#Kickstarter 101: There is a stringent review process for new projects. Without it being approved, it can't be launched. Don't leave it until the last minute to build your page and submit for review - give it 2 weeks just in case 🔨

#Kickstarter 101: Tell your story: increasingly people ignore or are immune to sales pitches online. What people love to hear are stories. Video is great for conveying your tale 📽️

#Kickstarter 101: Allow 6-12 weeks before your campaign goes live to start promoting your game - use this time to create awareness and spark interest in your project ⚡

#Kickstarter 101: Your promotion doesn’t stop when you launch your project, nor does it stop when it ends. Think about how you can get more backers into your campaign and how it can act as an advertisement for a future retail launch 💡

#Kickstarter 101: Engage with your community: answer questions, be truthful and open, be engaging and inviting. This is far more powerful than a ‘like' 👍

#Kickstarter 101: ‘If you’ve told someone something once, you’ve not told them’ - making a single post of your Facebook page is not enough to reach your audience 📣 Find different ways of telling the same story. Don’t be afraid of repeating the same points.

#Kickstarter 101: Promotion should start before you launch your project - write a marketing plan and break it down into ‘Pre-,’ ‘During’ and ‘Post-' campaign to lay down your activities. Build this in a spreadsheet/calendar to easily track it and edit 📅

#Kickstarter 101: You will not receive 100% of the funds you generate. The platform and their card provider take around 8% of the final total in fees, and your project may be subject to VAT. Make sure you factor this into your costings.

Inspired by the #NoWrongPath stories today - thought I'd share my own!

🎲Mantic Games - toy soldiers!

🚗Pendragon Vehicle Management - fleet cars!

When a publisher who does multi-million dollar KS campaigns but has a bad reputation for rulebooks contacts me and wants to hire me for their next game as they’ve heard I’m the best....
That counts as a win right?

Yet another leading example from @CMONGames of a great Kickstarter campaign with #trudvanglegends. Consistently high quality and great value for money. The best at hybrid board game/miniatures #boardgames?
