The Idiot's Guide to Promotion
Step 1: The "One-Link" Rule
Never send a messy list of links. Use this page as your single "Magic Link."
Do this: "Check out everything we are doing here: [YourLink]"
Don't: "Follow Twitter here, FB here..."
Step 2: The "Triple Tap" Daily Routine
Assign one person to do this every morning (5 mins):
1. X (Twitter): Search #Cambridge. Reply to complaints: "Cllr Dave Baigent is tackling this independently. Join us: @i4ypcambs #I4YPCAMBS"
2. Facebook: Share this link to Romsey/Mill Road groups. Caption: "Local politics is changing. See what the Independent group is doing."
3. WhatsApp: Send to 5 friends: "Dave has gone Independent with Corbyn's movement. Look: [YourLink]"
Step 3: Avoiding the "Charity Trap"
Problem: "I4YPC" is a Youth Charity in Salford.
Fix: NEVER use just #I4YPC. ALWAYS use #I4YPCAMBS or #YourPartyCambridge.
Step 4: The "Call to Action"
Post this on Friday:
"We are building the committee for the next election. We need 50 people to sign up for updates this week. Click here -> [YourLink] -> Select 'Official Website'."
Step 5: Visual Consistency
Ensure every profile has:

The Idiot's Guide to Local Elections
Step 1: Check Your Registration
Make sure you're registered to vote at gov.uk/register-to-vote
Deadline is usually 12 days before the election.
Step 2: Know Your Candidates
Research who's running in your ward. Independent candidates often bring fresh perspectives outside party politics.
Step 3: Understand the Issues
Local elections affect your daily life: housing, transport, green spaces, local services.
Step 4: Vote!
Polling stations are open 7am-10pm on election day. Bring your poll card (helpful but not required) and ID.
Step 5: Stay Engaged
Democracy doesn't end at the ballot box. Attend council meetings, contact your councillors, join local groups.
