Over the past several years writer Caleb Palmquist has been on a mission to discover through trial and error what works for him when it comes to crowdfunding his creative projects. In the process, he’s had to let go of some things that simply weren’t working and learn what does work on Kickstarter from some of the top creators on the platform. As a result, he’s in the midst of his best launch yet for Unicorn: Vampire Hunter #1-5!
Highlights of This Session Include:
- How it wasn’t until a big failure on Kickstarter that Caleb’s comic career really took off and the crucial lessons he learned from that experience.
- The power of having your comic’s pitch being right in the title.
- Some of the top Kickstarter strategies Caleb has “stolen” from other great comic writers having big success on Kickstarter.
- Plus: Caleb’s tips for connecting with other comic creator crowdfunders and why that is so important for growth.
