Looks like we might make it....
Hi all,
I'd hate to see this project fall just short of the goal, so anything any of you could do to promote it would be MOST APPRECIATED.
Thank you all for your support!
Alan

@Luis Francisco -- what is Kicktraq?
Creator Glockron on September 10, 2012
Try Troy's idea - that usually works.
If within the last three days we're still coming short, I can't deny that a lot of people would chuck in some extra Dollars to see it happen. I mean, you've only asked for 8/10 USD, which is absolutely reasonable. I can see people throwing in another five for no additional reward.
Creator Luis Francisco Baroni Coutinho on September 9, 2012
Kicktraq says it will go over 4000$ :)
Creator Emanuel Moura on September 9, 2012
Good idea, Troy.

I've seen some other projects like this get some good responses to higher pledges getting maybe an hour of your time via skype to ask any content related questions
Creator Truls Bjørvik on September 9, 2012
I agree with Emanuel. I see one way of "improvement" though, if you are worried: New rewards for higher pledges! Currently your top-rewards are for advertising; there are a lot more potential to be extracted in other avenues. I could suggest a reward for getting your desired subject covered in the book. Currently there are 156 potential backers who could decide to up their pledge; give them that opportunity. :-)

Alan,
According to Kicktraq, we're going to make it easily. You may begin writing.
