    Launching in two days!

    by xiller » Mon Oct 14, 2013 4:48 pm

    Hey everyone! We’re launching our Kickstarter in two days and would really appreciate some feedback on it beforehand. We’re creating the dislike button on Facebook and the Dizzlike Profile around the dislikes.

    The link to preview: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/169 ... n=aeaa46bf

    All feedback, whether positive or critical, is really appreciated!

    Best,
    Anton Levitskij

    Thank you Sal for your question! We have changed a lot from our last campaign, which was about a complex game. Now we’re making the dislike button and the profile around them. These are, in fact, part of the game. People had difficulties to understand the complexity of our game but this Profile is, we hope, easier to understand.

    The reason is simply that we couldn’t build the hype around the game. Now we have a smaller concept. In addition, there are already people who want the dislike button. But still, it’s hard to reach for awareness.

    I want to thank you Sal the great work you’re doing. I visit frequently crowdcrux.com and I’ve learned a ton of helpful information from those articles. Especially the one you wrote from the speech of Guy Kawasaki was very useful as after that I’ve watched several videos of him. Please, keep on writing!

    Thanks a lot! He's a pretty insightful guy (haha).

    Yea, I remember your campaign being a little complex. Definitely think this version is much easier to understand. I would submit an article you are featured in to HackerNews and Reddit. Think you could get some good traction on those sites.

    Insightful is, no doubt, the perfect adjective :D

    Thank you for your tips! Reddit is familiar but this Hacker News was totally new for me.

    If you get on the front page of hacker news, check out the effect:

    I've gotten a good number of views on a few news releases in the past from the website.

    Wow, that is quite impressing! Thank you again Sal for sharing information! I wonder why I hadn't heard of this Hacker News before.

    Hacker News

    Yes I have heard that front page of Hacker News has a huge effect....of course the trick is to get there.

    I also heard that getting bloggers to write about your product has a big influence on driving traffic to your page...however, it is quite hard getting the attention of bloggers who have high ranking pages to write about your product
