Hello everyone!
Golden Plume here. Most may not know who we are and what we do, but to those who do, they are aware that we are hard at work behind the scenes trying to help Tapastic grow. We serve the community purely on a volunteer basis because we believe in you all so very much.
Sometimes what we do works, and everyone is able to see the results. For example, the feature story we were able to secure for Tapastic back in September in Make Mine Indie. Other times what we do doesn't pan out at all. For example, securing a featured panel at a comic convention with exposure to 10,000s attendees and potential new readers. These things you don't hear about because they didn't work out.
Unfortunately, more often than not, things don't work out because all too often things are outside of our control. But that doesn't stop us from trying again and again.
Now (finally!) we have the chance to do something that is completely within our control. Interested? Read on.
Currently we are doing our darnedest to help spread the word about Tipping. So far the comic industry media is being really resistant to report on it. (Trust us this is really common with a lot of new things.) What we could really use is a bit of help from the community that won't take much effort at all.
Here it is:
If you are currently tipping daily, or are planning on tipping soon, please defer all of your tipping until Friday February 3, 2017.
That's it.
You don't need to change who you are going to tip or anything else, just please do it on Friday. If you are going to tip next week, please try to tip early, this Friday instead.
What we are aiming to accomplish is to hit 1,000,000 coins tipped on a single day. "On January 26th we came SUPER close to having 1,000,000 coins tipped in one day." (Direct Staff Quote)
We would like to hit 1M coins on Friday, if at all possible, because we're submitting an article for Tapastic that is due shortly thereafter and we would very much like to include the 1M-Day milestone.
We have 21,000 free coins banked for Friday ourselves and we hope that others would be willing to pledge to save up for Friday or tip early and help the community break a big number. The hope is that the more major milestones we can crush, and the sooner we crush them, the more likely the media will take notice and report on Tapas Tipping which will open everyone up to even more readers, subscribers, and tips.
Help Tapastic. Help yourself. Help your fellow creator. Please consider tipping this Friday and together we can break 1,000,000!
Let's go for the gold!
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully,
Team Golden Plume
