Kickstarter Referrals

[alanajoli]

One of the interesting things about running the Kickstarter is seeing where the donations come from -- not just meaning people (I recognize the majority of the names on donations, and I am incredibly grateful that some many people from so many different parts of my life believe in this project), but websites. The Kickstarter dashboard shows where people linked from to get to the Regaining Home Kickstarter. Almost 40% of the pledges don't have referral information, but I thought this was an interesting rundown of some of the other percentages:

• Almost 33% of my donations have come linked from Facebook


• Around 10% come from somewhere inside of Kickstarter's system (and most of these are from folks I don't personally know


• About 3% come referred from LinkedIn


• I make up about 4% from Livejournal, my homepage, and twitter


• The most surprising: a full 3.5% came referred from the fantastic web comic, Thistil Mistil Kistil by Sarah Schanze

Sarah, I owe you cookies or something. Thank you for sending your readers my way -- and thanks to everyone who's been spreading the word on Facebook. Clearly, that's working!

This reminds me a great deal of the art style for The Secret of Kells, which was an animated movie about the Book of Kells, done in the art design of the Book of Kells. Nice work, Sarah.

Oooh, you're right! I hadn't made that connection. That film was fantastic. And Sarah's art for TMK does have a similar tone.
