    While watching the movie, I just went through and did all the clicks and links, sharing to fb and retweeting and all that.  It took about 5 minutes 2 minutes, now that we're optimized, to do everything.  If everyone that watches the movie this week does the same, it will make a huge difference in our visibility!

    Michelle, what's your twitter handle, if you don't mind sharing?  I'm making sure their data is showing me everything!  You can send to me in a PM if you don't want to post it publicly here.

    The trailer is now at 15 comments and 75 likes.  Exactly 3/4 of the way for an acorn on each front!

    If I can get three new patreon backers, we would hit five acorns and then 3000 people would get PIE!

    According to my youtube "dashboard" I now have 95,500 subscribers - although my official channel still says 95.4k.

    So that's another acorn, right?

    Molly, if you go to the youtube video and click "share" under the video, you should be able to scroll to the pinterest icon and share directly from there!  Let me know if it works!

    For those following along, at home . . .

    we are still a comment or two shy of an acorn for youtube comments, and

    just a few likes away from another instagram likes acorn.  

    And the pro-tip of this game - every new patreon patron unlocks a new acorn.

    I'm getting the sense that, before the evening's over (in my hemisphere, at least) everyone who owns the movie gets a nice slice of pie for their digital bedtime snack.

    ***edit***
    Just tipped over into the 20's for youtube comments!  4th acorn coming in hot!

    I was just about to hit the hay, but a little nagging voice kept saying "but we're so close to pie."

    Low and behold, i take a quick look, and we just hit 21 likes on ig - bringing us in at 5 acorns for day one.

    So for everyone who owns the movie,

    YOU get a slice        
                 and YOU get a slice
                         and YOU get a slice



    And for the visually inclined . . .

      =  


    what is pie?

    I liked, commented, and subscribed on YouTube.
    Then I liked and shared on Facebook (to both my personal page and my book page) but neither of those shares registered in the share count. Says something about settings, but both of those are permies, so .... ??? (I confess I'm never on facebook, so maybe I did it wrong. I never could keep up with that site.)
    Staff note (Beau M. Davidson) :

    fb is notoriously cloak-and-daggar, but I'm doing my best to suss out the true numbers.  At the end of things, I'll cross-refernce fb's official tally with those who have commented here on this thread, so you're not left out!

    Watching on YouTube, shared (twice) on Facebook, and commented on YouTube.  Having seen the berm shed in person, I have to say, the massiveness is lost on video  =)

    Thought I'd give a quick overview of where things are.  Bit of a State of the Acorn Address, if you will.  All the acorns circled in blue are just a scosch away from getting unlocked.  It's gonna be a big day!  Thanks for sharing, keep it up!!!

    Wait ...  I usually get an email  ...  checking .... hmmmm ....    FOUND IT!   It went to spam.  

    It is for true!  My videos patreon now has 37 patrons!



    Been meaning to start contributing on Patreon, glad it helps some bonus now. I really enjoy the podcasts, especially when driving by the Labs and seeing the red cabin and reminiscing on my two weeks there. Looking forward to the next KickStarter too!

    instagram likes just picked up a new acorn!  

    Just a little more facebook love, a few more youtube likes, or another patreon or two,
    and we'll be able to dish out Helen Atthowe's wonderful Presentation on living mulch and cover crops!

    Yes, indeed!!!  Dingdingdingdingding!  Or maybe . . . what do acorns sound like when they're knocked together?  Maybe less celebratory?  Oh well.

    9 ACORNS!



    And i just realized that means we've unlocked an acorn in every category.  I gotta say.  That's pretty amazing.

    Liked the you tube, shared on my fb page and shared to regenerative agriculture group on fb.  I'll see what else I can do.

    Paul, are you seeing increases on your social media that can be contributed to this blitz?

    Cindy,

    Regular social media stuff is such a mystery to me.  I dunno.

    This blitz is an experiment.  I guess the idea is that we do all this work and then we will sell and extra hundred copies of the movie?  So far I think we have sold two extra copies.
