Do investors make money on Kickstarter?
Kickstarter makes money by taking 5\% of the total amount of money that is funded on the site. Those who use Kickstarter to raise money earn their profits differently, however.

This means there is no obligation to do anything if you do not reach the goal. This is a huge benefit that is often overlooked.
Why did you choose Kickstarter over IndieGoGo?
We chose Kickstarter because besides receiving much more traffic than Indiegogo statistically, I have personally backed many more Kickstarter campaigns than those on Indiegogo. I feel people browse and “Shop” on Kickstarter, and the organic traffic it brings as part of the community is hugely useful.
