I need your help again guys (:

Even a Weekly News Update - "since last Monday these polls were released... Ron could be seen on these shows... RP issued a press release on Libya (expound)... This is what I've done for Ron Paul (talk about t-shirt Monday and your experience or however else you were politically active this week) end with 'so send me a video and let us know what you've done!'" -of course you wouldn't just be reading it flat like that - you'd use your own words and flare. :)

We could even keep a running thread each week of polls, appearances, etc.. in a clear bullet-ed list to help keep things straight.

That's a really good idea V3n! Thanks for keeping this thread on track and not letting these jokers de-rail it. Here's a very committed young lady with the willingness to put herself 'out-there' for the cause of Liberty with the serious opportunity to reach tons of new folks! +rep
 
Okay, so for those of you who don't know me, I'm Alexa (:




The big problem that I'm looking at, is that a lot of my videos for every monday will generate a lot of attention in the Ron Paul Community, but there is not one video that will really stick out more than the rest..I'm trying to come up with an idea for just one very well put together video that could attract hundreds of thousands of viewers, and that way, more people will find out about Ron Paul Mondays, and my channel!

What are your thoughts? and will you guys work together to come up with maybe two or three really strong Ideas, and tell me what you think about everyone else's ideas....

(:

Thank you guys so much!



Virals are from either incredible unique content(funny, cute, music, TV shows), coverage of a major event(tsunami) or lots of subscribers and facebook.
To get lots of subscribers quickly, laverage those channels with huge subscriber bases.

Talk to Philip DeFranco(sxephil), ask him for help, he is long time Ron Paul supporter and can give better advice then me. He can advise you but also he maybe(just maybe) willing to cover you on his show or do something collaborative with you, both of which would increase your coverage vastly.
There maybe some other tubers who would be open but start with sexy Phil as he is a Dr Paul supporter, with 1.7+ million subscribers and a helpful honest guy.
Don't forget facebook, a good idea is to post your fresh videos to all the Ron Paul facebook groups and people will share them if the video impresses, in that light you kinda want a viral video to be light hearted, so that people feel is can be shared without offening anyone - not a small order with political stuff. Lastly, timing can make all the difference, if you make and post a Ron Paul videos at the times of TV coverage(from debates) you'll find major increase in views both from Youtube, Facebook but also possible from Google if there is a suitable title.

BTW Why are you videos flipper/mirrored, same with the smiley :)

I really like that idea! ! !
 
I think that maybe trying to do one big thing wouldnt be as effective as many little things.

That is also a major point in creating a successful channel... keeping it updated.

May I suggest doing something small each week to promote or raise money for Ron Pauls campaign?
You could so a short video on each and urge others to do the same.

You could start REALLY small.

For example:
Do a video suggesting donating your loose change each month or something.
Maybe do a car wash with some friends, you can hold signs, or hand out flyers and donate the proceeds to the campaign.
Perhaps a "what did YOU do this week for Ron Paul?" kind of theme...

Just my 2 cents. Ultimately, Im pleased that you are supporting Paul, and if you have gotten a single person to buy a shirt from the campaign that otherwise would not have, you have already succeeded in my opinion.

Im also glad that you are trying to continue your momentum. Its best to strike while the irons hot!
Good luck!
 
Also, I'm looking for ideas of the best shirt to order! (:

There's a link in my sig... I've added some girls shirts too... :)

Props to you for putting yourself out there and pro-active. Great job!

You could do video updates on the conversations that your Ron Paul T-shirts get you into.... I know I've had some interesting ones wearing mine out.
 
I agree that anti-war topic is a good one. More suitable for independents though.

"Ron Paul was right" about the economy is a good topic. The more we can hammer that home, the better. It plays well with conservatives, republicans. Show clips from 2002, 2003 of Ron Predicting the bubble, etc.

De-fang Gold Standard kookiness. Call it "sound money" or "honest money". I would like to see a video that clearly explains Ron's position on *competitive currencies* and going forward to a new honest money system. Should frame it as something new, not a return to what people regard as a failed gold standard (bi-metallism.) Point out that it is because the gov has a monopoly on money that they can do all the inflating, finance these wars, finance the welfare state, etc. The simple act of legalizing competitive currencies and removing taxation from precious metal sales would start us down the road to recovery. Truly, i think this is THE point people need to understand and is much more important than auditing or even ending the fed.
 
How about a series of adventure videos?

You could go to different landmarks and interview the public. If it's edited sharply and has some entertainment value, the public could really become interested in your videos.

I would love to have something like this on a t-shirt...

I watched her first video and had to chuckle a bit when she said "I wore this RP shirt for the first time and I can't believe how many reactions I got." I'm guessing a lot more reactions than most of us will ever get wearing a RP shirt. Probably because she's smoking hot, and the rest of us aren't.

Anyway, I'll wear one of my RP shirts on Monday. I try to wear them all the time when I'm out, except when I'm at work.

Abortion, and gay marriage are two topics that are extremely divisive even amonst Paul supporters. I'd avoid those topics. Anti-war is a good topic, though. Especially make sure to include why his stance actually makes America stronger and more secure.

I think gay marriage is divisive for the repub primaries, but Paul's feelings on abortion shouldn't be. We have to get the religious right on board. But I don't know how we get the elderly on SS and Medicare. I don't think many of them watch youtube or even use the internet. I guess as someone else suggested, perhaps a little field reporting could help. Maybe this sounds like a loser, but how about going to a retirement center to spread his message? I don't know. It's the elderly that are being sold a bill of goods by the establishment, and we need to correct it.
