Crowdfunding Nerds: Kickstarter Marketing For Board Games & Beyond!

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 31, 2026 49:26

SEO is changing. AI is changing search. But does that mean everything you knew about getting discovered online is suddenly useless? Not exactly. Crowdfunding Nerds SEO wizard and original co-host Richard is back to talk about what tabletop creators need to know about SEO, AI search, branding, and getting their games discovered online. Richard and Sean dig into why brand presence matters more than ever, how AI tools find and recommend products, and why being mentioned across places like BoardGameGeek, Reddit, social media, review sites, and other authoritative platforms can make a major difference. They also discuss one of the biggest mistakes crowdfunding creators continue to make: waiting until launch to start building awareness. From choosing a searchable game name to creating public conversations around your project, the goal isn't simply to spam your Kickstarter everywhere. It's to give search engines, AI systems, and—most importantly—real people enough evidence to understand who you are and why your game matters. And Richard's biggest SEO tip might be the simplest: be unique. Share stories, experiences, insights, statistics, and ideas that nobody else can copy. Guest Bio: Richard Phillips is the SEO expert at Crowdfunding Nerds and one of the podcast's original co-hosts. Working largely behind the scenes, Richard specializes in search engine optimization, online visibility, and helping brands build a stronger digital presence. He was also instrumental in launching the Crowdfunding Nerds podcast as a way to share practical marketing knowledge with creators and expand the company's reach. Richard shares his perspective on the rapidly changing world of SEO and AI search, including how tabletop creators can build brand authority, improve discoverability, and give both search engines and potential backers more reasons to find—and trust—their games.

Josh Hobein, manager of cybersecurity and automation at Centrex IT, discusses how MSPs can be run like five-star restaurants by prioritizing service, empathy, and experience over mere SLA “checkbox” performance. Drawing on his background in restaurant management, he explains how hospitality skills translate to tier-one helpdesk and why culture is defined by what leaders tolerate, requiring top-down standards, accountability, recognition, and sometimes letting misaligned people go; Centrex's ESOP model also supports ownership and buy-in. On security, he describes a simplified five-stage maturity model built from cyber insurance requirements and CIS controls (favoring CIS for its programmatic implementation groups) to help non-technical owners understand progress via a roadmap. He cautions against fear-only security selling, advocating education-based conversations, and emphasizes business-decision-focused tabletop exercises (including IRGame.ai) plus the importance of cyber insurance and minimum security baselines.Check out a scene from The Bear that demonstartes what choosing excellence looks like. This episode is brought to you by Opsleader Pro. A place for MSP owners and managers to get the systems and tools they need to build a stable and growing MSP.
