So my 2nd attempt at a kickstarter campaign is struggling. Last time I raised $45 and am up over $600 on a $2500 goal. Im trying to get the funds to get a small place to make my unique candies.
Take a look and see if you have any suggestions for me.
Thank you in advance!!

Just an update since posting the original one. I have had one more $30 donation and that is about it. I am getting video views everyday just nobody donating. I did get approached by a local radio station about doing an interview about my campaign but I fear it may be too late to make that difference. Any additional assistance on my project would be a huge help. 15 days left to go and $1841 more to raise.

First, despair will not help your project to succeed. You have 14 days to go, now, and that is two full weeks. A local radio station can be a big plus. Why? Not so much because it might help you to reach your funding goal, all at once. Rather, because it can be a catalyst to help your project achieve some renewed momentum.

Even if your Kickstarter fails, you can turn right back around and launch a project anew. The radio station can help you to reach more potential backers for your next crowdfunding effort, should this one fail. Even failure can be a foundation for success, even if it requires a bit more time and additional effort to reach your ultimate objective.

There are your confections, and there are people who could be enjoying your confections.

Your project page makes no attempt to show the latter.

Create more positive energy and positive visual impact, by incorporating images of people being happy and munching on your treats. It will help to create more of a personal touch. Image-wise, your project page also fails to incorporate images of you. People can connect to your project, or to you.

Consider switching out other images for the current project image. It is predominantly white, but compare that to all of the chocolate on display below the project image. Your project image doesn't utilize chocolate in a visually impactful manner, even though it is one of the core foundations of what you create.

I appreciate all of the great feedback. I am making some changes to the project today to kick it up

I was having a trying day yesterday but things are looking up. Preparing for the radio interview tomorrow and they told me it may go on TV as well. Keeping a positive attitude from here on out. This is my 2nd time with this project. Last time was $45 and so far i am at $750. If i have to launch for a 3rd time i know i will hit it!!

You need to be more self-confident. Wish you good luck. Hope you'll reach your goal.

Mine is slow to start as well. 50% in first two days then dropped off. Not sure what happened.

I went ahead and backed it, Jason, to move you to the $900 mark.

I really appreciate the backing. My radio interview that i did yesterday should air soon which should create some buzz too. Now that im over the 30% mark im showing higher in the popularity rankings
