WHAT IS KICKSTARTER?

 

We have heard from many of you who don’t know what Kickstarter is! Neither did we before we jumped into this project! Now we are sailing downwind to the finish line with our book Turning Out The Lights With A Smile!

 

Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform for creative projects in the many categories: Art, Comics, Design, Fashion, Film & Video, Food, Games, Journalism, Music, Photography, Publishing, Technology, and Theater. It rewards innovation. Our book qualifies as it is an upbeat way to give valuable information to seniors. We thought that Kickstarter would be the perfect platform for us. Not only does it offer exceptional free exposure (the latest stats are 9.4 million backers to fund 257,000 creative projects), but it will help us raise money for our project.

 

We have a 30 day window to attract pledges to support our project and to reach our goal.  The campaign is all or nothing. If we do not make it within that time, we lose all of the pledges we have received. We have 6 Pledge levels…most come with advance copies of our book along with extra goodies. So far, we are doing very well but we want to keep our project on everyone’s radar. Our goal is that after we pay for printing, we will have enough left over to be able to distribute free copies of our book to Senior Living Communities, Senior Centers and Libraries. The more we raise, the larger our outreach will be to our community and yours.

 

Kickstarter is actually a lot of fun too. In addition to helping fund our campaign, you will find many innovative products. When you support us and our mission, all you have to hit a button and Pledge.  Please share  this with all of your friends, neighbors, fans and relatives. Join our winning team. Together we can make a difference. We look forward to your support.
