Hi Forumistas!
I launched the Votsh Waves project on Kickstarter last Wednesday.
http://bit.ly/waveskickstarter. We have 14 backers and are approximately 12% of the way to the project goal, with 3 1/2 weeks remaining.
The initial backers are people I know. I focused our marketing on reaching my contact list and it has paid off so far. I have an additional 2 mailings and Facebook message outreach campaigns scheduled for the this week. Next week we focus outreach on bloggers and media companies (CNet, Engadget, etc.)
I paid for Facebook advertising through these organizations:
https://marketyourcrowdfunding.com ($100),
http://getmecrowdfunded.com ($650),
http://www.crowdfundingpr.org ($159). We also spent $600 on Facebook advertising which net us approximately 2500 "likes" with reach to 2,700 people. I will update this posting mid-week with results.
I am posting our press release (
http://www.votsh.com/press) on Monday using PRWeb ($370).
Charles Mosteller from this forum gave me immediate feedback on our project image and positioning: "Your project image is terrible, but your project video is good". I made changes the same day. Thank you Charles!
Please tell your friends about Votsh, I could use every bit of your help. Thanks!
