How we Raise $6,000,000:

We're Slacking Off When it Counts Most

I've seen a lot of people complaining about our lack of fundraising power lately. They contribute it to things like too many money bombs, people being in worse financial shape and whatever other excuses they can think of. While these excuses probably do have some merit, I think the major reason why is because we simply haven't pushed hard enough during our promotion of each event. There are too many people being lazy and not helping out and doing their share of the work. And not only that, we're starting promotion too late with only a week or less to reach people. Just look at the stats of the Facebook event pages for the last couple money bombs. Look at the correlation between how many people we got to attend each money bomb and the amount of money we rasied during each event...

Aug 20th - Birthday Money Bomb - 7,840 Attending - $2,000,000 Raised
Sep 17th - Constitution Day Money Bomb - 3,683 Attending - $1,000,000 Raised
Sep 19th - SuperPAC Money Bomb - 579 Attending - Less Than $100,000 Raised


Success is Dependent on Attendance Numbers

Judging by these numbers, I think it's clear to see that a money bomb's success is dependent on how many people are notified about it, as well as some other factors like the theme and the level of emotional investment in the campaign. The more people that are notified, the more people will attend the event, the larger the total we'll raise. The Birthday Money Bomb did great, but then people slacked off for the Constitution Day Money Bomb. The SuperPAC Bomb hardly got any promotion and we see the results of that now. I understand that many people may have been short on money this last bomb, but that's no reason for them to slack on promotion. If you're short on money, then spend your time wisely getting others to donate instead of completely skipping the event. We need you to help out in promotion. Our goal for the Black This Out Money Bomb should be to far surpass the Birthday Money Bomb in attendance. 7,840 people is nothing compared to how many people we used to get to pledge in 07. Here are the current attendance numbers for the Black This Out event...

Oct 19th - Black This Out Money Bomb - 7,763 Attending - Amount Raised???


GOAL 1 - 25,000 Facebook Event Attendees

Judging from the number of people that hit the attend button on each Facebook event and the amount we raised for each bomb, we need to get about 25,000 people to hit that attend button on the Black This Out Facebook event if we plan on getting anywhere near $6,000,000. How did I get the 25,000 attendee goal? Adding the number of attendees from both the Birthday and Constitution Day Money Bomb together, it took 11,523 attendees to raise $3,000,000. So, doubling this number means we'll need 23,046 attendees to raise $6,000,000. We're making the goal 25,000 people just in case we don't make it with 23,000. Also, the Birthday Money Bomb received 7,840 attendees after only a week of promotion. We have four months to get this done. 7,840 times 4 weeks is over 30,000 attendees. This proves 25,000 attendees is ENTIRELY POSSIBLE to achieve, but ONLY if we start RIGHT NOW!

The only way that we even have a chance at raising $6,000,000 is if we all get off our butts and promote this thing until we get 25,000 people to attend the Facebook event. We must focus all of our attention and energy on early promotion in order to gain momentum going into the 19th. I don't mean to put people down, but I think too many people have just been lazy during this campaign, pushing off the work onto other people and hoping that the work will get done by somebody else. If you want this thing to be a success, then you MUST take the lead and promote the hell out of this thing. The reason why the Constitution Day and Ready Ames Fire Money Bombs did worse is because less people helped out in promoting them, plus the fact that promotion started way too late. The original money bombs that brought in millions had much longer promotional periods. We have AN ENTIRE MONTH to promote this thing starting right now. Let's not let it end up like the Ready Ames Fire Money Bomb and expect to make millions, only to end up getting $500,000 because we didn't do the work necessary to make it happen. We need to use ALL of this time and NOT forget about it until three weeks from now like we usually do every single month. Only by heavily promoting it the entire month and creating hype around it will we be able to get enough people to pledge and hit that attend button. Again, we need 25,000 people to attend this event, not 5,000, not even 10,000. If you want to make it to $6,000,000, then we need to get at least 25,000 people to pledge and hit that attend button. If we don't make it, then don't expect much from Black This Out. We need to be realistic.

