This is how you do a Kickstarter...

Seems like if you make a product people want, at a price they can afford, then success follows. They set their goal at $50,000. They've already reached almost 10x that. And it's still the FIRST DAY.

Wow.

$300.00.

.... Seems like if you make a product people want, at a price they can afford, then success follows. ...

Completely correct as was pointed out a while ago with the Indiegogo AIRTAME project. $160K sought and in the end over $1.26 million raised. Exact same premiss of affordable product that people want. They also got ALL the money BEFORE delivering anything, although, it did take them a week to raise the first $100K.

They've raised $150,000 in the last four hours...

Now all that's left is for them to successfully produce the product people want!

Over a million dollars now. It looks like a great product. I hope everything goes well for them in production.

i thought of a solution. offer a free 3d printer with each purchase.

Most of pop culture - and all successful campaigns fall under pop culture appeal - is about novelty rather than actual need. As such i'm not sure what we have to learn here.
