You come up with a project, you pitch it to them via a form; they approve it, or not! Then you go shoot a little video (<em>strongly<\/em> recommended but not technically required), come up with rewards for backers, and post it! If you reach your project target, the money gets awarded; if you don&#8217;t, then the money is never charged to the backers, without fees. So projects either get funded completely, or not at all, so you have no half-funded attempts.<\/p>\n<p>I tried to make the video entertaining. I&#8217;m told I succeeded! Give it a clickie.<\/p>\n<p>My project is for a CD Duplicator, for duplicating <i>Dick Tracy Must Die<\/i> and other projects. I&#8217;m also planning on making it available on a limited basis for other people so they can get sample runs out, but that&#8217;s not specifically part of the project. It looks like this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img decoding=\"async\" border=1 src=\"http:\/\/solarbird.net\/Livejournal\/2011-01\/duplicator.jpg\"><br \/>LightScribe-supporting disc duplicator<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here are the rewards:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>PLEDGE $10 OR MORE &#8211; A custom two-song CD single of your choice! Name your tracks. ^_^\n<li>PLEDGE $15 OR MORE &#8211; A signed two-song custom CD single of your choice! Name your tracks. ^_^\n<li>PLEDGE $30 OR MORE &#8211; A signed copy of the finished album! FEEL THE RAEG!\n<li>PLEDGE $50 OR MORE &#8211; Bring in 40 blank discs and your own (legal!) recording; we&#8217;ll print it for you!\n<li>PLEDGE $75 OR MORE &#8211; A signed copy of the finished album, and if you bring in 50 blank discs and your own (legal!) recording, we&#8217;ll print &#8217;em for you.\n<li>PLEDGE $100 OR MORE &#8211; Two signed copies of the finished album, and Solarbird will play your event, anywhere up and down the Cascadian rail corridor!\n<li>PLEDGE $200 OR MORE &#8211; Two signed copies of the finished album, and if you bring in 250 blank discs and your own recording, I&#8217;ll print your first 250 CDs!\n<li>PLEDGE $350 OR MORE &#8211; Two signed copies of the finished album, and Solarbird will produce your single in her ministudio. PLEASE BE AWARE that this is a very small studio, suitable for one musician at a time, without even room for a proper drumkit. But this is where she recorded and produced Dick Tracy Must Die, Twelve Good Measures&#8217;s vocal recording, &#8220;Nothin&#8217; But a Song,&#8221; and a couple of other projects. Listen to those at our website!<\/ul>\n<p>So that&#8217;s what it&#8217;s about. Please tell people about this, so that I have a shot of raising the money for this tool. I have a lot of ideas about little runs of different kinds of music, and this would make that a lot easier. And consider backing the project!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kickstarter.com is a website that helps people fund creative projects.
