Creating a successful Kickstarter project is an involved process, and behind every funded project are months of creating, planning, budgeting, production, communication, fulfillment and problem solving.
Over the past many years I have run and fulfilled 6 Kickstarter campaigns to fund various art projects from sketchbooks to calendars. I have produced art books, prints, calendars, original art, bookmarks and more for collectors and backers around the world.
Along the way I’ve learned many lessons on what works and what doesn’t and how to navigate all these when it comes to bringing a creative project to life.
This guide is a practical collection of all of those lessons focused on how I put my most recent Kickstarter: The Sketchbook of NeverWas and NotYet together.
Inside this guide you’ll find insights on:
- Planning and defining the scope of a project
- Setting realistic goals and expectations
- Curating Art for your Project
- Documenting Your Process
- Planning and Building a Campaign
- Marketing and Social Media Promotions
- Manufacturing Books and Printed Products
- Working with Printers
- Budgeting and Financial Considerations
- Packing, Shipping & Fulfillment
- Communicating with Backers
- Managing Timelines
- Lessons Learned from Successful Campaigns
My goal is to share the knowledge I’ve earned from my experiences over the years of creating independent art projects, and I hope it will make your project planning a little easier.
Whether you’re preparing your first campaign and looking to improve, I hope these pages will have some useful information for you.
