My IndieGogo Campaign

I'm Currently doing an Indiegogo Campaign to raise some cash for a start-up Business but i'm lacking ideas on ways to promote/share it and make it successful.

I would like to link it here but i am unsure due to fear of what you might think of me, believe it or not i really could not handle bad feelings.


Any Advice would be appreciated, i was going to give away some of my spare steam keys as perks but that makes my campaign feel tacky.


I Decided to Ask here on the sg forums for 2 reasons, one you all like to give, and indiegogo revolves around that, and two these forums became my home and i know alot of people here have a dam smart head on their shoulders.

As much as I feel with you, I would say that you should go the regular way. Do some job for few months, raise enough money to buy your first container and work yourself up. You seem to be a nice and honest person, but I doubt people will send you lot of money just because of that.

I know, This is kind of a last ditch effort, 7 years is a long time and now my anxiety stops me from getting any further.

Sometimes longshots pay off, sometimes they do not. Eitherway i get a happy ending

Man I just read your campaign in indiegogo and I'm gonna assure you that it is not gonna receive funding other than your friends and family.

If this Campaign that was placed as an article in a paper, advertised in our whole univ, aired at a radio and tv station and only received 990$ for 35 days, then I doubt yours will even reach something reasonable

well, since you are asking money to start-up a business. How about giving your projected numbers in your indiegogo page.

Like, how long will you get your capital back? Growth rate of business? are you starting at a loss at start?
I'm not an economist but I guess you could watch Dragon's den(UK ver) as that series talks more about the profitability of a business.

Ow you're in UK too? how about trying your luck in that show :P

I would rather not say too much, otherwise someone else could just go and do what i was going to do xD

but its about 3 years before you break even(pay off what you have put in).

To really get good business you need to make something that will catch the attention of people. I've seen very sucessful projects here are some (I'm not gonna mention names); charge an iphone from another, music concerts, standalone earbuds, etc.
