I have a IndieGoGo campaign, I'ts a game called PAZL (https://igg.me/at/pazl/x/19227014).
I've tried from facebook ads to even whatsapp groups and Buzfeed!
None of this worked, It only has a day out, but even a single dollar hasn't come.

Does my campaign is destined to fail?
Do you have some tips to make it succed?

PS: My campaign have 25 days left.

$1400 isn't a huge target but raising 0 (not even from your own funds, family + friends etc.,) gives an indication whether your idea will take off.

I don't think it will succeed unfortunately, as your rewards of 'Thanks' or a 'Video' have no real value at all.

To be blunt, cancel and restart it once you're more prepared. Whether it's find a group of gamers and getting them to love what you're doing, establishing who will back you on Day 1 or perhaps not using Crowdfunding at all.

Hi SebGM2018 , you should have secured the first 30% of your funding goal from family, friends and relatives before launch to give your campaign that initial push. Here's a blog post that would be helpful to you. https://www.krowdster.co/blog/how-to-sa ... paign.html

Do you have a social following that you can lean on?

Completely agree with Hyperstarter here, especially with your rewards.

Before you go into your crowdfunding campaign you need to make sure you have:

1. Found and captured a large enough audience for the project. This audience must also have buying intent
2. Conducted a pre-launch to get people ready for the campaign launch
3. Created a converting campaign page with tons of social proof

If you haven't completed all 3 of these, don't expect to get funded because well, the biggest myth for crowdfunding is that if you just launch to the millions of people on the crowdfunding platform, they will all just come and give you money.

With the rewards, here are the things to consider when creating a rewards strategy: https://crushcrowdfunding.com/the-crowdfunding-reward-strategy-that-works/

Hope you've taken this first campaign as a learning experience and build up to a new project that is successful the second time around!

Keep in mind that crowdfunding platforms bring you about 10% (25% if you are lucky) of backers — all the rest is up to you.

Never start a crowdfunding without having a good audience and don’t waste money with those who promise to get results in 10 days - this never ever works.
Crowdfunding has to be planned at least 6 month before (even 1 year if you have not a strong audience and followers)
