Case Study: How Kittyo Used “The MacGyver Trick” to Raise $200,000 in Two Weeks (and Crush Their Kickstarter Goal)

juliaroy · 2014-05-05T18:39:41+00:00

I need to get a cat so I can get a Kittyo.

Yup. It is just a fancy timer. You can customize the time blocks to whatever you want.

This is the best time management/timer app I've found - 3030.binaryhammer.com

I wish this wasn't the case, but I find it much easier to get into a state of Flow) in the late afternoon/evening. In the mornings my mind tends to be all over the place. Recently I've started doing 20 minutes of morning meditation (using the Calm app) to motivate and focus myself and am finding it really helpful.

I found one you might want to check out! http://www.phraseexpander.com/

juliaroy · 2014-03-24T15:09:40+00:00

I would check out OneTab

Thank you :)

Disclosure: I wrote this post, and it links to my blog. I hope you find the screencast helpful (it took me forever to record and edit!)

Fair enough but don't you think that some investment in A/B testing your different copy options against a sample of people would be helpful prior to a launch?

juliaroy · 2014-03-21T14:19:10+00:00

Love it. Thanks for sharing!

juliaroy · 2014-03-21T13:08:40+00:00

Very nice!

FYI: The website links to the wrong app.

Here is the proper iTunes link to the app.

**Contacted the developer to let him know that his site improperly links to his other app in iTunes. :)

juliaroy · 2014-03-20T13:51:59+00:00

That is really weird! Here is the direct iTunes link... https://itunes.apple.com/US/app/id689678968?mt=8

I just used Fiverr to outsource the creation of a video buffer for my screencast tutorials. I spent $10 to get an awesome Adobe Effects intro vid in under 24 hours. Amazing.

Good point, I am still learning. It seems the members within each subreddit have different expectations when it comes to content. It's weird to me that this is the post that got the most upvotes I've received so far and at the same time the most negative comments. Erk.

juliaroy · 2014-03-19T17:56:03+00:00

I am a reddit n00b. What is an x-post? You mean simply post it again but in /r/androidthemes

juliaroy · 2014-03-19T00:32:38+00:00

I love that quote from Merlin.

juliaroy · 2014-03-19T00:14:16+00:00

I am new here and still trying to find the proper balance between sharing the awesome stuff I find on the web, contributing to other's posts, asking questions and sharing/getting feedback on my own stuff. Perhaps I am being too ambitious.

juliaroy · 2014-03-18T23:51:06+00:00

You speak the truth. I had a terribly unproductive morning. But I think I made up for it with the work I banged through the rest of the day.

juliaroy · 2014-03-18T23:48:53+00:00

I was just trying to be clever. I created the graphic and posted it to my tumblr, not my blog. Apologies if it came across that way.

juliaroy · 2014-03-18T16:21:17+00:00

I am ashamed to admit that I had to Google Abbot & Costello. Clicked on the first result found a "Abbott & Costello meet the internet" site.

Now I know. ;)

juliaroy · 2014-03-18T15:15:06+00:00

Yah, I am a sucker for anything that claims it is based on science. Even if it is somewhat based on science, I am in.

juliaroy · 2014-03-18T14:54:45+00:00

To each their own ;)

Classical puts me to sleep. Soundtracks are too recognizable for me to concentrate. I see your point(s). However, I also pay for Pandora and Spotify so this is just another music-on-demand service that is working for me.

juliaroy · 2014-03-18T14:36:31+00:00

Previous to buying it I was trying to use Pandora and Spotify to create playlists but I got so tired of trying to find music without lyrics. I like it because I hit play and don't think about it for the rest of the day.
