Presenting Your Project
1. Explain it
- Give a short summary of the project in the video
- Go into more detail in the description for those who want to learn more
- Post useful F.A.Q. to answer any questions backers might have
- Every time you talk about your project, be it a short or long description, it should inform people, not bore, distract, or confuse them about what your project is
2. Outline it
- Let people know the end goal
- How much you want and why
- Tell them what the funds go towards. Don’t let them think you don’t have a plan or don’t really need the funds
- Let them know what your plans are if you reach your goal
- What about if you exceed your goal? Double it? What if you triple it, then what are your plans? At the very least have a vague idea what you would do with more funds
3. Keep them informed
- Release updates in a timely manner
- Don’t wait too long between updates, but don’t update every day every time you get a dollar
- A little less than a week works best, though remember to update when something important or exciting happens
- Be thankful, informative, and/or funny
- Update them on how the project is coming, any news or changes
- Do not waste their time with pointless updates
- Edit the description as time goes on
- This shows you are present and attentive to your project
- If you reach your goal, celebrate!
- Do a special update, thank your backers, and post something unique to reward everyone for helping you reach your goal
- Aim for a new goal, let people know what your plans are now
- Change your push but continue to seek more backers
- Share images from your project in your updates and the description
- Much more interesting than a wall of text
