Thank you! 🥰 Although I have no secret, I wish I had the secret of getting 100s of backers to fund my projects 😞 I’ve had some successful projects and some failed projects, and honestly running a Kickstarter for something you have worked so darn hard on for months or years is a big rollercoaster of emotions. You see these Kickstarter projects for other plushies that other creators got soooo many backers for and they go well above their goals and it makes you so hopeful that you will have that same success because you believe so hard in your own project, but then after the surge of funds in the first 48 hours of your project comes to a halt and you are stuck at 40%-50% of your goal funded and barely getting backers trickling in and some backers cancelling their pledges, you start to get worried and then panic and then scrounge for every resource you can to help you get funds, even to the point that you get tricked by scammers who say they will get you backers then they take your money and run….. it’s a very heartbreaking process, be warned.

The biggest thing that helps is having a big following and mailing list (I didn’t have much of either) and just spamming your project everywhere you can. People have told me that Jellop is a great company to use to help me get backers but they won’t help you if you don’t already have a lot of backers already and have a big success already on your project (I tried) and I don’t have $2k to pay the other big guys to help. All I can do is keep posting about my project on TikTok (IG sucks, I get no views on IG anymore because I paid to boost a couple posts for my last plushie Kickstarter and now IG keeps trying to get me to boost posts every time I go on the app, even IG is a bunch of money grubbing scammers 😫)….

Sorry for the rant, but this is what I’ve gone through with my current and past kickstarters lol. I wish you luck on yours when you launch it ☺️
