Crazy that this campaign caught on so much. Did you guys expect it to raise so much?

It's crazy! The craziest part in my opinion though, is that he already posted this project, but it didn't succeed. The first time he created his project under the title "The Coolest: Cooler with Blender, Music and So Much More" with a goal of $125,000 and it got up to $100,000 some. Then about 8 months later he retries his luck with "COOLEST COOLER: 21st Century Cooler that's Actually Cooler". Even the picture of his newer project looks better!

It's amazing that he made $13 million dollars, even though he only asked for $50,000 the second time around! It truly shows that a few changes will definitely help with your project! Anyone who wants their project to thrive should use his project differences as an example. His new video had a much better emotional feel to it than his last video. The title was different, the picture looked better, everything looked better!

Think about it for a second, it was around 8-9 months that he didn't do anything. What would that give him enough time to do? Perhaps get a strong fan base before his project went live? Enough time to really plan everything out? Definitely! I hope that this encourages people to make whatever their great idea is into a project that helps their dreams come true!
