We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Our YouTube video goes Viral!

Update #5 · Jul 11, 2012 · comment

Hello Dearest Kickstarters,

We just wanted to update you with the latest news re: our YouTube video.

It now has over 100K viewers and this is in just 4 days:

As you will all appreciate, this is a big number! We cannot help but think: 'If every single person out of that 100K people had pledged $1 each, then we would have already reached our $100,000 goal!' :)

We had several meetings internally and with close friends, trying to understand how come we have so much success on YouTube but not on KS page (yet). The general consensus is, these 100K+ YouTube viewers either:

  • do not end up at all in our KS page,
  • end up on our KS page but do not grasp the KS concept due to language barriers,
  • end up on our KS page and get the KS idea but hold off (thinking there are still 34 days to go). 

Which one do you think sounds more likely? 

As our loyal backers, it would be nice to hear your thoughts on this matter. 

PS: We still need people to help us with English-Arabic translation. Please get in touch if you think you can help. 

All the Best.
