6 days into my campaign I was contacted by Good Morning America who said they wanted me to appear on their Shark Tank segment to pitch a shark! I was very excited, this is what all campaigns want, national attention.

Not only was I not able to do the appearance but Good Morning America came back 2 weeks later and asked me again to appear! I missed that opportunity as well which was heart breaking.

Don't let this happen to you!

Please take a look at my update for the full story:

You will notice I have pulled down all content from my first campaign, I just didn't feel comfortable having it there forever. We are working on relaunching the campaign now.

You can view our video and see Bag Hero on my site as well as sign up for for Double Rewards where I will double any pledges made in the first 24 hours when we relaunch.

This post has been moved to the Share Your Kickstarter Story (Updates, Campaign Stats, Marketing Strategies Used) section.

What kind of funding do you think would have been ideal for you to invest pre-Kickstarter to avoid this sort of issue?

Thanks for sharing this - it underscores how quickly things can move, and the importance of being ready for anything!

How did you come in contact with Good Morning America anyway? Did you reach out to them or was it the other way around?

Thanks for sharing.
Glad you're keeping positive and will relaunch

Oof, that's rough. At least it was good validation in the end!

Yeah I'd like to know this too!

oh man, that sucks

Hi, it's not that difficult if you know where to look. For this case, you could send you direct pitch by Twitter to someone who's interested at GMA

- Sorry it's pretty broad, but I've done things like this in the past for clients too.
