Title: Huge PR Campaign For Bitcoin
Post by: psybits on April 08, 2013, 01:44:18 PM
With the increasing popularity of Bitcoin many, many news articles are being written which contain blatant misinformation and factual errors about Bitcoin. Help us launch a PR campaign to give people the facts.  8)

https://bitcoinstarter.com/projects/31


We will write a Press Release about Bitcoin which will include the following (the funds are required due to the massive distribution we will be using to spread the Press Release far and wide):

-  The true demographics of Bitcoin presented, with evidence: how the majority of users do not use Silk Road, or even take drugs!
-  How Bitcoin really works as a distributed, decentralized currency which rewards those who maintain the integrity of the Bitcoin network.
-  A little background on Satoshi Nakamoto and the history of Bitcoin
-  Bitcoin's possible future
-  You can also make suggestions on what we should include in the Press Release (see the rewards)
-  We can include links to your Bitcoin website or service in the Press Release (see the rewards)

The Press Release distribution will include:

- A professional Press Release written up
- Google News and Yahoo News coverage, and another special Press Release written just for this purpose.
- Press Release submitted to 3000 + relevant media outlets (newspapers, magazines, bloggers)
- Press Release distribution through, and publication on, at least 30 Press Release networks
- Press Release submitted to all media outlets in the industry who cover Bitcoin related developments, such as Wired, CNet and including Forbes
- Press Release syndicated through 1000+ online RSS feed monitoring and publishing services
- The Press Release tweeted to over 40 000 + highly targeted Bitcoin twitter followers
- The Press Release published on BitcoinPRBuzz.com where it shall remain for a lifetime receiving highly targeted Bitcoin traffic
- You have the chance to have your service featured in the Press Release and to make suggestions of the content we should include.
- Together, let's make this happen. Press Release will be written and distributed within a week of the 21st April 2013 - the end date for this funding campaign.

Hey guys - thanks for the support  ;D

Even if we don't hit the fundraising target we will be releasing a very detailed article anyway (we love writing about Bitcoin), but the funding will help us promote it as much as possible so if you are reading this and like the idea please help us help you and Bitcoin out!

Great idea! I am currently working on something related, an infographic that I plan to publish online under a CC-license - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=182174.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=182174.0)

Maybe we could find a way to collaborate?
