Woke up this morning to find that FFF is 25% funded on Kickstarter!

I’m a quater of the way there!

18 days to go and I am thinking about new ways to approach people to remind them about my project. I really don’t want to annoy potential backers by nagging but must get the word out. Time is ticking!

I also found on my Kickstarter message board someone trying to get my business: A lot of very flattering talk leading to offer of help for my website…… if they think my project is THAT exciting I want to see the colour of their money before they expect me to consider them!

I suppose new businesses are ripe for the picking and this is an arena in which to show off one’s innocence.

I also found this morning that the message I receieved from a potential backer yesterday, one with a slightly dubious name, had been deleted. Obviously not the kind of backer I am looking for!!

This is the problem with my project title I think – can be largely misconstrued if you don’t know what it is about!

I don’t expect him to be pledging £5 either…

19 days to go….

Only 460 people to pledge £5 to get to my target……..

but where to find them?

I fear I am not Tweeting enough

How much is too much?

When do people tip over from thinking ‘ooh that sounds interesting I will have a look at that and help by pledging £5 to make it happen’

into

‘if I hear her talking about that again I’ll, I’ll explode!’

As with all my work, I am walking a fine, tightrope line between nice and nasty.

(it is a fabulous project – please help me to fund it…….. http://kck.st/1a4XpKb……. THANK YOU !)

26 days to go.

£140 pledged

£2860 worth of pledges to find…..

4% of money raised

A massive thank you to everyone who has pledged money to help make FFF so far!

Let NO ONE tell you that crowdfunding is an easy ride!

I think some people have the idea that you just load your project onto your chosen magical site (FFF is on Kickstarter at: http://kck.st/1a4XpKb, other platforms are available) and then the pledges just roll in. Er no.

This is FULL ON.

I have

a) e mailed everyone I know

b) e mailed every one I have ever spoken to about the project

c) tweeted my little heart out on @FFF_21C

d) signed up to do a Pecha Kucha night (though terrified of public speaking)

e) messaged everyone on Linked In

f) tweeted a bit more on @sophiecullinan

g) you are reading this one…

h) signed up to appropriate forums for people who my be interested (how do I find people I don’t actually know who would LOVE this project?!)

i) started facebook page (anyone with top tips for this one as it REALLY confuses me on there)

I’m going to stop there because I think you get the point.

Anyway suffice to say that I have had LOTS of interesting conversations with people and am even more excited about this project than before!

There is just the little matter of finding enough people to make up the rest of the pledges.

(a minimum of 572 people of a fiver each……)

EASY PEASY!
