Day 8

I had 0 donations. No new likes. Nothing exciting regarding my campaign. 

However! I did have a phone interview! Which means job possibilities! YAAAAAY

I could put away money for my car, I could afford to get the stuff I need to kick start my online ventures! Ugh so many possibilities. I have another interview Monday, so fingers and toes crossed. 

Finding other ways to make money!

So Since my Facebook ads have been uh.. costly. Along with the fact my campaign isnt going so smoothly I have ventured elsewhere for the time being to make some extra cash.
Ebay! I have sold items before but never really knew what I was doing.

After much learning I finally felt comfortable listing some items and I am happy to say I made $15 today. I have many more items to list that I estimate will make me around $150.00 Which isnt much really but it's more than I had before.

Researching what else I could sell online as well to make money. So hopefully in time I can get a pretty nice profit.

Nothing exciting or worth talking about happened with my campaign today so I will just end this here.

Tesla Acknowledges Me/Donation!

Except not really. They replied to a comment I made on a post. Which was exciting! Hoping they decided to check my page out, but probably not. They have better things to do like saving the world from gas and cool stuff like that.

A contribution was made today!! WOOO By Nicholas Steenberg an awesome kid looking to intern for Tesla Motors! I also began the application process for a Tesla Motors, but as a  product specialist. There is one about 40 minutes away from me. Is it far? sorta. Would it be worth it? Totally.
I would walk into work every day with big smile like this:

Because who wouldnt be excited to go in every day?

Going down there tomorrow to talk to some people, see what the drive is like and if the position is still open. #excited. Hoping the day goes as planned and I am able to actually go down there. Lord knows I'll spend a few hours sitting in a Tesla if they have some on site for display. I don't see why they wouldnt, but you never know. Hope for the best, expect the worst right?

Anyways here is what was posted for Nicholas 

For whatever reason I can not see it on my page. He can, so that is all that matters. What a cool guy.

Day 5

74,000 people have seen my Facebook Page. 75 People "Like" it. and 175 are talking about it.
215 visits to my IndieGoGo page. 114 Referrals. 1 donation.

If each person who viewed my page donated 50 cents, I would be half way there. That's crazy to think.

It's exciting to see how many people have seen my page. Depressing how only 1 in a thousand "Like" my page. Better than 1 in a million though.

So I saw a Red Tesla Model S today. It was on Hillsborough Ave. I saw while pumping gas. I began sobbing on the inside, knowing the driver is thinking "Look at those people paying for gas. Polluting our air."

Ugh if I had a million dollars... Stick half away to make money off the interest. Use some to buy my Dream car. Eventually get a house on a large piece of bare land after making smart investments. Plant it up with trees and native foliage. Donate money to wildlife and park organizations. Ugh If only. If only.

UPDATE: Another Donation Made!! :D So as of 10:45 pm I now am 0.02% there! Thankyou Kimberly!

DONATION MADE!

Today, Someone by the name of Toby Hinloopen Donated! $5. Which is 0.01%
It could have been a Dollar and I still would have jumped and gasped and gone running through the house screaming "A DONATION WAS MADE A DONATION WAS MADE! SOMEONE CARES!" 

This brings a bit of hope back to me. Will I get enough? no, but! Someone cares and it literally made my day a million times bettter. He said that I hope I enjoy my cigarette lighter... Not sure what that means, I don't smoke. 

So thankyou Toby, you are a wonderful human. 

This is what I put on Facebook as a Public thankyou

I wish I had picked a different color, Why I didnt pick black I have no idea. Maybe my mind wasn't there completely because of excitement. Who knows. 

:D

Campaign Day 3

Today gave me the smallest bit of hope. 66 Facebook page likes. My page reached out to 42,000 people. 113 are talking about it. People have begun sharing and liking. Whether it be to laugh or support I don't know.

I am quickly running out of money to fund these ads I have been running on Facebook, but if people continue to share like they are I may not need to run the ads any longer.

My IndieGoGo page has 76 Referrals, none contributing. I have people from all over the world who have viewed it. Again, no funding. Which is understandable. Just depressing.
I am quickly learning the do's and dont's when trying to grab peoples attention. What works for me so far is what grabs my attention... KITTIES. disgustingly cute kitties. All that I have turned into Tesla Lovers :)

For example:

That has been the biggest hit so far, I am a tad obsessed with it as well. I have 56 or 57 days left. Will I make it? Probably not. No. Is it super fun and amusing trying? Absolutely. So it is totally worth it to me.

Alrighty I am off to build my car again, find ways to make money, then hold a pillow and cry. 

Day 2

It is day 2 of my campaign to get my hands on my dream car.
As of this write up, there are 19 people liking my Facebook page, 38 IndieGoGo views, 3,000 facebook page views.
Yet sadly, $0 contributions. Which is understandable. Just a tad bit depressing. I have been paying for ads to be displayed on Facebook in the hopes of reaching a broader audience. It seems to be working, rather slowly but steady.

I have started looking at other ways in which to make money. From affiliate programs to adsense. Neither of which have done anything. The fact my blog is not at all popular contributes to that.
I shall keep researching ways to get extra cash.

Have a good day all!
