From email:

Hi Paul & "gir",

I supported a couple of your Kickstarters- the Rocket Ovens and your book!
And at one point, I sent some Permaculture T's to your staff.

I have now launched my own Kickstarter for a Children's Book "Magical,
Mystical CHAI (And How To DIY!)
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1magicalmysticalchai/childrens-book-magical-mystical-chai-and-how-to-diy

[image: CHAI-small.jpg]

It's bringing natural remedies together with a delicious recipe and fun
illustrations- all before the Holidays! Plus spices info, etc.

I'd love to gain some traction for it through Permies and I'm ready to do a
"Media Rich Thread."

K.H.



Hi Kristie, I'm replying over here so a) folks might see your kickstarter and choose to support you!  and b) other people might benefit from this info.

Your book looks awesome!  I just backed your kickstarter for a signed copy.  No need to mail it though - I frequently drive up to KC to visit family and deliver farm goods.

Your thread is already halfway there . . .  Seems like you might not want to pay one of Paul's people to add a bit of flair, but we can have someone do it, if you want to fork over $200.

I would suggest that you first look over some of these possible avenues first, which will be cheap or free:
getting free or paid promotion: https://permies.com/wiki/20020/Promoting-Stuff-Permies-FREE
thread boost: https://permies.com/wiki/61482/Thread-Boost-feature
As well as some good info in the General Forum How-To's section: https://permies.com/w/how-permies-works

Also, by replying to this thread, you'll get counsel (and eyeballs) from all kinds of people.

Finally, when your book is finished, you may want to consider putting it in our digital market (the digital and/or physical version).

Thanks, and heaps of good luck!  Keep us posted . . .

I think it would be wise to use kickstarter ref codes as much as possible, so you can know where the love came from!

Thanks guys. I really appreciate your input (and backing!)
Gotcha on using the  kickstarter ref codes. And I'm visiting Kicktraq.

I'll try these free options and see how it goes!
Cheers,
Kristie
