Garden Master Course Kickstarter Page

We will give you as many ref codes as you like.  And our kickback program is VERY generous!

   20% for $500 to $10,000

   30% for $10,000 or more

* note, if you bring in $11,111, then you get 30% on the whole amount (not 20% on the first $10,000).  So $3333.


Reply to this thread if you want a referral code.



Some ideas of places to share:
    - local mailing lists
    - your own mailing list
    - Facebook pages/groups
    - twitter
    - pinterest, instagram, youtube ... lots of other social media stuff
    - your own website
    - your own podcast
    - forums
    - your current or previous kickstarter supporters
    - your client/customer list
    - the resources of somebody you know and you can split the pot!
    - other creative places you come up with

If you're a non-profit organization (or even if you're not) and use kickback codes, you could share this project and say something like "these guys have agreed to give us a percentage of every pledge that supports through this link!"

To make it easy, we wrote some copy/pastable texts and images over here for you to use lickity-splickity:

People love images and media!
We'll be adding media to this thread as we get it all shiny, and they are free to use as widely as you wish!
Please feel very welcome to use any of the images on this page, on the kickstarter thread, the youtube video


Here's stuff you can copy/paste to promote!  We want you to have a hugely successful endeavor, so let us know what you could use!!

Ref codes will be available when the campaign is live, and we will hammer them out literally the second we start the campaign.  Which, hopefully, will be in the next 2-3 weeks!  

To get to that point, we need title/blurb help, then we'll start working on the story!

Any particular kinds of images you'd like for us to make for you to be able to share and promote?

We're going to start dropping images and copy-pastable text for you all to use in promoting!  Feedback welcome one what you'd like to see / what you think would be useful / what you're finding successful as the campaign moves along!

Here's a nice transparency banner for starters:

I think we are nearly ready.  So I am now willing to say that the kickstarter will start


      tuesday at 2

Kickstarter does not allow us to create the ref codes until the kickstarter is started.  And the first hour is a crazy zoo.  But we are going to try to do our very best to get everybody here their ref codes in the first two hours.  Hopefully in the first hour.

You might want to tell your peeps about the earlybird stuff right away.  Some people will wait a day to open an email.  

You might tell your audience now that there is a kickstarter coming and they might want to get ready to open your stuff quickly.


BUT!

I want you to make lots of coin with this kickstarter, so I must tell you:  if you direct people to the kickstarter preview page and people click on "notify me on launch" then you will NOT get the kickback that comes with using the ref code later.  So as much as I like the "notify me on launch" thing for lots and lots of reasons, if your mission is to harvest some kickback coin, you will want to not tell your peeps about this.  Instead, simply say that there is a kickstarter that is starting on tuesday and watch for the info that you will share then.

Mountain time, correct?

Are there any graphics available to use on promotional blog and social media posts?

There are a few above.  There are more coming.  Is there anything in particular that you want?

Like a vertically oriented thing?

How would this work:



I adjusted the width to 350 in the code - not sure how that works on your blog.

Hmm. I have no idea what the length parameter is, but I think it would stay full size at 350 x 350.

I think I asked for codes already! So I think I'm set there. However, do we use one code per person or does the same code work for an unlimited amount of people I get to participate?

Good night. Drive safely. Here's a tiny ad for the road:
