  • I'm about share to share a few to-do items before launching a Kickstarter or crowdfunding campaign. Many of these are easy to do, but costly to avoid.

    Thanks Sal!
    1. Website / landing page
    2. Build email list
    3. Provide value on content posted on SNS
    4. Costs - best and worst case projections
    5. KS slump - stagnation in the middle of ks period (tip: podcasts, radio shows, blog shoutouts)

    This not only gave me some good concentration points for the campaign, but even made me think about ways to improve our overall marketing and product development.

    I think there is a lot to be said about the mindset you have going into a crowdfunding campaign. Resilience, the willingness and ability to adapt, and an unwavering belief in the success of he project are super important. Half way through our campaign we had only raised about 6,000 out of 45,000. We decided to create a new video with some major changes and redoubled our campaigning efforts reaching out to schools to do presentations and radio shows that might get us some publicity. Its possible to come back!

    This is your 3rd video that I have watched. They all have been very informative and have varying content that's unique and helpful. I have my very first children's book that is now up on Amazon in soft back, hard back, kindle and a COLORING BOOK. However, I have not officially launched my book. I am watching all of the educational videos I can before putting together a kickstarter fundraiser. My book is called, "Two Girls in Pajamas For Their Mama's". Thanks again Salvador.

    Great video, thank you! I'm happy to say we have 1-4 already in the works, and I'm familiar with "the slump" from coaching program launches in my (other business) -- that can really mess with your mind, so thanks for the warning! What do you think would help with that? longer lead time/shorter campaign? Bonus incentives? (Thank you!!)

    I have found that with most crowdfunding campaigns many people are not in the poor section of the business building part. Everyone has ideas but when it comes to a homeless person pushing a cart they are left out? Either we all work together or maybe the state government will step in and shutdown crowdfunding

    Hi Salvador. I have watched over 5 of your videos in a row today! They are well done, easy to follow, and encouraging. Question- can you touch on non profit organizations or author doing a Kickstarter for non profit. My donors will buy anything to help feed/educate the children we work with in TZ. However I want to take an already published book of mine, translate into Swahili and get it into over 5,000 schools in Tanzania. I have done testing, seminars, documentation on people that have read the book and what they learned , how it changed their life. They always say “ Please translate it into Swahili”. This costs money. I could just go to the donors and ask for it but I need to get out of my non profit bubble of peeps. Is a Kickstarter a good direction?

    I am just starting to learn about kick starter. I have a web tool for automotive enthusiasts and I am just getting the prototype online for everyone to see and use. It is a web site that is car brand and model specific and is designed to combine the roll of forums and social media as a tool for classic and performance car owners to improve their cars. I have watched a couple of your videos and just wondered if there is a good how to manual I can download or if you have any advice for me?
