(As a "How To" blog you will want to start with the first post and work your way up to this one)

Working Through The Tabs

This is when the simplicity of the Kickstarter website really shines through. Once you have made it through the basic set up it is time to work your way through the tabs at the top of the screen. The first page is

• Guidelines- Read this so that you don't have to do something twice.
• Basics- This is the tab where you will put the main picture that entices the public to click on your project. It is also where you put a short description of your project.
• Rewards- This is where you are given a chance to enter your rewards. The good news is that it sorts for you based on price so if you add one later it will still be in order. Yes!
• Story- This is where you get to enter your project data and upload your main video. What you put here appears right below your video. This is where you can explain the project or any details not covered in the video. You can also put pictures and data about the rewards on this page.
• About You- This is basically a bio page so it should be all about you and not necessarily about the project. People want to know who they are backing so make it honest and interesting.
• Account- Just check this tab to make sure your data is correct and also that your Amazon payments have been approved.
• View Project- Use this button a lot!  When you hit this tab it displays your page as the public will see it. Tweek your page using the various tabs above until you get it just right.

A few tips:
1. There is very little formatting available with their system so you will have to keep it clean and simple.
2. If you want to show additional videos on your page you need to upload them to YouTube (or similar) and just pop the URL in the box they provide. This is not the case with your main video (they store that on the Kickstarter server).
3. Show pictures of your rewards!
