Kickstarter
can be a really strange place. Take our
current outing with The Book of Stephen.
On the first day of the campaign, we managed to attract several first
time backers and several high priced reward tiers were selected. I mean, Wow! What a way to kick off a campaign. But since then, we’ve only had a slow trickle
of new followers to the campaign and even fewer new backers. I’m no sure what happened, but I have faith
that it’s going to work out. I’m
continuing to shamelessly promote the campaign on social media, and I feel like
it’s getting a lot of positive response.
I have a feeling that the majority of our funding is going to come in
the final week of the campaign. The last
campaign we launched for the Freedom Fighter Comic book had a similar kind of backer
pattern. It wasn’t until the last 48
hours of the campaign that we managed to pull in the rest of the funds needed to
meet our goal. We even went over our goal
some, which was an outstanding feeling!
The
idea of canceling the campaign, revamping or even relaunching on IndieGoGo has
crossed my mind, but I think should see this one out. Meeting the goal on The Book of Stephen Kickstarter
is really all that I would like to do. However,
I do dream of the opportunity to announce some great stretch goals and surpass
our goal by hundreds, maybe even thousands!
It can still be done! There are
still 16 days in the campaign. We can
still do this!
If
you haven’t yet, please check out The Book of Stephen Kickstarter. If pledging isn’t something that you can do at
this time for whatever reason, I really would appreciate if you help spread the
word about this campaign. I think that
we have some great rewards and add ons, so hopefully you can find something that
suits you. If there’s something you’d
like to see, by all means reach out and tell me. Maybe I can make it happen.
