There’s a lot that you can learn from just studying these Kickstarter projects. Focus especially on the things that you can use if you are running your own Kickstarter. For example, you probably don’t have the celebrity pull of a Veronica Mars movie project, but no matter how big or small your project is, you could learn a lot from the reward levels of that movie.
