Hi Sal,

Great insight from the interview. My notes:

Kickstarter editor picks – subjective – no algorithm
Indiegogo – great insight on rewards vs demand funds - people are not ready for production with unsuccessful goals.
Video – is my video good? Does it need to be tweaked?
Facebook – entertainment, share quotes. I agree
Reddit – is a community of forums, upload your links that pertain to those forums to gain rapport?
I launched too soon. I think my kickstarter was too quick to launch because I wanted to market World Cup fans but had a time limit with the World Cup start date.
There might not be market for my product or I am not pushing my project in the right forums.
Thank you,
Patrick

With Kickstarter's new discovery features, you can also view trending projects now more easily, though a lot of what they include in their newsletters seems to be subjective. Indiegogo claims that their newsletters and press outreach is all determined by how you rank via the gogofactor algorithm they use.

Hmm.. you could consider trying Teespring?

Thanks for the feedback. I will dig into Teespring. I am curious about quality of t-shirts. And where they are produced. I want the best for my customers.
