Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects.
At this very second, thousands of people are checking out projects
on Kickstarter. They're rallying around their friends' ideas, backing projects
from people they've long admired, and discovering things that make
them laugh and smile.
Every project is independently crafted, put to all-or-nothing funding,
and supported by friends, fans, and the public in return for rewards.
-
Independently crafted.
The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have complete control and responsibility over their own projects.
They spend weeks building their own project pages, shooting their own videos, and brainstorming
what to offer as rewards.
Rewards are things like a copy of what's being made, a limited edition, or a custom experience related to the project. This isn't Best Buy — rewards aren't shrink-wrapped and ready to ship. Once the project is funded, the journey to bring them to life begins.
-
All-or-nothing funding.
Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline.
If the project succeeds
in reaching its funding goal
all backers' credit cards are charged
when
time expires.
If the project falls short no one is charged.
Since our launch in April 2009, more than 20,000 creative projects
have been successfully funded by awesome people from around the world.
But Kickstarter is about much more than money...
-
The big picture.
People come to Kickstarter to build community around their projects. It's inspiring to be supported by people you know, and amazing to connect with strangers who are discovering your ideas for the first time.
The feedback, press, and love that can come with
a Kickstarter project are just as valuable as the money raised. Ask anyone who's done it before. There's nothing like it.

Thank you so much DimpleBuns!
I grabbed your widge and am going to help you out! I know it's alittle late, but I have posted it everywhere!
Thank you Cinella! I'm getting excited! I know we can do this! We may be the minority in diapering, but not for long! All good changes start somewhere! I'm excited to be part of this change!
OH Jamie... so excited to see all the backers! I will continue to spread the word! I also posted again on my blog.
Good luck!!! I hope this launches!!
Thank you Carrie! That's great!
Hi Jamie! I think your book idea is a great one and I would love to see it happen! Today I shared your kickstarter project on Facebook (in two places), with my mommy group (60 members), on my twitter, and on my blog! I hope this helps you get some more backers before 9/15! Good luck!
Yes! You CAN use a PayPal Debit Card!!! :-)
Yes, you can use a PayPal debit card!!
I think...... lol.
You can use a Paypal debit card though!
NOTE FOR ALL -- Kickstarter accepts all major credit cards, so if you have a debit card through paypal (free through all paypal accounts) you can pay with that. Otherwise, Kickstarter uses Amazon because they allow your card to not be charged unless the project launches. Paypal does not have that feature yet, although I believe they are working on it.
I think this is super fun... I will contact you about backing it because I want to be able to use paypal.
OMG! This is an awesome project. I would love to be apart of it, sending you some pictures. This would be both a piece of art as well as an educational book to get more parents to see cloth diapers in action! I will be donating soon, best of luck!
