These stats can actually be quite useful if you ever decide to create a project on Kickstarter. For example, most of the money is granted on Wednesdays and between 10 and 15th of the month, so you can plan your funding cycle accordingly and increase marketing efforts during this period.
- jebus989 13y agoNot _most_ of the money, a tiny fraction more on average, and they give no confidence intervals or measure of variability so I'd bet it's just noise (if you pick ten random numbers, one of them has to be the highest).
- ktheory 13y agoKeep in mind that correlation is not causation. :-) (disclaimer: I work at kickstarter)
- girvo 13y agoI found it curious that it correlates to the middle of the work week plus basically the middle of the month!
- voltagex_ 13y agoPay-week for lots of people maybe?
- crypt1d 13y agoIndeed. But still, somehow I think it makes sense to consider such stats, especially if differences are quite big between contributions on eg, Wednesday compared to Saturday/Sunday. In any case, I would love to see more of these statistics. It seems like an interesting piece of information that can help understand how crowd-sourcing "ticks".
