Pre-launch marketing (including mobilizing one\u2019s personal contacts) can greatly boost a project\u2019s popularity rankings on its launch day.  2. Kickstarter\u2019s Trending (or Popular) page ranks campaigns primarily on recent backers-per-day, but also on other factors like conversion rates, video embeds, and video plays, but not on funds raised.  3. Kickstarter\u2019s Magic algorithm is its default way to sort projects; it seemingly depends upon many complicated factors, and is highly volatile.  4. Kickstarter\u2019s Projects We Love include campaigns that have found favor with one of Kickstarter\u2019s many employees, and this subjective status can sometimes attract tens-of-thousands of dollars in additional pledges.  5. Higher rankings increase platform visibility, which draws more \u201corganic\u201d traffic, which synergizes with traffic from marketing to magnify pledges.  6. Facebook ads are easier to optimize and\/or scale than Google ads.  7. Most crowdfunding backers are not first-timers but have backed other projects previously. \u270d\ufe0f Click here for this episode\u2019s complete show notes! ---------------------------------------------------------------- \ud83d\udc49 We want to help as many people as we can; so, if this podcast helps you, then we urge you to please\u2026  \u2022 Subscribe to it on our website so that you don't miss an episode!  \u2022 Discuss it in our private Facebook group with us and fellow entrepreneurs!
