Fund Raising: Day 4

So we have been fund raising for 4 days now and the first couple of days we manged to raise $161! but the last day has been slow on donations and when I say slow I mean we have had no donations! Since the fund raising page was set up I have been on Twitter and Facebook all day every day promoting the fund raising page and telling people about the great perks on offer to say thank you for donating. I am constantly trying to think up new ways to get people interested and ask as many people as i can to help promote the film by either word of mouth or re tweeting my tweets on Twitter. Today I have been trying to get more followers on Twitter as I am planning to do a small tweetathon soon to see if that helps with fund raising. I have seen a couple of people who are also fund raising for their films do tweetathons and it seems to be working for them so want to see if it can work for "The Conspiracy Effect" but for me to do this and for it to work i need to build on my followers.
I aim to keep this film 100% fan funded and build a fan base to help that which will come in time and will take a lot of long hard hours trying to get the word out which i have been doing constantly for the last few days. I have been on Twitter and facebook for nearly 24 hours a day constantly talking about the film, the fund raising page and all our perks we have on offer.
With the money raised I aim to use it for equipment which will allow us to film a trailer for the final short which will allow us to get more interest in the film. I aim to do more fund raising in the future to help more with the final film but as this is the first time fund raising I wanted to keep the amount small and look at it as a trial and error and learn from mistakes so when we come to fund raise again we know what works.
Even though its only been 4 days and there's still another 117 days to go on the Indiegogo page it's already looking as though it could be a long while till we get another donation. I think this is due to how the first day went where we got 2 big donations and then it slowly slowed down even though I have been promoting the film constantly and as much as I can, but I have received a lot of support and help from friends on Twitter who have been helping to promote the film to their followers and also by re tweeting our tweets.
Whilst promoting the project I have also been using the time to work on the script and to finalise it ready for casting.
