- We've now gone through all of the steps:…Basics, Rewards, Story, About you,…and verifying your Account.…Kickstarter now provides a Preview button…for you to see what your project's going to look like…before it goes live.…When we click on the Preview button,…we get something at the top that's very useful.…Before we go live with our project,…Kickstarter allows us to have a link…to send to our friends…in order to review our project…to make sure we didn't miss anything.…When you click on Get preview link here…Kickstarter generates a preview link that allows you then…to send this information by email,…post it on a website, or wherever you want to share it…so that people can see your project…and look at it before it goes live.…
In addition, the Preview link allows us…to see the entire project…as those who back it will see it when it goes live.…In this case, we haven't done a whole lot to this project.…We've named it Our Awesome Project,…we have our name…and my name…as well as the funding goal over on the right,…but there's not much more that we've added.…

1/5/2016Richard outlines the importance of finding your niche and cultivating an audience before launching a Kickstarter campaign. Then he shows how to create the campaign itself, setting up a profile, establishing pledge levels, and crafting the most important elements of the crowdfunding campaign: your video, graphics, project description, title, and rewards.
You'll learn how to launch and monitor a campaign, use the Project Creator interface, interact with backers via messages and comments, and more. Finally, you'll discover how to analyze the performance of your campaign with the analytics dashboard, and generate a backer survey to stay connected with your crowd.
This course includes knowledge checks to help you self-check your understanding, a free prelaunch checklist to keep you on track, and examples from current Kickstarter campaigns that can help you reach your funding dreams.
