    All reviews sounds [sic] great??? Is somebody using multiple accounts to make fake posts?


    Hi, ok I should wrote ''A lot of reviews sounds great''. I understand that ,there will be people who are not happy with their services. There is no service or platfom wich would be everyone happy with. And there are people who find BackersHub helpfull. I didn't tried their services yet, so I can't tell if they are good or not, but they have big community of bakers and thats what you need in you crowndfunding project, so why don't give it a try? If their services will not help you, then you don't have to use it again. But it would be shame if they can boost your project with their bakers and you wouldn't try it just because not everyone is happy with them. Thats just what I think. Anyway, there can be 1000x of websites, platforms, and communities but if your project is bad, nothing can help you reach your goal :)

    And don't call me fake acc or fake post please, I'm new here.

    Dear Kickstarters,

    We are the CANDO Heater, Hot Plate & Fondue Team.

    We have been using BackersHub from the start of our campaign and it was really helpful. Dwight was really generous and kind in every aspect. He helped us getting backers for our project at the beginning and in the end. Arround 35% of our backers were helping our project thanks to "BackersHub". We are truly thankful and we will colaborate in our further projects for sure.
    Best wishes to all Kickstarters!

    Things like this seem a bit scary. Seems like a lot of things like this are popping up to score a few bucks off of people. I've released a couple of mobile apps games, which I know is different than a crowd funding campaign, but they work the same way. Pay a fee, and they post about your game on twitter and facebook a couple of times. I've had more success without these marketing campaigns than with. I think a lot of the followers were just fake accounts they created.

    Hey Guy's,

    I have a live project, The GO! Hammock, and I want to share my great experience using backers hub, They did a facebook post on 5-13 and a newsletter push on 5-14. Things were going really slow at the time and then we saw a huge spike!!! Check it for yourself on Kicktraq. I was doing no other advertising so I can say without a doubt that this spike was because of backers hub! I was skeptical when I signed up but the results were amazing! I offered a special perk, like a flash sale for 48 hours. I would recommend doing some kind of special offer if your project allows it. The best part about that is that backers hub will send you the list of who gets the special reward, so fulfillment is easy.

    They also offer tips on cross promoting and they are adding a bunch of "value added" items like discounts for Shopify accounts.

    Here is a link to my project, there are a couple of early bird rewards left! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/go ... go-hammock

    Same here... I am in two minds... Not sure whether to go with BackersHub or not... but leaning towards a NO.

    The last two positive reviews are from new users with just one comment. Suspicious?...

    We are using BackersHub for the second time for our 2nd campaign now that live on Indiegogo KaVii Ver.2
    they haven't start their job yet, we will see how effective their works is after we finish with our campaign in the end of this month.

    Our first campaign got a lot of push from their service but that is on Kickstarter, we want to see if their service can work well with Indiegogo too or not.

    Ok my first post, this is my project url before someone calls me out https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sonothollywood/the-x-frame-mechanical-watch-relaunch

    My Project was fully funded after 13 btw

    I am posting this as a warning to anyone planning on using these guys, first yah yah yah Dwight is very professional and courteous, but....

    I should have knows when one of his emails was put in my spam folder with a warning something in the line of too many people marked that email as spam anyways i didn't listen...

    regardless, i Had a big ZERO from his site nothing, not even a single Backer has reduced his pledge to take advantage of the discount I offered,

    Now if I had a project that was stuck at 2% or even 30% ok I would understand but wow, 0? LOL

    so you have been warned, save your money and buy some google or facebook adds or burn it before you send it these guys way, what a joke!

    I used Backershub in a previous campaign and didn't see results.

    I'm not sure if I'll use them to promote our current Kickstarter project https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/in ... escription
