Month 1 update:
I've been working closely with Frank (fran2k). So far we have achieved:
- BitShares 101 translation. View on
cryptofresh- Frank gave a long talk explaining the whole of BitShares at the first BitShares meetup in Buenos Aires to 30+ attendees.
This video recording was made of the event - see
photos here and the BitShares Argentina
google+ page. A bitUSD giveaway was done too and the cost covered by elmato.
- Shorter talk by Frank to 60+ attendees at this
Bitcoin + BitShares meetup. Video coming soon.
- Paper wallet's designed and ready for upcoming giveaways (better looking versions coming soon):

Link builing - I obtained a link with keywords to bitshares.org from the homage of politicalcortex.com. View
my article"Open Letter to David Cameron on Freedom of Speech, Government Surveillance and What to Do" at the top of the featured section on the homepage. This article is 2k words and has been submitted to other sites and awaits publication.
Only approximately half of my first month budget has been spent and I have not paid myself back the registration fee. I'll probably do that in the third month as I'd rather get fb ads running asap than pay myself back. General grass-roots marketing I've done includes a couple of Bitcointalk threads
here and
here. I've played an active role in commenting about BitShares on articles and I made a bitshares homepage digital sketch to help with the design process. I'm part way though creating an SEO keyword list - view

Expenses spreadsheet.Month 2 Plan:
Frank has agreed to start working full time for BitShares for $100bitUSD a week. Frank will be working on: Written translations, video voice overs for cn-members videos + riverhead's tutorial videos, broschure creation and street giveaway, giving talks at the meetups, organising more meetup events, basic meetup video editing and networking, making connections and other tasks.
We are also looking at sponsoring an impressive speaker who travels around Argentina talking about bitcoin, to talk about BitShares. This is not yet arranged but conversation has started. Talks with a local bitcoin exchange is also set happen too within the next couple of weeks.
A tracking method is being worked out for paper wallet + brochure giveaways.
Facebook ads will launch and send traffic to a Spanish version of rgcrypto's awesome
http://bitshares101.net funnel to build an email list and promote the book.
I will increase my article output this month, now that BitShares.org is (very nearly) up and running.
That's it for month 1! Total expenditure $641. I hold all my personal pay in bitassets ($200 a month).
I'm very much looking forward to month 2. Things can really start, with the book + website to promote we will start seeing new users.

Edit: Just want to add I've been paying from my personal account due to having trouble with my client - as you can see all the delegate pay is still with my delegate wallet (in case anyone was wondering why it's still full).
