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

[justatrey]

I agree there are too many, but this one isn't going away.

We're better off with too many money bombs than none at all. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be donating as much as I have and I know I'm not alone.

Update those signatures and keep this page bumped everyone. Today was our best day so far.

The BlackTHISOut.com site shows 388 pledges now for $28K. Any way to add in the Facebook pledges so the amount on the main site looks more impressive? People want to get involved more if they think it's going to be big. Also, add a few standard amounts as pledge buttons, in case people don't get the slider.

How about adding a link to the Facebook event on the main blackthisout.com site?

Your exactly right. Today was way better than yesterday. We have a lot more people promoting, and it will only increase!

Keep up the good work! This moneybomb is actually exciting already. Or at least I'm excited...

This is like the Apollo missions and trips to the moon. Apollo 1 -11 had the world on edge as it was something new and exciting, wrought with danger and rewards. After 13(media bumb because of accident)... it was like going to the grocery store and no one cared. By 17 there was such little interest they scraped it.

It's very hard to get enthused about something that has been repeated, over, and over, and over, and over again.

It needs to be interesting and new to make a big splash, especially in the media.

You want to get people talking, require the donations in gold and silver bullion or coins. Deliver a CHEST of coins to Ron Paul. Dr. Paul has always said gold and silver are the only legal currencies. Literally give him a War Chest of gold and silver, and you'll see a spark of interest.

Well, it's not going away. A lot of people were unaware of the Constitution Day Money Bomb because of lack of promotion.

If you aren't enthused, why even post in a promotion thread effectively throwing cold water on people who ARE enthused? You could certainly start a new thread with your ideas to generate revenue for the campaign but just objecting to a money bomb instead of promoting it doesn't seem helpful.

Right on bro. Now don't forget to pledge at blackthisout.com and invite all of your negative facebook friends! This is the big one!!Let's bring in another 5 Million to the campaign!

help us promote this instead of complaining and it will be the huge success you remember of old. who knows maybe bigger.

well dont dismiss him that easily. I think he has a point, I agree a little bit but that doesnt mean I dont support money bombs. I strongly agree that someone needs to come up with something else, something new! till then all we have are money bombs

I'm going to start keeping track of how many attendees we are adding on the Facebook event. Today we added 224 people.

Sep 19 - 998
Sep 20 - 1,222 (+224)

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...



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?

Dont forget this one? I mean starting at 2:55 min mark is awe inspiring...

 

[Sentinelrv]

Also, Chainspell here created the We the People video and he said he would add annotations to the end of the video to help promote the event. He needs to know what they will say though. Does anyone have any ideas?

I believe we need to get across our goal of getting the campaign $6,000,000 by getting 25,000 people to attend the event, but how should it be worded and what website should we link, the official one or the Facebook event? Or is it possible to link both? Any ideas?

Any ideas here? This is something we can work on right now and I just realized that Chainspell created both the We the People video and the one you just posted.

well let's just say it gets 224 a day, though with more promotion it would start becoming more then that a day but let's just say 224 a day for now..

29 days till OCT. 19

224 x 29 =6496 + 1,228 (current attending) = 7724

which I think would be most attending for a moneybomb yet, but as the word gets out there will be many more then 224 a day. So spread the word about this moneybomb, it was the potential to be great!

How do we contact meetup groups ? And all the facebook groups for Ron Paul ? There should be thousands there...

How about trying to contact official campaign & Rev Pac & C4L & YAL and organisation like that ? DailyPaul owner ? Lew Rockwell ?

How about trying to contact people who organised earlier moneybomb and could have mailing lists ? Forum member Gage and Trevor Lyman ?


I can´t do this, cause of my bad english. But i hope that someone takes a mission about it. It shouldn´t take so long but it could generate easily anything from 1 - 1 million new people!

Really! I ask someone to do this cause it could have huge impact with just few e-mails!




I´m hitting Youtube right now! AND TRYING TO FIND FORUM MEMBERS WHO BELONG TO A MEETUP GROUP AND ASK THEM TO PASS THE INFO TO THEIR MEETUP GROUP!

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).

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).

They did another update showing Huntsman and Santorum struggling. I am hoping that there have been offline donors to up our total this quarter. Do we have any idea what to expect? Can we top last quarter's fundraising?

Count me in for Black This Out. I know fundraising occurred too late last go around so here's hoping that this is the BIG one!

 

[justinpagewood]

The concept for this moneybomb is good. We just need to be creative, build hype, and make it seem legit.

Who is in charge of the facebook event page and the website? We need their support to make sure this event is organized by the grassroots and that it is unique.

we will for sure top last quarters fundraising.

Here's my breakdown....


3.0M is being transferred from cong. to PCC account.

1.75M for Birthday bomb

1.0M for const. day mb

600K for Ready Ames Fire

1.4M non-MB fundraising (pure speculation here)


so my guess is roughly 7.75 Million raised and i would imagine they will push an end of quarter fundraiser as well.

Here's a facebook Avatar you can use for the event.

Perhaps we can also build a Wikipedia page for this as well. It just needs to be well-known enough. We need people to go "What is that?" and Google "Black This Out" - Make it seem like it's some alternate movement type thing.
