Kickstarter Info
Essentially Kickstarter is a funding platform. It helps a creator cover their EXPENSES (i.e. money already spent or needed to be spent to create the product). You select a tier and ‘pledge’ that amount to support the campaign. Warning: you cannot pledge multiple tiers. Though I suppose you could do so with multiple accounts. If the main funding goal is achieved, then you receive the item you pledged by the date listed (hopefully!). After the initial goal is met, there are often stretch goals (‘free’ extras/rewards) that come into play. Which people who have already baked the project (at a certain level) receive without spending any more money.
How do I pledge/back a project?
How do I change/increase my pledge?
Why run a Kickstarter for Oracle 1 in the first place?
For me, a Kickstarter functions partly as a preorder – I don’t run a store, so I don’t ‘carry’ stock. A Kickstarter lets me know what my readers are interested in so I can order the minimum amount. The only guaranteed way to get any of the limited editions of Oracle 1 is to pledge/back the item you want via the Kickstarter campaign.
A Kickstarter also functions as a way to help creators finance special editions or new endeavors, etc. In my case, I’m taking the opportunity to rebrand the entire Oracle trilogy (with all new covers, etc).
