http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/80534516/eskimo-bob-series-rebootHi, I'm new to the whole Kickstarter thing looking for advice on getting the word out there. I launched early this morning and I have 7 backers totalling $156 so far. I've been usng Facebook, and to a lesser extent Twitter. Any advice on how to get more exposure, or stuff I should add, change about the campaign layout? Thanks!

Hey. I've included two links below that may help with getting the word out
.

Heard that the support for flash on mobile devices/tablets is waning. Do you have any way to reconnect with the audience that liked your series initially?

Thanks, I will check them out! I only plan to use Flash as an animation tool. The final product is going to be exported as a streaming video so it will be mobile friendly. I've just spent the last couple of months recoding and uploading the older episodes to YouTube to generate interest and get the old Facebook community interested again, so the old episodes are mobile friendly as well now. I've had good feedback from the existing fans. I've seen quite a bit of a resurgence today since launching the Kickstarter too. I'm hoping that if I keep posting updates that after Christmas more people will take notice, as today and tomorrow are obviously very busy days. In retrospect it may not have been the ideal day to launch a campaign, but I've always associated the series strongly with Christmas so that's why I did it.

That's awesome! Glad to see that you are engaging with your old fans and getting them excited
. Let me know if there are any questions you have or articles I can research on particular topics.
Do you have an email list at all? I tend to get better conversions via email with my fans than FB. Could also try vine if it's video based? I've never done any marketing with Vine, but would be something to test.
