Lisa, I see this video is old, but seems spot on still. I have been doing a lot of research and plan to do a pre-marketing phase before I start the actual kickstarter so that I can gear social in that direction, like "this is what i've been up to lately". . and then just start really sharing and posting and ramp up. I also plan to put adds on social for the kickstarter once it starts as well as have a bunch of rewards - I do have a couple of questions, are you consulting? Or.. was this just a random video? Thanks, J
Just subscribed! :) I love crowdfunding for books, so I was super interested in this video. I crowdfunded 2 books and a stuffed animal series, and I've also made UA-cam videos about crowdfunding! We should definitely be friends here, lol. All your advice is spot on!! :) There NEEDS to be a promotional strategy -- nothing in this world sells itself, haha
Yay! Preaching to the choir over here! Without a strategy behind your work, it'll go unnoticed. Too many authors think if they can rely on the traffic on Kickstarter (hah!) which is like saying publishing your book on Amazon will garner you sales because there's so much traffic on it.

Thanks Lisa for the useful info. I am planning for a crowdfunding in the future but it is not actuallt a "book" but a comic instead. Is it the same?
Comics have a huge audience on Kickstarter! Be sure to head to the Comics category and back a few campaigns to see how it works.
Do you know about teacher sets?

Thank you Lisa your info is spot on!
Thanks for the info, not raising money to write a book, but I think these tips are probably universal.
Yes, unfortunately a lot of creators make these mistakes
