Hello Everyone, My name is Ulysses. . .
Posted: Tue Dec 03, 2013 7:51 am
. . . and I am currently running my campaign. It is an effort to get exposure for my art as well as perhaps get funded and be able to scale up my art (the originals have all been between 11x14 to 12x16) to a 16x20 archival print.
Things have been. . . interesting.
Although I trust the stats--I reached 25% at the exact mid point of my campaign-- I also don't trust them if that makes any sense. I am a realist and do not know, however powerful the Kickstarter Effect is, how I can raise over 4k in the next 6 days.
Anyway, I would have done a ton of things differently. My reward tiers are muddled and confusing. I ramble on like a 14 year old girl from Derry, New Hampshire talking about Justin Bieber and The Hunger Games series, et al. . .
But I am addicted to crowd funding. I have had minor triumphs, these past few weeks, that are lost on my friends and family--things that only fellow crowd funders can relate too. Despite reading the How To guide on Kictraq about getting your project on the Hot List, I did not understand the guide, as it used a card game analogy that was lost on me. I had to ask my cousins on Thanksgiving what it meant. I think I get it now. . . despite my ineptitude about Kicktraq, somehow my project is number three on the Hot List in my Illustration category. Also, Kicktraq tweeted about the campaign, which made me leap into the air and float up into the clouds.
Alas, non of this has translated into pledges this last week. As the final days approach I grow more fearful that I made many, many fatal errors in regards to my campaign and I have so many things to fix, that I may Fail to Fund on 12/8/13 and be forced to instantly switch to Relaunch mode.
Does anyone know how the relaunch process works? Do you have to re-submit? How long do you recommend waiting?
I have lurked here days before the launch and have just built up enough courage to create an account and make a post.
Here is my project >>>>>>> http://kck.st/1dMS2DY
