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

[davidt!]

Ok, the awaiting reply list is driving me crazy. I have started private messaging anyone with something Ron Paul related in their profile pic.

Good idea!

 

[dusman]

We need back links asap

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?319815-Back-Links-For-Black-This-Out-ASAP

dusman you should add some meta tags as well

black this out, moneybomb, Ron Paul moneybomb, Ron Paul, are some suggestions.

Back links are definitely necessary. However, meta tags are almost entirely useless these days. Google doesn't even use them in factoring their rankings.

 

[Spanky]

are the numbers in line to have a $5-$6 million dollar day?

 

[pacodever]

anyone know how many weve added just today, last nights stats slipped by us so i can't find a good starting point for today to measure progress.

My unofficial numbers:

21-Sep 1440
22-Sep 1773
23-Sep 2244
24-Sep 2677
25-Sep 3313
26-Sep 3870
27-Sep 4572
28-Sep 5132
29-Sep 5596
30-Sep 5869
1-Oct 6279 (as of posting, so +410)

I'm in Guam so I try to capture the numbers at midnight eastern time but it can be +-2 hours depending on my work schedule.

Eh I just get in the habit of putting meta tags on all my sites. Most of the large sites out there still use them. I know its no big, but every bit helps.

If the trend lines of past moneybombs are any indication... we are definitely on pace to be close. Currently, if you straight-line the slope.. it puts us at about 15k attendees on Facebook alone.. and that is with no expectation of growth.

In regards to blackthisout.com, we are at around 11% conversion rate with an average of 2k unique visitors per day. Just like early donations are more valuable than later donations... so should early pledges be more significant. What is unique about this moneybomb is the culture jamming Justin has started. We probably have at least a few hundred people promoting the moneybomb 24/7 because of that. That is something we've never experienced.. so it's going to be exciting to see what happens.

Just wait until we get all the major Ron Paul web sites featuring widgets at the top of their home pages. It will get very interesting.

 

[Spanky]

well we need to promote even harder, cause we need this to be a serious contender

 

[Uriah]

So... let me get this right.

$8 million for Q3 and $6 million 3 weeks into the next quarter?

I think this quarter will be $20 million plus. Kickin' into overdrive baby!

If the voter blitz is successful and Ron is polling a solid 2nd in Iowa I could see this turning into a $40,000,000 quarter. In Q4 of '07 Ron raised roughly 25,000,000 i believe so the precedent is there.

Not sure if you saw this Dusman...

Dusman, here is another addition I made to the YouTube promotional section. Keep it in mind when you update the page...

Notify your Subscribers by Re-Uploading a Black This Out Promotional Video

1. Download and install a program that lets you download videos from YouTube. I personally use Orbit Downloader.

2. Download this Black This Out Promotional Video. It's short, energizing and gets the point across.

3. Re-Upload the video to your YouTube account. This will notify all your subscribers to watch the video.

4. This is the easiest and fastest way to spread Black This Out across YouTube!

Also, I heard the widget code changed. Is this true, because I'll need to update the first post if so.

Also, I received no response from either Matt Collins or Debbie Hopper yet. Is there anyone else from the campaign I can contact about "A Day with Ron Paul"?

You can try ronpaulhawaii. We were discussing getting a grassroots liaison a few weeks ago and he indicated that he had contacts in the campaign.

ETA: Debbie Hopper is with Campaign for Liberty, last I heard. She's still listed as staff.

Thanks, I sent him the same message and let him know that so far we haven't heard anything from anyone about the idea.

 

[Sentinelrv]

I'm not sure of the exact number of people we got yeserday because it slipped my mind due to the 3rd quarter push, but I know it was around 200, so I left it as that. So we got about 471 people today. Now we just need to build the momentum back up to where it was...

Sep 20 - 1,222 (+224)
Sep 21 - 1,440 (+218)

I see the banner there in that link, but what is the code you're using now. Is it on the website or is that outdated also?

The code on the web site is accurate.

 

[Sentinelrv]

The code on the web site is accurate.

Hmm, the code on the first post is the same as what's on the site, so you must have changed it before I added it to the first post.
