I met William Xue through my LinkedIn network. He says that his company, Win Choi, specializes in high-quality printing jobs since 2008, especially in children’s books and pop-up books. His company offers competitive pricing and a high-quality product.
Here are some examples:
My books arrived and all the orders from my website were mailed out yesterday!
Thanks so much for your patience!
I’m thrilled to say that I am finally printing CHANGING THE GAME. I hope to get the book back within 10 days and then I will be mailing out your book(s ).
Here’s CHANGING THE GAME. I am so happy with the way it turned out,
Thank you so much for your patience!

My highest reward level for my Kickstarter Book was $200 for a hand-knit hat and a copy of Changing the Game. Here are the hats that I knit for my donors. I made a few extra so they could have choices.
The label was a gift from my oldest daughter for Mother’s Day. It’s my Japanese family crest that she made into a woven label. I hand-stitched them on and I am happy with how they turned out. Continue reading Hand Knit Hat Reward Level for My Kickstarter Book
Thank you all for your patience! I’m discovering that creating a book is similar to a home renovation project; it takes twice as long and is 50% more expensive than the original estimate!! Continue reading Changing the Game: 3 Weeks to Go!
Ninja Tip: If you’ve successfully funded your campaign there may be a tax advantage to spending your campaign funds within the calendar year. See what Kickstarter has to say about it here.

I learned the hard way about using Gmail for my Kickstarter marketing campaign.
First of all, Gmail only allows you to send out your email to 500 recipients. It doesn’t really state that; it just won’t send out the email if you have more than 500 email addresses. This means that if you want to send out your email to 2000 people, you will have to do it in at least 4 batches.
And that was my strategy for my Kickstarter launch. I set up my email with 500 email addresses and sent it out four times.
A few bad things happened:
The upshot is that a Gmail email campaign will work best for your Kickstarter campaign if you are planning to send out emails to less than 500 people. If not, definitely use an email marketing service, many of which are free.
I am thrilled to be part of an internal NBC event that included Julie Chu, Abby Marks, and Abby Chin. Continue reading I’m on NBC with Julie Chu!
Once you’ve decided on where you are putting your email database (spreadsheet, email marketing company), it’s time to start building your list. You want to avoid spamming people but you do want to cast your net as wide as possible. Where can you pull your email list?
