    The main purpose of our first launch is to gather as much feedback as possible. Engaging with community is one, self-care is another. What more can I do? :)

    Congratulations, tips would be to have a large following, preferably emails, that you can activate to come help your launch on PH. I tried crowdfunding once and flopped really big because I didn't understand the internet has really poor conversion statistics. On our chosen platform, IndieGOGO, their own help/guide disclosed that on average, a campaign page there has a 5% conversion rate. I later realised that my email shoutout had an open rate of 30% and a conversion rate of 5%, so what I actually got on my campaign was 5% of 5% or 0.25% of my supporters actually pledging money to our campaign. What I learned that day was crucial, there are no free lunches, not on Earth, not in the known universe and neither are there any on the internet (in fact the internet seems worse). I learned I had to sell and that it is a grind. It takes time, and eventually you will get there, but the misconceptions I had about crowd anything (including platforms like PH) were that I had grossly inflated their effectiveness. Platforms routinely parade their successes on the front page to sell the dream of having your turn at hitting it big, but if you look, the vast majority of projects on platforms get little traction. I'd like to know how your launch is going? I can see you've got reviews and followers already which is a good sign. I'd love to hear about your preparation journey ( can see you joined PH in March this year?) and how the first few hours of the launch as gone. Best of luck!
