This team is defying the odds!

Straight out of college, they raised $82,207 with their first Kickstarter campaign, despite having ZERO social media followers.

Then, they went on to raise $314,54 with their second Kickstarter campaign, even though they only had a 2 week pre-launch period.

Believe it or not, but they hit their goal in the first 2.5 hours!

On this podcast episode, I talked with one of the team members behind the Maslow CNC and Makesmith CNC project, Tom Beckett. Tom and his cofounders Bar Smith and Hannah Teagle are responsible for these crowdfunding success stories.

Congrats to those guys!

I saw the message about transcripts. I'd gladly pay for this episode (and others) to be transcripted...I don't mind at all if it helps out.

Hello Hyperstarter,
I am most likely going to use your site. I will be done with the REWARDS portion in a day or so. Do you have any advise timing the launch now being Dec. 21 and the Holidays are in?
Thank you,

This is so incredibly useful. Was there ever a transcript for this anywhere?

To add to this, I just finished writing about the 11 strategies to implement to keep people engaged, get more visitors, convert more backers and get existing backers to increase their contribution to your campaign.

It really a list of what you can do every single day for the next 30-60 days of your campaign so that you can really hit the ball out of the park for your project. Each tactic has different levels of difficulty, but be assured that this is what successful campaigns that you see out there on Indiegogo and Kickstarter are putting in the time and effort to do.

Here's the list!

1. Directly message backers after they back your project
2. Launch advertising
3. Launch a referral campaign
4. Update your crowdfunding campaign page
5. Outreach for cross-promotions
6. Outreach to people who are likely to cover your project
7. Run a Kickstarter Live /Reddit AMA/Facebook Live session
8. Pay for backer-focused promotions
9. Release stretch goals
10. Create upsells and add-ons
11. Streamline your rewards
