Key Insights and Takeaways from My Kickstarter Journey

on YouTube ↗49m

" summary

Raised £137,000 from 3,159 backers while using Kickstarter as marketing not just funding, with 51,000 TikTok followers but only 1,800 email signups—email converts best; preview page had 1,200 followers and followers convert ~20–25% overall and 10–15% on day one; used BackerKit pledge manager to capture 1,200 survey responses and sell post‑campaign add‑ons; mistakes include unclear key art, too many/confusing reward tiers and an unnecessary exclusive Discord channel; early‑bird pricing and limited quantity tiers lift average pledge to £43 and hidden stretch goals let campaign pivot.
