EP #556 Unique Strategy to Raise $268,547 on Kickstarter | Memento Mori Skull Bowl
Q: Any final tips or a closing thought for other creators?
Have faith that your project can work, even after years of slow progress, and be willing to invest in pre-launch and audience-building; perseverance and smart use of storytelling and coaching can turn passion into a sustainable practice.
EP #556 Unique Strategy to Raise $268,547 on Kickstarter | Memento Mori Skull Bowl

EP #556 Unique Strategy to Raise $268,547 on Kickstarter | Memento Mori Skull Bowl
Q: What strategies helped you sustain momentum for future campaigns after the viral launch?
Building a pre-launch audience, investing time in high-quality storytelling and visuals, and treating Kickstarter as a storytelling platform as well as a marketplace were key to sustaining growth; testing and iterating over multiple campaigns helped cement longevity.
EP #556 Unique Strategy to Raise $268,547 on Kickstarter | Memento Mori Skull Bowl
Q: Do you think there is a 'secret sauce' to going viral, or is it mostly luck?
It's a bit of both. The story matters, but you must also offer something that resonates deeply with people and present it clearly and efficiently, almost like telling a story on social media that people want to buy into.
EP #556 Unique Strategy to Raise $268,547 on Kickstarter | Memento Mori Skull Bowl
Q: Tell me the story of the live launch and the initial reception from your community.
The launch was surreal: I had only about $2,000 to my name and was in Thailand, but the project went viral and dramatically changed my career, validating the approach and the platform's potential for art.
