Thank you for your help. Things are off to a great start with 82 backers bringing the project to 66% funded in the first 3 days. I truly appreciate all of the shares and posts on social media and via blogs. I promise to work hard to deliver a product that lives up to your recommendations.
Over the last couple days I've made some small tweaks to the content and layout of the campaign. If you jumped in while the paint was still drying and the fit and finish weren't quite there, thank you for the extra vote of confidence.
I have a favor to ask. If you know an outlet that would be a good place to highlight this book, or if you are interested in an interview or blog post, I'd love a short introduction.
Thanks and have a great end of the week

Wow. What a first day. Things went better than I could've hoped for. Thank you for your support, you are amazing! I wanted to share some of the numbers from launch day:
Launched at 9AM Mountain time
-
48% funded in the first day
- 16.7% conversion (55 backers out of 329 unique viewers)
- 27 out of 55 backers are people I know directly
- 17 backers are outside of the USA
- $44.40 average pledge size
- 20 early bird backer rewards sold out
Most backers came via direct referrals (17) and twitter (17)
13 backers from Facebook representing 44.31% of pledge amount
6 backers found the project directly via Kickstarter
From 329 unique visitors, there were 117 video plays.
36.75% watched the whole thing, adding up to ~1.6 hours of me saying "developer relations" repeatedly.
And here's what the distribution of views looked like during the day:
I am very interested to see where things go from here. Thanks again for your time and attention. Please feel free to reach out to me if I can help with anything.
With gratitude,
Brandon
