I launched a baby book computer engineering for babies. I have posted about it a few times on Hacker News & Reddit, and that was enough several thousand dollars through kickstarter.

The kickstarter campaign probably brought in about 150k with minimal marketing effort, and at around that point, I brought on an ad agency that juiced it up to $250k after that.

I'm continuing to do preorders through my website, but all of the pre orders I get now are mostly driven by facebook ads.

Thanks for letting me share!

Woah, that'd qualify as minimal to me! I've been seeing CS-related materials popping up a lot targeting elementary-school aged children and older, but never anything targeting babies.

Thanks for sharing your numbers as well, those are pretty impressive figures.
