On the very last weekend of funding for my Kickstarter, I posted the following: This is not a plea, rather a strongly worded request... First of all, thank you, current pledge makers for getting us this far! While members of this G+ community can expect more free tutorials, map samples and other car...

The tax advice I was given is that Kickstarter funding is income and is taxable. If I do not offset the income with costs for freelance services and printing in the same year, I will be taxed for the full amount, even if I plan to spend the costs in the following year. It is my intent with my KS fun...

I've used Facebook for 3 years, and Google+ for 3 months, and I far prefer Google+, am able to develop a fanbase faster and more efficiently than via Facebook. I find there are many, many communities, enough to find multiple niches to follow your concepts. Once someone becomes your friend, all commu...

You want to develop an audience and as large a one as possible, but startup Kickstarter funded creators seldom have huge audiences. My G+ community right now has 557 members, though during much of the Kickstarter it was about 450 members. About 20% of my backers came from my G+ community, while anot...

I wouldn't use Google Adsense, not for a Kickstarter anyway. Although it seems fairly common for first Kickstarter project creators not to do much pre-marketing, your project could be doomed for not doing so. Marketing is everything in getting noticed in the sea of Kickstarters competing for pledges...

I also see the backer pool as potential reocurring customers for future products. In my first successful Kickstarter (for my product, but I wasn't the creator of the project) the Kaidan setting of Japanese horror (Pathfinder Roleplaying Game) run last summer, I created a side project myself as prima...

During funding once things were going well, I updated almost daily, at least every other day. Now that it's over, I try to update once a week, but have been finding myself posting about every 2 weeks. As was mentioned by Ed Franklin on Kicksnarkers.com - I'd avoid SPAMMING your backers with updates ...

Well I don't really know the candy industry, but doing a quick search on Google+, I find several communities dedicated to chocolate: Chocolate Chocolate Lovers!! CHOCOLATE LOVERS Then I'd just Google "chocolate" and all your other keywords, adding blogs, forums, etc. to your search and see...

I think the General/Introduce Yourself board will continue to get both an intro of new members and "see my project" posts - even I did that. But I've done my best to keep that out of other threads. While I've certainly discussed in detail various of my KS, it's really more a review of what...

If you have the option to go through a US partner, that you trust, I'd personally recommending funding with dollars instead of pounds. I don't know if the average American pledger is shunning UK KS's, so much as intimidated by not knowing the exchange rates for dollars vs. pounds - it's simple to lo...
