Reached my goal in six days... now what?

I considered my project a niche game, so I was worried that I wouldn't make even my modest goal. Apparently it connected with more people than I'd expected, because I reached my goal on day six.
I'm a pessimistic person, so I hadn't considered this possibility in much depth. Most of the sources I've read are all about getting up to your goal - can anyone recommend resources for how to proceed once you've passed it?

Congratulations on reaching your goal! I found this link on how to use stretch goals once you've reached or exceeded your original goal:

Is that helpful at all?

Sure! I'll need to put a lot of thought into the best stretch goals going forward...

Interesting thoughts. I followed the second strategy outlined there and I'm also adding some new rewards levels to try to hit price points I'd missed before.

Don't assume you know what your backers really want. Ask them for suggestions about stretch goals and reward levels -- often you will get enthusiastic backers who will want you to craft a reward specifically for them.
The caveat here is don't get carried away and make promises you can't keep.
