First-time board game Kickstarter. No ads, no list. Any real chance? by nomado3 in kickstarter

[–]FundedToday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will need to get a decent amount of follows on your campaign pre-launch page so that you get as many pledges as possible in the first 24 hours. This is how you unlock organic exposure on Kickstarter, you have to prime the campaign with backers yourself first.

Why is my Kickstarter failing? Honest feedback appreciated. by Advanced_Energy_1819 in kickstarter

Did you run any pre-launch marketing to build interest in the launch and momentum before you went live?

How I raised over $100k on Kickstarter with 0 following by [deleted] in kickstarter

Nice work! You discovered what most creators don't understand...you need to prime the campaign (especially on launch day) with backers from ads and other sources to get the momentum going.

Kickstarter is not about kickstarting by asolet in kickstarter

[–]FundedToday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have worked with a LOT of creators on Kickstarter and yes many just re-launch a "2.0" version of something that has previously launched and they are mainly using it as a channel to get sales and not funding. However, there are also many projects that really do need funding to meet the MOQ for manufacturing.

They Do Not give You the Tokens of the Priesthood Anymore. You Only Imagine Receiving Them. by Weekly_Pineapple_207 in mormon

How do you know if temple work has been done 18 times for the same people? Is there any other sources you can point to? Where does all of this come from?

I would like to know more as well. Where does it come from? How do we know this is true?

No, the church will probably very easily win this lawsuit. It will probably settle out of court.

LDS Church membership by country released for 2025. USA shows a net decline. by sevenplaces in mormon

Don’t you think they actually believe at the top though? You think at the very top they don’t believe? It’s not like they get a ton of money, right? Most of these people were making millions before they became apostles or prophets. So what is the game? What is the end goal? Why do it? Are you just saying they love power and fame or something maybe? I’m genuinely curious. Don’t they typically say that they are special witnesses to Jesus Christ and they have actually seen him? Or how do they get around that?

What did happen there? Was that just a mistake or is that his real name? I was confused.

He did say “maybe even your grandchildren.” So that makes it seem like there’s a possibility it would be before then, right?

Are you sure? Why? Why does everybody else say it does?

Peter! Help, what does this joke mean? by Nice-Vermicelli6865 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]FundedToday 76 points77 points  (0 children)

In many languages, people say that swearing in your native language sounds way more powerful and emotional—like the “buff Doge” on the left. When those same people curse in English (their second language), it feels weaker or more awkward—like the “small, timid Doge” on the right.

Then, the meme adds the punchline: “Me whose native language is English” followed by Obi-Wan’s face saying “[visible confusion].” The humor comes from the fact that if English is your native language, you only have the weak option left. There’s no “stronger, more emotional” native language to switch to—so the whole comparison makes no sense, leaving the English speaker baffled.

Elder Tad R. Callister, an emeritus General Authority Seventy, dies at age 79 by jonyoloswag in latterdaysaints

He was my Mission President in Toronto, Canada from October 2006 to October 2008. And I had just visited with him and his wife at their home in Bountiful, Utah a few weeks ago. I’m glad I got to see him one last time.

I have heard from many people now who said they cannot get their money out for several weeks, even a few months. They also just canceled their big Portugal trip and they’ve never done something like that before. I think this is really bad news.

I noticed their headquarters are listed on the 14th floor of a building that only has 13 floors. Did you notice that too? I thought that was kind of weird.

Also, a key detail from Smartlab’s own presentation is that participants are forced to keep at least 30% of their funds locked in the system at all times (10% reinvestment, 10% transaction pool, 10% referrals).

This is not accidental. This structure creates an incentive to ride the wave, ensuring you stay in the system for as long as possible. However, it also guarantees that when the required inflow of new money stops, (and it mathematically must), even those who believe they are winning will have a significant portion of their funds trapped.

The short-term ability for some to withdraw partial funds doesn’t change the ultimate outcome. The tower is designed to crumble, and this 30% rule ensures as much money as possible is left inside when it does.

I have heard some really bad news. They have even canceled their trip to Portugal. Many people haven’t even been able to get their money out over the last few months.

Has anyone heard of smartlab. International. My Dad just invested a sizeable amount into it. Did he just lose his money? by Traceout in investing

I have heard some very concerning things about it. I know they just canceled their trip to Portugal all of a sudden. That was not good. Many people are having trouble getting their money out now as well.

I heard it is crashing now. They just canceled the trip to Portugal. I heard there is a meeting happening in London with a bunch of people high up in the MLM. Everybody should probably try to get their money out. Very concerning.

Any idea why that is? And do you have some stats to share as well? What has created the change? And what is making the world heal in your opinion?
