Constitution Day Moneybomb - Sept. 17th Promotion Ideas Thread

[Jackie Moon]

The internets have been slow today, everyone must be out BBQing and stuff. So I'm going to save a new post for tomorrow when more will see it.

In the meantime you can like the page if you haven't, and if you have you can invite your friends to like it. Same with the event.

Someone made and shared this on Twitter, was that someone here?

Also while on Instagram searching Rand posts I found some fake screenshots of Rand's NSA data center tweet where the text is edited to say he's announcing that he is leaving the race. They also had a fake CNN clip with a voiceover saying the same thing.

Unfortunately whoever is behind it did a pretty convincing job. Kinda makes you wonder. I'm not going to post it because I don't want to give it any more attention.

But I did want to comment on them on Instagram and Tweet this to make it clear:

The creator made sure it was known that it was a hoax 15 minutes later

I was going to try to just make a short 30 second video, but I couldn't make it fit so it ended up being a minute.

I still don't love it, but I had to find and download a free editing program. It was working fine... I had exported the video a few times to preview how it would look. But then the last time the software said that was only a paid feature and I'd have to buy it. I was able to sign in to my computer as a different user and trick it in to letting me export that last version but I wasn't sure if I'd be able to edit it any more so I just went with it as is.

Here's the YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pvGBO5EF80



If you want to share on Facebook though I uploaded it directly to the page to have it auto play in the feed, so it looks better if you share that post:

+Rep. Great job! Retweeted.

 

[Jackie Moon]

Thank you, I appreciate that.

Considering the program and old computer I used, and that this is only the 3rd video I've ever attempted editing (two for Ron in 2012), I guess it turned out better than it should have. It's evidence that if I can do it anyone can, so don't be afraid to try.

If anyone else has any videos or graphics or even photos of themselves holding up a sign post them in here.

I know there are some people really sharing and helping promote... so if you've invited a bunch of friends to join the event or like the page, or shared posts in a group or anything else post about it in here so we can thank you and know you're out there. And it will help encourage others to do the same.

Potentially good news. One of the other groups (organizer for the FB event on the 22nd) is looking like they will be changing their MB date to the 17th. This is in no small part due to the dedicated work everyone is doing promoting the Constitution day MB, keep up the good work all.

Awesome, great news. I welcome and appreciate everyone from there that wants to help.

And I agree that this whole thing is only possible because of the work everyone here has put in. Keep sharing, keep inviting, keep commenting. I know there are people helping that aren't posting in this thread... don't be shy. +Reps ready to fire.


As we get closer to the date I'm going to share some tweets in here of stuff that has been posted before, but they are new tweets so even if you RT'd before you can do it again.

Ups. I promoted randpauldigital and "our" Moneybomb in her google+ group...I think that my post got deleted .

September 7th (another moneybomb) shows almost zero progress. I asked are they still doing it and got only one answer: "Got facebook page but not much activity". I will post a thread about our moneybomb on PopularLiberty on friday.

Awesome, great news. I welcome and appreciate everyone from there that wants to help.

Upvoted.

I think that Facebook event page is the one that we should promote and not community page:
https://www.facebook.com/events/1473078286348947/

RandPaul2016 that created it has 100.000+ likes and more appeal at the moment. Based on previous money-bombs it is best way for people to get involved and recruited... also that way people can invite their friends and they their friends etc. I am not sure but I think you get notification about event day and there are some other positives too. Or is there that something changed with Facebook (I am not very often on it)?

Thanks for the upvote and the comment on Reddit.

Yeah, I agree that event invitations are the best because it sends a notification to everyone invited. I definitely do want people to join and invite their friends to the event. I want people to join and invite friends even if they can't donate themselves.

The reason I've been linking from Twitter to the Facebook page though is because we don't have control of the event, or the Rand Paul 2016 page that created it. But I have been linking to the event in every Facebook post from the money bomb page.

I can fit links to the event, Twitter, and RandPaulMoneyBomb.com in to every post from the money bomb page.

So if we can get them to our page we can then direct them other places - like the event, here, the fundraiser to cover expenses etc.

Plus if they like the page they'll see the rest of the graphics and videos and stuff that get posted, and be able to share those. If they just join the event they probably won't see the promo stuff.

