Become an active member of the crowdfunding community

Now that you’ve spent some time setting up your expectations, it’s time to start learning more about the crowdfunding platform you’re using. 

If you’re serious about crowdfunding your game, it is crucial for you to understand and engage with the platform. And above all, support other people just like you trying to turn their ideas into reality! There’s no better place than BackerKit to do research, educate yourself, and connect with other creators. Remember, potential backers can see how many projects you’ve backed. While never backing a project may not be a deal-breaker, it’s a nice way to show people that you support this community.

Here are a few things you can do right now:

Start backing projects
If you haven’t backed any projects, what are you waiting for? There are so many games launching on any given week that you’re bound to find something you like. 

Follow creators you admire & reach out
Following creators on BackerKit is super easy. Take a look at their project history, study their journey, see what projects they’ve backed, send them a message asking for advice, and get alerts whenever they launch something new.

Use the tools and resources
Spend some time exploring all BackerKit has to offer including the various resources, tools, newsletters, and articles. You’d be surprised by how many people have the same questions as you. 

Stay Active in BackerKit’s Discord Server
After signing up for a BackerKit Creator Account and starting a new project, you’ll receive an invitation to join BackerKit’s Discord server. This community is a great place to connect with other creators, ask questions, and get support.
