“Yeah, just I think just then realize that this is an opportunity when you do get a supporter, so an investor, in the Kickstarter, that that’s your opportunity to stay in touch with them, to build buzz about the book, to build relationships with those people, to to not see that as the end of it, but to see it as the beginning of a relationship.”
