There is an article said Tuesday is the best launch time, most of the successful project launch on Tuesday.

there's a lot less reporters and news in teh summer so that is generally not a good time to launch.

Hi Matt,
Yeah, I was thinking the same about launching in the summertime which is one of the main reasons we decided to push back our launch date. I think its important to also steer away from holidays and such, so we´ve been looking at holidays in the US, UK, etc. so that we stay away from launching around those times. We´ll see how it all goes I guess! =]

This is excellent feedback I will definitely address this before our actual launch which is in the next month. We are excited but scared about it and I still worry that we aren't ready yet so we will see.

I recall reading somewhere that Tuesday was the best day. Not sure if the season actually matters...

I recall that the author of the article felt that it was best to NOT launch a Kickstarter project on the weekend. I think that he launched on either a Tuesday or a Wednesday. The weekends tend to be dead, relative to the weekdays, if I remember correctly, although that's my choice of words, not the author's. It was what I took away from the article.

This is what I was thinking as well! I launched on Thursday Evening and have only 5 backers so far! http://kck.st/YUBXWn

So, I lost a few days and on this short campaign, every day counts!

It seems that Tuesday is a magical day for not only posting to Kickstarter but getting in touch with media and bloggers. At the end of the day it's good to take advantage of proven advice but we still have to have an amazing pitch regardless of what day of the week we post.

I was originally planning on launching october 1st. The time snuck up on me and I still didnt feel 100% with marketing to bloggers and such.
I decided to give myself 1 more month which also put me in the position of people potentially using my products as holiday gifts. I went so far as to mention it in my video.

Hope it helps.
