Members DoubleC Posted March 13, 2015 Members Report Posted March 13, 2015 I'm starting a kickstarter program to help go to Sheridan this year when my first option fell through. And and all help is appreciated so if you can toss in a couple bucks, thank you.

Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted March 14, 2015 Members Report Posted March 14, 2015 Don't know if Kick starter was the best choice. Indigogo, or gofundme may have been better choices. Good luck with the campaign. Quote You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted March 14, 2015 Contributing Member Report Posted March 14, 2015 Man, where have I been? Had no idea all these sites even existed. It's like "will work for food", only we all agree that there won't be any food. Or work. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted March 14, 2015 Members Report Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) Most people offer an incentive to contribute, for DoubleC she is offering custom keychains. Depending on the campaign it may be a product discount, the product once it is manufactured, etc. The different sites have different rules regarding the campaigns. If I remember right with Kickstarter, if the campaign fails to reach the goal even by a dollar, all of the money is returned to the people who contributed. With Indigogo you can keep what was donated , even if the overall campaign falls short. My friend ran a campaign on Kickstarter that raised $27,000 in the first days it was up for a new product. DoubleC,even though it is up and running, you still need to promote this heavily. Constant posts to social media sites like Facebook, Twitter,etc. You cannot let up if you want this to succeed. Too many enter their info, then just sit back and wait for the results. They end up not reaching their goals. Edited March 14, 2015 by BIGGUNDOCTOR Quote You laugh at me because I am different.

Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted March 14, 2015 Members Report Posted March 14, 2015 I do not see the links to your Etsy site, or anything else on you Kickstarter page. Quote You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.
Members leatherwytch Posted March 14, 2015 Members Report Posted March 14, 2015 Kickstarter is the better one for artistic things. Indiegogo is for all sorts of things but very hard to get anywhere. depending on what it is of course. Quote Creative people need maids. Http://www.LeatherWytch.com
Members DoubleC Posted March 15, 2015 Author Members Report Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Thanks Big Gun. I put them on the website and don't know why they aren't showing up here. I put Etsy, my gallery here and my FB business page anyway i'm adding them here and will try to figure out how to do it at the site again. https://www.etsy.com/shop/DoubleCCowgirl http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?app=gallery&user=27490 https://www.facebook.com/DoubleCCustom And especially thanks for the advice Edited March 15, 2015 by DoubleC Quote http://www.etsy.com/shop/DoubleCCowgirl
Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted March 15, 2015 Members Report Posted March 15, 2015 The website comes up as a 404 not found. Etsy link is fine. Facebook link is fine. Getting these on the Kickstarter page is a priority to generate more interest. Quote You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.
Members DoubleC Posted March 15, 2015 Author Members Report Posted March 15, 2015 That's odd because that website is my gallery on here, LOL. Maybe I have to focus on one picture to hyperlink the gallery. Thanks Biggundoctor. Cheryl Quote http://www.etsy.com/shop/DoubleCCowgirl
