Here is what I came up with:
Let us analyze the current situation on this forum. We have over 1000 members and most of the time it seems like there are 200 guests viewing the forum. Conservatively I would say we have about 100 very active members. These are very valuable people. Imagine in a 3 day period if every one of these 100 super members uploaded a video, emailed a newspaper, or posted about JTF on a forum? We would quickly have a lot more super members and the likelihood of some media attention would increase dramatically. We need to set some goals for JTF in terms of new members and media exposure. We need to create a plan that will allow us to achieve those goals. Super members need to understand that while the forum can be a lot of fun that in the long run there is a greater goal. The more you “have fun” on the forum the less time you are devoting to the greater goal. Here are my ideas:
Goals for 2008
1. By 12-31-2008 have 10,000 registered forum members
2. Have JTF appear as a major part of at least four news stories in major print media publications in North America (these can be local publications, but they have to be major)
3. JTF needs to be mentioned (does not need to be the main focus of the article) in one major national publication in North America
4. A JTF spokesperson needs to be interviewed (A scheduled interview not a call in to a talk show like anyone can) on 4 major North American radio (or TV) stations by 12/31/2008.
5. 2008 total combined contributions to JTF and VJA must be triple that of 2007. 2009 total combined contributions should be ten times that of 2008!
All of these goals require increased exposure of JTF and the JTF forum. As of today the JTF forum is the more dynamic and exciting aspect of the JTF brand. It also is interactive and thus attracts more interactive (as opposed to passive) participants. I hope JTF.org is spruced up some but that is not the most urgent of issues. We need to increase the exposure of the forum and the best way to do that is over the Internet. Videos are the main way to accomplish this but there are other major ways also like posting in other forums and on Craigslist. Below is a step by step list explaining how to increase exposure and attain the above 5 goals:
1. Create a JTF video clearinghouse. Right now we have a terrible bottleneck in the video process. In order for any Chaim video to be posted, Chaim must do this himself! This is very inefficient. It is true that others can make videos but before we can be totally comfortable with that we must give every JTF member the option of either creating their own video or posting a Chaim video. Until every JTF video has been uploaded to the clearinghouse site I strongly recommend that Ask JTF be discontinued. Ask JTF is fun and entertaining but it takes up 2.5 hours of Chaim’s life that could go toward something more important. It also takes up 2.5 hours of many members lives who could spend those 2.5 hours spreading the word about JTF instead of passively listening. Eventually a fair compromise would be allowing ask JTF to be answered by Chaim on one of his videos. But the questions would have to pertain to one predetermined subject.
The clearinghouse itself does not have to be at JTF.org. I think somebody mentioned that there is a free site where people can upload videos to and where others can download them for free. We need to make this site known to all JTF members and the general public. We must encourage every member of JTF to set up a youtube account and to upload their favorite JTF videos on to it. I also think liveleak has some potential and I will get in to that later. Imagine if once a week we asked JTF members to pick one Chaim video to upload as an answer to another controversial and popular video on youtube. The JTF message would spread like wildfire to all corners of youtube. Posting videos as replies to other popular videos is something we have not done yet. I can not stress how important it is that the JTF video clearinghouse site be created (with every JTF video ever created on it) ASAP. Until this happens the rest of the plan can not happen and our goals will not be achieved.
2. So once the clearinghouse site is created and all the current JTF videos are on it, Chaim can go back to making new videos once a week. I strongly suggest that until Ron Paul drops out of the race that Chaim makes one video about Ron Paul every week. It will be our responsibility as members to save this video to our own accounts and upload it as a reply to other popular Ron Paul videos. We can also upload it as replies to popular Clinton and Rudy videos. I would not be opposed to having a page on jtf.org :
www.jtf.org/RPaul where there is a summary of his nazi-like ways along with links to JTF videos. We could go all around the web posting this simple URL everywhere we see a Ron Paul fan post. If we stick to a plan of giving major attention to Ron Paul non-stop until Super-Duper Tuesday we almost certainly will gain media exposure
JTF videos must also be posted as replies to popular Nazi/KKK videos on youtube and on liveleak. Sadly, there seem to be endless amounts of videos that fit in to this category. So many of these psychos believe Jews control the media. We will make them paranoid and make them think that those Jews might just be us. Instead of saying Jews control the media they will start to mention JTF specifically. It would be great if JTF became the biggest enemy of these Nazi’s. I strongly recommend that everyone emails the Jewwatch nazi in St. Louis and inform him that JTF.org got him kicked off youtube. Here is his email address:
[email protected]Iran is a very important issue that many are interested in. I would suggest the Chaim and others create some more Iran videos. Iran videos are special because liveleak actually has a special section devoted to Iran that seems to be quite popular:
http://iran.liveleak.com/Remember to always use good keywords when preparing/uploading a video. JTF probably is not a word a lot of people are searching on. Ron Paul is. Even if it does not have to do with Ron Paul, use Ron Paul. Jew, Jewish, Nazi, Clinton are all popular. Use words that you think people will search for. Spell Giuliani wrong! Yes use “Guliani” as a key word. Few will use that version of it as a keyword but many will look him up that way!
