Hey guys, hope you're well.

Here's my kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ti ... ic-designe

Stormdeck is my first kickstarter so it's been a bit of a learning process. I developed Stormdeck in my spare time over the course of a year so I could produce a prototype for the kickstarter promo.

The product is aimed at graphic designers so it's a bit more of a niche audience. Feedback I've had has been extremely positive, but spreading the word has been an uphill struggle.

The first week saw a good amount of backers, mainly from people searching on Kickstarter directly, or by social media where I had posted the link. Now with 23 days left things have slowed down, I've submitted a press release, been very active of twitter / FB / Linkedin, I've emailed kickstarter and design blogs, and I've used http://mygigs.co/ to help spread the word.

I'm realising that with a niche audience comes a hard struggle to get the word out. I'll be continuing to push forward to promote and hopefully make this project a success. I'm confident in the product, but still very much finding my feet when it comes to the best way of promoting it.

Kind Regards,


Tim

Amazing Tim, Love the colors, good luck with everything

Haven't heard of MyGigs before and your Stormdeck logo looks like the guy's above me

I think it's a good idea, not sure if you're accepting comments but I'll give them anyway...maybe the text is too small, are both sides used on the cards? I guess you could run a subscription service in the future where fresh replacements and advancements on the current cards are sent to subscribers.

If you need help with the final push of promoting, let me know as you'd fit nicely on our gifts site (Crowdfunding section).

This post has been moved to the General Chat + Introduce Yourself section.

How did the My Gigs purchase work for you? How big of a spike? Which plan did you get? It looks cool, but I'm a first-timer and nervous about the promotional services (so many of them).

Well I see you've reached your target goal, congratulation! I hope it continues to get more support.

I've added a reminder on your project too, I think I shall be giving you my support

Good work, i like it!
