Of those that have funded, 42% raised between $1,000 and $10,000 dollars. Only 8% have raised over $100k, and the competition continues to grow with nearly 500 games competing for pledges each month!

Follow My Journey - Episode 2
Fresh from the PGA Show in Orlando, we're excited about another big week here at Kickstarter Coach. We made a lot of great contacts at the PGA show and also had some unexpected setbacks in our UK/EU shipping for the last TGA Kickstarter campaign. We discuss how we dealt with this, and also discuss some pointers on your Kickstarter page and collecting emails before sharing the link to follow your campaign. If you're planning your own Kickstarter Launch, make sure to follow my journey here, so you can set yourself up to succeed.
