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

[MJU1983]

Adding the facebook rsvps to website someway...

I´m sure that it would bring more momentum if people see more people attending.

Yes, there should definitely be the Facebook RSVP with the "Find us on Facebook" box. The sooner the better.

I believe Dusman said he is going to be adding more social networking tools to the main website, including the Facebook Event link, maybe even a counter.

By the way, I am contacting forum administrator Bryan about incorporating the pledge counter stuff at the top of the website. Hopefully he'll be able to help make this happen.

I'm working on some changes to the web site at the moment, including the link to RSVP on Facebook.

You guys have done a great job. Your effort over the past two days has generated about $10k in pledges.

yeh this one is going to be our biggest one for this election(2012) but will we beat 2007?? Would be grand if we did! 6 million dollar man?? I'm ready to hear Ron Paul: 10 million dollars!

boooooom rsvps are flying today! keep up the push, twitter, youtube comments, facebook invites!

The FB page still says 5000, I thought we were changing it to 25,000?

Im not changing it to 25,000. It is unrealistic and not necessary. The last couple of moneybombs only got 3k+ rsvps. We need 50000 donations, not rsvps. The last couple of moneybombs have had around 10xs more donations than RSVPs. So if we get 5k rsvps that would be roughly 40/50k donations.

This makes sense. Stick with it.

 

[ItsTime]

Im thinking it over.

Well, I've been trying to convince ItsTime to change it but he doesn't believe it's a realistic goal. Here was my response...

What do you mean? The Birthday Money Bomb which took in $2,000,000 had 7,840 attendees on Facebook and we got that amount with only about a week of promotion. We have four weeks to make this happen. If you think people will find the goal unrealistic, maybe you could even put that in the description also to show them that it's not. 7,840 times 4 weeks is more than 30,000 attendees. It is entirely possible, but only as long as people get on it starting right now. They can't wait and put it off until the last week. It's better to shoot for the moon than shoot for the mud and make it. Translation, people need a reason to be excited about the next bomb ($6,000,000) and a goal to shoot for (25,000 Attendees). 5,000 people is not exciting, at least to me and does not energize me in the least bit. The reason why I am pushing this so hard is because I believe it is possible. The only thing that can prevent this from really happening is a limiting belief that it is impossible or unrealistic. We need to energize people and trash these limiting beliefs. It was done before. It can be done again, and the math proves it, but again, only as long as people are energized enough to start promotion right now.

My main concern is it's not enough of an exciting goal to motivate people. I'm afraid that people will take their time and spread out the promotion over the next month only to finally make it to 5,000 people. I think we should let the goal be known and show them it is possible.

changed to 25,000. LETS DO THIS!

Yes, this is great! May I ask what changed your mind?

 

[ItsTime]

My motto of late "go big or go home". Plus what you are saying makes sense there was 7k+ to the bday MB, we should come close to 25k.

 

[TexMac]

Yes, let's do it. Rise to the challenge!

 

[Sentinelrv]

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.

 

[NickOdell]

Seriously, can we get a mod to put this on the front page, or put an advertisement for it where they put the ticker for moneybombs?

We need more people doing this! I have spent maybe 10 minutes working on this and have gotten at 5-10 people to attend.

edit: Also, if we could get the official campaign to post the event page to their Facebook that would accomplish two things:

1. Establish credibility. Some people are unwilling to attend an event page not controlled by the campaign. That would help things, and I think its too late to ask the campaign to start one, when this one already has so many people working on it.

2. Get a lot of visibility, obviously.

^ this! If anyone is creating Ron Paul videos, I would suggest adding annotations about the moneybomb or an advertisement at the end of the videos. also links in the descriptions!!! This will be big!!!

 

[davidt!]

Does cage or trevor lyman have any mailinglists from the earlier moneybomb ? Would be awesome it they could send a message...

WE NEED TO GET ON AD HERE AND DAILY PAUL!

I think Gage frequents this site. We can message him. I don't know about Trevor? I am sure he has a HUGE list though. We really need to consolidate all lists for this.
