Kickstarter is a place where creators and believers come together - Celebrate the community, don’t take advantage of it.

Insight #2
Unless you have an unwavering commitment to see your campaign through, you owe it
to your community never to start.

Insight #3
Plan accordingly & treat your campaign like a business - it’s always wise to follow the mantra
of under-promising and over-delivering.

Insight #4
Respect the ethos of the community, and be open to sharing what you know -
it’s hardly a zero sum game.

Insight #6
Be strategic about your funding target, and crystal clear to your backers about what
you’re providing them how it correlates to the pledge level pricing.

Insight #8
If you choose to reward your backers, make it tangible, worthwhile and relevant to
the campaign - and let it be a natural outflow of the project completion.

can turn a single project into a lasting business.

Insight #10
“As you build your project, take your time! The average successfully funded creator spends nearly two weeks tweaking their
project before launching. A thoughtful and methodical approach can pay off.”
