30 People to Promote Your Kickstarter or Indiegogo Campaign to on Twitter

Published by Salvador Briggman. Find him on Twitter.

Since I received a lot of positive feedback from my last article, 21 places to promote your kickstarter campaign, I decided to draw up a list of some of the awesome people involved in the crowdfunding industry and who are some of the biggest Kickstarter/Indiegogo supporters. Feel free to reach out to them when you are looking to promote your campaign.

Please keep in mind, that you should always put yourself in the shoes of the other person when you are promoting your campaign. The next time you are going to put your self-interest first, stop, think about the interests guiding the person you are attempting to persuade, and then work from their interests back to yours. I really recommend the bestselling book How To Win Friends and Influence People. You can probably find it somewhere online for free if you look hard enough.

I talked a lot about this in 5 Kickstarter Mistakes You Should Avoid. Remember, no one likes spamming! Use twitter as a starting point to establish a relationship and then follow up with an email or call. After you’ve finished with this list, check out my new article, Who’s in the Crowdfunding Community for a huge list of supporters, service providers, bloggers, and more that are interested in crowdfunding.

  Hi Robert, would like to draw your attention to crowd fund an event in Singapore. Check out http://igg.me/at/woof-yoga
  - Patrick Persijn
    
    Give to our campaign a small donation(1-5EUR) and we do the favour back to your campaign too,
    since we arranged already bigger money from sponsors for our project.
    The only problem is, that we need the merchant account to open, to receive those funds.
    You also can take contact with us, in the comment section, if you like to discuss this idea or have even a better idea.
    Our campaign:

  Hey Guys! Also wanted to let you know about our recently launched website: http://www.crowdfundingpr.org for ANOTHER free press release service. Submit to both to double the impact ;).
Dips Subba

Thank you so much for this list. So very helpful as we are looking at ways to crowdfund an event that will benefit SPCA Singapore as well as break a world record.
- CrowdCrux
  
  Hi Dips- Of course! Sounds like an interesting event. Crowdfunding for events is definitely an emerging niche. Hope it goes well.

Great List. For those interested, some additional tips for Crowdfunding Success can be found in this article from last week: http://pitch.pe/103A5VE

  Hi Christian- Thanks for sharing the article. Agree with most of them except “getting as much feedback.” It’s important the feedback be from authoritative sources. I like the focusing on “use cases” tip to explain to potential backers how the product would work.

Thank you so much for all the great tips! This is the 4th article I’ve read on here tonight. You are awesome for all of the info which you share with us! I am currently in re-launch mode of an unsuccessfully funded campaign. I think the biggest problem was not enough exposure, so I will definitely be incorporating these tips with some of my old strategies.

Hopefully the 2nd time around I could have a fully funded project, which would be awesome because I’ll be graduating next month. My project goes live at the end of the week! #EXCITED
- CrowdCrux
  
  Definitely. Glad you benefit from the articles. Knowing that makes me want to jump out of bed in the morning! Shoot me an email with the link. If you’d like to share any of the things you’ve learned from the first campaign, I’d love to hear: [email protected] – Just remind me in the email.

YOU ARE GREAT MATE! Seriously, I just launched my Kickstarter campaign, and I fond your blog and your pool of resources/information exceptionally helpful!

I worked so hard for it, the idea is incredibly unique and a lot of people are interested, but I just can’t seem to get it to really catch on. I’m thinking my delivery of the idea was vague? Anyway! THANKS AGAIN! ^_^ I’ll email this to you too. XD

Christina
- CrowdCrux
  
  :D! Thanks! I have less experience with rallying action for the kind of donation-based campaigns that usually appear on GoFundMe. It’s definitely a lot harder, so I give you Kudos for going for it.
  
  As a recommendation, I would recommend crafting more compelling rewards. $25 for a thank you letter – people would likely go for this only if they knew you or/and liked you or really resonated with your story. Even then, I personally think you should offer more value for $25. Even with bake sales you will get a cupcake or food for a $5-10 donation.
CoolerKickstarter

So far the best site for tips! Thank you for not just writting about get press release, etc as its not that easy. All tips are great, I wish I have founded you before launching my project 🙂 Now we are in a run, but trying to follow the steps and tips you are providing here!

RoomShare Webseries

I just want to thank you for this blog. I am currently going through the wilderness that is crowdfunding. I have also read “How to win friends” awhile back and your writing style shows you have read it, probably many times. I read your “21 places..” & “30 people..” recently, and I wish I would have came across this blog pre-launch. We are 2 days in, and now I am revamping my campaign a bit. Thanks again!
- CrowdCrux
  
  Definitely :). Yes, it’s one of my favorite books. Definitely a timeless classic. Let me know if your re-vamp has a positive effect on your campaign and keep me updated as you progress towards your goal.
  - RoomShare Webseries
    
    Will do. right now I am 1 week in with 16 of our goal but the the past 3 days with no change. Given your profound knowledge on the subject, I would love for you to take a look and offer any insight in ways to improve my strategy. provided you have time as I know you are busy. would you mind if I sent you a link?
    - CrowdCrux
      
      What’s the link? I won’t be able to offer an in-depth critique, but perhaps I can point you in the right direction.