I also just wanted to point out the reason I am stressing the goal of 25,000 attendees. It seems that people like to focus on the dollar amount they ultimately want to bring in as their goal to shoot for. Focusing on the dollar amount as your goal doesn't help in providing you a guage for how likely it is that you're going to reach that goal. People will blindly promote this and HOPE that they did enough to raise the correct amount. They will blindly promote it because they aren't using any kind of guage to help tell them how close they are to reaching their goal. Shooting instead for a goal of attendees allows you to measure how powerful the money bomb will eventually be. If you know that it takes roughly around 11,523 attendees to raise $3,000,000, then that provides you with a way of figuring out how many attendees you need to raise $6,000,000, in this case it's around 23-25,000. Until you reach that goal, you don't stop, because if you do then you'll know that it won't be as successful as it could have been if you kept on promoting. It's mainly for motivational purposes and measurement.


GOAL 2 - 12,000 Pledges on the Official Website

While I am using the Facebook event as a way to guage support for this money bomb, you must also make it your mission to get as many people as possible to pledge to the official money bomb website at [url]www.BlackThisOut.com[/URL]. It is extremely important that we collect as many email addresses as possible. We're setting the pledge goal at 12,000 people. Using these email addresses, we can coordinate with people already attending the event and give updates to the money bomb, promotion techniques and ways of spreading the message as far as possible. Even if we're able to attain 25,000 Facebook attendees, we'll have no way of communicating directly with them. That's why it's so important to send people to the Facebook event AS WELL AS the official money bomb website so that they can pledge. Another important reason to support the official website is that we'll also be able to use the email list gained from Black This Out and use it to promote the next money bomb on 11/11/11 and then use the combined list to promote 12/16/11, allowing each money bomb a better chance of eclipsing the previous one.


GOAL 3 - A $6,000,000+ Day for Ron Paul!

So my main message here is that if you really do want to have a $6,000,000 day, then we need to be realistic and set our goal at getting 25,000 people to attend the Black This Out Facebook Event and as many people as possible to pledge their support on the official money bomb website at [url]www.BlackThisOut.com[/URL]. It's just not going to happen with less than 10,000 attendees. Make videos, hand out flyers, leave comments, send personal emails, invite people. Do whatever you have to do, but if you want the campaign to get that much money, then we need to get serious and start our promotion now and not let up until the 19th is over. We all need to work on reaching this goal. DO NOT LET UP until the money bomb is over! Please check back here every so often because I'll be updating this post regularly to include new ways for you to help promote this money bomb.

Body: Hey, I was wondering if you could help do us a huge favor. I'm helping out to organize for the Oct 19th Black This Out Money Bomb...

Official Website:
www.BlackThisOut.com

Planning Thread:
www.blackthisout.com/planning

I'm sure you've probably heard of it by now because the event has been exploding all over the internet and has started to take on a life of its own. We already have thousands of pledges on the official money bomb website and the Facebook event and every day the rate of pledges is increasing. Pretty soon we will be adding thousands of people a day. Our goal is to raise $6,000,000 for Ron Paul and with our early momentum, it is very possible we will achieve this goal, but ONLY with your help. I wanted to write you to ask if you could do a couple things from now on that would guarantee people get maximum exposure to this event. It would really help us out in our goal of getting as many people as possible to know about this event. Here they are...

1. First and most important, download one of the existing Black This Out promotional videos and upload it to your YouTube channel. This will notify all of your subscribers about the new video and everyone that watches it will be notified about the money bomb. This is the easiest and fastest way to notify as many people as possible about the event. May I suggest using the following video to re-upload...

http://youtu.be/Pp0sb46aehI

This video was uploaded by the people that run RonPaul.com, so it's ok to re-upload it on your channel. It's all about spreading the word here, but give credit if you feel you have to. Anyway, this video is short, so people will watch the whole thing and see the website details at the end. It's also exciting and energizing. It puts people in the perfect mood to go pledge on the website and start promoting. I would suggest uploading a new Black This Out video every time a new one comes out in order to keep it current in people's minds. I personally use Orbit Downloader to download videos from YouTube, but if you prefer another program, go ahead and use that instead. The important thing here is that all your subscribers are notified about the money bomb. Here is the link to Orbit Downloader in case you need it...