Here is a rough draft of some copy I need ASAP. I know some of you here are really good writers, could you take a look and let me what needs to be changed? I'm putting in $50 each in the description since I don't think we have come up with a target donation per indvidual for the day. The default would be $100, and some mentioned it should be approachable like 10 or 20, but $50 may be a good compromise. Also it sounds like a number of people are against defining a specific goal (for example $1M) and letting the official campaign come up with the goal once the ticker goes up, which sounds fine to me, but we probably want to suggest an amount per donation in our promo? Thanks in advance.

Edit: This would be for a facebook status message.

Looks good, I like it.

I'm not sure what suggested amount works best, I notice the campaign asks for $20.16 as a standard in their emails and Tweets. But I've also gotten things asking for just $5.

I figure they do that because they just want to get people to make a first donation even if it's small as an ice breaker, and then the campaign has their info and can market to them later.

Guys one of our pro video editors from 2012 just got in touch with me. He's down for creating a video for the MB the only problem is doesn't have the time to scan through videos to look for soundbites. If anyone has an idea and can scan through videos jotting down time stamps he would be willing to build the video and make it look great. I would do it myself but I'm slammed right now between everything else I'm committed to. Anyone want to put their Film Director hat on and put together a script?

Respond here or PM me.

What would be the theme for the video? What should I be looking for in these clips?

 

[Jackie Moon]

I'm going to try to make a graphic about how buying stuff from the store also counts towards the money bomb total.

Might get someone that wasn't sure about donating but would agree to buy a shirt or whatever... or someone that would donate $20 but might buy $100 worth of swag.

Just to check again, I know it's a long shot but does anyone have a connection to some kind of prize we can give away for people that promote the money bomb? I have the potential contest set up but don't have a prize yet.

Could be anything from the super awesome like meeting Rand, a phone call, short video shout out, or letter from Rand type thing.

Next level of still really cool would be if someone here were going to a Rand event and got him to sign a pocket Constitution or something. Or any other ideas you might have for a prize that would motivate people to share and promote the money bomb.

I'd imagine the clip of him saying we should boldy march forth carrying the Constitution in one hand and the bill of rights in the other is a must. I think he said it a couple times but i believe it was the most enthusiastic in his announcement speech. Id link it but i cant buffer video well right now. Anything with him talking about protecting different amendments which there should be a lot of to choose from

 

[orenbus]

Constitution Day of course.

Was thinking of something along the lines of this, only better. I remember Napolitano did an interview a couple of months ago talking about Rand maybe we include that along with some mentions of others endorsing Rand, including Ron? If so we would need to locate those videos and get timestamps that he can use.



Integrated with the current Avatar and Logo intermixed with Rand Paul quotes.

I could send him the video we currently have for quotes and he can do his video and animation magic?



Wanted to see if anyone had a different thought, or ideas on this?

Edit: Here is a video some guy (probably from DP) edited from an original video on youtube for the 7th, I think he just grabbed a video someone else made and slapped in the text. If we are to use any of these clips someone would need to help find the originals on youtube without the sound over and text effects. If you can spare some time please help find these, or if there are any other ideas, please share.



Or perhaps a similar style like this? Again we would need someone to go out and help find clips on youtube with links and timestamps if needed to get HQ video to be used.

Yeah, that was the original clip that inspired me to make a short video. It's a good quote and fits the theme well.

I was trying to fit that in to a short 20-30 second thing for people with short attention spans, but it just didn't flow right. I also wanted the "Will you lovers of liberty rise to the occasion?" part at the end as a call to action.

I was in a rush when looking for those clips so that's the best I could find that were Constitution related. And I wanted to use ones where he was speaking strong and emphatically. When he speaks like that people get excited. The whole announcement speech is good.

Constitution Day of course.

Oh yeah, I like that old Ron Paul Constitution Day one with clips from The Patriot and stuff. Fits with the guy in the avatar. I can't think of any movies or series that have parts about the Constitution... The Patriot and John Adams are good but have to do with Independence. But I guess it can be used as background footage.

I can PM you the links to the videos and time stamps I used if you guys end up wanting to use any of them.
