Black This Out, Want $6,000,000? We Need THE ENTIRE MONTH for Promotion & 25,000 Attendees

Ok, what we need right now is something to get people energized about the money bomb. Viral videos usually do the trick in this case. All this year though, the money bomb videos have come out a week before the money bomb dates. We need some videos to be released right now. This will help to build momentum early rather than later on when it's too late.

I'll see about contacting some of the people who created videos with a large view count and convincing them to add in annotations about Oct 19th.

Everybody here should be contacting people on youtube with RP videos and ask them to add annotations about Oct 19th.
 
Just pledged $10, I know for a fact I can do at LEAST that on that day, if not more by adding some merch :)

Make sure to link them to this thread so they know about the 25,000 person goal. That's the most important thing here. Everybody needs to know about the goal.
 
Okay I know I'm probably crazy but....

I made a separate FB account solely for promoting things so I wouldn't annoy friends I know in real life that I'm trying to convert on my real facebook page, but I have been adding people and direct messaging them about the moneybomb, and a LOT of people dont know about it and are sharing it/posting it all over facebook.

Seriously. Everyone starting doing this. We can make it happen. Again, mods moving this to the front page would be more than helpful!
 
Ok, I sent Youtube messages to the creators of both of these videos. We the People and The Only One We Can Trust. Here is the message I sent them...

Hey man, I wanted to make a request to you. First off, if you didn't know, the October 19th Black This Out Money Bomb is approaching. Here is the official website and Facebook event page...

http://www.blackthisout.com/

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

Anyway, I've been trying to create a movement around this date and it's finally starting to take off. This is the main thread I created on RonPaulForums discussing it. Please read the first post so you know what I'm talking about...

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showth...TIRE-MONTH-for-Promotion-amp-25-000-Attendees

What we're trying to do is rally the entire Ron Paul community around a goal of getting 25,000 people to attend the event on Facebook or pledge on the main website. The Facebook event has now taken on our 25,000 goal and I expect the official website to follow along also. Gaining 25,000 attendees will give us the power to have another $6,000,000 day.

The Aug 20th Birthday Money Bomb had 7,840 people attending the event and we brought in $2,000,000. Like all the other money bombs this year though, people only seriously promoted it during the last week. 7,840 times 4 weeks is over 30,000 people attending this event. It is entirely possible to make it to 25,000, but we need to get serious about it right. We can't wait until the last week to promote this. We need the entire month up until the 19th to make it happen.

This is where I'm hoping you will help us out. You've made an outstanding viral video that is getting thousands of hits every single day. We were all wondering if you could add some annotations to the end of your video to help promote our goal and the Black This Out Money Bomb. If you did this for us, we'd be able to expose thousands of people a day to the money bomb. We really have a chance to make $6,000,000 happen again.

If you add the annotations for us, could you please tell people that our goal is to get 25,000 people to attend or pledge to the event and then link to the main website. The reason why adding this to the video is so important is because we need early momentum for this money bomb. All the viral videos came a week before the money bomb date. We have four weeks to get a head start. So please, let me know what you'd like to do or even post on my thread on RonPaulForums if you'd like to talk about it. Thank you so much!

Does anyone know if these people have accounts on this forum? Also, are there any other very popular videos that aren't already promoting the money bomb?
 
I'd say 60,000 to 70,000 .. The 6 million figure last time took 59,000. Just sayin.
 
New edition is ready for print! You can not beat 1000 cards for $39. Today, I priced these out at my local print shops they wanted between $150 and $200 to print these cards! Order 1000 cards here: http://ronpauldesigns.blogspot.com/p/specials.html

The creator of The Only One We Can Trust reads the messages on here but I don't know if he is a member. I know this because he has used quotes from this site to promote his Youtube video.
 
We've already gotten 200 people to attend the Facebook event just today. This will surely build on itself and snowball into something massive!

I don't have too many friends on facebook and I am already seeing the event being posted. It should be huge.
 
Found this on race42012.com

Perry‘s campaign has indicated that they will most likely hit their $10 million goal for the third quarter, which would put them slightly above Romney’s pace from the second quarter (Romney raised $18.4 million; Perry had half the third quarter to work with).

There was also something about Romney having LESS THAN $10 million.

Also this:

UPDATE: A “source close to” the Romney campaign tells Reuters that Romney’s third quarter figure is likely to be less than $10 million. If Perry raises more than Romney, in half the time, expect Perry to gain a lot of momentum (along with the support of some big money men in the party).
 
The creator of the Facebook event can send a message out to all the attendees, correct? If so maybe send a weekly reminder what the
purpose of the event is, how to promote it, goals, etc.
 
Also on your blackthisout site you should really consider having a page where the "make a pledge" box is on the very top where people can see it first and they dont have to scroll down. Either change the homepage or make another page blackthisout.com/pledge/ or pledge.blackthisout.com where the pledge box is right up front. So that 'known' supporters can be given a direct pledge link.

I almost missed it and my resolution is 1920x1080 so I can actually see further down the page, but your pledge box is waaayyy down on the bottom. I went to your facebook link, etc. I think I went to 4-5 different pages looking for where I can pledge.

Hope that input helps :)

Oh another thing you can do is create a pledge page like I suggested, but keep your home page like it is. But with a big pledge button right underneath the text "black this out!". So that no one will miss it :)

^Very good point here. I agree that the Pledge button should be "above the fold".
 
This is a great thread. We need to market this event as if it's a big coordinated, and decent marketing event. I'm willing to do more design for this event, if needed.
 
ok... I'm frankly SICK to death of the over usage of "money bombs". It seriously seems like the creativity has been sucked out of this movement. Simply repeating a fund raiser and labeling it a "money bomb" does not make it special. This might as well be called "The Tuesday money bomb!" followed shortly after by the "Wednesday money bomb!"

The only 2 money bombs that have mattered are the Nov 5th and Dec 16th money bombs from 2007. Everything else has been a fizzle at best raising a fraction of the other two.

We've had half a dozen money bombs already this year. Time to move on to something new...
