This little start-up hit the jackpot by playing all the right notes in an online campaign. Here’s how you can, too.

Last month, a video game project called Ouya hit the million-dollar mark on Kickstarter in just more than eight hours. It was the biggest single-day crowdfunding total in Kickstarter history.

The project went on to receive more than $2.5 million in pledges within 24 hours. With just a few days remaining in its campaign, it has 46,914 backers and a whopping $$6,061,081 in pledges.
