Asking for donations to advertise for new players
witherd1
Heyas.
I am asking for donations to advertise on facebook, to attract new players to eAustralia. Facebook, in my opinion, is the best option, as you can select your demographic. You can stipulate you want it to be advertised to Aussies, or people that are Aussies and like politics and games, just as a few examples.
While this method may prove as unfruitful as the rest of the attempts at a babyboom for eAus, I really feel this is our best shot. Others tend to agree, and I have already received some donations, and quite significant ones.
So this may get expensive if we want to do it right. This would cost us around $50 a fortnight to be effective. Basically, facebook ads work on a 'bids' system, which means, you set the audience you are aiming for, and if another advertiser has the same audience and bid more, their ad shows before yours. So if we bid middle of the road, at a per click rate, which means you pay for each person that clicks on your ad, then it would cost us around $50 a fortnight.
If I can raise a couple of hundred dollars, and keep the ad running for a couple of months, hopefully 3, then we may hopefully, with the right eye candy, suck in enough facebook clickers to keep us a handful of new citizens.
If you wish to donate, please Paypal it to witherd1@gmail.com, and drop me a line so I know its gone into the account, either by email to that email address, or in game msg.
Cheers, and lets hope to get eAus booming

It's our only hope, 1k citizens just aint gonna cut it 😛😛
~Roboa~ Approves.
Feels less dirty than spending money on gold.
: P
I will ad, that I will aim to have a live ad up by the 19th of December, so we can take advantage of those bored over Chrissy break. I will also share a sugestion for ad in a few days, once I have a bit of time to get an ad together, and see what everyone thinks. If anyone wants to email me a suggestion for an ad, even better 😉
As I said on IRC, as soon as I've got it there I'll send it your way 🙂
you are my new hero - sending donation
nice too see some players cluing in. The FB add's will probably do more then you think. they're how i first found out about this game back in 08. and a great way too recruit. I would recommend also throwing some links down on fb games as well. like there are millions of ppl that game fb games. why not try and tap into an already browser based market?
p.s. if i get some extra cash this month ill donate up.
Getting people to stay is another problem!
I would have if I did have USD. 😛
This has been tried many times, even with eUSA and it will not work. Facebook does no advertise "games" that dont belong to you per say. And your ad's will not see the light of day. Your best approach is finding real life Australian forums....like gumtree lets say .
just ask scottty to forgo spending 2k aud on gold for 1 nite and pay for a full year of advertising using his referral link atleast then he will get something in return 😃
Can we say at the least that someone's actually doing something to try to help this backwater of a country?
