We're building a WordPress plugin that allows individuals to crowdfund for their own projects - http://ignitiondeck.com

We're still in beta, so the software is not perfect, but it's off to a good start.

We've had a LOT of people ask us to support MU, but we're not really interested in that customer base, at least until we get phase 1 finished.

Cool idea. Do you know anything about what percentage of Kickstarter funders come from links that the fund raiser posts vs. Kickstarter.com? Just curious if it will be harder to raise funds if not on the Kickstarter.com domain.

I've read some case studies wherein most people that were successful had to do a majority of the promotion themselves, at least early on. I think this is probably more true now than when Kickstarter was new and the story was fresh.

I only know two people personally that have tried their own KS campaign. One was successful and the other was not. He was gutted to have done all of the work to reach 50% and then not see a dime when the campaign didn't make it. Those are the people we're trying to help.
