Suggested Improvements

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.

TITLE: 11

The first job of your title and headline is to get attention. The way you capture someone's attention is by describing your project in an easy to understand manner. It also helps if your product has a superlative label. For example: Is it the "World's Best ____?", the "first _____?", the "fastest____?" etc. Can you explain to potential backers how your product is lighter, faster, quicker, bigger, smaller, better than competitors.

WORD COUNT: 1882

Having a large number of words on a campaign usually indicates information is written up in detail. Work out what questions backers have in their mind and answer them with the wording on the page.

NUMBER OF IMAGES: 11

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.
