Is anyone able to make a post for Daily Paul? My account is like 2 days old so for some reason I cannot.

A copy/pasta of the front page or a good post with the links included would be much appreciated! Then send me the link in PM so I can add to OP for people to upvote.

I've never had a Twitter account and I just made one -- Start tweeting the development stages now if you could please. We need people to help ChipIn for the website and get more hands in on this project!

Those are all wrong! We, as continued supporters understand this. We, the ones who are continually being tapped for donations and digging ever deeper into our pockets, but we CANNOT afford another MB like Give Me Liberty.

The only thing wrong with the last moneybomb was that you had unrealistic expectations. With half the states behind us, you simply are NOT going to get as many people willing to vote, and most of those that you will have already maxxed out or come close to it.

Getting a million dollars in 4 days was not a bad thing. If you want to aimhigher, that is fine..but don't imply that last week was a failure.

But maybe someone on the campaign should buy a Mega Millions ticket. If it hits, then he instantly has more money than Romney!

what is your username on twitter? follow me here and I'll follow back: https://twitter.com/#!/usernamenuse

when you get started it helps to 'direct' your tweets to someone with more followers, I don't have a ton since I just started this campaign myself, but I'd retweet your stuff, and there are a bunch of other Ron Paul followers who will. Also sign up at www.ronpaultweeps.com because we follow eachother and retweet stuff.

Done.

Very interesting to note -- There is a thread on DP about this:

http://www.dailypaul.com/222889/ron-y-2012

It is more of an Infobomb then a Moneybomb and brings up a VERY convincing rhetoric. Not only is it a new concept but it is also something that could be very monumental. What we can tie in with the viral aspect -- is a RON PAUL PAYDAY program which will be an auto deduction for 5, 10, 20 from weekly/bi weekly paychecks.

I've sent an email to some of the lower volunteers of the campaign in hopes be able to forward myself to the web admins of the RonPaul2012 site to set up the program in conjunction with the Infobomb..

If we could get atleast 100,000 people to sign up for $10 a week out of their paychecks? --- There are 1,000,000 people who have voted for RP

you have to be careful with using other people's websites to gather money. We had scams here and there. I'm sure the campaign has a way to do this...

here is another place to send questions: [email protected]

Some people do this. I have so many accumulated 'only $10' type things that I don't like ANYTHING that automatically renews, but I know a lot of people will likely prefer that way.

Anyway to start a Facebook trend? Blacking out the eyes for "Black This Out" caught-on like crazy!

Some way to change your Facebook profile pic...

Maybe a certain pose?

Or holding a sign that says "I am IN IT TO WIN IT!" (using "I" as in "I am with Ron Paul til the end! I am in it to win it!) it's a bit ambiguous, so people will ask questions - if you hold a sign that says "Ron Paul is in it to win it!" it doesn't spark conversation. IMO

Just brainstorming here.. any other ideas?

Going good. Has the domain been taken care of, yet? I know it should be soon, if not already.

I'm going to begin work on a couple little avatars and graphics, which I am pretty rusty with. It's about all I can do besides promote.

PM me if anyone needs anything, I'll help in whatever way I can.
 
Hey guys I just purchased the following domains with the first one that is going to be the default domain used on the site and related applications developed unless there is a better domain we can use that is available in the next day or two that we can grab let me know, the sooner the better as promotion and technical work will revolve around the domain we go with. I'm setting up the site now. If you haven't yet please help out by donating to the chipin to cover costs and to help us work on this for the next couple of weeks, right now we need $30 for an SSL certificate to support a facebook app we'll be building which facebook requires. Thanks.

Ron Paul Supporters,

I noticed the last money bomb didn't really have a website, the creative drive, focused development, promotion and marketing support that it should have had. With regard to the creation of the April money bomb site, graphics, promotion, etc., the project should be elevated above a simple “volunteer assignment” in order to be truly effective. I know normally we would want people to volunteer for web development duty, but this might not be the best way to get the the results we need in terms of fund raising during the next money bomb date. Perhaps a new approach is necessary, and this project should be conceived in the same light as a professionally made promotional event as we've done in the past with our more efficient money bombs, and can grow from lessons learned to make the next one as successful as it can be. To that end, I thought would run this by you guys so that at least the idea would be on the table.

Both my friend Dave (graphic designer) and I (programmer) would like to work on the next money bomb as we did building out the site and marketing/advertising graphics as well as doing promotion and communications for [B]www.NoOneButPaul.com[/B] back in February. In order to do this right we would need to be able to focus on the new site for April for the next few weeks working on it full-time. Below is a quick description for the project and a link to the associated chipin. Indeed, a chipin or other similar fundraising initiative must happen in order to cover of all the costs involved such as paying for email distribution to 10k+ subscribers from all the previous money bombs, advertising and promotion fees, hosting as well as misc expenses and be able to cover us for the next few weeks while we work on the site.

(chipin summary)
Hello Ron Paul Revolutionaries, I'm a programmer by trade and work with a great designer and we both have experience in the web development industry. We are both eager to work on the next money bomb website, graphics and applications come April, however in order to do this we would need to clear our schedules and be able to work on the site full-time for the next couple of weeks. In order to be done correctly we would have to invest quite a lot of time and resources, including what could amount to 100+ hours of work by each of us. Our intention is to create a polished, professional site, graphics and applications from the ground up. Although personal funds were expended for the NOBP Money Bomb that reached over $2 Million in Feb. a more concerted and professional approach with regard to funding is necessary. A realistic budget must be created that would cover the various costs. Some of the things that must be incorporated into this budget include mailing list distribution costs for 10K+ email addresses of Ron Paul supporters, as well as web hosting, and promotion of the MB. Manpower expenditures must be considered as well, because our own bills must be tended to during the few weeks of the site’s development even as we put our concerted, full-time effort to creating site that’s professional and effective. We believe that anything less than a full-time concerted effort would result in a marketing work, graphics, applications and a site that is haphazard, difficult to navigate, and – functionally speaking – unable to meet the demands of a site in which moneys are totaled, traffic is tallied, and buzz is generated to direct to the official site during the money bomb date.

We need your help in order to allow us to do this critical work by contributing what you can. We are ready to move on the money bomb promotion work, graphics, site, marketing, etc. and to do all the promotion work that would go with it to make sure that supporters across the country know where to go when the time comes. To that end, we plan to build viral applications that would draw supporters to a the site that will be easy to remember, just as we had done with No One But Paul, but this time, we will bring all the tools we can to the table to make sure that the new money bomb will generate more traffic and therefore more fund raising for the official campaign when the time comes. If this start up money can be raised in the next few days we can get started right away. Keep in mind that we are also open to suggestions for effective applications that would augment standard money bomb sites, even those that were used on Black This Out, Tea Party 11, No One But Paul, etc. Money Bombs.

Here is a link to NoOneButPaul.com as sample of the kind of site we can put together for the next money bomb.
