How to get your Kickstarter Funded in 30 Days
crowdfunding checklist and promotion methods
1. No Short Campaigns - While fast and easy is human nature it often has the reverse effect in the world of crowdfunding. A 22 day campaign might sound good but if launched at the incorrect time. As the 20 day mark hits with only a few one dollar backers who are attempting to lock-in their potential rewards, serious backers will not have the confidence to lay down a serious investment in such a short lived project.
2. No Holidays - Never launch a Kickstarter project on or near a holiday. Not only do you fail to procure backers on that particular holiday, but pretty much the whole week surrounding it. Holidays are frantic periods where everyone is stretched for time and most online marketers who are not selling holiday specific and tangible goods take losses for a period of 4-5 days in total. Be very careful launching a crowdfunding project during a holiday that is not particularly related to that holiday
3. Do the Research - The reality is that there are very few unique projects. With a few hours work crowdfunding project creators should be able to find multiple successful and failed projects similar to their own. Creators should find those projects, see which ones failed and which succeeded. Determine what the reasons are for the failures and successes and amend their projects accordingly. There is no reason to re-invent the wheel when there is so much data available.
4. Is It Backable - Looking at the plethora of "fund my life" campaigns and other projects with no tangible rewards, one can only wonder what the project creator was thinking. Project creators should look at their own Kickstarters skeptically and ask themselves. Would I want to back this project. If the answer is no, go back to the drawing board and continue tweaking until they can honestly answer "yes, this is a project I would back". At present Kickstarter reports that 30% of project backers are repeat backers, this is a huge demographic and getting their money is getting harder and harder.
5. Pre-Launch The Kickstarter Project - Start your Facebook ads early and cheaply going for fanpage likes. Create up to 20 different ads to see which is performing best. A highly targeted and well-presented Facebook ad can achieve likes for less than 5 cents. It is recommended that project creators start building their audience 3 months in advance in order to ensure a powerful launch. The Kickstarter creator's goal should be to fund 20% of the project within the first 3 days. When other backers see the momentum they will quickly get in line.
