So really not much to report from the past weeks  - . . . → Read More: Noaspa News – October 2010]]> After a very quiet blogging September, full of way too much work in the real world and other things that kept my fingers away from the keyboard, it looks like there’ll be plenty of time available in October to push the noaspa social media campaign forward.

So really not much to report from the past weeks  - but, as you may have noticed,  noaspa has now moved to WordPress with a new campaign strategy that will soon be submitted to Famous Bloggers for publication.  And hopefully this new site and strategy will breathe a lot of new life into the campaign …..

Meanwhile just a quick round up of  the very small amount of noaspa activity during the last month….

Well, the progress made during September wasn’t exactly as planned – but the goal of generating A Million Votes for your Health remains the same.

I’m looking forward to an increased number of posts here in the future,  much more effective networking with bloggers in the health niche  - and at least a little more progress in Noaspa News next month !

Six weeks ago the search term “Noaspa” produced less than 100 results. This morning it produced 5,750. It’s a reasonable start but the number needs to get a lot bigger if this new aspartame awareness campaign is going to become a successful one !

Obviously, as with any such campaign ( or blog for that matter), . . . → Read More: Noaspa News – 08.09.2010]]> Progress Report

Obviously, as with any such campaign ( or blog for that matter), there is a need to develop a good strategy and this will be the subject of a post either here or on Famous Bloggers in the near future. The idea is to present the current strategy to all noaspa members – and hopefully make some dramatic improvements with the help of their feedback, innovative ideas and internet marketing experience.

P.S. This invitation is currently being sent to website owners and online groups. Anyone wishing to appear on the Noaspa 2.0 page may simply leave a short message below.

The idea is to focus attention on the concerns surrounding the use of aspartame & sodium fluoride in our food, water & toothpaste - and to do so in a balanced way.

Highlighting not only genuine . . . → Read More: Twitter Campaign]]> Website launched, now starting a campaign to attract as large a following as possible for Noaspa on Twitter … as quickly as possible.

The idea is to focus attention on the concerns surrounding the use of aspartame & sodium fluoride in our food, water & toothpaste -
and to do so in a balanced way.

Highlighting not only genuine concern.
But also the opinions of those that see no problem

If a significant number of people are concerned – something, surely, must be done. But what is a significant number ? 10 ? 100 ? 1,000 ?

OK, let’s say a million concerned people would warrant attention.

If that number of people made their genuine concerns public -
surely something should be done ….

Either real proof of safety should be provided by manufacturers / public authorities. Or the unnecessary possibility of serious health problems should be removed.

So if you’re concerned – simply start to follow Noaspa on Twitter and retweet the daily post there whenever you can.

Let your friends know too … help to quickly create a million followers there ( at least )and help to highlight these issues in the public domain.

It’s the sort of number that spells impact. It’s one to aim for and then exceed. It’s awareness.

It’s do-able.