Wow! I’m so glad I ran across this blog during my research! I’m launching my first KickStarter on Indiegogo this month and the information I’m finding here is absolutely amazing!

There’s a lot of stuff that I never even thought about for my campaign, so I think I’ll be reading this blog all day to see what else I can do in order to make my first campaign a success (for starters, I just added all of these contacts to my Twitter account)! Now on to the next step!

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. Vital information for us newbies!

Btw, the KickStarter I’m working on is for a comic series based on sci-fi fantasy novel I have selling on Amazon.com and the iTunes Store.

I’m still working on the campaign (and adding all of these wonderful tips to it!) , but anyone interested to know more about me and why I’ve decided on this KickStarter can check out my YouTube video entitled: “Just Create! Discovering Yourself Before You Die”

  Awesome! I look forward to the re-launch. If you’re interested in some free promotion, I’m willing to do some twitter promotion for new users on our new website (http://www.pitchfuse.com). You can use it to gather followers pre-launch, get feedback, create giveaways, and we’re working to drive traffic to these campaigns :).

Hello Everyone, am working on a 45 minutes short film on the topic of Skin lightening/Bleaching. Am interested in getting your backing for this project on indiegogo. The project is titled “Bleached Beauty – Truth about Skin Lightening” on indiegogo http://igg.me/p/815414/twtr/7857928 .

Launching a campaign on Kickstarter is so intimidating. Even though I have a solid social network on Facebook and Twitter, it’s very hard to strategize how to approach people for money – especially friends and family.

Really cool articles. I was looking for this info all over the web and couldn’t find it. I had one campaign on kickstarter before but it failed so i decided to learn some more about promotion and marketing . Firstly I found your post about Getting Media coverage for your campaign , I found it really useful and then I literally read all your articles haha. You give real advise that works and not useless stuff like step1: figure out with your product. step2 :raise a lot of money. step3: live happy . what most blogs do…. Launching my new project in a month or two …we’ll see how different it’ll be from my first project …
siteChisel

This is super helpful for sure! My business partner and I just launched our campaign, not to gather funding, but rather to build a customer base. We have previously received a capital injection from a family member to get this thing off the ground so rather than go for funding directly, we figured we would switch the game up a bit and offer the service itself to funders on Indiegogo.

Right now we’re not live, but we’re hoping to be ready by the time the campaign is over so people aren’t waiting forever.

I keep seeing CrowdCrux everywhere I search so it makes sense to start posting to each place I find it since you have such a strong backing!

Our Indiegogo campaign can be found here: http://igg.me/at/siteChisel

We’re targeting small businesses that don’t have an online presence to help them extend their reach!

Crowd funding is a very unique way to raise funds for your projects, and very
different from seeking finances through more traditional methods.
Equity Crowd funding is the collective effort of individuals to support efforts initiated by other people or organizations through the provision of finance in the form of equity.

Last year I was diagnosed with Graves Disease,
after five years of supposedly unrelated health problems, and while I
was happy and relieved to finally get a diagnosis, the medications
(methimazole – for my thyroid – and propranolol – to help slow down my
tachycardia) cause more problems than they solve. (On a side note, I
would appreciate any natural recommendations; I’m losing my hair and my
liver and heart are not tolerating the methimazole well.) Around that
time, I also took up a second job tutoring to make ends meet, leaving me
with even less time than I had before to write.

I would
appreciate any support to help reach my goal of becoming a professional
writer, no amount is too small. I would love to be able to raise enough
money to quit my second job for a few months or more in order to set
aside time for righting while still being able to get by. I would be so
grateful, and thank you for taking the time to read this.

All the Best,

“Handle With Care”

Leave her alone
The excitement stirs her,
unsettles the calm of her soul and haunts it
All her days, she hides
behind her hair
She observes the motions to life, and
disconnects
the images inside
forgetting places
Cradle her
She is full of glass, and
the eyes of the world may break her

– A. H. Sewell ©2015

“You’ll be fine. It’s just another ending, sweetheart.”

Is it, now
Just
A something
A nothing
A dead and one-time-only thing
Is it just
A thing
Is it me, or is it you
Is it blonde, is it witty
Does it wrap its legs around you
Is it waiting in your bedroom
And who is fine
Is it just another ending
Another coda
Another one-more-time
Stolen
Ending
Is it my sweet heart
Ending
Will you be fine
My sweetheart

Let’s get Classygentlemangaming off the ground!

link is here!!! http://kck.st/1vw7lKJ

Ever thought about the guy or girl who has nothing but wants share his idea’s with the world, well your about to meet/read about one ….

My name is Robert Daffern, I’m 21 and from a little town called Cannock I work as a self employed water engineer, clocking in a average day of 14 hours for £80 a day. My day includes getting up at 4 in the morning making the lovely 139 mile drive to London or similar distanced area most days.

