Jamison Stone liked the forum thread, Trying to drive buyers
The most tried and true way of getting big numbers is to reach out to every individual in your circle directly. After that, it can be a big help to get an influential friend/family member or two to do some reaching out on your behalf.
There are dozens of other avenues to consider, but their success rate really depends on the individual. Some people are great at pitching to strangers in a coffee shop/comic book store. Other people are able to turn their twitter followers into buyers. Not many people are able to get press coverage, but those who have typically get some mileage from it. You know your skill sets and abilities best, so this is the time to test their limits.
Definitely check out the older posts on the goodreads forum, as there is a TON of advice on there from successfully funded authors.

        Hello backers! I am so thrilled to give you the exclusive first look at the final "Dracula vs. Hitler" cover!

        The artists and editors at Inkshares perfectly capture my vision for the book, I am incredibly grateful for their attention to detail and know this design will help the book stand out on shelves and in your homes. I hope you will agree.

          Before the age of reason and science, magic ruled the world. Now, it’s coming back and if most of humanity gets wiped out in the process....well, sometimes you have to break a few eggs.
