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

[JamesButabi]

I've emailed them numerous times through various ways with no response. Pretty unfortunate.

However, I just got these numbers from Lew Rockwell:

B1 is unavailable, which is the spot at the top of every article. We can do C4 on the blog or A3 on the front page. http://www.lewrockwell.com/advertising/zones-prices.html

$200.00 per week.

I also have a widget for the size of the A3 and C4. C4 is at the top of every blog post.

Have you already got in contact with someone on LRC? I think A3 on the front page would be pretty good

Pretty sure we have gotten up to around 480. I wonder if sending invites to Tea Party groups and Liberterian groups would be worth it?

We need to AT LEAST break 1000!

Here was the message I was using if you would like to continue. This has provided great results so far.

Hello,

Ron Paul grassroots have been very busy promoting a new moneybomb to counter the media blackout that has once again occurred to Ron Paul's campaign. I hope your meetup will join us in this effort, as this is shaping up to be a very big event with huge potential. Almost 20,000 people have already pledged to donate on October 19th to the Ron Paul campaign. Can you help us promote?

Lets push so we can at least hit one thousand for today.

I'm donating, but will not be putting my name on any list and I'm sure there are at least several thousand people that will be doing the same. 3 million should be attainable and would consider that a huge success considering it's Oct. I'd love to reach what many are hoping for but we would seriously need 40 to 50 thousand folks donating. With 25 thousand donating give or take that's why I'm sayin 3 million.

Id take 3 million, but anything less and id be dissapointed. Will you help us promote?

Oddone...I have over 2600 friends on facebook, but it doesn't do me much good. I can post things on my wall that they see, but I can't mass mail them. I have to sit here and click on each name one by one...and check to see first if they are already attending. It is pretty slow going. But, if you want, I am happy to give you my facebook name over there so you can copy my whole list. I have tried to only add Ron Paul supporters. message me if you want the info.

I am getting people complaining that they go to the bto page to try to pledge, but you can't do anything until they confirm your email address. And the emails are not coming right away. I know we are going to get fake email addresses if we don't confirm, but I suggest we stop that step. First, people often give an email address they don't use very often and they are going to forget to confirm it later. And second, if people want to claim they are donating more than they are I think that actually helps us as people get more excited.

What do you all think?

it's more complicated than that. Double opt-in will help keep deliverability of the emails high. Usually it the amount of time it takes to get the confirmation email is more dependent on their email service. I know Yahoo can be a real PITA

What responder do you use? Can you export all unverified emails and do a separate one time mail the day before the blast?
