GET BUSY NOW, WE CAN`T FAIL ON THIS ONE!

[Slist]

What I find more interesting is that the rate of new pledges has picked up a bit lately.

This is good news since we can safely assume that every RP fan already knew about teaparty and signed up a long time ago.. New pledges stand for completely new people.

Yeah we still need 77,000 more subscribers in 12 days.....

But we can do it, just more internet exposure

[Maverick]

Yeah, what's the deal with this? With all of the promotion and viral marketing for this thing (and even RP mentioning it himself several times), I thought it would've had more views by now.

[EvilEngineer]

I'm not too worried about traffic to the teaparty site, primarily because this event has been plugged in the MSM a number of times, with no mention to the site. People know the date is Dec 16th, and like Nov 5th we will get tons of people donating who didn't sign up. Not to mention there are duplicate sites for the teaparty on the web, so there is a division for those who don't frequent this forum.

Well Ron Paul never really mentioned the web site...all he said was something like "they're planning something on the 16th"

[Eric23]

I know about a dozen people who plan on donating on the 16th who aren't registered with the site, myself included. Traffic to the site is hardly a big deal.

I say, don´t look at the pledges, cause

- Many people will donate MORE than 100$!


- Lot of people don´t sign the pledge but will donate!


Try to increase the amount of visitors!!! We need 500.000 views to that site!

[Pete Kay]

I haven't even gone to the site. I'm well aware of December 16th just as I was aware of November 5th without going to the website. People know about the 16th through all kinds of avenues. The website is just one.

[goRPaul]

The campaign is going down! We've lost all momentum! We don't own the internet anymore! We're DOOMED!

Cool it. It's two weeks out; we're going to have an amazing Tea Party. I expect the couple days leading up to it will have the internet infested with teabags all over the place.

That´s true, but spreading that address around is not going to do bad for us!

The only thing that people need to know about is that the grassroots is having a massive fundraiser on December 16th to commerate the Boston Tea Party. What else is there to know? The website in my eyes is not that important.

It´s a good info site for a FIRST time donor...

- It tells that we are donating to Ron Paul

- It tells why

- It tells the goal

- It tells how many people are allready pledging

- It directs you to ron paul 2008 -website

- It shows you videos about the event

Yes, you can TELL all of those things to the people with your own mouth, but i find the web-site very good when i´m promoting tea party 07 online.

People who are ALLREADY supporters, that website has nothing to offer but few videos...

[jrich4rpaul]

We have to have confidence rather than anxiety here. We're already gonna have at least double the donors than the 5th.

I am in no way saying we don't need to promote it. BECAUSE WE DO!!!

[OferNave]

Remember that the teaparty site was plagued by some technical difficulties for several days, during which all growth was stalled. If we keep promoting it, it will continue to grow from now on. And they've got beefy new servers and a better colocation facility, I think, so we're all set for serious business.

And, like on Nov 5, tons of people will donate that haven't and won't pledge, and ton's of people that have pledged will actually donate more than $100.

If you recall, Nov 5 had about 19k pledges but raise 4.3M. Nov 30 had about 2300 pledges but raised $530k. So the consistent pattern is that we raise about 2.3 times what is expected by official pledges.

Anyways, what will happen will happen. All that matters now is doing what we can now.

[Minuteman]

Im sure a majority of people are like me. I dont do pledges; when the day roles around for the event I go donate.

[qwerty]

All i say, i would feel much more confident if we would have 500.000 visitors on that site!

[hambone1982]

The tea party site keeps crashing or something. Today is the first time that I've been able to get it to load in over a week. Maybe that has something to do with only 155,000 people having been able to visit the site.

[Sematary]

Yeah we still need 77,000 more subscribers in 12 days.....

But we can do it, just more internet exposure

Based on historic precedent (which now exists), we only need 26,002 subscribers.
Historic precedent has shown us in our own experience that the number of donors is likely to be more than double the number of signatories and that, based on the Nov 5 experiment, the average donation is likely to be more than $100
So, technically, if we break 45,000 signatories (very doable) then we will break the 10 million dollar mark.

[koob]

I'll donate but I didn't subscribe. And even if people don't know about it until that DAY I imagine the campaign will send out emails and people will wee what is going on and they'll donate!
