Polling News: Democratic Polling Money-Maker

I found this do-it-yourself article on one of my favorite websites. I think there may be people out there doing this very thing:

Need Cash? Run an Onlne Poll and Collect Contact Info

by Cash Innow

All across the Internet, a new way to get rich is through offering Democratic Primary Polls. Here's how it works. You can join in and enrich yourself while helping Democrats show their preferences. Just follow these steps:

Form a Non-Profit Organization - Give it a powerful name that evokes Democratic Party loyalty. Be sure to check to make sure someone hasn't beaten you to it.

Fire up a Website With a Poll Where People Can Vote - You don't need tons of content. Just the poll will do. People are so desperate to vote in primary polls that you don't need anything else.

Before Allowing People to Vote, Collect Their Info - Make your site look like you can just vote, but when visitors click the button, pop-up a form that takes their information. Just an Email address and name will do just fine.

Encourage Voters to Share Your Site - People who vote in online polls love to share polls on social media. If you do this right, you can multiply the number of voters tenfold. Use standard sharing buttons to give visitors an easy way to get their friends involved.

Run a Email Fundraising Letter Campaign - You have the names and email addresses. Run an email campaign that encourages donations to help their favorite candidate. Don't ask for big donations. Just make it a $5, $10 or $20 request. Send them to Paypal and start counting!

Don't delay! The primary elections and caucuses start in February. This is a short-term money-maker, but if you do it right, you could be driving that new Beemer sooner than you think. I'm providing this tip, because it's a sure-fire winner, and there's no limit to the number of online polls some fans of candidates will vote in.
