So our project has 2 days left and we just passed 90%!
We tried a lot of different strategies, including a very intense press release reach out, using the fiverr services that bump your project to the top, trying to get everyone to email Kickstarter to put us on staff pick, companies that help kickstarter campaigns, reaching out to bloggers, kickstarter launch event, reddit (kickstarter and AMA), etc'

I know every project is different, but I'd like to share that we are seeing a lot of backers right now from using the Facebook "boost post" option. We did a giveaway asking people to share, and we posted our campaign a few times boosting it with about $50 each time. It looks like it paid off every time we did it. I just regret that we waited so long before doing it, so my advice would be to use paid facebook promotion tools early on

If you'd like more info on any of the other strategies mentioned above, please feel free to ask.

Good luck everyone!

I'm not in a position (yet) where i can use the boost promotion tools on FB, Any advice about starting from $0.00?

What's your project, btw?

Hey CreteGirl,

In that case I would start joining facebook groups that are in your topic, and become an active member. You can promote there for free as long as you play nice

My project is this one: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/11 ... rens-books

I've seriously thought about using Facebook Boost and glad I came across your post. Has anyone else tried this?

Good suggestion!

Thanks for sharing what worked for your project!

that fiverr service should be like 300 bucks

I just boosted my own post thanks to your advice. I'll see how well it works and consider boosting more as my campaign continues. Thanks for the great idea!

I've boosted quite a few things on Facebook before, it can be addicting!

Thanks for the suggestion about fiverrr - I think I will try that!

Am in the last 10 days and starting to panic a bit.
