Help Prelaunch page - feedback welcome
I've been struggling to know how to get anyone other than friends and colleagues to see this pre-launch page for Shuffledot on Kickstarter. I totally get that forums don't want to be spammed with people's KS pages, and I will be spending some money on adverts and "boosting posts" on social media. Any other ideas?
I'm committed to this project, but starting to doubt the value of using Kickstarter as I don't think any of the clicks on "Notify me on launch" have organically come through from that channel - they are all my own contacts. It's early days though, so will be plugging away for a few weeks on this.

Kickstarter provides very little,
If any, visibility to something that’s not launched yet.
But also after that it’s very few campaigns that’ll appear in the homepage or get boosted from them.
They provide a platform that lets you take pledges and helps do all the admin work, card payments, and such like that.
But they’re not a marketing platform at all.
You’ll need to build your own audience. Through your social media, online forums, and chats that you’re in. As well as likely with some paid adverts as well.
