I knew we hired Mr. Briggman for something! Yeah, that one was staring me in the face....good call. There is still some degree of leakage possible once they reach Kickstarter, but that would temper it a great deal. Still a bit related to this all, whether KS admits it or not, you'd have to think the...

Hey all, Let's say I wanted to go out and advertise my project outside of Kickstarter. Perhaps I do a banner buy for 500K impressions. Maybe I get co-op placement in 10K emails some company is sending. Or I buy a paid editorial feature in some magazine talking all about my project. My day job is in ...

Out of curiosity, if somebody backed any project on Kickstarter, they are a "backing-minded" person. That said, are there existing channels to tap into past backers of any project on Kickstarter? And similar, what about us all scratching each other's backs? For example, say I like your pro...

The funding would go towards the printing of the book. Funding goal TBD - I just have to figure how many backers I think I can get vs. the cost of the book/shipping and other production-related expenses. But while the funding is for the book printing, I think I plan to strongly make my project about...

Hey all - absolutely - I certainly plan to be completely honest about my project. It's a book, or ultimately the printing of a book. But how does one make that sound inspirational? Here's a better way for me to frame what I'm asking. Imagine I find a regional newspaper who wants to run a story about...

Speaking of building a fan base of sorts, if your KS project fails - can you still see the names/email addresses of everyone who has pledged to thus add them to your emailing list? Can you see these people's email addresses while the project is underway? Or must you correspond with them only through...

I don't believe I can claim to use the money for "marketing" - I think KS mandates that the money be used directly for the completion of a project. In every case with my project, the end result of the money will be to have the book printed. But then, people are backing/financing the printi...

Thanks roymorejon - starting to like what I hear. It's really just 10-35% of funding coming from friends/family? For the average project, I would have thought it was more like 90% - but I'm honestly glad if I'm wrong there.

Thanks for the reply roymorejon...you might actually be able to answer a question that's been nagging me. I noted it in another post, but I initially viewed KS as a promotional tool. But I'm starting to realize or believe it's more of a hub to direct your family/friends/Facebook friends to as you as...

Hey all, I plan to put a project on Kickstarter for a children’s book. It’s actually a collection of stories with the same characters in the same world, and I have 10 stories mostly ready and about 100 more in various states. It's for kids who aren't quite old enough for Harry Potter yet. It's an ad...
