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

You're right. This is about getting people to go to the website. They can find out about the goals once they're on the website. We just need something catchy to get them there in the first place. We need more suggestions.
yeap you hit it :) we need something catchy hehe
 
I am torn what the most catchy part is...I sort of like blending the two themes of the anniversary of the Revolutionary war, with the way to win the new Revolution is to stop the media from censorship.

We can only win this Revolution if we show them they cannot black us out any more!! Donate to Ron Paul on Oct. 19th to make your voice heard!! If every Ron Paul supporter donated something on that day, imagine the impact!! We need to stick together to make a splash. So, please...send this to your friends and get them all to support Ron Paul and stop the media black out!

Something like that.
 
I can't believe we've added 30 more people since midnight. Aren't people supposed to be sleeping right now? Hey that reminds me, I need to go to bed, but here are some things everybody needs to work on before I go, because I'm sure this thread will explode by the time I get up...

1. We need to get a good catchy line to use as an annotation on the Youtube videos.

2. I contacted RonPaulForum administrator Bryan to ask him about adding a pledge counter on the top of the website and stuff for the facebook event and he replied...

Bryan said:
Great work-- let us know what we can do. We can send out a few e-mails, post a banner, or counter-- what else?

So you guys also need to work on figuring out what to put at the top of the website and how to do it. I'm guessing Bryan doesn't know and I know nothing about this. Somebody in the beginning of the thread mentioned something about a working script over at the Daily Paul, but this is something we need to figure out. Anyway, I'm going to bed, good work everyone!

Who starts to post the moneybomb info to Ron Paul related articles ?

You can find these articles with news.google.com
 
I am posting this wherever I can...what do you all think?

ATTENTION ALL RON PAUL SUPPORTERS....We need you for one day. Oct 19th is the anniversary of day we won the Revolutionary War. We need to win another Revolution, but we can't do it if the media continues to black out Ron Paul. Won't you donate something...anything...on Oct.19th. Spread the word. If we work together they won't be able to ignore us. This is THE one!! Click attend at the link and send it to all RP supporters you know!! We need EVERYONE!!! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=181997088537471 and www.blackthisout.com
 
Don't forget to WRITE Ron Paul articles. It isn't that hard. Write something about the censorship and why we have the need for this moneybomb and then send it to sites so they will publish it. Shout in a room and a few people hear you, shout at the podium and the whole room takes notice. :)
 
I've been using this for youtube comments. It's simple and to the point, but I think we can do better...

*** Black THIS Out Moneybomb – October 19th ***
Inspired by the mainstream media's biased reporting of Ron Paul.

Pledge at BlackTHISOut[dot]com

Please spread the word!
 
Have we gotten the Campaign's blessing for this MB yet? That's kind of a crucial step since we'll need a ticker
 
Attending and invited..!!

Going to tweet about it every day from now until then...

Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come, even the campaign haha ;). Im sure they will get behind it, the snowball has already started to form.
 
So, I'm just about finished with my revamp concept. So far so good, but I wanted to provide an update:

I've virtually halted all live progression on the web site until the Constitution/RevPac moneybombs were finished. Having thought about this moneybomb for over a month, I felt it was important not to distract from the others, in case these updates prove really successful. Now that Black THIS Out is next, I'm excited to start proceeding to put all the various parts together now.

What I identify as the underlying problem is the lack of activity on the moneybomb web sites themselves and nothing really more. Simply put, there isn't anything on the web sites so far to attract return visitors. It should be something each and every Ron Paul supporter would want to visit each day. Considering the themes of all our moneybombs this year, they lacked a lot of ability to build onto the theme and produce a snowball effect.

Black THIS Out is significantly different, thanks to the mainstream media giving us constant fuel.

Here are the new features being implemented:


1) Pledge. Report. Share.

An objective-based funnel system to encourage viewers to do each of the three actions.

A) Pledge, is just what it is.. pledging a donation to the campaign for October 19th, 2011. B) Report, is to submit articles and videos of clear media bias, censorship, misrepresentation of facts. These will be screened, rebutted, and published on the web site. Each published counter-article will accept pledges specific to the article. On the day of the moneybomb, we'll do press releases and open letters to the media on how much money THEY raised for Ron Paul, through bias and censorship, and share that through the social networks. C) Share, which is providing a step-by-step guide to promoting the moneybomb. This will adopt a Facebook strategy (how to invite, good practices, etc.), Twitter strategy (Using the one started already), E-mail, Blogging, etc.


2) Conditional Pledges and Taking Challenges

This idea may take a little more time to finish up, but I think you guys will like it. The idea is that there are really two ways to donate to the campaign. Money and effort. Just as significant as 25,000 donations will be, 25,000 people taking it offline to promote Ron Paul in a strategic collaboration would be just as incredible. Therefore, the idea is to combine both of these together.

So maybe FRDMLVR 1 has $1000 to donate, but they want to make that pledge on condition that 100 people do a certain activity. So FRDMLVR 1 submits the conditional pledge and that challenge now shows up in a thread among other challenges going on. Let's say FRDMLVR 2 is completely broke, but wants to still contribute somehow. They'll not only be able to share the moneybomb online, but also take challenges that get them doing things offline.

The end goal is having our money work TWICE for us. If we can use our donations to leverage effort, then that money gets put back into advertising, which attracts more supporters.. we have a nice recipe to make our dollars twice as valuable to other campaigns' dollars.

This will take a bit longer to build and launch, but I feel it would be a great addition.

3) Widgets, Banners, and Badges

I'm just about finished up with these. The widgets will allow other web sites to embed pledge data onto their pages and I'm working on a way to pledge directly from the widgets themselves. So, if RPF wants to put a banner at the top of the forum that displays current pledge count and people could pledge directly from RPF, I think that would be a great improvement. I also have static banners and badges, if those are preferred.

I'll have more to show tonight. What do you guys think?
 
I have been getting good results asking video makers on youtube to add annotations at the end of their videos promoting the moneybomb. I sent a few emails out to them last night and had a couple of very positive emails back this morning. Another thing we can do is comment on online Ron Paul or Politic related articles.
