Yes, it simply sounds like you need a more robust budget. In my budget in Excel I have a line for each reward. It's actual costs, it's postage and packaging costs, and my profit margin. I also estimate how many people I think will pledge at that level. I estimate the spending habits of my usual cust...

You will get 95% of whatever you raise. So a goal of $1052.63 will get you that. If you raise more, you are still receiving over your goal. If you raise $1060 then you get $1007, for example. The formula - take the amount you want to earn and divide by 0.95. Personally I put in an extra 15% to accou...

Learned so much from my first Kickstarter and now my second one is running - creating another artist book as a product and support income for my brand new art/science gallery. (just opened 2 weeks ago so I'm stil in the scary exciting phase!) 100% funded in 24 hours. Now 166% funded with 22 days to ...

2 friends and I have launched our campaigns within a week of each other. We have a Facebook private chat and I have to say it's been an amazing way to work! Find some friends, critique each other's projects, help promote (where relevent to your audience!), and of course the moral support. We've had ...

We researched a lot of films and it seemed the successful ones had a lot of the film done and needed funds for either post-production, distribution or market...

The game looks stunning! Just lent you a leg. Always nice to see someone this side of the Atlantic too.

I've backed 28. A few different things catch my eye really. I like to support other fine artist campaigns because I like supporting the arts generally and I know other artists helped fund me at low levels. As a gamer, I do back some gaming stuff rather impulsively! And comic book things too. Just be...

I probably spend about 3-4 hours a day on Kickstarter. From days drafting it, to promotional time now that it's running. I'm guessing it wil stay about 3-4 hours a day when I come to writing the book and making the rewards too. This is part of my regular full job job though, and my Kickstarter proje...

First of all, can I just say how awesome it is that you're still doing this over a year later. I'm a newbie to the forum, saw this thread, but didn't think you'd still be keeping up with it.
