Summary

Sixty-three percent of Kickstarter campaigns fail. Do this one thing, and you’ll be among the 37 percent who succeed.

The one thing is pre-launch. Ask any crowdfunding creator, and they will confirm that it is the key to success.

You will learn how to prepare for your first crowdfunding campaign and do a pre-launch with a minimal budget by using personal efforts and delegating some work to others.

This audiobook is for Kickstarter newbies and first-time creators. It will teach and show you how to collect potential backers early, in advance, and how to plan a Kickstarter campaign from start to finish with the aim of ensuring that you get fully funded.

You will understand the basics of crowdfunding, the main differences between the two most popular reward-based crowdfunding platforms: Kickstarter and Indiegogo, how to turn your idea, passion, or skill into a product, and how to evaluate if there’s a market demand for it.

The core part of this book is about preparation for the crowdfunding campaign:

  • How to set crowdfunding goals and why it is important to set a low goal
  • How to analyze similar campaigns
  • How to define your target audience
  • How to gather your crowd using free methods
  • How to create a landing page that turns visitors into subscribers
  • What are the best tools to build landing pages
  • How to integrate your landing page with your mailing list
  • How to “warm up” leads with automated email sequence
  • How to engage your audience
  • How to run Facebook Ads to collect leads
  • How to use “smoke testing” method to see if someone buys your product
  • What is a pre-launch funnel and what stages it has
  • Conversion rates that you can expect
  • How to do media and influencer outreach
  • How to submit your video to viral video publishers

You will also learn and be exposed to best practices when it comes to selecting attractive project images, how to create a title that sells, how to build engaging project video, and how to brainstorm ideas for your rewards.

Finally, the book explains how to launch and manage a Kickstarter campaign, when it’s live:

  • Reasons why project launch timing is important
  • The steps you need to do during the launch day
  • Preparation for refusing offers
  • Communication with backers (project updates and direct messages)
  • Stretching goals
  • Get traffic from Kickstarter (“Projects we love,” trending, popularity rankings)
  • Last days of your project
  • Wrap-up and action plan

Great Book to Know Everything about Kickstarter

Would rate this as uptodate and comprehensive guide for Launching your Concept in Kickstarter. Its approach right from Planning for Pre Launch , Forecasting the Challenges and plan for actions, Strategies and methods to reach various agencies throws in a lot of option to explore. Gives me good confidence to plan for my Launch.

Its very helpful with a lot of references. As i was not able to note this when i was hearing during my daily travel, i ordered a physical copy as well and re-reading the book now.
