Crowdfunding: How do I get pre-campaign traction?

[MRiabov]

Sup gentlemen. Been creating an awesome product for the past 3 weeks (absolutely no other actions but creating it, sleeping and repeating), and it seems the outlay is ready.

What I have is this:


This is an automatic potato peeler. Yes, it takes 3d scans of the potato and then cuts it to make a super-thin cut while leaving the delicious potato (or apples if you will) intact. So consumer electronics.

Alright.

Now, that said - this is the only thing that I have (besides more cool ideas on how to make this happen better). I haven't yet assembled it, nor I have written the software to make it work, Yet I know to get it out on the market to poke the finicky cat and see what it responds - moreover, I need to gather a list of people who will know about the product yet before I am going to launch the project on the kickstarter.

That said - I don't have much money beside those needed to order parts and assemble first prototypes. How do I go about getting people to know that I'm here? How to get people to know that I'm here providing value and gather following?

I know that there are men who have naturally done the same thing in the past. If you can share how to gather people around I would be deeply grateful.

Thanks men, you mean a lot to me.
