This year's kickback program is much, much simpler:


    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.


Go ahead and 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!"

Thanks for the kickback code!  Sorry if I'm asking a stupid question about something that is readily available in another thread. I'm traveling right now and using my tablet which I hate instead of my laptop. I feel even more cyber handicapped than usual.

Are their any square format images available which are free to use in promoting the Kickstarter on my social media accounts?

Awesome. Thanks Mike. Oddly, I saw those before but couldn't get my #%$##$ tablet to grab the images so I thought they weren’t accessible. Just now it seemed to work fine. Now let's see if I can drum up some more support!

Okay, so I'm willing to break my F/b fast to promote this Kick there, especially to the homeschooling community. I'm out in the boonies now, but I came here from Toronto, where there's a pretty vibrant community

It seems tough to get even to 500.
I would like to try to put few links and see how it works. A bit too late though ;-)

Here's your link! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/paulwheaton/skip-0?ref=b0r0ff

And, things tend to grow a lot in the last days of the kickstarter, so you might be pleasantly surprised!

For fun, you can see how things went with the Greenhouse Kickstarter's kickbacks,  and also the Better World Book kickbacks (it looks like that thread didn't get updated as often).

If people would like to know how many have supported with their kickback link, I can provide that info, too!
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://stoves2.com
