Four Things to Do Before Funding Ends
We're getting close to the end! There are less than thirty hours to go before funding closes on Tuesday at 5pm PDT. Once it closes, no more pledges or changes will be accepted, and the project will be funded! So now's a good time for a little housekeeping.
1. DOUBLE-CHECK YOUR PLEDGE AND REWARD
Take a moment to double-check that you've chosen the right pledge level and reward. There are two steps to pledging: you need to enter the correct pledge amount and select a reward from the list. A handful of you haven't selected a reward, so make sure that's what you intended. To double-check, click the blue "Manage Your Pledge" button in the upper-right corner of this page and confirm both your pledge amount and your reward selection.
2. SIGNATURE EDITION REWARD: INCLUDE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
If you selected the Signature Edition ($105) reward, thank you! I'll be sending you a package by mail. If you're in the US, shipping is included. If you're located outside the US, make sure you've pledged $115 to cover additional shipping costs.
3. MULTI-USER REWARDS: RECORD YOUR EXTRAS
If you chose a multi-user pack (the $100, $250, $625, or $1,500 rewards), you can convert some or all of those users to "early access" for $5 each. For example, if you chose the 3-user pack ($100) and you want those users to have early access, pledge $115.
You can also add additional users at a discount. The rates are:
- 3-User Pack: $33.25 per additional user
- 8-User Pack: $31.50 per additional user
- 21-User Pack: $29.75 per additional user
- 55-User Pack: $27.30 per additional user
For example, to purchase a 10-user pack, you would select the 8-user reward ($250) and add two additional users at $31.50 each, for a total pledge of $313.
Be sure to write down which extras you selected. I'll ask for details in a survey after funding closes.
4. TELL A FRIEND
Finally, recommend this project to a friend! If you've backed this project already, you know what a great opportunity it is. Let a friend or colleague know, too. You'll be doing them a favor, and helping us meet our next goal as well. We're over halfway there!
Thanks again, everyone! I can say with confidence that this is the most successful Javascript screencast ever funded on Kickstarter. ;-) It's all thanks to you. In just a few days, we'll begin!
