Hello!

First and foremost here is the link to my KS page please take a look, http://kck.st/MZzSTI

My name is Mareea, I had an anonymous message from Facebook this morning filling me in on how there are sites such as this for PR. He went through and listed a ton of things from news sites, podcasts, forums etc.

"I just saw your project on Kickstarter and I am loving it!! Sadly, I currently do not have the funds to back.

I really would love for your project to do well though so I would like to help in whatever way I can. As I believe that exposure is key to a project's success, I was wondering if you had any plans for publicity."

Something I had not even really thought about was to post outside of my normal range of sites i.e. facebook, pintrest, email, word of mouth. So I am here to get more information about where I could post my KS to get even more exposure. Any suggestions would be great, thanks!

Based on your product, I would consider actually looking into how Etsy sellers go about marketing their stores/products and applying those tactics to your Kickstarter.

The etsy blog has a bunch of great posts:

I searched by "tips" on the blog : http://www.etsy.com/blog/en/?s=tips&submit=Search
