First tip.
To paraphrase...
Failure to prepare, is surely preparation for failure.

Well go back to basics, there is a plethora of advice and information on this site and in google. Read up on all you can about starting a campaign what to do to prepare, how to do it etc

From your post and no I haven’t taken a look at the campaign, but from your post it would appear you had no idea where the funding was going to come from. That implies you had no plan to raise money, who to engage with, who to target, there would appear to be no engagement from friends and family or anyone you brought to the campaign to support it.
How do you expect a stranger to back you, if ppl you know won’t? It would seem you need to go back to first principles understand how crowdfunding works and how you make that work for you.
