Congrats on overfunding!
Just keep pushing the campaign whether it is leveraging your own contacts, updating your ads or retargeting an existing audience or trying pitching and outreach to influencers in your specific niche.
People love reading stories. It's why fiction authors outsell non-fiction authors by at least 1,000-to-1. Your product has a creation story, an origin and you may have stories of customers who have used your product and how it changed their lives. Tell these stories on your project page.
Not only do visuals draw a potential backers attention to the sections that they care about, but they also make your campaign appear more professional and well-crafted. Check how your "hero" image looks like as a thumbnail.
