Aftermath: Our Unsuccessful Kickstarter

First I want to thank all who pledged to our Kickstarter. We were unsuccessful so none of you will be charged the amount you pledged. I wanted to write a short little article to Thank everyone, remind what our goal was, and what we will do next.

Our goal was to be able to get the equipment needed bring a lot more content to the podcast as well as website. We mainly wanted to add video content to the site in a variety of ways. A few ideas were a Quick looks on Video Games, Video reviews on Video Games, some sort of video tech show, and a few other ideas that we haven’t fully thought out. We simply wanted to grow The GeeksFTW! into something bigger then it is currently.

We are still looking into doing some new things for the site and will try our best to give you a reason to visit the site each and every day. If some of you want to help us out you can! When you purchase things from amazon we ask you to first click on our Amazon Banner on the side and shop as you normally would. Also you can click on our Audible banner and sign up for a free trial. These are ways to help us and get something for yourself in return. We take pride in the fact that we don’t have a paypal donation button.

Once again we want to thank all of you who helped out. We also want to thank all of you who are reading this right now, and ask you keep bookmarked, in your RSS Reader, or just visit the site often. We hope content worthy of your time very soon!

Kickstarter: The Final 3 Weeks

We started our Kickstarter page as a sort of joke, but after time went on I got serious about it. I spend lots of time looking at other Kickstarters and see that many other Podcast projects get up to $136,000. We already do the podcast as it is and are fine with that. We are wanting to have the opportunity to expand our media distribution from just a podcast to much more.

What do we want to do besides the podcast?

  1. I would love to be able to review Android apps. I am a huge Android Fanboy and would love to be able to share the amazing things to do on Android.
  2.  There are many topics I would love to talk about on the podcast, but the time doesn’t allow it so I would love to do a video show where I discuss More Geek News that couldn’t make it to our weekly podcast.
  3. Stuart and I would both like to be able to do video game reviews as well as quick looks to give our opinions on the newest games.
  4. We would also like to be able to enhance the current podcast quality. We try to put out the best we can, but we would love to improve the quality even better then it is currently.
  5. We would also love to be able to stream the show live while we record. We want to be able to have live listener participation.

There are many other things we want to do. Our problem is we are a small site. Stuart and I are unable to shell out the money in order to do all the stuff we want to do. Kickstarter is a way to get a lot of people to give a little and help a whole lot. Our Kickstarter has 3 weeks left and we are asking for your help.

How Can you Help?

  1. Pledge any amount. $1, $5, $15, $25, $50 or anything in between or more. Any amount will earn you a reward. If you pledge high enough you get every reward below your amount.
  2. Spread the word. Help us out by letting your friends on Facebook know, tweet about it, if your a podcaster then tell your listeners, or any other way you have to let others know.

On a personal note: I have had a lot of problems happen recently and I feel like doubling down on the Podcast and website. Getting our Kickstarter funded would help out tremendously towards helping us spread our geek footprint on the web. And if we don’t reach our goal we don’t get anything and will remain on Kickstarter as a failure. So we are asking all you geeks out there to help us expand our Geekyness on the web.

Our Kickstarter can be found at Tinyurl.com/Geekstarter. Help give a small podcast/website have a chance to grow. We thank you in advance for any help!

Episode 86- F*#&! You Mr.Stark

We are back and sadly Harold couldn’t join us. William and Stuart provides a great show. They chat about some Movies, TV, Comics, and games they have been consuming in the past week. They also talk about Iron Man 2 along with some extra fun topics. This weeks show simply was a geeky chat between friends.