This site allows you to download videos from youtube (we should not need it once the clearinghouse site is set up):
http://keepvid.com/3. So every day we are going to have JTF’ers downloading videos from the Clearinghouse site and uploading them on to their accounts or as replies to Nazi’s, Ron Paul Fans, and others. We also need JTF’ers to go to popular LOCAL internet forums and post links to videos and to the JTF forum. Again the best way to start off at these forums is to attack the Ron Paul Kook. Do not post JTF.org right away. Get into an exchange. Post a controversial Ron Paul related title and then say, “Hey check out this video that exposes the truth about Ron Paul” When I say local forums I mean those that are brought to us by the local newspaper. It usually requires one to register but it is worth it. We need to create a full lists of these forums but here are three I randomly selected that you can start at:
http://www.baltimoresun2.com/talk/forumdisplay.php?f=14http://forums.modbee.com/viewforum.php?f=34http://forums.charlotte.com/kr-cltrant/start4. There is a craigslist site in every major metro area in the USA. Some are very popular. Google searches craigslist easily. I have posted things on craigslist before and within days you can do a google search on a certain word and that craigslist post is showing up on the first page of google!
Go to the rants and raves section and Politics section of every City's Craigslist
Example:
http://seattle.craigslist.org/rnr/http://seattle.craigslist.org/pol/ Post something controversial pertaining to JTF. Iran, Ron Paul, Serbia, or just reply to a topic that is already there. Leave the JTF.org URL and leave a videos URL.
5. We need to email media members in all the early Primary and Caucus states about Ron Paul. We need to create a list of email addresses and names of target reporters in all of these states that we need to email short professional emails to about Ron Paul. They do not get many (if any) anti-Paul emails because the major campaigns instruct their supporters not to make him seem legit and to just ignore him. Here are the early states, I can help find emails:
JANUARY 2008
• January 3: Iowa
New Hampshire
• January 5: Wyoming (R)
• January 15: Michigan
• January 19: Nevada, South Carolina (R)
• January 26: South Carolina (D)
• January 29: Florida
FEBRUARY 2008
• February 1: Maine (R)
• February 5: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia,
Idaho (D), Illinois, Kansas (D), Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico (D), New York, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah
I strongly suggest we target media in more conservative and less focused on states. This increases the likelihood of them doing a story on JTF. WY, SC, ME, come to mind off the top of my head after looking at the above list. Of course we can not forget about IA and NH but of course those reporters are going to be inundated with people emailing them. Do not even think about states that come after super duper Tuesday (2-5-08). Both races will be over by then and we will have to find a new approach to spread the word. This Ron Paul thing is something we need to take advantage of ASAP.
6. When emailing a media member, posting on a forum, posting a video, or doing anything else interactive on the web it is best to do it late on a Sunday night so on Monday morning your target will be viewing what you did. Monday morning is the most popular day for being on the web. Thursday night, Friday Night and Saturday night are the worst times to post anything. Please try to get used to doing most of your interactive work on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights (daylight hours are fine also)!
7. If you choose to create your own video remember to be calm, speak clearly and loudly, and look clean if you appear on camera. If you Know how to add music to your video you should do that. If you are young pick songs you know other young people will like. Westcoast JTF was great by the way.
8. You are going to stumble upon a lot of like minded people on youtube. Whenever you do be sure to invite them to join the JTF forum. Compliment their videos and say you would be happy to help distribute them and that you know of 1000 other people who will want to help that person spread the word.
9. Be familiar with how many forum members we have. In your posts or videos be sure to mention the number. We have 1000 strong forum members who are all over the web and the world. People will see us as the movement we are rather than some kook in St. Louis sitting in his living room.
MAKE SURE JTF LEADERSHIP SEES THIS POST
I can help with all aspects of this plan and I can elaborate on specifics.
