How to: Create great rewards
What to offer
Copies of what you're making, unique experiences, and limited editions work great.
How to price
- Price fairly, and offer a good value. What would you consider a fair exchange?
- Most popular pledge amount: $25
- Something fun for $10 or less is always a good idea.
- Backers based in the U.S. will always see reward amounts and funding goals reflected in USD.
- Funds that backers pledge to account for shipping costs will count towards your project's funding goal. Keep this in mind when setting your goal.
- Use the shipping tool to add delivery costs for any country you like (including your own). The price will be added to backer's pledges as they check out.
What's prohibited
- Rewards not directly produced by the creator or the project itself
- Financial incentives
- Raffles, lotteries, and sweepstakes
- Coupons, discounts, and cash-value gift cards
- For more, please review our list of prohibited items and subject matter

Important reminder
Kickstarter is a global community, and including translations of your description and rewards, or using our Captions & Subtitles to make your videos more accessible, will help your project have a wider appeal. If you're including text or audio in a language outside of those that we currently support (English, French, German, and Spanish), we also ask that you include English translations or subtitles.
Don't use music, images, video, or other content that you don't have the rights to. Reusing copyrighted material is almost always against the law and can lead to expensive lawsuits down the road. The easiest way to avoid copyright troubles is to create all the content yourself or use content that is free for public use.
For legal, mostly free alternatives, check out some of these great resources: SoundCloud, Vimeo Music Store, Free Music Archive, and ccMixter.

Important notes on accountability
Part of every creator's job is earning their backers' trust, especially backers who don't personally know them. It's up to you to make the case that you can successfully bring your project to life. Present your qualifications and share links that help reinforce them.
Returning creators
Launching another project? Awesome! For the sake of transparency, just be sure all of them are under the same account. In special circumstances where this won't work (this project's a solo album, the last one was with your mariachi band) just be sure to link to any previous projects in your bio.
