It's a bit of a long article, but I felt compelled to share my experiences with Funded Today. They boast a lot of success and in their defense, they have had some wildly successful projects.. but I had a miserable experience with them. They didn't treat me like a valued client at all and omitted som...

Ah, perfect. That's helpful, I'll see about fixing it.

That's really strange, I can't imagine why it wouldn't be loading for you. The main homepage is loading fine for you? (m) But the countdown page is not? (m) Both of these are loading fine for me here and I can't think of any reason that they wouldn't work for someone else. (They're all being hosted ...

Launch day is on May 4th.

Jake has just (April 5th) contacted me and has offered a full refund, citing various business issues as making him unable to fulfill our agreement.

I think your best bet would be to simply keep track of these backers in a spreadsheet until you eventually have a webstore that can handle gift coupons or discount codes. Something like Shopify has a plugin for mass-generating these codes and you can set them to be one-use codes. Then you can use so...

Great story, thanks for the photos. Have one question: how do you define a Kickstarter-friendly manufacturer? They've done a number of Kickstarters before and the relatively small batch size was no problem for them. Furthermore, they were well set up to load the software we gave them on to the boar...

Oof, hard to say.. My last project, Reflowster made around $15k (over it's $10k goal). I'm really just shooting from the hip.. but I'd say that if you were aiming for more than $20k-$50k that you should start looking into covering your butt on the taxes. I think Amplex had good advice to see if you ...

The few problems along the way that I mentioned were the only really big ones.. there was definitely a bit of stress associated with large numbers of them suddenly not working and we ended up going over our budget very slightly (but recouped it in later sales) Reflowster was definitely designed to b...
