Thomas Endorsement
Most of you are on author media social because you already know this, but @Thomas Umstattd Jr. is absolutely the best!
I’ve listened to a majority of his podcasts multiple times, taken courses like BLB Blueprint and ONM. I’m a patron and try and make his monthly Q&A sessions. I’ve received so much value out of all his content, I feel like I’ve earned a 2nd degree in book marketing and my professor for 80% of my “Masters program” was Thomas.
One thing I didn’t ever put much effort into was all of the Kickstarter content. I had some misperceptions about it. Two weeks ago, on a Patron Q&A call, he changed my opinion. Up against a deadline, I put together a Kickstarter in 10 days, launching Tuesday morning. The only advice I ignored from @Thomas Umstattd Jr. (glad I did) was setting my goal low. I went with a goal 6x of his suggestion. We hit our goal 36 hours into a 29 day KS. We hit our 1st stretch goal in 48 hours and are sitting at 170% of our goal. I followed his direction/content on everything (except the goal) and had success because of all his guidance.
Thank you @Thomas Umstattd Jr. for changing my mind. This is an endorsement on Kickstarter but more on everything you do! Thank you!
