Don't Believe Black This Out Will Reach 25,000 Pledges? Check This Out!

Wow, great job. You guys are relentless. No question now that this has the potential to be massive. :D
 
we need to push harder than ever now, we're very close to making this moneybomb a monster

Unfortunately we're limited in what we can do right now. It's great that we have the manpower to promote this now, but we won't have the full support of the community until October 1st when the 3rd quarter push ends.
 
No doubt. I just know personally, I try to promote harder than the day before, that's all I can do.

It'll be interesting to see if we get a traffic spike when we can widgets on the dailypaul, etc.
 
For sure!

I think at this point we need to go after the Admins of the popular Ron Paul facebook pages and websites and get their help. We are being very successful on our own but at this point we need their help to take this to the next level.

good idea!
 
I strongly agree. Why stop there? Go to all the ron paul-related sites

I have been trying to get in contact with the Daily Paul about this. Made an account and posted about it which resulted in being banned. Not sure how that happened!

If anyone has a Daily Paul, PLEASE promote the moneybomb over there.

I did successfully get in contact with Trevor of RunRonPaul.com and he said that he will be helping out once it gets closer to the date.

I know the moderators of these forums have been contacted about helping out and I'm sure they will.

Chris, if you could help me think of some other sites we should get into contact with that would be great. Feel free to PM me.
 
If you're going to contact the admins then get them to add the pledge counter. Here is the code to install it and a picture of it...

Yeah, this is what we need to get them to put on their sites. I saw this in the other thread, thanks for putting it here though. :)
 
Are there any good profile pics for facebook that have Ron Paul's name somewhere on there? Mine just says black this out which is fine but I think it would be better if it calls out RP specifically for people who aren't aware of whats happening.
 
I messaged Trevor again and encouraged him to put the widget up. I'll let you guys know if/when I hear back.

Also, in addition to inviting all of your friends to the event, another GREAT way to help out is to post to the most popular Ron Paul pages on Facebook. I have been doing this and normally at least 2 or 3 people hit "like" on it and are likely to attend the event, and that is for each time you post on a wall. If we all post on the most popular pages throughout the day, we can reach a lot of peeople!
 
Also, the promo image does not say anything about a moneybomb. Marketing fail. I'll try to make a better one, but I don't have the source image.. It looks like Justin made this image, so he could easily edit the current graphic to actually tell people that this is a moneybomb. MANY of my Ron Paul facebook friends are RSVP'd as "Not Attending", likely because they had no idea what the event was.

Infowars.com/prisonplanet.com would be good but not sure if they would put up the widget for free? They usually always get behind the moneybombs though.
 
its gonna be a good one for sure! lots of time to build up attendees but i wouldnt count on it becoming exponential, most likely scenario is the number of promoters grows but not as fast as the number of attendees. most attendees will not promote it. just a fact unfortunately. still i predict a solid 15,000 attendees

We will reach a critical mass at some point where the number of people who haven't attended becomes sparser and harder to find. That is when we have to promote the hardest to keep the momentum going. The more people attending, the more people getting other people to attend.

Someone else suggested this as well. Could you try to contact them? They have a contact us thing on their page I think. I tried earlier today but for some reason it wouldn't go through.

Which is why it is important to get the admins of some of these larger facebook groups to start promoting this as well.
