Drop Cards
Posted in Uncategorized on November 25th, 2008 by RonnieI want to give my audience a take away from the show. Something that they take home that drives them to my site. The Buttons are fun but I question how well the’re working. That’s where Drop Cards come in. A Drop Card is a card with a code. Enter the code on the site and get a digital download. There are companies that do this but they have drawbacks. first, the cards average .50 per card 10X the cost of 1″ buttons. AND they take the user AWAY from your site to redeem. That’s counter productive in my opinion. So I am starting to attempt to build this myself. I have built a code generation engine and generated 32,000 dumped that into a mySQL database on my site .. that Was the esay part. Next is the web interface. This is where I will likely peter out. let’ wait and see.
Yesterday before I went to the polls I made one last run over my local voting guide making sure that I had an opinion on each minor office candidate. Then I watched online video from both presidential candidates to make a final evaluation of my political leanings. What happened next was a suprise to me. I was inspired. The video that inspired me was a July 2nd call to service speach from Obama at the Airforce Academy. As I reflected on my thoughts about the race leading up to election day I realized it allot of it was based more on my negetive feelings towards the Bush administration. But this call to service was truely inspiring. And I have a Republican office rival to thank. Our local right wing pundent sent me a link of Obama being taken out of context. so I found the entire video and forwarded it back to him. This video is what inspired me. So now what? Today I have a strong need to give back. to contribute to the good of all americans. My newyears resolution is to Follow our new president’s lead and find a way that I can serve and I really feel this is one that I will keep.
