Motivation:

The key to your success as an EO is your ability to motivate people to sign up for your events. Please help us understand what we can expect from you.


When you become an EO, how much time will you dedicate to promoting your events?

At least hours each week.


Facebook is an important tool for promoting events.

How many Facebook friends do you have?

Please start promoting now by Liking 8minuteDating on Facebook


We provide EOs with instructions on how to promote their events using other online services, such as Meetup, Craigslist, Twitter, online dating sites, etc.

*Can we count on you to actively promote your events on these websites? Yes No


One of the most effective ways to generate attendance is by going to places that are popular with singles (e.g., bars, concerts, commuter stations, lunch spots, ball games, etc.) to hand out flyers, talk with people about your events, and collect email addresses of anyone who’s interested. (The EO Area has flyers, posters and hand-held signs that you can print yourself or order.)

As an EO, how often will you go out flyering?

      At least 3 times per week

      At least once per week

      Maybe every two weeks

      I don’t believe that flyering is a good use of my time (Please explain):

     

New EOs need to meet with one or more venues right away to schedule your events. How soon after becoming an EO will you read our instructions, print out the materials we provide, and meet with venue managers in person to set up your events?

      Within the first two days

      Within the first week

      Within two weeks

      I don’t know when I’ll have the time
