My son made a deal with my Facebook friends that if he got 3 new backers by the end of the day, he would dance around in walmart in a blue morph suit. Well, it worked, he got 4 backers and was soon dancing around walmart to Pharrell's "Happy" song. It was fun and a way to engage his backers. Just wanted to share! I will also post a link to the video.. it may just bring a smile to your face :)

This is a great idea...if the youtube video blows up you just grabbed more attention from potentional backers. You should add the link to your KS on the video to direct traffic to the project

The video was a nice touch, though a tad on the long side.

The Lurker Joe's concept, I like that.

Yeah, it definitely is a great idea. Youtube is one of the biggest traffic sources in the internet and there are millions of potential backers lurking around the website all the time. Uploading some informational videos and linking the viewers to a landing page with a kickstarter worked for me. All you gotta do is to make the backer trust you ^_^
