I strongly believe Kickstarters will work better if you review your intent from a consumer's perspective. You not only need to believe in your product but you need to look at your product --a difficult task-- through the eyes of someone who knows nothing of it, and figure out how you can get that person to both be interested in your product (a big step in and of itself) and more importantly: willing to trust you, which is a serious hurdle.A Touch More Class gets 9450% over its asking price because people trust ENworld and Morrus. We know they deliver, they do it on time, we've seen it happen. Most of the time the factor that stops me from Kickstarting is lack of evidence of deliverables: no prior Kickstarters and/or no prior products in some other medium = no deal. I may want to back it, but my KS experience as a consumer has been that failure is almost certain if the Kickstarter has no prior history of deliverables, period. Even if they manage to deliver something, it may be rife with disappointment. So: if you want to stick something on Kickstarter, you need to think about how to both show and win trust. Schemes do the opposite of this.</blockquote>
