I'm curious to know what kind of promo you did?
Thanks
I've been getting this question a lot. It's actually really simple. (but you can't expect to get much of a result through just one of these methods so you have to do EVERYTHING) I just paid for advertisement, used Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and DeviantArt. I also contacted website and got interviews and features. It was really important to push the project on as many people as possible- especially because my comic is very new. It's only been online for 4 months and my fanbase is only around 1,000. Then I had issues reaching my fanbase because I didn't have a actual website. Just a website I was hosted on... therefore I had no way to email those fans and let them know about the project...
I ... had to really do a lot of legwork. I also went to local comic book shops and passed out flyers.
Really, everything that you can think of, do it. If you have a art project/comic/anything (and it looks great) you can get funded with little to NO fanbase. My project is proof of this. You just have to put the leg work in! After it's funded though, people are more likely to donate more and up their pledges.
I hope that helps!
