I share a name with a fish. This has probably influenced me, but I don’t know how.

Nah - never here too often :)
There are a few discussions on here about tactics and what works. You should also look at the Goodreads Inkshares community which was created to focus on how to run successful campaigns. There are lots of discussions there.

I haven’t run my campaign yet, so I can’t talk with authority on what works, but can parrot back some of what I have read / been told:

1. Most of your orders for the campaign - especially the early orders, will need to come from your own network and directly contacting people. You typically won’t see many strangers ordering until you get some momentum.

2. Comments I have seen suggest that a book trailer video on your page really can help.

3. Very mixed and limited results seem to be reported by people doing give-aways etc.

Personally answering your question? None of the above. I’ve seen you pop up in the forums and have noted your project to check out. But there is so much going on in the community, plus a mad rush to get my entry in the Launchpad Competition, that my backlog has growing kinda long.

Good luck with the campaign - I hope it succeeds. I do plan on checking it out before the end of the period!
