Just trying to get some tips from some successful launches or launches that are having great success right now. What have you found to be the most useful?

Emailing bloggers - There's a ton of information out there on how to approach bloggers, and I've read a lot of them. What have you found to be the most successful approach?
Was it more helpful to email bloggers who write about the industry or interest you're campaigning for (ex: I'm making apparel for outdoor enthusiasts. So for me this would be fashion/shirt bloggers vs outdoors related bloggers)?

Ad Campaigns - Has anyone tried these for their cf campaign?
What did you find to be most successful: Facebook, Google AdWords or any other mediums?
Did anyone try targeting philanthropists/angel investors in their advertisements?

Social Media - Did anyone have any huge success through social media coverage? How did it happen for you?

CF Website - Did anyone have great success by creating backer incentives? What did you do?

Feel free to leave responses on any or all of these questions.
Also feel free to visit my live campaign if you're into the ourdoors: http://goo.gl/ury3Yz
