Building on what i posted on the crowding funding announcement thread i think we should set up a call out for wider exposure and more donations

I was thinking we are attempting to fundraise from our community and thats great but many people do loads of crowdfunding for much larger amounts for everything from medical bills to large projects. People can get millions of dollars for high profile crowdfundings!

So what can we do to raise our profile and get donations from others who donate elsewhere?
If we could get a few hundred or thousand new donors even at $20-50 each from outside our normal circles plus what we raise perhaps we could even get David funded full time!

So how can we vastly expand our numbers of donors?
Advertising, getting news organizations to cover this, viral memes, videos with likes, celebrity endorsements, other ideas?
Click to expand...

So anyone with ideas, can you offer some brain power (even a little is very helpful, please post in this thread or PM me), can you help put together a list of ME associations who have accounts on S4ME who we can ask to feature this crowdfunding prominently, anyone know a celebrity who would be willing to put a shout out for David, anyone have connections at a news organization that might be willing to write a piece about ME and David's work, can we get free or cheap advertising, make up some professional YouTube videos?
Other ideas (please post them)


Can a Mod copy some posts to here from that thread, Post 72, 73, 80, 83, 85

Do you have the ability to publicly mention the crowdfunding campaign? Perhaps on social media, newsletters or press releases in April?

Do you have any connections that could help spread the word beyond the ME/CFS community where it would get high traffic?

Should we look at creating a page or press release or short (or in depth) explanation about ME/CFS and why we are asking for donations to David Tuller's crowdfunding for those outside our community?

Do you have any ideas or resources that could help us out or names of people to contact or ability to create media?


Any other thoughts or ideas?

Did i forget to @ anyone?
