Official 11.11.11 Planning Thread - 17,000 Pledges - Decentralize Facebook Promotion

I've been tracking and graphing the data for the main event and official pledges and posting it on another thread ( http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showth...cebook-likes&p=3710746&viewfull=1#post3710746 ). I could start posting it here and add the total from all the individual pages as well to give us a grand total. There will be some overlap, but that's not a big deal.

Here are the last two graphs I posted:
facebooktrendA-2011-11-02.jpg

facebooktrendB-2011-11-02.jpg


Compared to the BTO event we are quite far behind on that front it would seem. Hopefully people are spreading the word in other ways that simply aren't as easily tracked. I've been following (but not tracking) Paul's general daily donations on http://paul.depositwiz.com/ and as you can see he's hardly gotten any donations since the last money bomb. Seems like most people only donate on moneybomb days or the day before/after. What that indicates to me is we aren't getting much new supporters by other means who are donating independently of the moneybombs which is a bad thing.

Can you label those graphs somehow? I'm easily confused.

Yeah I can change the labels, was trying to keep them concise so they'd all easily fit on the graph.
Pledged = pledged on official Support Them Now site
Yes = Attending
No = Not attending
May = Maybe attending
May+yes = Total of maybes and those attending
Awaiting = # awaiting reply
Total = Awaiting + Attending + Not Attending + Maybes
(Should probably call that FB total since it doesn't include pledges)
 
Changed the thread title to include our 2nd goal. You can let the other strategy thread die if you want.
 
The overwhelming economic strata of earner that is donating to this campaign gets a check on the First of the Month and the 15th of the Month, or if the 1st or 15th fall on a weekend they get that check on the preceding Friday.

Most of the donors to the Ron Paul campaign are living check to check, even if they make 90K a year because most of them have children or other family members they are supporting.
 
I sent two PM's to Gage about adding the image banners and pledge widgets to the website without any reply back from him. It took me a couple days to create all those images and I don't want to see my time wasted for no reason. I also sent a queston about the pledge competition without any reply. I'm trying to do everything I can to give this money bomb a boost and I feel like I'm being held back or ignored.

Yeah, but they're not signing up at the pledge site. Speaking of emails, has an email gone out to the BTO pledges? I'm not aware of one having been sent.

The whole thing had bad marketing from the beginning. No one wanted to listen to my marketing advice, so here we are.

No, WD-NY said he was going to send something out yesterday, but I haven't received anything. I'm starting to lose hope for this one.
 
People seem pretty wary of putting their email on a list. They're much happier to click "like" on facebook or join a group or respond to an event. I agree that the marketing has been awful. We should have gone with an End the Wars theme. The theme should have been all about appealing to the maximum amount of Ron Paul supporters, not an outreach campaign. We may have the same problem with "tea party" since it's kind of a dirty word to lots of Ron Paul supporters after the pro-war Republicans hijacked it.

Great. That should have been the first thing that happened after the site was fixed up to jumpstart the pledges.

I agree. I was pushing for the "Bring Them Home" theme because it's something that would have energized supporters. I also never thought about the possibility of people rejecting the tea party theme. Actually, I've seen some people referring to it as The "Real" Tea Party Money Bomb. Maybe we should look into that. It might help separate us from the fakes and I think it would help to energize more supporters. We'd be rebelling against the fake media created tea party.

What is needed is to take a lot of Facebook events and cycle them on the website while a script captures all attendees from all the events and puts up a total.
