Hi Melissa, These might be useful to you...
http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2012/12/18/hacking-kickstarter -how-to-raise-100000-in-10-days-includes-successful-templates-e-mails-etc/ http://www.fastcompany.com/3003858/how-make-kickass-kickstarter-video?partner=newsletter http://blog.jasonshah.org/post/18339823552/kickstarters-million-dollar-ux-how-kickstarter-makes Basically you need a lot of momentum and need to be continuously encouraging and incentivising your fans to spread the word for you. Kickstarter itself is the just platform... the rest is up to you to get people engaged in interested in what you are offering.
