THERE'S A LOT MORE TO CROWDFUNDING THEN HAVING A GOOD IDEA
The Truth About Kickstarter
Did you know that each month on Kickstarter, over 500 board games are launched! Many of them are by established companies and designers, so how are you going to compete?
The Odds of Succeeding
55% of the games funded on Kickstarter raise between $1,000 and $10,000 dollars. Less than 1% of first time designers raise over $100k
The Keys to Success
It takes a lot more than a great game to be successful on Kickstarter. As a client, I will provide you with a workbook, and then together we will look at all the keys to success, and make sure that you are actually ready to launch:
- Kickstarter campaign page
- Pledge Levels
- Stretch Goals
- Email Marketing
- Social Media Advertising
- Video and Images
- Production and Manufacturing
- Fulfillment
- Website and Landing pages
One-On-One Coaching
This is not a course, or webinar, this is me coaching you one-on-one. We look at everything together, take the good, improve the bad, and throw out the ugly!
1 Hour Per Week
I offer my clients a full hour each week, for 30-days leading up to your launch. For this reason, I can only select a few new clients each month, so I can devote as much time and energy as possible.
Additional Resources
In addition to the coaching, I offer Kickstarter Campaign page design, social media ad campaign set-up and email marketing set-up and automation services. See 'About' to learn more.

What Clients Are Saying
John Garcia is an exceptional Kickstarter coach. His strategic guidance was instrumental in the success of our campaign for Escape Comics: The Alien Ship. From pre-launch preparation to the final hours, his insights were spot-on. If you want a coach who understands the intricacies of crowdfunding and delivers real results, I highly recommend John.
