Our Kickstarter campaign is finally over. It was a lot of work, but really successful on a number of levels. Thank you to everyone who supported us and backed the project!

Now, we're taking some time to digest everything we've learned.

The biggest takeaway? Clarity of purpose and messaging is everything.

Today we're discussing how Kickstarter helped us find our core purpose and refine our messaging to bring our project to life. Then, we talk about how we've applied some of those same lessons to our writing life, and how you can too.

It's not just about Kickstarter. We promise.

Question of the Week: What tactics have you found helpful to refine your elevator pitch, whether for a book, project, or your own brand?

Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast on your favorite player! We have some phenomenal new guests coming up, including Dan Blank of We Grow Media, cover designer extraordinaire Mariah Sinclair, and writing community leader Maddie Margarita. You won't want to miss a thing. Stay tuned!
