Do any of you read or use this in Australia?

I'm a big fan of it and I think it's a great idea, it's really taken off too.

I would like thoughts please on using it as a business platform and also I wondered if any of you have used it/ would consider using it?

Thanks.

Yeah I follow quite a few projects too! I'm pleased I've found someone else who's a fan of it. It's great isn't it?

That's a good one you have just posted. That's the first time I've seen that one.

I'm thinking of actually using it myself for a project I'm working on and just wondered is it big over in Australia?

Well there are Australian Kickstarter projects as you are probably aware, however like domains... global is better. So whilst people may well look for Aussie inventions, etc, if you create something... then go Global !

The market in Australia, is too restrictive and small for Kickstarter projects in my opinion.

I have hhad a few ideas, and seen many exceptional ones. Theres a film company making a action film, that caught my eye too. Will try and find it.

Edit: here you go lol

Yeah I'm definitely going to go global with it, it's the only way nowadays.

Thats what I thought, the Aussie market does seem restrictive.



Lol@ the film, what is it with guys and Kung Foo films, I bet you're Bruce Lee fan aren't you?

I've just watched the clip, it's funny.......for that type of film. I see it's reached it's target and more.

There's some great stuff on there.

Hey there Wilsons

Good luck with it all





Regarding Kickstarter, it's great isn't it? I'm addicted, I think it's a great platform to launch a business from and I quite often contribute small amounts just to help people on their way. I love it.
