    General Kickstarter Enquiry

    by rollerworld » Thu Dec 19, 2013 10:28 am

    Hello, I am an electonics design engineer amongst other things. I designed an outstanding high power audio power amplifier http://www.valfet.com/new.htm - I have been mentally ill with depression and I am not well enough to take this amplifier to the next stage of it's evolution which may be a redesigned chassis, a beefed up power supply, a beefed up output stage.

    I will need to contract this out, or employ an electronics engineer to complete the design to my electronics specification. I will set up a limited company for this project and I am looking for £30K to bring about project fruition.

    Will I need a video to promote the project on kickstarter? Is there a book that can be recommended for kickstarter protocol? I am retired and on low income, however, I am prepared to pay a qualified person £50 to put a professional kickstarter proposal together.

    Thanks Anthony Johns.

    "Will I need a video to promote the project on kickstarter? Is there a book that can be recommended for kickstarter protocol?" - Yes, projects with videos highly outperform projects without videos (by some estimates 50-80% more likely to succeed). I've written a lot of articles on the topic of raising money on Kickstarter on CrowdCrux.com. These could be helpful. I also reviewed a book on Kickstarter here: http://www.crowdcrux.com/review-of-how- ... ckstarter/

    I'll tweet out your contract offer.

    Roller world,
    I would definitely take Sal's advice and spend a few days on Crowdcrux.com drilling down into the archived articles. Also, you have a chance to join www.snoopcrowd.com and be a chance to join as a ground floor member. Many of us are learning as we go along qr sometimes it feels like I am that member of the Grateful Dead who taught himself slide guitar, on stage at their shows--in front of thousands of fans.

    Also cast a wide net on Google. Search: how to make an awesome Kickstarter project video and just click as many links as you can!
