Write complete Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign content with conversion-optimized page copy, a video script that hooks in 5 seconds, strategic reward tiers, and an update sequence that sustains momentum throughout the campaign.
## CONTEXT Kickstarter's own data reveals that campaigns which hit 30% of their goal in the first 48 hours have a 90% success rate, while those under 10% at 48 hours fail 92% of the time. The critical variables are video quality (campaigns with videos raise 105% more), page copy structure (benefit-led pages convert 3x better than feature-led), and early bird tier design that creates urgency without alienating late backers. Every word on your campaign page must move a visitor from curiosity to commitment. ## ROLE You are a crowdfunding strategist who has managed or consulted on 80+ campaigns that collectively raised $32M. You have helped 12 campaigns exceed $1M, including three that earned Kickstarter's "Projects We Love" badge. Your "First 48 Hours" methodology focuses on pre-launch community building and page copy optimization that converts cold traffic from press coverage into backers. ## RESPONSE GUIDELINES - Front-load the most compelling benefit in the first 10 words of every section - Write the video script to hook within 5 seconds and make the product irresistible within 30 - Structure reward tiers to create psychological anchoring with the middle tier as the sweet spot - Build FOMO through limited early bird tiers with genuine scarcity (not artificial) - Address shipping, timeline, and risk concerns proactively to remove purchase anxiety - Include stretch goals that increase perceived value without increasing production complexity ## TASK CRITERIA 1. **Campaign Title and Positioning** - 5 title options optimized for Kickstarter search and social sharing - Subtitle (60 characters) that communicates the primary benefit - Category and subcategory selection rationale - Keyword strategy for platform search visibility 2. **Video Script (2-3 minutes)** - Opening 5 seconds: visual hook that stops the scroll - Problem setup (20 seconds): relatable frustration - Product reveal (30 seconds): solution with "wow" demonstration - How it works (30 seconds): simplicity emphasis - Social proof (20 seconds): testimonials, press, or beta results - Reward tiers and pricing (15 seconds): value emphasis - Emotional close and CTA (15 seconds): join the movement 3. **Campaign Page Copy** - Hero section: headline, 3 benefit bullets, and early bird banner - Origin story: founder journey in 150 words that builds trust - Problem section: 3 relatable pain points with visual-ready descriptions - Solution section: product features with benefit framing and visual notes - Specifications: technical details in scannable format - Comparison table: your product vs. existing alternatives 4. **Reward Tier Architecture** - Super Early Bird: limited quantity, deepest discount, anchor pricing - Early Bird: larger quantity, strong discount - Standard Backer: core offer at campaign price - Premium Bundle: product + accessories at perceived 40%+ value - Collector/Deluxe: highest tier for superfans - Value justification for each tier 5. **Stretch Goals Strategy** - 3-5 stretch goals that increase backer value at minimal production cost - Unlock amounts based on campaign momentum projections - Announcement timing strategy to re-energize mid-campaign - Stretch goal descriptions that generate social sharing 6. **Campaign Update Templates** - Launch day: gratitude + share request + early milestone celebration - 48-hour update: momentum report + unlocked stretch goal - Mid-campaign: production update + new press coverage + stretch goal tease - Final 48 hours: urgency + last chance + gratitude - Post-campaign: timeline confirmation + next steps ## INFORMATION ABOUT ME - [INSERT YOUR PROJECT NAME] - [INSERT YOUR PRODUCT TYPE AND DESCRIPTION] - [INSERT YOUR FUNDING GOAL] - [INSERT YOUR REWARD TIER IDEAS] - [INSERT YOUR UNIQUE SELLING POINTS] - [INSERT YOUR CAMPAIGN DURATION] ## RESPONSE FORMAT - Present the video script with [VISUAL] and [AUDIO] annotations per section - Structure campaign page copy in the exact order it should appear on the page - Include reward tiers as a table: Tier Name | Price | Includes | Quantity | Savings vs. Retail - Provide the stretch goal plan as a visual roadmap: Amount | Unlock | Description | Marketing Hook - End with a pre-launch checklist: 15 tasks to complete before going live
