Hey everyone
-
Evildea here,
one of the founders of Amikumu
-
I like that a lot, I am very happy now
-
And maybe you know
why I am already very happy
-
I am very happy because
we just reached our first goal!
-
We reached it, and that means
that we will be able
-
to realize this app
-
Amikumu will exist ... in the future
-
It will exist, so I am
very happy about that
-
And I have to especially thank
the Esperanto Association of Britain
-
because they helped
realize this campaign
-
this app, yes
-
They helped us realize it
-
because they just became
a very important sponsor of ours
-
so we are very happy about that
-
So I just want to say some things now
-
I have a list here in my cellphone
-
because today was too crazy
-
First, of course, thank you all
-
because this app
-
simply could not exist without your support
-
your donations
-
You helped so much
-
It was crazy
-
I almost cried
-
when I saw that Esperantists were
-
so generous, because
-
I remembered that in the past
many people said that
-
"oh, Esperantists are very..."
-
"...not generous, they
don't want to give money"
-
But now I just believe
that they are prepared to
-
They are very prepared to
-
If they see an idea or a project
-
that deserves it
-
And Amikumu, according to me
and according our sponsors
-
and our donators
-
deserve it, so thank you for that
-
And now some other things
-
I want to especially thank Alex
-
Here is his beautiful face
-
I thank him, because he was the
100th donator to our campaign
-
And I have to thank him
-
because he complained
about that on Facebook and said
-
"Oh, what do I win for being the 100th?"
-
So I just thank him
-
And there is
-
Ah yes, I have to say
-
We reached our goal,
but there are other goals
-
because now we will certainly receive
the money that you donated to us
-
but there are also stretch goals
-
Stretch goals are simply additional goals
-
So that means that, if we reach them
-
we can do other things for the app
-
So for example, when we reach
-
€10,000
-
we can do much better,
more efficient marketing for the app
-
And that's very important, right?
-
We need very many people
to know about the app
-
And there is more
-
And this is our new goal
-
If you can help us reach €20,000
-
that means that you can search
not only by language but also by interest
-
So for example, if you are an Esperantist
-
and you are interested in,
I don't know, programming
-
You can search by Esperanto
as well as programming
-
So you can see other nearby people
-
who are interested
in Esperanto and programming
-
So that would be very important, because
then you could find friends better, right?
-
So help us reach that
-
So probably you're now thinking,
"How can I help?"
-
I know that all of you, my viewers
-
already donated if you could
-
But there are other ways that you can help
-
So for example, if you haven't yet shared
our campaign using Facebook or Twitter
-
Do that, of course
-
But thirdly, and this is most important
-
The day after tomorrow, or
maybe we will start tomorrow
-
we will contact all the magazines
that I know, that Chuck knows
-
And we will write about our campaign
-
And because we so very
quickly reached out goal
-
they will probably write
something about our campaign
-
about our app
-
But if we could more quickly
reach our stretch goals
-
they would be much more
inclined to write articles
-
So help that way, but
-
if you have contacts
-
So for example, if you know
someone who works for a magazine
-
or a radio station
-
or maybe bloggers or YouTubers,
it doesn't matter
-
If they have an audience
-
contact them in our name
-
and then simply introduce them
to me, to me personally
-
So here is my email address
for the campaign
-
It's richard@amikumu.com
-
So simply send them to me
-
and I will talk with them
and we will plan everything
-
So, finally
-
Many thanks
-
You realized this app. Amikumu will exist
-
Amikumu will certainly exist
-
And you can't imagine how happy
my team and I now are
-
So thank you for that
-
and that is all
-
And I don't want to threaten you
-
because you did what I wanted
-
so thanks, and goodbye!
-
And, like always, I want
to thank my donators at Patreon
-
But you too can become
a Patreon supporter, if you want to
-

So, my donators thus far are
