Aug 20TH Moneybomb will be HUGE!

[dusman]

Just don't be surprised if half or more of the likes on facebook don't translate into actual donations. It's much easier to click "like" then to actually part with your hard earned money. Pledges on the donation site will likely translate to more donations, but I wouldn't count on more than 80% myself.

I'm not so sure about that. It seems we usually have more donations than pledges in the end. Some people simply don't even really get the opportunity to pledge, but donate as soon as they catch wind of it. Our day of push usually leads to a lot of direct donations in addition to pledges, so in the end I think it at least evens out.

Yes, it USED to be that way. We had over 4,000 RSVP's for the last moneybomb and ended up only raising 500K. I don't want to be a buzzkill i just want folks to approach this with some cautious optimism.

I will be donating more for this one then any before. Everyone should too. Why? We are close folks, much closer than '08.

6,000 people have pledged. nice

Holy crap. Some group must have just pledged a massive amount. It was just under 6,000 pledges a moment ago and around $350,000 in pledged money. Now it's over 6,000 pledges with $850,000 in pledged money.

I did see a pledge showing "$500,000" which we all know isn't possible.

well over 6000 pledges and 5000 people attending on facebook, little over 24 hrs to get some more. I think we will have a successful moneybomb, 1.5 should be no problem, I am guessing 1.67 million.

Yeah, something's messed up with the ticker right now.

At least they have another day to sort it out and make sure everything is working properly

Call your radio stations, and call your moms. This will be huge!

And do what is suggested in this thread: Help Use Facebook to Promote the Moneybomb

Its from the last moneybomb but trey4sports and I are using the same technique for promoting this one as well.

 

[trey4sports]

Also, comment on Youtube videos, meetup groups, and search google news for "Ron Paul" and comment on articles. Keep going folks we can do this

After I enter my info, check a donation amount and click on the pledge now button I get the following error.

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /pages/mbtku.html on this server.

Anyone else have any problems pledging?

usually we start at EST

Get on youtube and spam the over-loving shit out of everything promoting Ron Paul's money bomb on august 20th. That's what we used to do 4 years ago, but we haven't been doing it this time around! GET ON IT! GO!

Right now just go!

I'm glad I read this thread.

I'd been pretty busy the last couple of days, and the date had kind of slipped my mind- I read this thread and realized it's TOMORROW.

I'd better write myself a note so I don't forget

I tell you what. I have been really shocked. I have never facebook invited any of my friends to a moneybomb. Not that I don't care, but I just never really thought anyone I know would actually join. I invited my friends yesterday, and I have had two people join since last night. It just blows my mind. Funny thing is, I didn't even know those two people liked Ron Paul. If 2000 people from this site were able to get 2 friends to join, then that would jump the number up by another 4000 people. It would triple our results. Think about it.
