Hi Jeff, thanks for liking my page. A few things...first, I stopped backing/promoting campaigns for a while...I'm up to 600 and taking a break. Second, I do give advice on many campaigns and here are my comments:

1) Colour & graphics: your page lacks colour and is far too texty, needs more graphics. The is especially concerning because your bio says you are a graphic artist. Your page should be better than most

2) title: there seems to be a typo...maybe "jumped" instead of "jump"? or "to jump" instead of "jump"

3) outreach: it seems that you have done no outreach in advance, you did not get friends, family involved as evidenced by $0 pledges. People don't like to be the first or second to back a campaign

4) description: "You have jump off cliffs all the time, and build your wings on the way down.". I don't understand what you do. You need to explain it in that short sentence. "I make custom design t-shirts" or something

Good luck Jeff, I think you can get it done if you revise some things

Hi Gregory,

I just follow you on Facebook and twitter (arora, and @arora_team)

Hi Greg,

That is rare to have backed so many projects well done!!! We've just launched a project which we really love but are struggling a week in to get more backers! We're on £1500 and need another £3500 in 22 days... If you like our project we'd be very grateful for you to share it - and we'll like your FB page in return...of course any pledges welcome if you love it too

Basically we already produce a new music podcast supporting emerging artists, and we want to take it on the road! We want to kit out a van with recording equipment and travel to the musicians to record unique sessions with them to share with the world! Pretty decent rewards to - please let me know what you think!

He said like 3 posts above that he doesn't promote campaigns anymore

Hi Toni, sorry for the delay. Just want to give you some quick feedback.

Your video is fine, down to earth but makes sense for this small project

Your campaign page I find very wordy, would be better with more image and less text.

Rewards...I'm not sure I always see the value, like the Aurora Club...not sure if that is something backers find valuable. I think you can have other interesting rewards built around your characters since it is your animated characters that people will relate to. For more expensive rewards, people can help design characters that even look like them. For cheaper rewards, have stuff like a letter that the character will mail to you kid directly.

good luck

Hi Jack/Gabbie, thanks for reaching out. A nice little project. Perhaps adding a map showing the planned cities or places you'll hit (even if it changes later) would be helpful. Also, wasn't clear to me if you already have scheduled people in places or not.

I think the rewards that work are those that are personalized. Like singing out a backers name during a song for $5, or writing a verse about them for $100. People like to be part of something

Best of luck!

I have stopped backing campaigns for a while, now I give feedback. I have found that many projects are weak and backing people is not worth as much as solid feedback.

You can unlike my FB page if you don't find this useful

Hi Greg.

Really like the idea of adding a map, thank you for the feedback! It will definitely change as one reward is letting people pick our destinations, but could be good still to show what we envision!

Thanks,

Gabby & Jack

Lol. Putting out a call like this, I bet you've been swamped! I just have this feeling that crowdfunding has become the new beggars tool. Soooooo much crap out there, some really good stuff but most is just a joke.
