I've been busting my butt promoting this, and it seems to have paid off. Though I'd really like to hit some stretch goals, and I'm running out if promotion ideas. I've done some outreach to blogs but been pretty much ignored. Most of my backers have come from my existing social media followers, with a few from kickstarter itself and one or two from some advertising I've been doing.

I think I've gotten this far mostly by setting modest goals and by taking every chance I've been able to come up with to push it, short of being an outright spammer.

Any feedback on the campaign is totally welcome, as are any questions about it.

Congrats on reaching your fundraising goal!! Where have you been advertising and what was the cost of acquisition of the one pledge/the amount they pledged?

I bought paid advertising on two sites that are pretty specific to my target market (The Castaways doll forum and Furaffinity) and I'm thinking of taking out a google adwords campaign next week to push through the slump that seems to turn up in the middle of projects. So far that's cost me $45. Targeted small group ads are great! Though I've also committed about $150 worth of work/product towards a giveaway drawing I've been running where everyone who shares the link on social media of some kind gets a ticket, which also seems to be bringing in pretty good results.

Haven't done a specific breakdown of pledges/advertising dollars yet, but I know it's looking pretty good.

Though I know most of my backers so far have come from my own social media posts, from an audience I already had, with a handful finding it on kickstarter itself.
