    Pledges, Chaos and Setbacks...and it's just Day 2

    Hello Everyone!

    Well, I finally launched my campaign yesterday. 35 days for a web series I would like to produce. My goal is 15k. The pledges started off slow yesterday, but started to pour in my mid afternoon to early evening. We hit $1500 within the first day.

    However, I had some serious setbacks yesterday. Either due to a glitch or a hacker, I got logged out of my Facebook acount and the password was changed. Some kind of way, I was able to get back in but when I logged out again to check another page, I could not log back in. When I tried to change my password, Facebook told me that I had attempted that too many times...I hadn't even tried once. I went back and forth with a rep and finally had to change my entire email address associated with that account. That was the good news. The bad news...I have to wait 24 hours until I can access my account again. Mind you, I am running an ad that I cannot even access at the moment.

    Obviously, without me championing the campaign, my pledges have slowed down to only two today so far. I talked to my strategist who says that is a little concerning and encouraged me to get on the phone. I don't have a lot of phone numbers, most of my contacts are on Facebook. And the people I did call committed to pledging, but so far, have not.

    I don't know whether I should continue or cancel the campaign. This is a heck of a way to start off. Any suggestions about how to get momentum back up would be awesome. Thanks!

    You should at least see it through if anything else.
    Receiving superpowers from the Earth to combat an ancient evil is a profoundly demanding task, but society may be the biggest problem.
