Kickstarter Plateau, how to push onward?

Hello! My name's Melissa and I'm currently running a kickstarter to fund the printing of my comic collection!

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nal ... full-color

It's a military fantasy with flying girls! With drama, comedy, and psychotic drill sergeants!

So far I have promoted on my webcomic's domain, Facebook, twitter, tumblr, YouTube and Newgrounds, places my fans hang out.

But I seem to have plateaued very early.

I've looked around for advice on how to press on but most kickstarter advice blogs don't seem to cover something like comic promotion.

Would any of you have any advice on how to continue pushing forward?

Thank you!

-Melissa

Hi Melissa,

I'm sure that others can help with regards to the comic niche, but one thing that might help (with regards to blogger outreach) is this list I complied of comic book bloggers: http://www.crowdcrux.com/20-bloggers-an ... mpaign-to/

Also check out WeLoveComics.

Additionally, I've done two interviews of creators that ran successful campaigns that might be helpful:

At the end of the day, like you said, I would focus on where your fans or potential fans hang out.

Thank you so much!

I have a question, could this holiday also be hindering potential backing? I seem to have hundreds of people traveling through my page every hour, but still no new backers.
