EP #418 Going From an Etsy Seller to a $215,921 Kickstarter | Focus Timer

You’ve got a cool new product idea but you should wait until it’s ready and existing before you share it with anyone out there, right?

Wrong!

The earlier you start getting people’s feedback, the closer you are to creating a product that people will genuinely want to support, buy, and own!

Sure, there is a balance to be found between keeping your idea private and maintaining extreme secrecy and today’s podcast episode offers a big clue to what that balance looks like.

In this episode of the Crowdfunding Demystified podcast, you’ll hear Salvador Briggman talk to creator Dave Zuverink, who has raised six successful Kickstarter campaigns for a variety of products.

His very first product was a wallet and the latest one is a Focus Timer – a cool gadget designed to boost focus and creativity, and he raised a whopping $215k from 2,548 backers on Kickstarter for it!

Dave breaks down the entire product development process into tangible steps that you can follow in order to bring your own product to life.

For example, you’ll learn how to build momentum ahead of the launch and what is the most common mistake that first-time creators make.

So, if you’ve ever had a product idea and wondered how to turn it into reality, I think you should prick your ears up for this show! 

It’s packed with practical advice and lessons from the trenches but also has a truly inspiring story behind it!

Hope you enjoy it!
