Over the last 2 years, I have worked on 2 successful Kickstarter campaigns (Cornish Smuggler<\/a> & Waggle Dance<\/a>, raising over \u00a350,000 in total) with Grublin Games<\/a> (an indie boardgame publisher based in Cornwall) which has involved a fair amount of research into different approaches to using Kickstarter<\/a>. In that time, it has also become more usual for artists and arts organisations to use crowdfunding as a way to raise money for their projects.<\/p>\n

However, boardgamers and artists seem to use crowdfunding platforms (and here I’m including platforms like IndieGoGo<\/a>, Crowdfunder<\/a> and Sponsume<\/a> too) in quite different ways, leading to a very different type of user-experience and very different levels of financial success. In this series of posts I would like to highlight some of lessons artists could learn from the world of crowd-funded boardgames…<\/p>\n

1) Use Kickstarter as a distribution model & a tool to gauge interest<\/a><\/p>\n

2) Stop thinking of Kickstarter as a platform for donations<\/a><\/p>\n

3) Use Kickstarter to create a new community around your project<\/a><\/p>\n

4) Develop arts projects where a Kickstarter campaign is an integral part rather than an afterthought<\/a><\/p>\n

5) Focus on your timescale and actually delivering<\/a><\/p>\n

6) Use Kickstarter as a way to generate excitement about your arts practice
\n<\/a>(to launch something new, give a worldwide exposure to your work and find new audiences for your work)<\/p>\n

7) Some people are never going to back things on Kickstarter<\/a><\/p>\n
