This course covers the tricks and techniques of maximizing and surpassing your goals in a Kickstarter Campaign. I was expecting something boring and long, full of insiders terms. Instead, with my surprise, it was very light and clear, in a language that everyone can understand. The course covers also the basic on how to create a project in Kickstarter from scratch, starting from creating the project in the Kickstarter web page, and goes through several chapter covering the campaign life from the start to the end. There are also suggestions about the promotional videos, visit tracking, advertise the campaign with external sites, calculate costs and pledges . Each step is described and commented based on his experience of life in Kickstarter, and give the suggestions and trick to get outstanding results. There are a lot of precious informations and advices to avoid epic failures, that are based not only on theories, but are the results of the practical experience. The course was held by Richard Haberkern that had several outstanding successes in Kickstarter, and the style is like a one to one interview with him, and it is not boring at all. The course id divided in several short chapters where you should get only the key important facts, and has been removed any no added value info. The production quality is good, may be the background music is a little too high in some moments. If you are thinking to do a Kickstarter project take this course, it will help you to remove all the uncertainties you have as a beginners in Kickstarter.

This is basically the free course with a few extras bolted on and a big bonus if you're an inventor. The free course was around 16 minutes long and this course is around an hour and 10 minutes. The last 28 minutes are an interview with the presenter about being an inventor. This is probably great if you are an inventor but I am looking to set up a kickstarter project for a book project, so that section was irrelevant for me. That leaves you with around 20 minutes of extra tips and advice based on his direct experience with Kickstarter as an inventor. There is also a US bias so not all information is relevant if you live outside of the US, such as the information about tax implications. Aside from those points the course is a good overview of everything you would do well to consider when setting up your first kickstarter project. The best advice I gleaned from this is to look at kickstarter as a popularity contest and look at other successful projects similar to your own to get a feel for what has worked in the past. Oh and get feedback from others about how your project and video come across. To improve this course I would like to see a downloadable checklist and a downloadable excel budget/schedule planner.
