Essentially, identify where your target backers might hang out, and announce your project in any acceptable forum where those people would hang out. Leading up to and during a crowdfunding campaign, look for other upcoming/active campaigns with a similar vibe or audience, and contact their people directly to see if they're interested in cross-promotion. We met many friendly fellow developers this way. Build up an email mailing list as soon as possible, along with your community server.

How does Kickstarter work from beginning to end? How do you prepare and plan for a Kickstarter campaign BEFORE it starts? How can you optimize it for success? How much should your funding goal be? What happens once your Kickstarter campaign is over? Can Kickstarter make you rich? Can you lose money on a Kickstarter campaign?This week we are talking to Ethan S. BrewertonFrom Ethan:“I grew up in Connecticut spending much of my time creating, whether with Legos, clay, sticks, paper, or whatever else I could get my hands on. The drive to create has followed me all through my life. Occasionally this creative passion would lead me to engineering, inventing, and architecture. All the while marveling over Monsters, Superheros, Dinosaurs, and Dragons. ​Now as a Freelance Illustrator, I smash all of that together into highly detailed images, comics, and graphics! Whether it's Science Fiction, Cyberpunk, Fantasy, or anything else, all of those childhood interests get stirred up and put onto the page... or screen.”Website - https://www.ethansbrewerton.com/blank-mpvleInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/ethansbrewerton/Twitter - https://twitter.com/EthanSBrewertonArtstation - https://www.artstation.com/ethansbrewertonTwitch -https://www.twitch.tv/ethansbrewertonKickstarter- https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ethansbrewerton/cyberwild-augmentations-5e-magic-item-compendium/descriptionOther points of interest from our conversation:Kicktraq - https://www.kicktraq.com/The Illustrati Discord Server - https://discord.gg/ybXfgH7yQbBackerkit - https://www.backerkit.com/
