Let me know what you think!

Thank you so much for this. I have been following you for a week or so, trying to get my head around my Kickstarter. I thought that I have too many audiences, but now I can see that I can tailor a campaign to each audience. (For my Kickstarter is actually a literary project in disguise--it is a poem/electronic lit in itself.) http://tinyurl.com/greet-rose

I have to say, the information you have given here and elsewhere about having personal photos is very intriguing. It is an angle I would not have thought about. I guess that is obvious to most people, because most people trust faces. But I was legally blind as a kid, so I do not value faces like others do. So, thank you.

Glad the articles and resources have been helpful! Let me know if you have any questions about Kickstarter/Crowdfunding I can help answer

Do you have any articles on getting into traditional media? In particular local TV?

I have a few friends who are on the local news and morning shows here (other bloggers) but I'm wondering what a crowd funder's thoughts are on how to get in.

(And sometimes the friends don't really have that much pull.)

I've included a list of a few articles that I think might be helpful. I'm not as experienced with TV PR, but I think it would come down to the same principles (outreach, making relationships, selling people on the idea of why you are good for the spot, repeat).

My ebook has a lot of interviews with successful creators, and some of them talk about PR .

I've also included two videos below on the topic

"Joy Schoffler can help you get the attention of the press and use that attention to gain traction in crowdfunding."




"Mary Keating and Monta Johnson of Hill+Knowlton Strategies highlight the fundamentals of public relations (PR) for startups."

Awesome, thanks!

Thank you for the tip!

Welcome

Great article - thanks!
Another important thing is to do proper research before reaching out to a journalist.
Few things are more sure to burn a contact by pitching a reporter with a topic they will never cover.

Interesting article, some worthy points in there. Am finding games coverage hard to get for Kickstarter projects
