It\u2019s a place where you can bring your passions and ideas to life and support others trying to do the same. It\u2019s home to the arts, music, film, games, technology, design, and so much more. The very essence of a Kickstarter campaign is about showing people you have a bright light bulb hovering above your brain and you\u2019d like to share it with anyone willing to listen. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It doesn\u2019t matter how big or small your project may be, or how niche, or how grand. What matters is that you have created a spark and you\u2019re ready to start a fire. It\u2019s about creating something special, following through with your promises, and building a strong and true community of supporters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help ease this creative experience, Kickstarter offers a lot of simple and fun ways to discover cool people to support. And they offer a slew of easy ways to connect creating a glorious community of communities. It doesn\u2019t matter if you&#8217;re a creator or a backer, you can begin to immerse yourself in this community right now.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Back a Project Already!<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fastest way to get involved is to back a project. If you haven\u2019t done so yet, please stop reading and do so right now. The inner joy experienced knowing you are helping an individual somewhere on this big blue globe is beyond rewarding, and dare I say, down right liberating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you back a creator, you get to peel back the curtain and go on the wild ride with them. You gain access to frequent project updates and the ability to communicate with the creator like never before. Comment on an update, send some love in the form of a heart to show you\u2019re listening, and tell your friends about all the great people you are now supporting. How often can you strike up a conversation with someone who makes the things you love? It\u2019s like hitting pause during Ghostbusters and telling Bill Murray to keep up the good work. Simply priceless.<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10895\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backerkit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/lay-waste-games-kickstarter-backerkit.jpg\" alt=\"Lay Waste Games Dragoon\" width=\"1360\" height=\"959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backerkit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/lay-waste-games-kickstarter-backerkit.jpg 1360w, https:\/\/www.backerkit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/lay-waste-games-kickstarter-backerkit-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.backerkit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/lay-waste-games-kickstarter-backerkit-768x542.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.backerkit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/lay-waste-games-kickstarter-backerkit-1024x722.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1360px) 100vw, 1360px\" \/><b><\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>Keep Tabs, Stay Informed<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are so many creators to follow on Kickstarter. Since I have a lot of respect for the fine folks over at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laywastegames.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lay Waste Games<\/a>, I\u2019ll use them as an example.They\u2019re great and they make awesome tabletop games. And they\u2019ve built a wonderful community. I\u2019m bummed I wasn\u2019t around when they launched their mega-hit game Dragoon. Only thing I could do was seek them out on Kickstarter and follow them anticipating their next project. Soon after I followed them, I received a fancy alert that their next tabletop project Human Era had launched. I backed them in record time. My point being, you can follow the people and companies you admire, and get notified whenever their creative wheels start rolling again with a new project launch. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Tools and Resources Galore! <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take the time to navigate and explore <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kickstarter<\/a>.

If you create a project you&#8217;ll get a nifty \u201cCreator\u201d badge that also tracks the number of projects you\u2019ve run. There\u2019s also a \u201cSuperbacker\u201d badge that lets the community know that you\u2019ve backed a lot of projects. You earn this badge once you support 25 projects for over $10 within the span of a year. Both can be seen on your main profile page and whenever you leave a comment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of your profile page, there are a lot of things within that give viewers an idea of who you are and what types of projects you\u2019re interested in. The \u201cAbout\u201d tab tells the world who you are in your own words. The \u201cBacked\u201d section is an archive of projects you\u2019ve supported in the past without including the actual pledge amount. The \u201cCreator\u201d tab showcases all the projects you\u2019ve run. And then there\u2019s the pie chart, my personal favorite. Each piece of the pie represents a Kickstarter category such as \u201cArt\u201d or \u201cGames\u201d that gets filled once you\u2019ve supported a project within that category. Filling up the entire pie is a bucket list item of mine for sure. While all these elements may not seem like a big deal, they definitely matter if you plan to run a campaign of your own. People want to see that you are involved and that you care.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Get Creating<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re serious about running a Kickstarter campaign at any point in your life, now\u2019s the time to start diving into the Kickstarter community taking advantage of all their resources. It\u2019s fun, it\u2019s easy, and it\u2019s something you can do right now without anything blocking you. It\u2019s time to take that idea of yours and put it into action. There\u2019s a whole community out there waiting to support you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Looking for more resources and best practices?
