They say, KNOW YOUR ENEMY, so I was over on the National Republican Campaign site today snooping around as I always do.  Not surprisingly, they are about to LAUNCH a major campaign here in the bloggosphere called MyGOP...the purpose of this project is to get Republicans to put up blogs where they BRAG about their own efforts in funding raising, signing up voters, and working towards getting out the vote.  I bring this up, as WE CAN BLOG John Hall to victory in this election with not a whole lot of work.

A)  It takes all of about ten minutes to set up a blog about any subject in the world, in this case John Hall's getting elected to Congress.  There are numerous FREE sites on which to place your blog, including right here at www.bravenet.com so you should have no problems putting a blog up.

B)  The first thing they teach you about having a successful blog is writing about something you are very passionate about.  Well, if the concert this past weekend is any example, I saw at least 2,000 people who seemed VERY EXCITED about John Hall, and the after party gave me a glimpse of at least several hundred who are DEDICATED.  So, you write about John Hall, share your beliefs in him, share pictures you have from his events, or even post up press releases from his campaign headquarters.  In short, in just a few minutes each day you can put something up to keep your readers coming back DAY AFTER DAY between now and election day.

Now, advertise your blog...again, and EASY task to do.

1)  Email a link to your blog to all your family, friends and neighbors.

2) Put it out on a couple of Search Engines...again, something you can do FOR FREE.

THAT's IT...at first, you'll maybe see one or two visitors each day, and the more you tend to your blog, the higher the traffic flow gets...kind of like caring for a house plant in the kitchen window. We all need to do what we can, and BLOGGING is something ALL OF US can do for John Hall.  Now, one last little trick to help ALL OF US TOGETHER link up and drive our message out to the world here in the 19th district. 

LINK UP TO EACH OTHER.  A link is the URL to another site. It can be put on the side bar as a permanent link, or placed in one of your posts.  Let's say you start a blog, and you write that this article encouraged you to start your OWN BLOG.  You could then cut and paste this full article into your own blog, or just put my URL into your story.  You have just created a link, and links are a VERY GOOD THING, they help to establish ones GOOGLE ranking. 

Now, let me illustrate just how effective all this could be between now and election day.  Imagine if 200 of the folks from the concert this past Sunday evening all started blogs.  Yesterday, I had 358 visitors to my blog.  With two hundred of us, John Hall's message in some form and fashion would have reached and incredible 71,600 people!  THINK ABOUT THAT. over 70,000 chances to get out the word on John Hall, IN JUST ONE DAY.  Multiply that out times 80 days, and we are talking a whole lot of contact with our BLOG READERS.  Come on, LETS GET BLOGGING.

ONE LAST HINT...I already have an ACT BLUE account set up for John Hall, and if you visit the official John Hall site, he has one of his own.  Put a link to it in your headers, and use it frequently in your posts to encourage people to MAKE A DONATION.  I'd love it if you use my ACT BLUE link, but it's your blog, you can use mine, John Hall's, or go to ACT BLUE and start your own donations page, but make sure you give your readers a means by which to contribute to the cause.

*note-Any one supporting John Hall's campaign is free to post this message into their blogs, but all others, ESPECIALLY Republicans are forbidden to use my copyrighted materials.

The Republicans are planning on using the blogging world in this election cycle, and we have to be better at the game...read about their plans below:
