TeaParty11.com - Dec 16th Money Bomb - Ron Paul Tea Party

[Sentinelrv]

I've been thinking, we need something on RonPaulForums that keeps everyone updated on the money bomb's progress. I know we have an updating pledge banner, but that doesn't show us how far away we are from completing our goal. I think it would be a great idea to create a horizontal pledge meter, similar to the SuperVoterBomb money meter that was at the top of the forum for the last couple of weeks. It would show our overall progress and how close we are to reaching our 65,000 pledge goal. It would also create urgency and show people how far away we are from our goal. Would this be simple to create? I think it would help to rally the forum around the pledge goal and get them promoting the website. Not everybody reads these promotion threads, so we need to put this goal right in front of their faces so they're constantly made aware that there's work to be done. Right now everyone seems to be too relaxed and assured of victory. The pledge meter would show them how far away we are from our goal and wake them up to this reality. It doesn't cost any money to fill the pledge meter either, only their time. It might also be a good idea to have some text on the side of the meter that says something like "Learn How to Promote Here" and it would link to my promotion thread. When could something like this be finished?

I suggested a thermometer a few days back. A widget that has a thermometer and links on the widget for "Email Your Friends" "Twitter", etc, would help.

I've probably asked for a redesign of the Facebook event banner over five times in this thread. Is there anyone here that has the image editing skills to do it? Besides updating the Facebook event, I want to see if I can get the Ron Paul 2012 Facebook page to upload the banner so everyone sees it.

Are you wanting a "profile banner", or for Community Pages, a "Wall" and "Info" Page banner?

Do you mean a banner that goes in the 5 "Photo Strip" slots at the top of the Wall and Info pages?

On "Community Pages" on facebook these banners that I describe, the 5 pieces of the banner display randomly, they don't hold their position.

On Personal Profiles, the 5 images hold their position, and http://www.facebook.com/RonPaulBanners will be making such a banner, for personal profile pages, on the Wall and Info page Photo Strip Slots.

Now that the pledge banners are solid, this type of banner can now be made.

No, I meant the one below. It's the one we're using on the Facebook event. It's outdated. It still says "The Revolution has Begun" instead of "The Revolution Continues." It also has the outdated goals. It should read like this...

65,000 donors
$100 each
$6,500,000

This is the main banner that people can use as their Facebook avatar. I wanted to contact the Ron Paul 2012 Facebook page and ask them to upload it so their 260,000+ likes will see it when they visit the page. That's a lot of exposure.

I just updated the Facebook Event banner.

Thanks, I updated the promotion thread with it.

What do you think about the pledge meter idea? I think it would really help to rally everyone around the pledge goal, just as it did for the SuperVoterBomb. Not many people even seem to realize we have a pledge goal. I've seen people on here posting about the money bomb that were clueless. This would make everyone aware of the goal and encourage them to promote the website to fill the meter up.

Could you simply replace the current widgets with ones that have a pledge meter? So all the websites that already have a widget don't need to replace it?

 

[lucent]

Sigh. Ron Paul Flix still does not have a widget up and RonPaul.com still has their widget at the bottom of their website. Call me very fracking disgruntled right now.

 

[lucent]

Still need a 150px wide widget.

Dusman asked you what the vertical length should be, but I'm guessing you didn't see his post.

I was thinking about doing this more for the forums here and not everywhere else, but if Dusman feels he could fit everything into one widget then more power to him.

 

[lucent]

He could have a meter at the bottom of the horizontal widget similar to an experience bar in an MMO and along the side of the vertical widgets.

Someone want to upload a video response the to Newt attack video advertising the moneybomb?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWKTOCP45zY

This is where it would be best to have like a 30 second or 60 second ad to upload.

 

[lucent]

dusman, sent a private message.

 

[lucent]

Edited.

Trying to get GhoeberX to set his video as a video response, but it's the middle of the night where he is, hopefully he'll see it first thing this AM.

I would love to see more people stepping up for Facebook promoting ?

Don´t see many "active" members of this topic stepping up for it either...just pointing out, lead by example...

Ok, I'm done creating the first TeaParty11 update email. I'm just waiting for WD-NY to check it and send it out. It basically lets people know that if they want the campaign to be able to air the attack ad in Iowa and New Hampshire, then they better start helping out in promotion so we can get the campaign the funding they need to air more TV commercials. The whole email is designed to send people to my promotion thread so they can learn how they can help out. All of them are already signed up, so there's no point in sending them to the website. We just need to get them involved now. The next emails will include more ways for people to help. Oh, I also included an image of a YouTube player that leads people to the new video. I thought it was pretty cool looking in the email and would get people excited that hadn't seen it yet.
