Not every Kickstarter campaign is an instant success.
In fact, Chadi’s first Kickstarter campaign was a flop.
It didn’t raise as much as he hoped. But, that didn’t stop him.
Chadi started out with no contacts, no email list and less than 100 FB page likes. He made a commitment to do what was needed to figure out how Kickstarter worked.
After a lot of learning, almost a year after his first Kickstarter campaign, he re-launched and ended up raising $87,373 from 260 backers!!
With a new strategy and different mindset, he was able to turn a failure into a massive success.
He came on the podcast to share with you exactly what he did differently the second time around.
He shared how he got over 1,000 Instagram followers, what his pre-launch strategy looked like, and how he got a surprising number of backers from a mystery country.
After all was said and done, it was a “very humbling experience.”
I hope you enjoy our conversation!
