Hi to everybody! I'm working to launch my own project

I have several questions (best time frame, duration, etc...) but the hottest ones at the moment are related to marketing.

Kickstarter says that 3D rendering are not allowed, but I saw many projects using... Why????

Marketing: which are the most effective tools? Facebook avd, Twitter or Adsense ?

Teasing: someone says that is better to stay in gosht mode until launch; others that you have to pre-launch your campaign... In the first case it would be much difficult to start good, in the second I'm sorry to loose potential backers...

Thank you very much from Portugal !!!

In regards to ghost most vs pre marketing, we struggled with this a lot. On the one hand we found it very difficult to market a hypothetical app, and get people interested (we still have this problem). Additionally, we were kind of caught in this, 'we have no call to action for people to get behind' situation while we were premarketing.

What we kind of settled on was to try to build a base of people who would be our niche market for Kickstarter. For us, that was golfers active on their social networks and hopefully trying to improve. We created and shared content about professional golf, about improving your game with similar concepts to the ones our app looks to capitalize on (better scores through better course management).
With family and friends we talked about it a little, but minimally to avoid their confusion. Just enough for them to have an awareness of the existence of our idea and an acknowledgement that we were working hard on something we were passionate about. We got the question 'so where can I download you app' a lot.

It's still a challenge and the next step for us is to really mobilize some of these people to pledge and help us reach our goal.