This has left me thinking what am I doing! I have college and uni degrees in public services and policing, why am I doing this, then I look at the lack of jobs in the police service and crack on with my day like a good soldier …

This has lead me becoming fed up with life not to the point of harm or anything but a serious life change is needed, I racked my brains out trying to get out of the rut life has seamed to moulded me into and then being the individual that I am, I started forming a idea then that idea become a plan and now that plan has somehow formed in to this very large document you are reading, (seriously why aren’t you not watching the video!).

MY PLAN (Classygentlemangaming)

Well it’s simple we kill the batman!

I want to create a YouTube channel filled with let’s plays of a wide variety of games, naturally this will include walkthrough’s and reviews and impressions, but that’s not all! You know what I haven’t seen yet on YouTube subscribers voting on what they want to watch? seriously it’s easy to do a straw poll. Each week or month depending on the series they shall be a link to a straw poll chart where viewers and subs shall vote on the games they want to see, and you guessed it yours truly will tot up the replies and act accordingly.

Link the channel to twitch!

For cheeky impressions of new games that the community can check out and comment on, this is where the give-away’s will eventually take place such as games, multilayer codes to play with me and even further down the line consoles and festival tickets! once again the community shall decide on the prizes.

Meet and greats with no charges for groups at different locations, you know what I don’t get YouTubers that charge to go see them, you’re paying them and they want more? I want to give back as much time as I can so fans of the channel can see me have a drink maybe do something fun?

Come on ten G! what is the price tag for?

I know it looks a lot, a little community magic though and it’s easy done but I digress, as of now I have a crappy laptop and a I-phone not the best for YouTube spectaculars … So you guessed it, it’s time to tec up! I have the know how to cut, edit and put fancy jingles into vids, I just haven’t got anything to put my creativity to good use, so the money shall go to a top ranged pc, streaming kits, software, green screen and kits, consoles and silly items to add content to the channel as well as this the little money I have left will allow me to get a few days off work and get the ball rolling and have a good surplus of vids so even if I’m at work ill or on a very bloody rare holiday the community shall not miss anything.

Content you shall get,

I was thinking about 6 to 8 vids a day, now I know what your thinking why that number? or if you know the struggles of YouTube DAYMMMM that’s a lot of vid’s, but the homework that I have done for the last few months have bore fruit. This is the mid maxing that you want to achieve for best view to subscriber ratio, only God knows why … no there is a really extravagant and plausible explanation that boffin’s have come up to this but this document has gone on long enough (WATCH THE BLOODY VIDEO!!!)

So that’s it,

It’s basically make a YouTube channel,

make a twitch,

build a community

and slowly pays you guys back

Risks and challenges

Well you’ll never hear me lie that’s for sure, but when I say this is minimal risk I mean it, it’s a YouTube channel, that you the viewer dictates, you have obviously like the words that come out of my face enough to make a donation so as long as you watch it, how can you personally lose?, however some challenges that I would need to overcome is finding that jump from side job to full time job that’s going to be tricky in it’s self.

Another issue would be a your concerns of the channel never taking off, if this concerns you, there is a way you could assist in that as well, think about it, you have paid me to make videos for you and your not going to watch them … no of course not! Now I’m not expecting anybody to handover 10 G’s and then walk away it’s going to take a lots and lots of little iddy biddy pledges to make this happen, now what a way to start a channel! instant people all viewing the channel they have made and of course you want to see the channel you have helped create grow and you will share so that’s the best way of ensuring that it survives other than what i would be doing anyway and that sharing it myself.

Hi!
Thank you, for all the information I found very helpful in the three blogs I read on your site. The question I have is, can I use these tips for my campaign I want to start on fundly or gofundme to raise money for the company I started but need funds to launch due to lost of job and can’t afford school no more after receiving my associate degree? Pushing toward the American Dreams. Any advice would help. Thanks.

I am at the very beginning of starting up my Indiegogo campaign and I can read all over the Internet that I have still so much to prepare for to get my project out their. The challenge for me is to start-up a trustworthy team, but the people I trust dot have any knowledge of my branch and I am not prepared to give this change to some developers that I have to hire for my project (a stranger of course). Any tips for pulling this off solo?

That looks like something I would enjoy. So many projects so little time! Here is a Facebook method for getting targeted traffic to your project, I mean free free. Might be worth taking a look at. http://crowdmonsters.com/promote_kickstarter_project_on_facebook/ Hard to say how many fans became backers, but we did get a lot of fans…

I thought it looked great, but I’m a Kickstarter junkie 0_0 – Hope it gets funded, here is a Google/Facebook technique that has worked well for us, hopefully it will for you too. http://crowdmonsters.com/getting-your-kickstarter-backed-with-traffic-from-google/ We saw a lot of traffic, likes and shares. I can’t say how many became backers but we def created buzz.

Your suggested Twitter users all look incredibly helpful and our now being followed by us. If you have the time we would greatly appreciate it if you could look at our kickstater and give us you opinion and pointers (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/laughinglizardgames/its-just-a-theory-the-conspiracy-themed-card-game?ref=category_newest). This is our first campaign so any and all advice is welcome. The project is a card game called It’s Just a Theory and is a storytelling game where players create conspiracy theories.
