How to succeed with Kickstarter

Bay Area Underground just successfully raised $1,825 from 33 donors! I also did a successful Kickstarter for my book last year, Papers for the Suppression of Reality, so I learned a lot from that process. And I also learned from attending the San Francisco Self-Published Authors Meetup on running a Kickstarter campaign in July, 2012.

However, neither of these campaigns approach the size and complexity of Mike Del Ponte's Soma water filter Kickstarter, which has raised over $100,000 in ten days! A lot of strategy, tools, and planning were put into his highly successful campaign to launch his San Francisco-based startup. Read more about how he ran his Kickstarter campaign on Tim Ferriss' blog.
