## Cited GrowthDex tactics

- [Kickstarter community stretch goal with backer input](/growth-ideas/kickstarter-community-stretch-goal-with-backer-input/) - Let backers shape a specific stretch goal so the mid-campaign push becomes participation rather than another funding ask.
- [Kickstarter one-dollar trust tier for update loop](/growth-ideas/kickstarter-one-dollar-trust-tier-for-update-loop/) - Add a tiny pledge tier so curious supporters can join the update loop before they are ready for the main reward.
- [Kickstarter video review burst before campaign plateau](/growth-ideas/kickstarter-video-review-burst-before-campaign-plateau/) - Seed playable or reviewable proof with creators early enough that third-party videos can carry the campaign through the middle slump.
