The kickstarter is not going as well as we originally planned. A lot of people who said they were going to pledge before the project began or throughout (and are still saying it in some cases) have not. This was supposed to build up a decent base for our campaign, which would give us an aura of legitimacy at the very least. Unfortunately, several people didn't come through early on or at all and now we are struggling to reach our goal.
We still have time left, so it isn't a 100% lost cause, but things are looking bleaker as time goes by and we aren't making any real progress on the total (especially since a couple of backers have pulled out). I've exhausted all of my options, local, online, local comic community, business cards and flyers in widely seen locations, borderline (or not borderline) spamming of facebook and message boards. We have currently 723 likes on the page, but only 17 backers. Which begs the question: how can that many people visit the page, like it, and say, 'Eh... no need to help out with even $1'?
Like our facebook page to stay up to date on BPG news if you wish, I may have a couple of ideas up may sleeve if the kickstarter doesn't reach it's goal. On a personal level I really needed this. Things are going a little south with my job job, and it's not something I want to do forever. This was at least something I could focus on and maybe make moderately successful. Maybe it will can be.
Share the page with your facebook friends and email contacts. Help us out and if we hit our funding, I'll throw something nice in it for you (once we hit our goal). Thanks again for the support so far. I greatly appreciate it.
