Hey guys, just wanted to share my story in case there's anyone out there like me.

I thought about adding my project to Kickstarter for about 2 years. But fear never let me. "What if I fail?" "What if people never pledge?" "I am not good enough". But I never let that stop me. For one year I studied other successful campaigns not just in my category (Comics/Graphic Novels) but all over Kickstarter. I took notes, I watched videos and read blogs. After months and months of meticulous planning I finally launched my campaign on Sunday April 4th. And would you believe in just 3 days I met my goal! In 2 days I had my campaign posted on Mashable because of my unique take on the superhero genre. In fact it was so buzz worthy it had 3000 shares in 2 days. And this is for a graphic novel that hasn't been released yet. Here are some links to check out

Why am I sending this email? Simple. I am proof that Kickstarter works. I am proof that you can chase your dreams. I am proof that if you never give up, you can be a success. It is such an awesome feeling/story and I just had to share it with you guys. I just want to make sure people see that even a project as diverse and niche as mine (A superhero from Africa) can indeed be a success.

Thanks!

Congratulations! We too had/have similar fears. We think we may not be as prepared as we thought. We are going to be featured on our local new stations this coming week and possible a high hit counting blog, so we haven't counted ourselves out yet, but good inspirational story. it gives us hope!

How did you get Mashable's attention? Did you have a contact? Thanks.

To be honest it was luck meeting preparation. I kept on tweeting and sharing my animated trailer all over social media. And pretty soon people started to help share. A lady that works for Mashable got wind of it and contacted me for an interview

good to see that kickstarter works! congratulations on hitting your target!

Interesting project

You give us great motivation #

nice project

Wow,

This is awesome! You give me hope. I am on day 3 of my campaign and just like you I am scared out my mind!

I am motivated by your story, I wish I took time as you did to plan and study KickStarter campaigns. Thank you so much for sharing.

Take a look at my Campaign when you get a chance
