• Day 20 - The Campaign Continues

  

  We're about halfway through this fundraising campaign and have already raised almost 47% of the funding.

  We've done great in the first half of this campaign - the rest of this week is gearing up for the remainder of this campaign, so there's still more work to do...

   

  To recap what we are expecting soon:  (from @thexangateam update - http://thexangateam.xanga.com/773948785/update-on-our-relaunch-xanga-fundraiser/ )

  • pics and vids of what they've developed so far with Xanga 2.0
  • Not only to inform us of what they are doing, but what we can include in blogs to share through our social media outlets
  • relaunch Xanga buttons for us to put on our blogs and elsewhere 
  • for profile pics, sharing, etc...
  • e-mail campaign to premium members
  • Premium members have confirmed e-mail addresses that will have less of a chance to bounce back and cause the sender to be flagged as spam.
  • more press outreach

   

  There are a lot of questions still.  Many in regards to archiving data, or how to donate.

  Several have asked about alternatives to donate, like mailing in a pledge - which Xanga doesn't accept at this time.

  Alternative?   Purchase a Visa gift card (which is like a credit card) from Wal-Mart or your local grocery store - and utilize that card when pledging to the fundraiser.

   

  The $1 minimum donation was adjusted based on feedback from the community.   You can pledge ANY amount from $1 on up.

  (the only caveat is the reward levels.  Example:  if you pledged $47, you couldn't claim the reward for $48)

   

  --------Xangan Media Push-------------------

   

  Bottom Line today?   Get ready to write some blog posts to share these upcoming videos and pics they will be passing along to us.

  Don't just share them here on Xanga, share also on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, and every social media outlet you have!

   

  If you don't have other social media outlets - feel free to leave a comment or connect with @myxldove and I with the link to your blog post - We'll see what we can do to share it on Xanga's Facebook page.
