I've sent emails to a number of different contacts I have for various popular Ron Paul sites to ask for their support promoting the money bomb, with any luck they will respond and support us.

Hey man FYI, Dave has been adding content to a page on the site with the assets you've posted while I was working on some stuff, I don't want to slow down (or be a roadblock) to any content being added to the site that can help promote the Money Bomb (as I'm trying to keep up furiously, while we still have a few days left) so he's been helping to take care of publishing content on the site, here is a link of the page he put together:

Might as well add this one too, although we haven't come close to target we are still short $120 for hosting to cover us for next month (as it stands now the server comes down on the 15th ironically), this is the same dedicated server that hosts NoOneButPaul.com, RonPaulCountry.com, InToWin2012.com and possibly another money bomb next month if we (grassroots) decides to do one in May:

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.

EXCELLENT! Thanks for the heads up. Sorry about all that earlier, I was obviously misreading the signals I was getting. :o
 
Has anyone contacted Michael at the Daily Paul and asked him to the put the Banner prominently on Page 1.

After all, his Website is a Sponsor of the In-It-To-Win-It Money Bomb.

If not, I will attempt to Contact Him. I just do not want to do it, if someone is working with him already. Thanks!!

I sent him a message, but sometimes it's hit or miss trying to connect with him. Feel free to open up a dialog and ask him to put up some banners/videos on the front page. Here is a link to some banners he can use:

Sent about 50-60 Youtube messages to some people that helped with the NOBP money bomb to make some videos, asked them to re-upload the mary and carey's videos so that their subscribers see it and spread the word about the upcoming money bomb this morning. If anyone knows of any video channels that have large amount of Ron Paul subscribers we should contact let me know, I can send them a message through youtube or if you know of any please go ahead and send them a message asking them to help out.

Thanks

p.s. about to post the facebook ad to about 70+ Ron Paul groups

I see banners on all the other sites home pages (some are on the bottom or on the sidebar), your right I don't see a banner on CVRP, I'm sure Justin will be on soon to add it, thanks for pointing that out though, I jumped the gun without checking. :)
