Has anyone hired a Kickstarter manager?

Since lunch Kickstarter and developing a product are two different animals I believe someone who knows Kickstarter might be able to run an awesome campaign. I’ve got the product figured out, but I wanna explore hiring a campaign manager

Marketing and running a campaign is a ton of work - a full time job for one person for a few months. Most creators don’t have the budget for that and most campaign managers still require the creator to provide the copy and creatives. If you want someone to do all of it, you’re looking at spending $25k+marketing budget

Any way, is a lot of work dude. There’s a great deal of analysis available regarding Kickstarter. Are you looking for a realistic funding goal for your project? Aim high—make it a challenging target. Are you looking for publicity? Set a low, symbolic goal. But research shows that you need to bring your own audience to Kickstarter; that’s what triggers the algorithm. Otherwise, it’s suicide before you’ve even begun. Mi inglish sucks so far ...

I’m looking for publicity first, I’ve got the product that’ll keep their attention. I was thinking Kickbooster since I can’t bring my own audience. It seems like the only option for the quiet type,

Learn to do it yourself.  If you hire it iut you are out the money and the learning opportunity.

Ci avevo pensato anche io, ma alla fine ho deciso di fare da sola.

Sto facendo molta fatica però arrivano ogni tanto piccole soddifazioni.

I think for most people the whole point is they are not hiring or can't afford more personnel to keep costs as low as possible.

Though I'm sure Kickstarter managers are a thing, I'm not sure how you'd find one. First stop would be to ask your AI preference to search the internet for someone advertising that kind of service.

Yeah, I’ve been chatting with Gemini since posting and the anticipated rate set up. Might expect to pay is well beyond my budget. I’m a manufacturing engineer with an expertise in sheet metal fabrication. I know my stuff. In a few hours max, I can identify most of the challenges and have a prototype built. I was hoping I could find an individual who has helped others in that capacity, just focusing on the launch.
