We just passed 5k in sales on our store today with 2,868 visitors! This is by far our best single day post-Kickstarter and is actually higher than the average funding / day we had through our entire campaign! Thanks so much everyone who shared this!

I guess all you have to do is spend all your money, work for a year to get it back, and then write about it.

Next week, I'll make another post with all the graphs/numbers from this, crazy-ass day, and how long it took to return to normal. I can't imagine it will rank again, so you can follow @JohnTeasdale_ or @ContenderGame if you don't want to miss it.

That's a good point, I can switch the FastCompany quote with the boing boing one.

Oh, I'm not trying to make the case that it's impossible. Just that it seems a lot easier than it is. Most people coming out of a Kickstarter wont have several thousand dollars to figure out how to say "This hoodie, created by a mom, is over 1,000,000 on Kickstarter".

Amazon has worse margins than our online store already. The way I see it. We can drop the price, but we still have to market it. It'd be just as much work to market a $5 as it would a $30 game.

Haha, you got it!

We definitely over-reached. You could also call it greed, naiveté, or ignorance. However, I don't think we failed. There were a lot of hard lessons, but it's been over a year of work and we have a small buisiness company that's actually making money by selling a physical thing. I'm really proud of that.

Will do.

Yep. You're 100% right. At the time, we didn't know the questions we needed to ask or who to ask them to.

It's been a helluva day, I'm going to update the article in a few days to account for this.

Haha, thank you!

Will do!

Thanks!

Exactly, we're very happy with Kickstarter.
