AWESOME!

Let's do this! Time to push this social marketing, grassroots style!

Chip-in?

This is actually pretty good CPI as opposed to other forms of social media advertising.. We can buy Lindsay Lohan for I think 5k per tweet.

Seriously JayDee, that's in line with what needs to happen. I'm not yet sure about having Lindsay do so... but it's the second tier that makes the difference, so she would obviously make an impact regardless.

I've done several commercial proposals on how to leverage Twitter and it's all about the second-tier. Running tests on my own followers I found that my 2,300 followers were following 12.7 million unique twitter users. That's probably around 20% of the base.

I'm putting together a more strategic effort for Twitter after the Ames moneybomb. I set up an account @RonPaulAmes to get the ball rolling.

One important fact we need to address is that we are saturating ourselves with our social media efforts, which is directly impacting our effectiveness online. For example, the Conviction ad has been posted several times on Youtube and is "splitting the vote", which will prevent it from making most viewed lists, etc.

Since the campaign hasn't taken the lead on these things (and I wouldn't expect them too, TBO), it's putting the pressure on a decentralized support group to do it for them. Therefore, before primaries, we need to setup a hub for all our online activities and get it coordinated. As of right now, this is the best place for that.

Just joking about Lindsay.. but yeah I agree.

One of the things that had a big impact last time around was the full page ad in USA Today.

I talked with some supporters about running local radio and TV ad's and setting up a web site to be able to get it organized, perhaps online activities like this can be done in the same way.

We need to get our artists, marketing, and donators together in a way that can make this happen..

So this is a technical problem. How do collaborate on a project like this around the internet and get the most out of it?

We need to do this. Talk about bang for our buck!

Why don't we run multiple tweets?

Has somone already taken this idea up or are we still waiting? I think that we should at least incorporate this idea with our next money bomb...!

 

[tangent4ronpaul]

you know, when we use this fact, it makes us sound ignorant. People don't think this is a problem, because even laymen can understand "money nutrality", in that prices and wages adjust to inflation. They don't think this is a problem, and if we don't bring up the fact that this hurts savers, they think that this is a non-issue, and that we are misled to believe it is.

in the past 10 years inflation has reduced the purchasing power of the $ by X%, while wage increases only increased Y% and saving accounts lost Z% of their value.

Just so everyone knows, I am ready to try something like this out but I would rather it be a collaborative effort. Anyone else game..?

I am thinking something like this below for a pilot run:

Let's Take America Back From The Rich Bankers and Wall Street Fat Cats!

"You should tell your friends how to take America back by voting for Ron Paul for president in 2012!"
