How do you estimate your budget for marketing your campaign? In particular, spending on ads on Google, Facebook and Instagram? I find that the conversion for this is harder to estimate.

I'm on my fourth campaign and I feel that you're never truly ready to click on the submit button, but we do as much prep as we can and jump.

Thanks! All the best with your campaign!

Congratulations on your success! Mine is going live in 10 days and I'm all nerves. I've binge watched all of Sal's videos on youtube that I even here his voice in my head these days!

You can check it out at m I've been reading up a lot on preparing and running a Kickstarter campaign since over a year ago. A lot of homework done. But I never felt like I was ready for it....

Congrats! How do you plan to keep the momentum going? My project was funded in just 2 hours but I feel that things are slowing down. I want to keep pushing it, or maybe I'm just too anxious?
