• Online campaigns are no longer just having the coolest web site on
the block. In current environment design matters but content and
functionality is the king – content and functionality
• The Internet component of the campaign needs to be integrated
into the entire effort, not just a stand-alone piece. The focus should
be on engaging on-ground execution, mobile communication and
Internet – interactivity
• The web site can serves as the hub of the campaign, but a campaign
needs to leverage the strengths of the Internet and digital
technology to spread its message. – effective utilization of Mobile
and Internet platform
You cannot miss online and mobile presence .

Develop a Strong Online Campaign
15. The Community Aspect
• blogs provide a sense of community that used to be the
lifeblood of traditional news organizations – especially
newspapers
• The Internet has become an ideal medium for fostering a new
type of community in which people have never met, and may
not even know each other's real names, but who share certain
views and opinions about the way the world works
Attitudes and Beliefs
• many people want the news delivered to them in the context of their
attitudes and beliefs - that doesn't mean they only want reinforcing
views (although some do)
• they see their news consumption as something that takes place
within their community, to be fit into a pre-existing framework of
ideas that may be challenged but that must be acknowledged
Should they be Trusted?
• All news needs to be evaluated within the context in which it
was produced
• it is considered bad form to not disclose who you are writing for
or working with - especially if someone is getting paid
Political Blogs – Benefits
16. Components of a campaign website :
• About the campaign
• About the issue(s)
• Why you should care
• Join an e-network
• Take Action (petition, action centre, etc)
• Viral marketing (tell-a-friend about the
campaign, post to social networking)
• Fundraising
• Resources for Media
• Media Stories on the campaign
• Campaign Blog
• Connect supporters together (comments on
blog, forum, etc)
Campaign Website for Political Mileage
17. Email
• Effective campaigning email is not just rehashing press
releases - more personal “email to a friend”
• Email should be urgent and rapid – follow closely behind
a news story on the issue
• Must be relevant to audience
• Should follow public mood on the issue – there will be a
point when the supporters will think “enough is enough”
• Effective imagery and campaign slogans can get to the
heart of complex and confusing issues
• Report back on success
Email Campaign for Political Mileage
Email is the simplest and most
readily available form of online
communication. A mailing list is
an automatic message-sending
programme that stores a list of
email addresses for all the
people who need to be linked
into the campaign. In order for
the list to work effectively, the
people on it must all have a
common purpose and be
committed to using email
regularly, and it must have a
facilitator who is responsible for
updating everyone.
18. Mobile Campaign for Political Mileage
Mobile phones plays a key role in stimulating and organizing
the protests – using voice communications, and short text
messages (SMSs) sent from one phone to another, or from
one phone to many others.
Mobile phone, first can be used to send political jokes; later
they spread the word on where demonstrations were being
held.
