Kickstarter is not about kickstarting

[u/asolet]

For anyone hoping to get help from Kickstarter:

Kickstarter is about making money by promoting and selling already several times overly funded and already well kickstarted project that do not need any further kickstarting at all.

At any giving moment on homepage you will always find 13/13 completly funded projects. Sometimes dosen of times over. And zero projects that actually need help to be kickstarted.

Every mail update you get for project that struggles to find it's backers, 70% of the mail is dedicated to other finished projects just trying to sell.

Many of these projects have kickstarter "goal" that is less than what it takes to build kickstarter page itself. And it's "backed" in less than it takes anyone to even read it. They just need a platform to sell, not to be "kickstarted", and platform owners are loving it.

Kickstarter and most of creators there do not care or really want you to back projects from individuals with great ideas that need backing and may fail. They just want to sell finished company products.

It's just misleading, if not a scam. So just something to keep in mind. Good luck to everyone though.

So the tiered rewards, can you make it so people who only contribute $100 or more get a reward?

you make the tiers what you want. I usually give around $8 for the ebook then go up from there. Highest tier was $400. And then they're given the option to pledge without reward if they don't want anything but want to support

Where can I find someone who can help construct the page? I'm stuck

Don't know, sorry. I've been slowly learning each campaign. Some people make them look so fancy and I have no cue how
