| 00:00:00 | 00:00:04 | I realized today done is better than |
| 00:00:01 | 00:00:05 | perfect today I'm helping Arianna my |
| 00:00:04 | 00:00:08 | girlfriend right over there launched a |
| 00:00:05 | 00:00:10 | Kickstarter for her passion product vino |
| 00:00:08 | 00:00:12 | cards there's only a few days left until |
| 00:00:10 | 00:00:13 | we actually launched the Kickstarter so |
| 00:00:12 | 00:00:16 | I'm going to show you everything you |
| 00:00:13 | 00:00:18 | need to do before you actually finalize |
| 00:00:16 | 00:00:19 | and launch a Kickstarter let's get into |
| 00:00:18 | 00:00:27 | the tactiks |
| 00:00:28 | 00:00:32 | so the first thing we're gonna do is go |
| 00:00:30 | 00:00:34 | over to one of my favorite little coffee |
| 00:00:32 | 00:00:36 | shops and do some planning figure out |
| 00:00:34 | 00:00:37 | what we're gonna actually do for the day |
| 00:00:36 | 00:00:39 | but right now the rough idea is we |
| 00:00:37 | 00:00:42 | needed to film some more for the |
| 00:00:39 | 00:00:45 | campaign video we need to actually write |
| 00:00:42 | 00:00:47 | out the entire sales letter of like the |
| 00:00:45 | 00:00:49 | actual Kickstarter like sales copy |
| 00:00:47 | 00:00:50 | basically all the words on the page got |
| 00:00:49 | 00:00:52 | to take some photos for the product and |
| 00:00:50 | 00:00:54 | we got to write out like the emails that |
| 00:00:52 | 00:00:56 | we're gonna send leading up to the |
| 00:00:54 | 00:00:58 | launch of the campaign and some other |
| 00:00:56 | 00:01:00 | things that we'll tok about later but |
| 00:00:58 | 00:01:20 | basically pretty much everything we |
| 00:01:00 | 00:01:22 | still have to do so the platino cards is |
| 00:01:20 | 00:01:24 | pretty much to do the same thing I did |
| 00:01:22 | 00:01:26 | with performance nut butter it's |
| 00:01:24 | 00:01:28 | basically come up with an idea for like |
| 00:01:26 | 00:01:30 | a unique product something that doesn't |
| 00:01:28 | 00:01:32 | exist in the market and then build a |
| 00:01:30 | 00:01:35 | tribe build some kind of a launch group |
| 00:01:32 | 00:01:37 | and I use Facebook for this in Instagram |
| 00:01:35 | 00:01:38 | to get people into the launch group had |
| 00:01:37 | 00:01:40 | a whole campaign I have other videos |
| 00:01:38 | 00:01:42 | toking about that and then from there |
| 00:01:40 | 00:01:44 | the goal is to launch it on Kickstarter |
| 00:01:42 | 00:01:46 | or like an IndieGoGo some kind of |
| 00:01:44 | 00:01:47 | crowdfunding and then the next step |
| 00:01:46 | 00:01:49 | ultimately is going to be to create it |
| 00:01:47 | 00:01:52 | into a real product and bring it to |
| 00:01:49 | 00:01:54 | Amazon do the Amazon FBA thing so that's |
| 00:01:52 | 00:01:56 | what we've been working on today there's |
| 00:01:54 | 00:01:58 | still a lot of things I think we |
| 00:01:56 | 00:02:00 | underestimated how much was left to do |
| 00:01:58 | 00:02:04 | we still have to write out all the the |
| 00:02:00 | 00:02:06 | copy for the Kickstarter still have to |
| 00:02:04 | 00:02:08 | finalize the video and we realized we |
| 00:02:06 | 00:02:09 | didn't submit it so one of the things |
| 00:02:08 | 00:02:11 | that's important with the Kickstarter's |
| 00:02:09 | 00:02:14 | you have to submit it three days before |
| 00:02:11 | 00:02:16 | for review and approval so hopefully we |
| 00:02:14 | 00:02:19 | get approved in time if not we might end |
| 00:02:16 | 00:02:21 | up having to go to IndieGoGo and as a |
| 00:02:19 | 00:02:23 | side note if you're watching this video |
