Twitter has grown in population along with the social media boom. A lot of people are engaged in doing activities on Twitter, for business, work, or personal stuff. A lot of people tweet every moment and every thing they do, but there are tons of people that are just lurking around and looking for stuff, reading news or keeping up with the current trends.

According to Jay Yarrow in his “CHART OF THE DAY: How People REALLY Use Twitter” :

The Pew Research Center released a big study focused entirely on Twitter. According to its findings, 8% of American adults that are online are now using Twitter. Below is a breakdown from Pew about how those people are actually using Twitter.

As shown on the chart above, people are lurking on twitter, just because MOST people are NOT DOING ANYTHING doesn’t change the fact that between 1/100-1/1000 or more people are actually engaging and that 1000:1 are just tracking news, seeing what their fave celeb is doing, or keeping up with headlines!

Lurkers on twitter cannot be ignored by people with the purpose of spreading something, not only because they are large in number but because these may be people that look for substance in things and they just don’t want to talk and talk, but maybe they do love to listen.

Have you ever had an idea that you think could make you an instant star or popular? Do you have a dream project that you think will succeed and will captivate the world but don’t have the financial ability to pursue it?

Well, you don’t have to fret over it and pursue your dream with just doing your part and exerting your effort and expertise, your skills to that project of yours even if you are broke.

Some people with money are looking for creative pieces of art that worth funding. You don’t know, maybe the very project you are thinking of is the very same thing that those people are looking to support.

Kickstarter is the thing you are looking for to make your dream project possible.

Kickstarter is the largest funding platform for creative projects in the world. Every month, tens of thousands of amazing people pledge millions of dollars to projects from the worlds of music, film, art, technology, design, food, publishing and other creative fields.
A new form of commerce and patronage. This is not about investment or lending. Project creators keep 100% ownership and control over their work. Instead, they offer products and experiences that are unique to each project.
All or nothing funding. On Kickstarter, a project must reach its funding goal before time runs out or no money changes hands. Why? It protects everyone involved. Creators aren’t expected to develop their project without necessary funds, and it allows anyone to test concepts without risk.

From a simple, small idea to very complicated and great project, from creative, whimsical thoughts to serious, high-tech masterpieces, from traditional to our of this world experiments, Kickstarter may find the right people that will fund you.

I personally think that this is a really great opportunity for creators, amateurs, aspiring artists, the future standards to get a jump start towards their aspirations and goals, with the help of people who appreciate hard work, skills and dreams.

Every single creation on Kickstarter is from an interested individual like you. Impress people with your thoughts and ideas, inspire people with your story, entertain the world with your creations. Get started with Kickstarter.
