plinan··on 3 Quick Lessons from My Failed Project on Kickstarter.com
Thanks for the reply. It took me two weeks to get the material ready (demo, video, content) and continued the effort during the funding period to coordinate with blogs and forums. But yeah I definitely overestimated my ability to do more for the project while having my own wedding at the same time. So I agree, I probably should have waited until after the wedding to start the project, and a longer funding period might have been a better idea for this project as well.

After 4 weeks of fund raising, I wasn't able to raise the full funding target amount. I've written a blog post on some of the things I learned from having my project on Kickstarter.com for those of you who might be interested in using it in the future.

Thanks for the comment! Sharing profits is a good idea, but it's not allowed on Kickstarter as it cannot be used for investment purposes due to the fact that they use Amazon payment platform.

Good point about the dev credit. I wasn't sure if people would care much about it, but it sounds like some would and I'll move the rewards up (or lower the cost).

Thanks again!
