ATTN: ANYONE w/ a FACEBOOK! Free $25/$50 Facebook Advertising Credit = FREE Ron Paul ads!

[roughridersten]

Maybe advertise for a "Vote for Ron Paul in the NH Primary" event on facebook. If people join the event, you then can remind them the day of to actually go out and vote. This could be replicated for SC, NV, and other primaries/caucuses.

Alright I guess it worked. Hopefully.

Since time is of the essence here is where my $25 will be going. I saw Fox ran Ron Paul's Believe ad and it had very positive feedback so I decided to link to his ad here on YouTube
I Started it as of 5:30PM Today to Run through Jan. 10th 11:59PM

Ron Paul is surging in NH

This election is about Trust & You can change the direction of America by voting for the only true, consistent candidate: Dr.Ron Paul

This advert targets 4,640 users:
who live in the United States
who live in New Hampshire
between the ages of 18 and 35 inclusive
who like #Herman Cain, #Jon Huntsman, Jr., #Michele Bachmann, #Mitt Romney, #Newt Gingrich, #Rick Perry or #Rick Santorum
Suggested bid: $0.40–1.14 USD

With my experience with Facebook ad's you can go a bit below the suggested bid and still get tons of views. I set my cpc at 30 cents. You can watch this and modify it as the suggested bid goes up/down

quick fwiw -- Used to be a big gray area, but the FEC recently ruled this is legal and you don't need t0 list who you are for funding the ads. Not sure on FB, yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

"Some Facebook users complain that the company is less than diligent in protecting their privacy. But the company is working hard on one area of privacy for its advertisers, Politico reports. It wants an exemption from Federal Election Commission (FEC) rules requiring campaign advertisements to include a listing of who paid for them.

Facebook lawyers contend that ads on the site shouldn’t have to include the information because of the limited space for text on its web pages. “With some mediums . . . e.g. bumper stickers, buttons, pens, T-shirts, concert tickets, and text messages, it is inconvenient or impracticable to include a disclaimer,” Facebook lawyers at Perkins Coie wrote the FEC in their request for an advisory opinion.

The FEC decided last year that short political ads bought through Google’s AdWords service don’t need to include the disclosure."

I'm all for this. Just need help putting together the ad. Thank you.

Here are my ads I'm running right now, feel free to use the $25 to run these...targeting Huntsman/liberal voters. Huntsman at 13% (give or take), if we can get 5% from him somehow, that would be great...

I have two Huntsman ads running right now, on a measly $10 budget each.

They appear as:

This one just posted it up, about 30 minutes ago, targeting more liberal minded voters...it's still "pending review", which takes about an hour I think:

I just added one, I hope more people jump on this, it's free and easy to do.

 

[8ClicksPerSecond]

When I click to upload an image to use for the AD it gets stuck there loading forever, any help?

 

[ssjevot]

I had that problem too. Just hit the button next to the URL box where you type in the URL for the ad and use that image.

 

[basebalf1rst]

Did this

Did this

Which ad did you run?

 

[Mckarnin]

I got my coupon code but when I went to the ad page I have this message at the top of the page:

Your account has been disabled. All of your ads have been stopped and should not be run again on the site under any circumstances. Generally, we disable an account if too many of its ads violate our Terms of Use or Advertising Guidelines. Unfortunately we cannot provide you with the specific violations that have been deemed abusive. Please review our Terms of Use and Advertising Guidelines if you have further questions.


I have never run an ad before or been signed up to run ads so no idea why...

 

[mmadness]

Heheh, you know a great idea?

Advertise ON FACEBOOK to all users who like "Ron Paul" that they can DO THIS AND ROLL THEIR OWN PERSONAL AD CAMPAIGN FOR RON PAUL!!!

Can you imagine a whole ton of Facebook Ron Paul supporters doing this and spreading the message? We can have a viral ad campaign that will directly target New Hampshire. And then we can rinse/repeat for SC, etc.

You can even use this $25 credit to do that. But let's make sure we post this on all the Ron Paul Facebook groups too.

I'm running 2. I haven't gotten a coupon code yet.

 

[mmadness]

In fact, I think all of us running Facebook ads should have at least a two-pronged approach.

At least one ad that is a normal pro-Paul/anti-other candidate/etc.
And one ad targeting Paul supporters showing them how they can do this for themselves. "SUPPORT RON PAUL? Just 5 minutes and help him get elected in New Hampshire - FOR FREE!

If everyone does this, then it becomes a chain reaction/effect that is unstoppable. Imagine you spreading this to three Paul supporters, and they set up something like this, therefore they each spread it to three more Ron Paul supporters (so that's you + your 3 + 9 = 13 AD CAMPAIGNS already running through just 3 levels of referrals!!)

Nice! See, multiple ads, by different RP supporters...hopefully reaching some of the same (and different) voters.
How long have you been running them, and what is your click/views?

 

[kill the banks]
