One of the biggest problems Libertarians face is getting the Libertarian message before the people..
This idea does work and if we can get enough Libertarians to set up such systems as I have described below we could literally flood the internet with Libertarian messages in order to help our candidates in the next elections.
Here is a free advertising tip that really does work far better than newspaper ads if you have a website or a blog. All you need to do is click on this link and install a free screen saver and let it run even while you sleep and it will bring tons of targeted hits to your website or blog. It works so well for me that I took 3 old computers that I had gathering dust and set up with this free screen saver method and let them run.
If you don't happen to have any old computers around you can usually get old ones for a very few bucks and they work just fine even on DSL or cable. Don't try this with a 56k or slower modem. It won't work real well although it can be done. You just need a 4 port router and 3 old computers or even get a hub and you can run even more computers. Believe me, it is well worth it to do just that and it isn't even hard to do. Sign up for this free program and your hit counters will really start to spin in a very short time. You can even network a second computer behind your first computer and do it that way, one computer working through the first computer. That way you don't need a router or even a DSL or Cable connection. Just a plain old 56K modem will work just fine using two computers in a peer to peer connection for the networking.
I had just over 2000 hits during the first week of operation from just one computer. I haven't put hit counters on the other 2 yet but I will and there is no reason all of them aren't doing equally well.
Just stop to think about what that kind of advertising power can do. If we could come up with even a hundred people willing to put up 1 old computer each and leave them run full time we would easily have over 35 million Libertarian messages delivered to the voting public by the time the 2004 elections rolled around. I seriously doubt that the Dems or the Republicans will come anywhere near that number of hits to their websites.
Since both parties are claiming that webpages and blogs are going to win the next election for them, shouldn't we try to beat them? And since your webpages or blogs can be put up on free website hosts the cost will be almost zero.
Your Libertarian webpage should have sound on it as well. You should plan on reading the material you are presenting and embedding the .MP3 audio at the very bottom of the page so it don't slow down the loading of the page itself. The audio portion of the webpage should be 9 minutes long since that is usually what people have set to rotate their screen savers. But since there will also be many who rotate every minute you need to pack all you can into that first minute.
You can also ask for donations to the party on your webpage and set up with PayPal to handle the incoming donations. That will hopefully help the party a lot too. With paypal the donor does not need to have paypal account at all but can fund their donations using either a debit or a credit card. So not only can we get the word out but we just might get a goodly amount of donations to the party coffers as well. It is an easy and inexpensive way to help the Libertarian Party and it's candidates win the 2004 elections.
One other thing to watch out for is that the screenblaze program I am telling you to use has quite a few different categories you can set your program to run under you need to rotate categories every couple of days or so and watch out that you are not advertising in a business type category during weekends and holidays when nobody is in their offices.
You want to be doing family or sports orientated cagegories on the weekends. But in any case, rotate the categories every couple of days or your hits will start to decline. In any case you will want to be certain that your page or blog or whatever is seen and heard by the greatest number of people possible so rotating the categories ensures that you will reach the broadest spectrum of audiences possible. If you have a hit counter installed on the page you can easily tell when the hits start to decline just a bit and that is the time to change categories but you should change the categories every two or three days in any case.
And since the program to do the audio is pretty expensive ($500.00) I'll offer my services to help you out. You can do your audio on a tape recorder and mail me the tape and I will put it on your website for you.
And if you start doing this and your friends or acquaintances want to do it as well then please send them here to sign up. After all, its my idea so I will want to get some credit for it. (LOL)
