thank you for sharing its been a huge help

Can't expect to be a big one like Exploding Kittens or the Coolest Cooler. They are super advanced users with millions to spend.

Think of all the junk mail you just delete every morning without opening. Don't count on your emails being read by everyone, especially if it's a mass email.

It is also worth keeping in mind that not everyone has to actually open an e-mail, in order to read it. The e-mails that I get in my in-box via Kickstarter, I can read them without having to click on them and open them.

I 100% agree that building your audience before the project launches is vital and something we're finding out the hard way. We delayed and delayed going public about idea because we wanted to establish a name we were happy with for the film. This time would have been better served engaging with an audience.

Great project by the way, and 5 days is extremely impressive.

Wow, congratulations on reaching your funding goal in such a short amount of time! I really liked the layout of your page and might use some of the design aspects for my own pages in the future. Everything you mentioned was awesome and very helpful as well!

If anyone's interested my current project is a video game that I am developing entirely on my own. it can be found here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/10 ... /neo-tanks.

congrats! looks like a cool product

This is truly very informative. Used some of these tips on my campaign

'start building your audience early', it means not a week or two ahead, but months ahead. We made an internal decision not to share that we were going to be on Kickstarter way in advance, so we only started aggressively building an audience right before the launch on FB, and I think the outcome could've been much better had we had a huge base to start with.

I've been hearing this piece of advice from a lot of people who ran campaigns, thanks for reinforcing it and sharing your experience

Congratulations!

Great read and loved watching your progress. Being new to kick-starter, how can i best fund my campaign quickly? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/28 ... nav_search
