Hi Zachary, I saw the the @whatever post too..it's terrible how these Marketers act as they just focus on the money and not the project owner.
For Minimal Apparel, I left comments on a previous thread on where you can improve. You've got over a month left, so it's possible you'll reach your goal.
As mentioned before, it depends on who you're connecting with. Any influencers who are writing about you too or taking photos of other people wearing your thong will help... Having a big graphic on your page showcasing where you've been featured will help too.
Let me know if you need further advice
