Title: Number of Accounts per Day
Post by: fuzzy on October 31, 2014, 06:14:39 am
Notice the trend... 

My prediction:  If within 2 weeks of the time when the marketing push is supposed to begin, Pitchforks will be sharpened.

Look on the bright side... After Nov.5, the blockchain employs who it wants. So let's sharpen our pitchforks and vote in delegates who will actually grow the market cap.

Remember, remember, the 5th of November. 8)

Won't be live until after the Nov.5 hardfork. If I register the degate name now it won't qualify for capital infusion. However, the delegate I'll be using is up and running (thank you Riverhead, Xeroc and everyone else who offered help). It's on a great server located in Singapore (blockchain friendly country), has price feeds set up and security has been optimized. So I'm pretty much all set!

I don't know about anyone else but when I hear or read the term, "marketing push" I think about pushing something to people that they don't want or need. I think that using the term "marketing push" has a negative connotation. Maybe its just me and I'm not a marketing guy so I really don't even know.  :P

The "push" is an effort to seed the world with attractive, search engine optimized "bait" that invites people into a correctly selected "funnel" which is nothing but a series of small learning exercises, each with an easy to do call to action, that leads to the next exercise and next action until they become a fully-aware, passionate member of our community, all signed up with BitUSD in their wallets, and a new mission in life:  to virally spread their new-found passion to others.

Once our funnels are fully ready, the "push" is our effort to produce that attractive content (videos, news releases, shameless publicity stunts) that leads to the appropriate first learning experiences.

Thank you! Image helps with visualization too.

I think one of those "shameless publicity stunts" can be something like having a giant Bitshares logo, inflatable balloon appear at times square or something. Alternatively, I can just run across the Football field during this upcoming superbowel with a BTS logo flag.

I'd agree with you if "push" were being used as a verb (as in "let's push this on them"). But "push" as a noun speaks much more to a campaign, and to the incredibly hard work that goes into it ("the upcoming marketing push"). I think it's very appropriate here.

I don't want to get tackled by the linemen though if I were to do it.

Drones towing banners over nationally televised sporting events? Fairly cheap, remote, will show up on major networks...

FAA's New Drone Ban Around Stadiums Has No Legal Footing to Stand On (article below). Better hurry up if this is the plan, though; much more drone regulation is in the works.

Opie and Anthony did an assault on the media years back where they had people show up at live shots in NYC and hold signs and get camera time yelling "OPIE ANTHONY!". It worked and got them a good amount of attention. An unfortunate aspect of our culture is that is generally requires something extreme most of the time to go "viral". There-in lies the problem, how do you make a PROFESSIONAL extreme viral video that highlights the concepts of BTS? Or just forget the professional and go for anything that gets attention?

Lol that guy has many viral videos. First saw him in 2012 around the presidential election. He made an Obama dance video.

You know there are many youtube people that get more views in one day with one video than what major news channels get during prime time. Phillip De Franco gets like 500 thousand to 1 million views for every video he uploads.

I remember reading an article that described what it is that makes videos viral. I think there was also a TED talk about it. I don't remember everything but it said that if it is something novel it has a good chance of becoming viral. That guy's videos all seem pretty novel to me.

Selling your last name is something that this guy did.

He sold his last name for one year for $50,000. Imagine selling your last name in exchange for BitUSD.
I thought about doing it but don't know if I would really want to.
Notice his last name right now is SurfrApp.
