I’m not one to believe in astrology, tarot cards, or other New Age mumbo-jumbo, but if I did, right now I’d say something like, “Wow…the stars have aligned for blogivists.com”
What do I mean? Folks, we’re getting press. Exposure. Publicity.
Quite a bit came from the promotion work the Blogivists Team did at last weekend’s RightOnline. (While I’m on the subject, check out Eric Odom’s write-up of the event). The team must have really come out swinging because blogivists.com got mentions here, here, here and here. And that last one? The New York Times political blog. Zing!
Yes, and not only did we get some good press, we got some new Blogivists on board too. Arguably the most enthusiastic? The Militiaman, who wrote 7 posts in just 3 days.
Of course, it’s not just a one-way street. You guys are procuring publicity too.
The Illinois chapter of Americans For Prosperity sent out some snail mail, an e-newsletter, and - if that weren’t enough - a press release regarding The Pork Report and its “Pork Project A Day”.
And, unequivocally the most exciting news yet, the following post by E!! True Conservative got picked up by Politico! Check it out (third paragraph for the mention) and give E!! some made props:
As newspapers everywhere bemoan the loss of advertising revenue, campaigns know where recent college graduates looking for jobs head first. Click on nonprofit job listings on Craigslist in virtually any swing state and you’ll be assaulted with appeals for paid canvassers.
The only catch: If you care for a job in Republican politics, you may have to look elsewhere.
As first noticed by the Nevada-based E!! blog, Democratic campaigns are going out of their way to find new staffers. Recent Craigslist postings in the Silver State, from the Democratic National Committee and MoveOn.org under the headline “Field Organizers and Campaign Staff Needed to Beat McCain!”, sit alongside advertisements in the Las Vegas Review-Journal seeking canvassers for the Nevada State Democratic Party…
Well alright! Now whoever said that blogging was a pointless activity?
Counterpoint. Checkmate. QED!
