“Having one creative idea isn’t the only criterion that can take you through the entire process of crowdfunding on Kickstarter easily. What’s equally important is how you get your consumers glued to your product and eventually land up backing for it. ”

Where Can You Promote Your Kickstarter Project For Grabbing the Attention of a Larger Audience?

research before you launch is always your friend

who are you targeting ?
is there forums for it ?
is there facebook pages/groups
is there twitter and other sites
is the specialist magazines
will my local press run an article ?
after you have a few of these you don't want to bombard everyone all at once on twitter and facebook as your account will be reported but work out a schedule and take a few hours a night to post stuff and get the word out there even before you start your project send the preview page out get people interested before you start.

make sure you can provide perks if you use them, everything takes time and time is always money to someone.

make sure you come to a reasonable target which covers all costs

have a business plan ready for how to proceed after kick starter

Great information here, thanks!

There are many sites right now, there are some with good comments and reviews like Kicktraq.

I have found Reddit to be a great resource too. A bit critical, but they often make very good points.

And don't forget to do actual user research. Not just friends and family (they tend to be bias).

Well it works for some but not for the majority I guess:)

All good points. If there's a "story" to your project either about the idea, how it came about, or another angle besides the product itself you might be able to leverage that into a newsworthy tidbit. Or finding 2-3 other projects that fill a similar need or appeal to your audience can also be helpful.

Forums like this are another great resource for discovery.

I think Facebook is a great idea.
