Leathershop Fundraiser, asking for help

[Campleathergoods]

My tiny company has outgrown my tiny leather workspace

please help me in reaching my goal of converting my detached garage into a dedicated leatherwork space. I have started a Kickstarter fund to help in reaching my goal, any pledge would mean the world to me. Thank you fellow crafters! 

a preview link to the page, Hoping to launch on Friday the 16th.

I don't think this kind of appeal belongs in "Show Off." You might ask to have it re-posted in "Leatherwork Conversation."

Send some of that money my way, I can use it, too.

You'd probably get a much better response if you specified a reward and left out the part where you're trying to get a bigger shop for example start a kickstarter for wallets that you produce, show lots of pics of the product and then list 1 or 2 or 3 wallets depending on the contribution your backers pledge. Most people aren't going to pledge money to a kickstarter campaign unless they feel like they're getting something tangible out of it. The way you pitched it sounds more like a gofundme, just my humble opinion

I'm hoping this is a joke, because it feels like a scam.

if you look at the kickstarter page, I do have rewards. I do appreciate your opinion.

Moved as suggested.

I spent years building the shop I have............buying my tools and equipment and never would dare to ask fellow crafters to fund the building of any of it. Shame on you.
