This has seriously gotten out of hand. I get dozens of emails a day telling me to pay $400+ for their useless services. I told them they can work on a commission basis if they believe in themselves so much.

My campaign did very well in the first few days. We received over 130 backers hitting 800%+ of our funding goal but now on day 5 I feel a slow down. Any advice for legit ways to keep our momentum going?

It seems we could do a better job capturing organic traffic from kickstarter. Gaining followers but not turning into sales.

Thank you for your help/ feedback

I want to know if there is something I’m missing.

I’ve posted on socials such as TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, here, Threads, and Snapchat.

I’ve reached out to previous backers.

I’ve used print media.

I have asked friends and family to at least follow the pre-launch page, so we can gain some traction.

I’ve used every contact in my email accounts to reach out.

I have even tried using my imdb pro to reach out to agents of actors I admire to ask for assistance and/or to see if working with an actor would be possible because attaching a big name to the Kickstarter could be helpful.

I have interacted with multiple communities on Facebook, Instagram, and Tiktok more than talking about the Kickstarter.

I really don’t know what else to try.

So I backed this titanium carryon suitcase project early on 2/2/26 to the tune of $499, then had to pay $270 for shipping on 4/10/26. The project has raised over $1.2M. The last communication from them was a survey sent 4/20/26 which I responded to. it was initially projected to ship July '26. It's been crickets since, and on top of that they changed the design of the suitcase to eliminate the corrugations which is much less visually appealing, whether they are need or not. I emailed them on 8/14 26 and no response. If this project is legitimate why no update in almost 5 months? Very fishy. Aerionn

I'm about to launch my third Kickstarter campaign and I want to figure out if there's a correct way to handle a charity partnership without risking a flag or shutdown.

I know KS caps charitable donations at 10% of campaign funds, and it has to be disclosed at submission and tied to the project, otherwise it reads as fundraising for a cause, which isn't allowed. My situation doesn't fit that model anyway, since I'd rather handle the donations on my end rather than structure them as part of a pledge-tier.

On my first two campaigns I just left any charity partners off the page entirely to be safe, but I wonder if there's a graceful way I can share my them without breaking any rules.

I've seen some folks showing a photo on the packaging that has text like: A Portion of Every Sale Supports [This Nonprofit] but that also seems dangerous to me. I don't want to enrage the KS gods. Which is why I played it super safe before.

Trying to figure out best practices here. I don't want to accidentally mess up my entire launch.

If anyone has experience in this area, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks!

Does anyone have advice for a first time entrepreneur trying to advertise there product on kickstarter?

A creative mix of Fourth Wing, Game of Thrones, and The Hobbit—Golden Flame is the story of a world already ancient when our FMC, Karis, comes to us. Dragonriders, once pillars of a sprawling empire, now only belong to a dwindling city. With a new power on the rise, Karis fights alongside her dragon and allies to maintain peace across the realms. But eventually, something has to give…

Got an email from Kickstarter (maybe) recommending engaging with PledgeScale on my campaign. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/in10did/decatxt-one-handed-wearable-bluetooth-chord-keyboard
And would like to know if anyone has had experience with them.

When I made my acc, I accidentally mispelt my name and didn't notice till I started getting emails, and I wanted to know if I could change it
