Believe it or not, the LARGEST individual donation amounts have come from people I've never met in person but am acquainted with on social media... save one... the largest donation was from a connection of a connection. One big tip... that takes a lot of time... but worth it... one-on-one Facebook Messaging.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge here. I aimed high for my first kickstarter for my colouring book as I really had nothing but time to lose. I didn't get funded and I am now preparing to launch again asking for a more humble amount to get the ball rolling. I managed to raise half of what my new goal is in the last campaign. So I'm hoping this will get funded. Most of my backers were known to me as you say too.

Hi Salvador, thank you for very helpful video. I'm preparing a campaign (my 1st KS campaign) for my board game next November. I have not many friends and my family can't actually help a lot. I have some PR connections and a pool of creative media/game related students (I'm head of a Game Art/Animation department in an international colllege. Do you think that I can rely on (paid) soclal media advertisement, influencers and community building through my blog (starting this month) to build an initial core supporters cohort ? Thank you very much !

Great Info Salvador,
I got a question, On the area of buying advertising during the crowdfund.
Would it be prudent to run a campaign to raise funds for advertising towards your main campaign, then run the main campaign.
Would this be tapping the well of supporters to many times or would one explain what the first fundraise would be used for.

Congrats on the success stories! Wish me luck on my campaign

Very useful content. Thanks.
We have a really unusual boardgame, the board lays out as you play, literaly billions of possibilities.
The game comes on an app, trying to discover words from their meanings.
This can be played in lots of languages and various levels of difficulty.
We will need some help and guidance with the promotion and kickstarter campaign.
The app is built and the game is ready to produce, we will initally plan to launch in the UK and USA
This is our next step.
A big boardgame in a little box.

How would one know what platform to use if it could fall into a few of them

Great source of information. Thanks! I've been reviewing crowdfunding campaigns for a while now and I totally agree with the multi-tiered approach you discussed here. :) Can't wait for more!

Salvador, thank you for sharing, very helpful video. I need to do a campaign to get my book published.

Hi Salvador, thanks for the video. The PR angle seems to have the greatest ROI, as it may cost very little, yet have an exponential impact. I'd love to hear more specific approaches to making this happen (really, at the tactical level).

[collettenebeker]

Thank you for sharing this video. I think that it is super important to reach out in multiple ways to a variety of audiences. This helped me a lot. How do you keep the momentum going throughout your campaign?

[MaryellenDuchesne]

YES DUNKINS.!!! I'm from MA....thanks for the tips. Great job!

[TheButchBerryCompany]

Salvador, I did all that and only got $250 of $25k that I asked for, so there must be more to it. Where can I get that information?

[mehdidoor]

hey buddy, we have a innovative consumer product(we have done the prototype). we've got interest from VC's. we don't know to go with them or do the crowdfunding first. but many people says you may bread the fundraising crowdfunding history record with our hardware product.

Can I raise funds in Budapest Hungary?

[GooseTheGameKnight]

I created a science show for children featuring a puppet host and I'd like to take it to YouTube but I don't want to skimp on production values how do I get a show started 🤔

[rkfsearchresults]

With Indiegogo supporting FB Pixels and Kickstarter not, how much of a deal breaker that is for Kickstarter?
