Love this story so much!
My favorite part is that OP thought about the campaign for 2 whole years before launching and in that time learned everything he could in order to get to a successful launch. Really, the only way to combat the fears and worries about launching is to:
- read through as much help and insights from other campaigns and successes as possible
- tudy other campaigns and what they did to where they are
- most importantly - ask for help! Crowdfunding is a strong community, previous creators are more than happy to help guide you in how best to prepare for your launch
Beyond that, the community here is incredibly helpful and I'd encourage anyone and everyone who is thinking about/toying with the idea of a crowdfunding campaign to jump right in!