http://www.orbitdownloader.com/

2. Add an annotation on all your current and future Ron Paul videos up until Oct 19th mentioning the money bomb and listing the website. In my opinion, the best place to add the annotation would be the beginning of the video to guarantee as many people get to see the message as possible. Remember, not everyone finishes watching a video all the way to the end. Adding the message to the beginning will guarantee they see it. It might be even more effective to add one at the beginning for those who might not reach the end of the video, and one at the end in order to remind people to check out the website now that your video has completed. If you don't know how to add an annotation to your video, check out this tutorial...

http://youtu.be/O46Lfz4ekH0

3. Add the money bomb website link to your video description.

4. Either you yourself post a comment about the money bomb and link to the website, OR look through the comments section of your video and thumb up any comments referencing the money bomb. Doing either will automatically bump up the comment to the top of the comment list. The money bomb details will then be visible to everyone commenting on your video. In order to actually post a comment with the money bomb website in it, you may need to alter the address to look like this...

BlackThisOut[dot]com

Please consider taking these 4 steps on all your Ron Paul videos from now up until Oct 19th. It will really help to make as many people aware of this event as possible and it will guarantee Ron Paul has a $6,000,000 day. Also, when I'm sending out these messages, it definitely helps to increase my enthusiasm when people respond to let me know that they're actually going to help out. It lets me know whether or not I'm making a difference, so please let me know what you think. Anyway, thank you for considering this!

[MJU1983]

Great post.... we can definitely do more, and should, to step up promotion.

 

[davidt!]

Good points! We need to work toward getting 60,000 pledges and we need to start now. Does anyone know if this MB is being promoted on Dailypaul?

 

[trey4sports]

While i agree with your general point the Ready, Ames, FIRE! Moneybomb had a very low total but a high number of Facebook pledges. My point is that we should rely on Facebook pledges as the total amount of visibility.

 

[Monique]

I totally agree. I have been sending out invites to hundreds of people a day on Facebook. I have accumulated over 2000 friends in the past month and I post regularly about the BTO bomb. I love also that it is the anniversary of the British surrendering the Revolutionary War. Talk about a perfect fit!! A Revolutionary Day Money Bomb for the Ron Paul Revolution!!!

I have invited over 3000 people individually and I am posting the link on every Ron Paul page I can find. I am sending it to friends and asking them to donate too. I started a twitter account and I have 500 followers there. I regularly ask people to donate on Twitter. I agree totally about the videos...I don't know how to make them, but that is a fantastic way to spread this link.

What is everyone else doing? Maybe I can be more effective?

 

[mport1]

I've got over 10,000 liberty friends on Facebook. I'll invite all of them when I have a little time. I can usually invite them all at once, but Facebook is only letting me invite a few hundred at a time right now.

Does anybody have a new workaround for this?

 

[Airborn]

invite friends on facebook but also post on youtube videos whats what i see lacking compared to 2007, and 2007 it was only 12 spammers in their mother's basement We can beat that!

I wish meetup groups were still going strong, those were a big help last time, more so then facebook...

 

[Sentinelrv]

While i agree with your general point the Ready, Ames, FIRE! Moneybomb had a very low total but a high number of Facebook pledges. My point is that we should rely on Facebook pledges as the total amount of visibility.

Yes, the Ready Ames Fire Money Bomb had 4,570 attendees, yet it didn't do as well. I believe this is because it was still so early. There is more of an emotional investment for people in this campaign now. They're much more dedicated to this presidential race now than before the Ames straw poll, which is why we got more money out of just 3,683 people during the Constitution Day Money Bomb. If we had that amount of attendees for the Ready Ames Fire Money Bomb, we would have made even less than $500,000.

 

[NickOdell]

+rep.

You are absolutely right. We need to push this hard, and early!

edit: this should be made sticky in "Ron Paul Grassroots Central" or put on the front page. We need everyone on board on this!

