Having subletted in NYC, I totally empathize with this haha. You could try doing a viral type of post like "22 roommates you will ____." The kind of post that people will make on Buzzfeed and link it to your campaign and have the post be composed of examples from your teaser. Better yet, if you could do a guest post for an established entertainment blog with that kind of content, it would likely have a better chance to go viral.

Have you posted on Reddit yet?

I think you have a bunch of good ideas. Definitely think the producer tier could be a good way to get there in such a short time.

Thanks so much, Salvador! Glad you understand our roommate and sublet pain. Pretty much every New Yorker does we find

Funny enough we just made a Buzzfeed list last night, that we polished this morning and are about to put out into the world called the Top 20 Worst Roomates Imaginable. So hopefully that helps! Any ideas on how to get further traffic drawn to that other than sharing and encouraging others to do so?

Also if you have any ideas of what you think would be especially helpful in making it get retweeted and posted about on Twitter specifically, I'm all ears! As Facebook we have a strong following on, and active Twitter, but Twitter we're still trying to figure out the best ways to draw interest to the campaign specifically.

Finally, we haven't posted on Reddit yet because we thought it might make more sense once we had the actual episodes for the series complete down the road (and my whole creative team uses Reddit the least in general right now as we don't fully get it I think, lol). But we are totally open to doing that! Any ideas of what would be best to post there to get attention?

Thanks so, so much! We are over 12k now so really hoping we can still hit 20k by end of night this Thursday.

All the best,
Katie

I understand your twitter pain. Instagram seems to be a much easier way of getting followers using simply correct hashtags whereas twitter I'm having trouble getting anyone to respond.

It takes a while to build up a sizable twitter following from scratch (Think in terms of months). It gets easier the larger your following gets. Engagement from twitter also varies on your following and the following of the people who retweet you. I think it's best to tweet out articles written about your campaign if you get any press and mix that with self-promotion and other forms of content relevant to your audience (quotes, interesting articles, etc).

Thanks so much for the advice guys!

Today is the LAST DAY of our Kickstarter campaign so any sharing and backing you can do is very much appreciated: http://kck.st/1l8VjjJ

Thanks so much,

Congrats on the successful campaign!!!!!!!!!!

Just gave you the "Kickstarter success badge" Be sure to stay in touch and I invite you to share any tips, advice, resources, or thoughts for other creators in a new thread (maybe a good way to promote your web series when it goes live).

Thanks so much!

Awesome to see that Kickstarter Success Badge next to our name!!

At the moment totally exhausted from basically not sleeping for the last week of our campaign, but will definitely keep in touch and continue to share advice in the future.

Thanks again for all your suggestions everyone and I look forward to remaining a part of this community!

Cheers,
Katie

Congratulations! you have a nice project and fully funded. Keep going.

When I first started researching crowdfunding campaigns, this was one of the first ones I came across. I am so glad it was fully funded. The story is very inspiring!
