If you don't back campaigns, you won't get backed....

....at least that's my theory based on some light research I've done.

MOVING ON -

I really like this campaign.
http://igg.me/p/the-birthday-story/x/8895823

I think when this book is completed it's going to be delightful. I really like the story concept and the adorable cover. :roll:

However, I'm wondering what tips you would give this campaign creator so that she can successfully get her project in the newsletter. I would suggest that in her first video she bring in a kid and reenact a scene in the story book, of course adding more balloons and party decor.

Anyway, i backed the book because of the story line and cover.

Check out the campaign and consider donating to it. I don't know the young lady, but I'm supporting her project because I believe that campaign sites consider how active you are on the site and if you've back other campaigns - these factors I believe trigger an algorithm in which the site promotes your campaign.

Also, I try to support as many campaigns as I can because I believe in doing unto others as you would have them do unto you - well - I would have them support my campaign :lol:
Any thoughts???

Interesting view and I do believe there is some truth to your statement.Though it may seem unfair to someone who just found the site, I do think people look at who backs who.

Hello Evangelist - sorry not trying to make it seem unfair. Simply trying to bring forth helpful information and tips so that newcomers and those who have created campaigns can (moving forward) meet their goals of getting their campaign funded.

I agree, that is probably true. Help and you will be helped-thats how the world works. Karma.

That's a good point, it makes sense. Can't just expect to receive without giving some out in return.

I'm not sure about the back others to get backed. I think it depends on who your backing. Larger companies rarely back anybody else. If its a small market guy maybe if they share the same interest in your project. I personally have backed several varied projects and didn't get backed in return on any of them - nor did they respond to questions I sent them.
