How To Raise $100,000 On Kickstarter

I've launched two highly successful Kickstarter campaigns, each raising around $100k. I'm here to tell you how you can do it too.

Thanks for watching! Hope you learned a ton.

thomas: “you don’t really have to have much of a demo as long as you have polished graphics”
also thomas: “I had worked on pinstripe for four years when I launched the kickstarter"

I love learning from people that have actually "done stuff" before... This knowledge is invaluable... Thank you very much man.

As an aspiring entrepreneur and someone in the early stages of constructing my first Kickstarter campaign, I found this information to be very helpful. "If you want people to open up their wallets, you have to open up your heart to them."...Love this, thanks again for the insight, Thomas!

I stumbled upon your channel and this video quite by accident and was immediately hooked within the first 30 seconds. I appreciate the personal touch that you put into this, it comes across with a degree of sincerity that I believe to be hard to find in the past decade. Many channels opt for a high-energy approach that draws attention away from their main purpose, an oversight, to which, you clearly did not fall prey.

Man, thanks for sharing your experience. It's so great to find content like this!! Your story is so inspiring. We are currently working on our campaign, and your "secrets" are just on the point.

Awesome quote... “if you want people to open up their wallets, you should open up your heart.... wonderful! Very creative

Just started getting into game development. I know this video is old, but you are an amazing mentor.

I'm about to do an kickstarter campaign for my new game, so I do this research you talked about right now and your video was really helpfull even when most of these things are obvious its hard to really accept them as hard work and getting to think about them more than I thought at the start I would need to. So thanks for this video it helped me out :D

[markgburke]

Thanks Thomas for your honest and enjoyable video! I picked up Pinstripe after watching a few videos about game development and was immediately stuck by the fantastic artistry and captivating story telling. I can't wait to finish it. Keep it up!

[jeffreymichael]

Dude the best video I've seen and read so far about being an entrepreneur. My heart ❤ was just energized. Full steam ahead. WOW

[galbutler]

Thank you!

Reaching out to other campaigns, what a brilliant idea! Just preparing for my 3rd KickStarter campaign, still one month to launch and it is already stressful. I am doing so much research as well at the moment, even though I have done it twice successfully. But never went over 10k. This video is amazing thank you so much!

[cdabim]

Thanks for sharing your journey, Thomas. I feel inspired and enlightened. I am also working on a campaign that has taken me 9 years and has yet to begin because I have no idea how to do it. You bring light from darkness, keep it up!!!

[KeyboardKrieger]

I really think you are a quite unsympathic guy, I wouldn't drink a beer with. But lots of your videos, including this, are gold. And it's nice that you share this knowledge with us.
I appreciate that you found a way to financial success through the gaming industry and help others on their way. Thumbs up for that.

[ravkenvega]

Believe it or not, I consider most of your videos as an inspirational video. Thank you for making this kind of videos.👍

[GameDesignverse]

First of all thanks for this video and thanks for all the supportive videos that you have shared that really were closed to the heart and almost every topic was close to heart. Thank you Thomas... Thanks a lot.

You are in my first steps of research for several ideas I have for Kickstarter projects. I have so many questions as to how it works and how do you come up with the number you need, and what happens when you get greater support that what you asked for? how much does kickstarter keep and wow I love the animation you created that I saw in your video!. I love you concern to help others and great strategies to get others to promote you! I subscribed and liked you video and will be looking for more. PS you are never to old to see your dreams some to pass, I have been working on mine for over 50 years and domestic violence prevented me for finishing until now. Those years I just created and adjusted the vision! Now it is time to pull it all together!

[PinguinoLinguino]

Thanks for this video! I've also been struggling with how much personal story to include in my campaign video - your advice helped me make my decision! Great content here.
