I have just created a new project and added to bitcoinstarter. I think it is project number 1.000: https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/1000 The project now awaits moderation, hopefully it will happen soon, and then we can start fundraising. I have a question to the OP of this website: are you marketing this site somewhere, do you have traffic, are people coming to it and funds getting collected or no? Thanks.

They seem to get hit and misses I know traffic has been down lately , in other words they can't do all the marketing for you ...you have to put in some of the effort also!

Hmmm... yes, now the project is up and live: https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/1000I think that this is one of the best projects available on the site, and it can easily turn to be a great investment. So let's make this happen!

This is a really great site. I can't believe I've only found it now... needs more brand awareness since it encapsulates everything crypto stands for in my opinion.

Thanks. Obviously I agree. When I set out to create it made perfect sense to allow people to pledge any amount ( anon. or not ) to the projects that matter to them. Ironically, our funding for the platform is strictly from successful projects , so need to figure out a way to do raise our own funds for the platform to bring more brand awareness to the Bitcoin community. Thanks again!

Well, one way to get more exposure for your website would be to ask people who create projects on your website to add the link to that project in their signature (just like I have did now). This way, people would see all around this forum bitcoinstarter and the site would have more chance to get a lift off.
Another suggestion I might have (and of course I realize that this is subjective as it is my interest too, but I truly believe that it is a project that would catch more peoples eyes) would be to highlight my project on the index page. It is a project which would be of an interest to a lot more people on this forum, and in the bitcoin community as the survival gear and learning stuff (no offense, but really if you make the social profile of bitcoiners you'll see that most of them - as in almost the entire community - are interested of gambling, betting, and a lot less would invest in survival gears).

Great suggestions. So you are suggesting a way for people to be able to push their project up further on the main page ( say pay a small btc fee) to get highlighted more? I see what you are saying.

Great suggestions. So you are suggesting a way for people to be able to push their project up further on the main page ( say pay a small btc fee) to get highlighted more? I see what you are saying. Not exactly. I don't think that you can charge anything at this point if projects don't get exposure. You need to drive people to your website somehow, to raise awareness of the existence of it (I didn't knew until yesterday either about a bitcoin crowdfunding possibility either, and I am on this forum for quite a while already). So the signature will help. Then, selecting a project which would be interesting for a larger part of the community on your index page would be good to catch the attention for your website and not just close it once somebody opened it. Survival gear and learning are LESS of an interest for bitcoin community as anything related to betting, so you should manually pick a SOLID case for the index for now. After your site kicks off, of course you can charge extra to feature projects (they have to appear however a little bit differently).

Things have started rolling on bitcoinstarter.com. My project, https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/1000, collected already 5 BTC out of 50. 45 BTC more to go, for anyone who want to invest in this project and of course get the benefits of it.

Maybe now you start to really really consider replacing the project on the index page with mine, and start marketing the best you can this project. I am doing my part too, spreading word on the forum, I even opened a new thread for this one. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=768544.0 However, I am sure that you have already more channels established, FB, or other viral marketing solutions, etc. After all it's the interest of both of us!

I sent you a PM on this forum . Can you explain what you mean by replacing the project on the index page with mine ? I appreciate it! And yes, usually if there is any interest in the project via pledges we ramp up our own marketing around the project greatly. So expect more shortly!

I have to admit I'm amused by the person doing the fund-my-porn-site bitcoinstarter. I'll be curious to see if that one gets funded.
Also, that tunnel wars Bitcoinstarter is a really cool and rather clever idea. I hope it gets funded.

Hello, Agreed. The Tunnel wars one is a pretty slick idea. There has been one other person who got their fund my porn site basically funded. If you look in the "funded" tab you'll see it. SO they seem to be popular . edited: this one https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/629 [NSFW]

Porn's pretty popular, so throw in the awards like the other person did and I can imagine it'd be pretty easy to get funded.

Seems porn is big with Bitcoin.
