Here’s a tip for the Kickstarter crowd that puts the sourcing back into your funding project. After much user demand, the platform’s creators have implemented a way to solicit pre-launch feedback from your trusted 3 Fs (fans, friends, and family) before going live. Using the preview feature makes sense. This is, after all, when you’re most in your head, your brain addled with questions about how your campaign will perceived by the crowd, way too close to it to think objectively. Here's how the new feature works: Generating a preview link is as easy as clicking on the blue prominently displayed “Get Feedback” button. A link will be generated and you can send it to as many people as you like. If privacy is a big concern, the operative word here is trust – keep it among your closest fans. If it’s not an issue, you can post it on your social media networks to crowdsource your way to crowdfunding success. Currently, you’ll be alerted to feedback via email or push notifications on your iOS app (Android users don’t have the app, yet). Now you can be poised to click that “Go Live” button with a little bit less of a tremble in your trigger finger.
