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

[mstrmac1]

I think its time for the mod's to step it up on this one too! We should have a pledge and facebook counter at the top of RPF so everyone can see if were achieving our goal...which of course is 60,000 attendee's. Mods we need your help for success!!

Also, when sending emails to friends or supporters to pledge.. we must let them know that this one is different. A lot of folks probably feel money bombed to death.

That's a brilliant idea! People can ignore a sticky thread, but they can't ignore a damn pledge counter, lol. Put the goal right in front of everyone's faces, right at the top of the website where everyone can see it. I'm tired of seeing people on money bomb days post, "Oh wow, I didn't even know there was a money bomb today." It's just an example of our failure to get the word out. Put a pledge counter at the top of the website or something that measures the Facebook attendees and a button to attend. This will help to regroup the community's efforts around a single goal! Everyone will know what they're supposed to get done because it will be right there for all members to see.

This ^.
We seriously need EVERYONE helping on this. No slackers!

Also, could someone at the DailyPaul post this as well? I don't have an account there. I know a lot of the users there are the same as here but there are some that aren't. We need their help too.

I don't think stickies work anyway. We need to think outside of the box on this one. We need everyone's help and the mods on this forum can help out a lot. I'm feeling a little grassroots harmony coming on!

Also, I think for this to happen.. somebody will have to write the script or code and submit it to the forums mods. Right?

Just an update...

The OP is completely correct. This past day, pledges have "blown up" simply because a few here have been pushing people to the web site on the forums, Facebook, Reddit, etc.

Here is a breakdown of the result:

Take notice of the % new visitors. There is a lot of people who haven't seen it yet, so it's not good to assume these moneybombs are even known about by a large amount of people.

My focus over the next few days will be to improve the share capability of the web site and also building up additional functionality that will encourage involvement. Anyone willing to help on some of the mundane tasks? Once I put in place some of these widgets and things, I'll need help from some people to get other web sites to pick them up.

I noticed on the DailyPaul.com he had the code, and there is an app that shows it on Facebook pages...so the code is already written. If anyone could reach out to the DailyPaul and get it, probably pretty easy from there...

Dusman, are you the creator of the website and Facebook event? If so, please read my earlier post. I'll quote it here...

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.

Good point. I'll make sure to add the Facebook event link.

Anyone willing to collect news stories that might be pertinent to this moneybomb?

 

[Maximus]

This one is going to be huge, let's do it

 

[Sentinelrv]

One of the most important things I think people need to realize is that the majority of Ron Paul supporters DO NOT visit either Ron Paul Forums or the Daily Paul. These money bombs originate on these websites and then knowledge of them is spread throughout the community. Only then do people outside of these websites become aware of the event. The only way to get the majority of Ron paul supporters to know about this money bomb is to spread it everywhere both online and offline, because they will surely not come here to find out for themselves. It's our job to make it known to everyone. I really like the idea of passing out these flyers or cards to people about the money bomb. That allows us to take our promotion of the event off the internet and into the real world.

What exactly do you mean by this? What news stories and what are they for?

 

[MJU1983]

So, the current money bomb is averaging ~$57/donor. Assuming this is true for the next one, we would need 105,264 donors.

My hope is that people double down which would mean $114/donor and we'd need 52,632 donors.

We've got a lot of work to do but I think it's possible...the more donors the better, obviously.

If we tell people early they can save for this!

And when the ticker goues up and up, you can´t resist the feeling to donate more and more!

Well, it would be nice to archive news stories that misrepresent Ron Paul. I'd like to go as far as doing rebuttals for them, similar to how Tom Woods has done. Something people can come back to check frequently and use when countering points. I also have the pledge DB built so that it can take pledges for specific news stories and we'd be able to track how many pledges specific stories generate.
