Basically, as I’ve seen it so far, a pre-order campaign is a tremendous amount of work. It’s probably the most work-intensive route to publishing there is, during its duration. But that reward waiting at the end is so worth it, you have to go for it. Build up steam and keep pressing forward. Don’t give an inch of ground. Take two steps forward every time you take a step backward. Then, when you start making serious progress, keep pushing: don’t succumb to complacency. It’ll feel like an impossible task, but keep in mind that it’s not for forever, and remember what you’re pushing for and why you want it so much.
I’m sure launching a new campaign after a previous one fails is starting from a point of discouragement, but look at the positives: you’ve already learned some things that work and don’t work, you’ve already done a ton of networking, you’ve put yourself out there and made your story known. You have a chance to learn from all your mistakes and already have a sizeable following, so you’re starting your second campaign with a big headstart over last time.

And YES, I also put an advanced copy of my book Rune of the Apprentice next to it to so any discouraged funding Inkshares author can see what happens when you...

NEVER SURRENDER! 

So, fellow Inksharians, let this be your funding battle cry as you get pre-orders for your books!

"We shall not flag or fail, we shall go on to the end! We shall campaign with growing confidence and strength! We shall hit our funding goal and we shall never surrender! For we are Inkshares authors!"

p.s. the Inkshares team is here, dedicated, and ready to publish your book once you hit your funding goal! They are ready, Inksharian, are you?!
