What is a pre-launch Kickstarter?
As a creator you can now set-up a pre-launch page for your project, to share the vital information necessary to start building hype for your campaign and present a direct call-to-action for potential backers to be notified when your project has launched.
How long does Kickstarter pre-launch take?
It’s also worth noting that pre-launch pages are live for up to 6 months (or longer on Kickstarter), meaning you’ll have a fair chunk of time to bring in an audience.
Can I sell my product on Kickstarter?
A Kickstarter campaign can help you turn your business idea into a reality, but you still need to sell the concept in order to win over backers. It turns out your job gets a lot easier when you actually go through the motions of selling your products first, before you launch your crowdfunding campaign.
How do you get people on Kickstarter?
Spread this out over backer updates, emails, and on all your social platforms. Social media will be a crucial component of promotion, and you’ll need to be consistent in your use of it. Utilize the platform (or platforms) where you’ve already taken time to build your audience, and where your supporters already are.
Do Facebook ads work for Kickstarter?
Kickstarter does not allow you to install a Facebook Pixel, but IndieGoGo does. A Facebook Pixel is required for Facebook to help you improve your ad performance. This means you’ll need to track most of your ad performance using Google Analytics and UTM parameters instead.
How do you sell a Kickstarter pledge?
You’d just have to draw up an agreement thru the marketplace and email of payment terms and delivery terms. You can even offer the ability to do extras and just fill out the pledge manager for them and gave it shipped directly to them.
How do I create a product on Kickstarter?
Start with your personal community
