If you’re looking at whether or not your project can be successful via Kickstarter then look no further than this list of 7 most successful Kickstarter categories to fund your project.

The website has been responsible for numerous creations, many of which have found great success thanks to the website’s popularity.

However, there is a dark side to crowdfunding. Some projects have problems within the development that cause the project to fail and the money wasted. Others fail to complete their financial goals and the project discontinues. In recent years, we’ve seen website updates that allow developers to interact better with backers through updates. A great presentation also adds to the legitimacy and trustworthiness of an advertiser.

So how can we determine the most successful categories on Kickstarter? One aspect we need to look into is the frequency of the category among the top-funded projects on the website. The more a certain category is funded, the higher the likelihood that projects of the same type will also fund successfully. Another aspect we need to look into is the highest funded project for each category.  The highest amount of money funded gives us an idea of how much a certain project can raise to reach its goals. It gives us a better idea if projects of that category are things that people are interested in investing in.

One essentially gets something out of being a backer, in that you are essentially purchasing the project while helping its development. You’ll often get a copy or version of the finished product along with some freebies depending on how much you contribute. Of course, one also has to take into account that great communication and presentation is needed to convince audiences online. For this list of most successful Kickstarter categories to fund your project, we take into account the top 100 most funded projects as ranked by Kickstarter. While it is a small sample size, it is enough to give us a good idea of what the most successful categories are.
