r/kickstarter

I am UK based, planning a UK / US kickstarter and looking at trademarking.

Uk trademark first and kick ball off with US trademark is successful or get UK and US trademarks before launch?

6 years ago I had a genuine issue that was affecting my life dramatically
I was a software developer at the time doing a masters so I naturally made an app to fix said problem 😂
After 3-4 years of using the app I’ve made, I decided to finally make it release-able and a couple weeks ago I’ve actually released it, which was a huge milestone for me!
I’ve used the same name for my app, as the name of the subreddit I was inspired from and I’m now afraid people will get angry at me because of that.
I’m not trying to get rich or anything like that.
Did anyone have any problems similar to this before?
What did you do?
I’m seriously thinking of deleting the app just to rename it, but I really don’t want to go through the pain of getting approved at the app store again

Having a bit of a nightmare with setting up Meta Pixel/API and hoping somebody might have an insight. This is my 9th campaign so not a newbie but settings seem to change each time!

When setting up a new pixel & API for a campaign launching Saturday it's receiving events - page view, add to cart (aka notify me).

However within the ad itself the 'purchase' conversion event is greyed out so I can't actually set up an ad campaign.

I've always been able to set up a campaign in advance to start when the campaign launches, so I'm not sure what the block is this time.

Any advice?

Hello there folk, I'm Molly :-)

I'm getting ready to launch a Kickstarter for my first graphic novel on the 1st September and I've been having a bit of a brain storm about how best to get it in front of the right folks... Rather than spending more hours watching more Youtube videos (with epic editing I must say) I thought I'd come and ask the good folks of Reddit instead! I know there's loads of experience and first-hand knowledge knocking about on here, previous posts have been dead helpful already.

So if you've fun a kickstarter before I'd really love to hear about your experience:

• what worked best for you?
• what ways did you promote your campaign?
• which platforms did you find actually useful?
• what didn't work at all?
• wid anything surprise you?

And more specifically... has anyone here launched a comic or graphic novel on Kickstarter?

Thank you folks. Hope you've all had a lovely weekend!

We are currently running a Kickstarter for RoveSpier, and one thing I’m struggling to understand is what makes someone go from simply seeing a campaign to actually becoming a backer.

There are plenty of ways to get views and clicks, but getting someone to trust a new project enough to support it seems like a completely different challenge.

For those who have backed or launched Kickstarter campaigns:

What convinced you to back a project?

Was it the product itself, the creator, the video, the rewards, social proof, the story behind the project, or something else?

I’d really like to learn from people who have actually been on either side of a Kickstarter campaign.

Just launched my first campaign, let me know how I can make it better! Thank you ahead of time 🫶🏼😮‍💨

I posted this in a the comments section of a few Kickstart campains that turned out to be scams and am looking for feedback from this community. Am I wrong?

"I have been part of multiple scams this year on this platform.

I have reached a point where my trust in Kickstarter's vetting process has significantly diminished. The recent lack of discernible support or proactive response from the platform concerning project viability has caused me to reassess its model. From an objective standpoint, I am seeking recommendations for alternative crowdfunding platforms (e.g., Indiegogo) that are known for rigorous due diligence and comprehensive creator support protocols. My goal is to ensure that my contributions are directed toward safer and more reliable funding mechanisms."

Not an editor at all but with some stock effects in CapCut and a voice artist I found via Fiverr I was able to put together a quick trailer!

Hello!

I recently launched my Kickstarter page for my queer romantic short film, (if you’d like the link to it, let me know! It was recently selected for “Projects We Love” which has been very exciting!!) and most of the donations have been from family and friends. I wanted to try and get some attention online (which I have in local Facebook film groups and what not), but I tried posting about my short film consistently on TikTok, and I find I’m actually getting less views in general on my TikTok page when talking about my short film, then I do when I periodically post every couple months with something random.

I tried paying for tiktok to promote one of the videos but that actually killed my views even more. Even TikTok Promos said “it looks like you’re getting less views than you normally do” (🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I did pay for your services to help that issue but here we are…) I wonder if maybe me talking about LGBTQ+ content got me shadow-banned in some weird way?? I’m not sure.

So if anyone has any tips for things that worked for them when it came to promoting their Kickstarter on platforms like TikTok or Instagram, that would be great!

I have created a side project (a ridiculous passion project to create a very, very silly-sounding but adult card game to make people laugh in dark times) and have wanted to share it. And yes, that's really the name.

If this somehow sparks something deep inside, please consider sharing it.

I am a 17 year old student about to start FY engineering college this year. I have my holidays going on right now and wanted to do something which I was always curious about: **Website building.** But, I don't at all know how to code and build a website by myself. That's why I chose Lovable to build my website for me.

The **Idea** about this website came from a problem which I and many people in my country (India) usually face. We have many online examinations for admissions to various courses and jobs across the country. Many of them require you to upload your documents while registering for the exams and put a **size cap (must not be more than 30kb)** on them. Most of the files already exceed that size cap and we have to **scurry around**, searching for the right website which is not filled with ads or has a costly subscription. Many of them also **don't support all the file formats.**

That's why I **decided to build FileForge,** **a fast, easy and smooth file compression, resizing and converting platform** where users can easily process their files as they want them to be. It support most of the formats of Images, PDFs, Audio and Videos and the best thing is: " **No uploads, No servers, No file leaves your device."** It has a pretty generous free tier and a great pro plan at extremely reasonable price ranges.

Do check it out and use it as per your needs!!
Feedback and suggestions are always welcome!!
Thank you!!