| 00:02:21 | 00:02:25 | about time this videos released me know |
| 00:02:23 | 00:02:26 | cards will be live I'm go to be enough |
| 00:02:25 | 00:02:28 | cards calm there's a link up here or |
| 00:02:26 | 00:02:30 | down below it'll forward you to the |
| 00:02:28 | 00:02:32 | Kickstarter or the IndieGoGo page and |
| 00:02:30 | 00:02:34 | you can see in real time how much we |
| 00:02:32 | 00:02:36 | actually raised but still have a lot |
| 00:02:34 | 00:02:38 | left to do today since we forgot to get |
| 00:02:36 | 00:02:39 | approval for our Kickstarter website as |
| 00:02:38 | 00:02:40 | I mentioned you know they need to |
| 00:02:39 | 00:02:41 | approve it |
| 00:02:40 | 00:02:44 | first we're gonna hurry up and get |
| 00:02:41 | 00:02:46 | version like 1.0 out of the Kickstarter |
| 00:02:44 | 00:02:48 | page so we're taking just some quick |
| 00:02:46 | 00:02:51 | photos over here just as like some |
| 00:02:48 | 00:02:53 | temporary image we're doing the video |
| 00:02:51 | 00:02:54 | even though it's not done yet or putting |
| 00:02:53 | 00:02:56 | that up and we're gonna go ahead and |
| 00:02:54 | 00:02:58 | upload that and try to get it approved |
| 00:02:56 | 00:02:59 | by Kickstarter right away because we're |
| 00:02:58 | 00:03:01 | launching in just a few days and it |
| 00:02:59 | 00:03:02 | usually takes two to three business days |
| 00:03:01 | 00:03:04 | to get approved we're also gonna be |
| 00:03:02 | 00:03:06 | doing some more planning as we did at |
| 00:03:04 | 00:03:07 | the coffee shop we did some planning of |
| 00:03:06 | 00:03:09 | what we're gonna be doing for the day |
| 00:03:07 | 00:03:10 | and since we're on such a tight you know |
| 00:03:09 | 00:03:12 | timeframe |
| 00:03:10 | 00:03:14 | I think planning is extremely important |
| 00:03:12 | 00:03:16 | that's something I did a lot like every |
| 00:03:14 | 00:03:18 | week we would go to a coffee shop for |
| 00:03:16 | 00:03:19 | the launch of performance nut butter I'd |
| 00:03:18 | 00:03:21 | planned what am I going to be doing that |
| 00:03:19 | 00:03:23 | week and when you're trying to do |
| 00:03:21 | 00:03:25 | something big like that I think it's |
| 00:03:23 | 00:03:27 | very helpful to figure out alright |
| 00:03:25 | 00:03:29 | here's my launch date and then let's |
| 00:03:27 | 00:03:30 | work backwards and figure okay well by |
| 00:03:29 | 00:03:32 | this point I need to have this done by |
| 00:03:30 | 00:03:34 | this in the other point I need to have |
| 00:03:32 | 00:03:36 | something else done so we're we planned |
| 00:03:34 | 00:03:38 | in the morning and now that we got you |
| 00:03:36 | 00:03:40 | know a lot of it done we're gonna go do |
| 00:03:38 | 00:03:41 | a little bit of planning again over |
| 00:03:40 | 00:03:42 | lunch and figure out okay well what else |
| 00:03:41 | 00:03:44 | do we need to get done by the end of the |
| 00:03:42 | 00:03:46 | day because a few things change like we |
| 00:03:44 | 00:03:48 | realized we need to reprint out the card |
| 00:03:46 | 00:03:51 | we need to come up with like a better |
| 00:03:48 | 00:04:21 | image for the Kickstarter image and |
| 00:03:51 | 00:04:23 | there's a lot more things we need to |
| 00:04:21 | 00:04:25 | take a quick midday break at the park |
| 00:04:23 | 00:04:27 | it's a beautiful day and it's you know I |
| 00:04:25 | 00:04:29 | think you spent too much time inside and |
| 00:04:27 | 00:04:31 | you can start going a little crazy so |
| 00:04:29 | 00:04:33 | it's good to just get out and lay out |
