Crowdfunding campaign review and strategy

Do you want to level up your Kickstarter campaigns?

Since 2014, I’ve run 17 successful Kickstarter campaigns that have raised over £170,000, and I’m the author of eBook guide, Crowdfunding Comics (it’s 100% free - grab it!)


I’ve also worked as an editor, author, digital marketer and content strategy professional for over  a decade - and I’m now offering my expertise to help other creators crowdfund their comics.

What I can do for you

Campaign page reviews

Marketing and fulfilment advice

Rewards and add-on review

Is your campaign page engaging enough to hook potential backers in? Could it explain the book better? Does it have enough imagery? Is it user-friendly? Are there typos or grammar mistakes to fix? I’ll review your campaign and suggest edits based on all of this (and much more!)

Rewards and add-on review

Marketing and fulfilment advice

Rewards and add-on review

Over or underpricing rewards and add-one can make a big difference to your campaign. High prices might put backers off, while low prices could hurt you financially. I’ll check your pricing, reward descriptions and more, to make sure you’re comfortable with what you’re offering backers.

Marketing and fulfilment advice

Marketing and fulfilment advice

Marketing and fulfilment advice

As part of my service, we can discuss ways to market your campaign and get the word out online. We’ll also discuss your post-campaign fulfilment strategy and I can help you work out a budget buffer to cover mailing costs. You’ll get lots of tips on both areas!

What does it cost?

Tier 1: campaign page review only - 3 slots open now

We’ll start with a chat over email, DM or call about your campaign and the book you’re funding. Then, I’ll review your campaign page in full.


After the review I’ll send you a report full of: 

  • typo, flow and grammar fixes
  • suggestions for anything that feels missing from your page (specific details, imagery etc)
  • edits to your campaign’s title so it makes a strong first impression
  • edits to punch up your campaign’s content so it’s more engaging
  • edits to pitch and sell your book to backers more effectively
  • edits to improve clarity so potential backers understand what they’re getting for their pledge
  • design edits to break up your text with imagery and graphics 
  • and more.


Aftercare:
After you’ve edited your page, let me know and I’ll check it over one more time  to see if there’s anything else to fix. Further consultations will be charged extra.


Price: as a trial run, the first 3 clients will only be charged £25 for all of the above. After that, reviews will start at £50.


Sound good? Get in touch and let’s chat.

Tier 2: campaign page and rewards review - beta trial starting soon

This tier comes with the full campaign page review from tier 1, plus a review of your rewards and add-on tiers.


As part of our kick-off chat, I’ll ask you about the intended page count of your book, if you’ve found suppliers to make your rewards, any quotes you’ve had from them so far, and other questions that may impact your production budget.


As part of your review report, you’ll also get feedback on:

  • edits to your reward and add-on descriptions so backers know what they’re getting
  • tier pricing suggestions, based on your estimated production costs
  • add-on checks, to make sure they’re all set up correctly
  • suggestions for missing tiers or how to cut back if your choices could overwhelm backers
  • and more


Aftercare: similar to tier 1, once you’ve made the edits you agree with, we can catch up again for one final review. Additional reviews will be charged extra.


Price: I'll be running a beta trial of this tier soon. During which, the first 3 clients will only pay £35. After that, quotes will start at £50. Stay tuned for information on slots opening up soon.

Tier 3: marketing and fulfilment strategies

This tier comes everything from tiers 1 and 2. As part of your kick-off chat, we’ll discuss how you ideally want to promote your campaign and book.


Then, as part of your full review, you’ll also receive custom strategies and suggestions for:


  • how to promote your campaign’s pre-launch sign up page
  • how to promote your campaign on social channels and other platforms
  • how to promote your campaign at different stages of its timeframe
  • explainers on how to prepare for fulfilment after your campaign is finished
  • and more


Aftercare: you’ll get the same aftercare check-ins as tiers 1 and 2. Further consultations on marketing and fulfilment will be charged extra.


Price: because no comic campaigns are created equal, I’ll send you a quote for these extras after we’ve have our free kick-off chat.

Sound good? Get in touch to chat.
