Product launches are exciting. It's always fun to see how much money can be made in a single day.
A product launch of historical proportions happened yesterday. But this one was different.
No product was for sale. No pre-Product Launch email sequence was used. And the launch had nothing to do with another expensive Internet marketing home study course.
Then how in the world was $6.026 million made in one day?
Simple. People were buying ideas. More specifically, the twin ideas of freedom and personal liberty.
That's what motivated over 58,000 people to donate to Ron Paul in a single 24-hour period.
Over $6 million was donated in one day (Dec. 16, 2007), shattering the old record of $5.7 million set by John Kerry in 2004.
So far, in the 4th quarter of 2007 alone, over $18 million has been donated to Ron Paul by over 118,000 Americans. That's a lot of support for a product launch without a product.
Now, if only Ron Paul would release a new free report titled, "The Death of Politics." ;-)
Woo-hoo! Go Ron Paul! :)

Believe it or not, I'm from Texas and JUST today got turned on to Ron Paul via another source.
I'm not "in his corner" yet -- I wann check him out. But, I like what I'm seeing.
If nothing else, this'll be VERY interesting to watch from a marketer's viewpoing.

I love it! Just like some of my favorite copywriting gurus to share my passion for Ron Paul!
You're really onto something!
I LOVE this guy! I have since I first really heard about him a little over six months ago.
I'm glad to see other writers so excited.
I'd like to send you over an idea I have on alliance, one that came to mind after Debbie Hopper contacted me to work (professionally!) on the Ron Paul 2008 campaign.
Could you please email me so that I could provide the details?
Thanks,
Jennifer Gibbs

@John - Amen!
@JP - I learned of Ron Paul about five years ago reading The Daily Reckoning. Bill Bonner would sometimes feature his articles or quote him. So when I heard he was running for President, I was already on board.
As far as I can tell, he's the best chance we have for turning this country around.
@Jennifer - I just sent you an email.

The more I hear Ron Paul speak, the more I'm convinced that he would -- hopefully WILL -- be one of the world's greatest leaders in modern history.
Please, take less than a half hour to watch his latest videos, a 2-part series added to YouTube on Dec 16.

As an aside, some people falsely believe that Ron Paul is naive to the reality and threat of terrorism, nor has any ideas of how to deal with terrorism. Thankfully, this is absolutely NOT true.
Watch the videos. This is discussed in there as well.

Hello, My American "Big Brothers (and Sisters)"
I'm a Canadian who really cares about what's really (I mean, REALLY) going on in the US. Lately, I've been exposed to Ron Paul and his ideas, and I like what I hear from him. I normally am more aligned with the Deomocratic candidates, but from my research, I like Ron Paul better.
Check out Mark Joyner's blog, too. He recenty created a post about how the media doesn't even pay Ron the attention he deserves.
