Well this is my second kickstarter project. The first one was barely funded but I was happy as it was my first. I really had no clue what I was doing so that was me getting my feet wet. It was called Billet Dice. I did everything myself and met a ton of great people.

This time around formed a team. I hired a professional to do the video, graphic artist for logos and photographer pics. These are people I know and have a great reputation. We wanted to have a lot of fun with this project and I assure you we did. It took a lot more time to finish the page than any of use ever imagined. But I think the end project was worth it. Having it fund in less than five hours was the cherry on the sundae. What an amazing experience!

I am new to this wonderful forum and am excited to learn a lot from all of you! Have a wonderful day.

One of the things I really took to heart this time around was creating a buzz well before the project launched. I used Facebook mostly. I joined any group that related to my project. I did giveaways and just got to know the fine folks of those groups. I answered questions and sent out free prototypes to some choice members for reviews. I gave some away to people that had a good following on Youtube for video reviews. Yes it cost a lot of money upfront but I am sure that is why it funded so fast. I also priced the rewards as low as possible. I did away with early bird discounts because I believe Kickstarter is the early bird. I gave everyone a chance to pledge for the rewards at the same price. I did however offer early shipping rewards in limited quantities. I was able to do that because I ran extra prototypes. So far they seem to like that.

Actually, the forum could probably learn more from you, than you could from it.

Here, you have a product based upon something that already enjoys widespread familiarity across multiple generations. You combine that with a quality approach, a really well done project page that oozes visual interest, and you top it off with an audience from your previous successful Kickstarter and your ancillary crowd-building activities leading into the launch of your crowdfunding campaign.

It may come across to some as a miracle, but I suspect that it was anything but. Good planning, solid execution, excellent product. That's a recipe for success!

Wow. That's amazing. But you mention you did it with a full team and presumably a decent startup budget. How would you do it with zero budget? I've already badgered my friends and spammed a bunch of FB groups, and I already feel bad about it.
