Ask HN: Have you ever Kickstarted a project? Tips, tricks, thoughts

Have you ever launched a project at Kickstarter? What are some tips, thoughts, tricks you can share with us? How did you share your Kickstarter? I'm having problems getting my Kickstarter exposed, so making a thread so hopefully others who've been in a similar situation before can help.