| 00:04:31 | 00:04:34 | for a second but we'll still probably |
| 00:04:33 | 00:04:36 | brought our computers just in case and |
| 00:04:34 | 00:04:38 | we're gonna work on the product |
| 00:04:36 | 00:04:40 | description a little bit which take some |
| 00:04:38 | 00:04:42 | creativity so I think it's good to take |
| 00:04:40 | 00:04:44 | a break go back to something and figure |
| 00:04:42 | 00:04:46 | out hey how can this be improved so we |
| 00:04:44 | 00:04:48 | got a temporary title we got a temporary |
| 00:04:46 | 00:04:50 | image temporary video temporary |
| 00:04:48 | 00:04:51 | description everything after really |
| 00:04:50 | 00:04:54 | stressing out to try to get that done |
| 00:04:51 | 00:04:57 | today we submitted it and we instantly |
| 00:04:54 | 00:04:59 | got approved which is kind of nice that |
| 00:04:57 | 00:05:00 | relieves a lot of the stress I thought |
| 00:04:59 | 00:05:02 | that it was gonna be 2 to 3 days before |
| 00:05:00 | 00:05:04 | we got approved but it ended up being an |
| 00:05:02 | 00:05:06 | instant approval which means that we're |
| 00:05:04 | 00:05:09 | on track to launch for this coming |
| 00:05:06 | 00:05:11 | Tuesday June 5th the coming Tuesday June |
| 00:05:09 | 00:05:13 | 5th but on this videos live that it will |
| 00:05:11 | 00:05:15 | be the Kickstarter will be live so once |
| 00:05:13 | 00:05:16 | again go to be no cards , check that out |
| 00:05:15 | 00:05:18 | so we're almost ready to launch today we |
| 00:05:16 | 00:05:21 | did a lot of work we did the product |
| 00:05:18 | 00:05:23 | description we edited some parts of the |
| 00:05:21 | 00:05:25 | video we got the images for the whole |
| 00:05:23 | 00:05:28 | like the whole Kickstarter page happened |
| 00:05:25 | 00:05:29 | today in fact like arianna we have two |
| 00:05:28 | 00:05:30 | miscommunication |
| 00:05:29 | 00:05:32 | she didn't realize that it needed to be |
| 00:05:30 | 00:05:34 | submitted ahead of time obviously |
| 00:05:32 | 00:05:36 | everything turned out okay but like what |
| 00:05:34 | 00:05:40 | were some of the big lessons you learned |
| 00:05:36 | 00:05:43 | today definitely number one is just |
| 00:05:40 | 00:05:44 | doing thorough research everything just |
| 00:05:43 | 00:05:46 | make sure that you're looking at |
| 00:05:44 | 00:05:48 | everything beforehand so if there any |
| 00:05:46 | 00:05:50 | deadlines as far as what Kickstarter |
| 00:05:48 | 00:05:52 | needs from you before here making sure |
| 00:05:50 | 00:05:54 | that you have enough time to complete |
| 00:05:52 | 00:05:57 | everything before your launch date |
| 00:05:54 | 00:06:00 | secondly it's just me getting it started |
| 00:05:57 | 00:06:00 | like just start working on something and |
| 00:06:00 | 00:06:03 | every |
| 00:06:00 | 00:06:04 | also kind of just blow into a plane and |
| 00:06:03 | 00:06:06 | I think one of the big reoccurring |
| 00:06:04 | 00:06:09 | themes from today is done is better than |
| 00:06:06 | 00:06:11 | perfect like you saw a lot of us editing |
| 00:06:09 | 00:06:13 | things and you know we're trying to make |
| 00:06:11 | 00:06:14 | everything perfect but at the end of the |
| 00:06:13 | 00:06:16 | day it's like let's just get it done and |
| 00:06:14 | 00:06:18 | by setting a deadline I think is one of |
| 00:06:16 | 00:06:20 | the biggest things you can do if you set |
| 00:06:18 | 00:06:21 | a deadline and say hey it needs to be |
| 00:06:20 | 00:06:22 | it's going to be launched like we've |
| 00:06:21 | 00:06:24 | been telling people it's gonna be |