 

[Sentinelrv]

Another thing I noticed is that we need to be a little smarter about our Youtube videos. We've had some awesome videos made within the last month or two that have gained a lot of views, yet we didn't take advantage of these opportunities to promote the money bombs. For example, this video was dedicated to the Constitution Day Money Bomb, yet only received 2,674 views. Both the We The People and The Only One We Can Trust videos received over 130,000 views, yet neither took adantage of the opportunity to spread the word about the money bombs at the end of the videos. Even one of our oldest videos, A New Hope, with over 2,000,000 views talked about helping to raise funds at the end of the video. We need to be smarter about releasing these videos. They don't even need to mention the money bomb in the title, but please put a message at the end of the video just in case it ends up going viral.

You are absolutely right. We need to push this hard, and early!

Agreed.

 

[Monique]

Spread the word far and wide. We need every single Ron Paul supporter to help on this one.

The Black This Out money bomb is being held on Oct. 19th...the day the British surrendered and we won the Revolutionary war. Isn't that perfect??? We can win TWO Revolutions on Oct. 19th, but you must help us spread the word. We need this one to be THE ONE that wins the Ron Paul Revolution!!!! Help please...spread the word far and wide and click attend...http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=181997088537471

I am posting that everywhere Ron Paul supporters are. Post it on Youtube videos. Text to friends. Get them to text to their friends. Tweet it. I don't know what else there is, but whatever there is, post it! Let's show them all what the grassroots really is and what we can do when we ALL work our tails off for it. This has to be the one folks.

 

[justatrey]

We just passed 1,000 on Facebook

 

[Birdlady]

As far as Youtube videos go, remember you can make annotations after the fact. The same video can just be changed to promote a new money bomb without losing views or honors. Annotations are limited, but it is better than nothing.

I'm trying to think of a video I can create to get some views/interest in this. If anyone has any ideas for me, please let me know. I think we should get a hold of Alexa too and see if she can start making videos now for the MB.

 

[Sentinelrv]

This should be made sticky in "Ron Paul Grassroots Central" or put on the front page. We need everyone on board on this!

I agree with you about the sticky, not just to get this information out, but also to put this 60,000 goal in people's heads. The more people shooting for a solid goal like this, the better chance we'll have of making it.

 

[Bruno]

What about an ad on Drudge and elsewhere like they did about the debt celing?

 

[Sentinelrv]

I've got over 10,000 liberty friends on Facebook. I'll invite all of them when I have a little time. I can usually invite them all at once, but Facebook is only letting me invite a few hundred at a time right now.

Does anybody have a new workaround for this?

I would suggest instead that you create a copy and paste message that sounds personal and start sending that to everybody on your list as well as sending the invite link. People can ignore the event link, but it's a little harder to ignore a message from somebody asking for their help in saving the country. I would also link them to this thread in your message letting them know how important it is to reach our goal of 60,000 people. The more people that are asked to help promote, the faster we'll get to our goal.

As far as Youtube videos go, remember you can make annotations after the fact. The same video can just be changed to promote a new money bomb without losing views or honors. Annotations are limited, but it is better than nothing.

If this is true, then does anyone know how to get in contact with the people who made those two videos with the high view counts so we can ask them to add an annotation about October 19th?

Here is something else we can do. We need to get in contact with the owner of the Facebook event...

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=221469004546764#!/event.php?eid=181997088537471

...and ask them to add in a sentence in the description, something like "Can we break the $6 million mark? I know we can, but this can only be achieved if we have 60,000 attendees or more! That is our goal, so let's make it happen!" or something like that. We need everyone to know about this goal.

Also, we need to get in contact with the owner of the main money bomb website (Maybe the same person?) and ask them to include a link to the Facebook event as I don't see one listed on the website. This will allow people who find out about the money bomb through the website to go straight to the Facebook event and start inviting people.

Are there official events being created via the Ron Paul facebook page for these money bombs? If not, they NEED to. As a matter of fact, the next money bomb event needs to be created and needs to be on the official Ron Paul facebook page NOW. This would help tremendously. It gives it so much more credibility if it is created by the page itself...I would give anything to be able to help with the official facebook page as that is what I do! I know so much more could be done.
