What if you could turn your book idea into a six-figure Kickstarter campaign?
In this interview, author and marketer Josh Jenne breaks down the exact funnel that helped him raise over $202,000 to launch his fantasy book series, without relying on AI-generated art, and with a razor-sharp marketing strategy.
You’ll learn:
Why concept is king — and how to position yours
How Josh used Reddit, Facebook, and Discord to build momentum
Why he spent over $30K on Facebook ads (and how he knew it was working)
The controversial truth about using AI art for books
How to build a pre-launch email list that converts
The one mindset shift that separates authors who succeed on Kickstarter from those who don’t
📚 This is required watching for any author, artist, or creator thinking about crowdfunding their next book.
