    200+membersSimple Rules ForOnline Politics: Colin Delany (NMS)Think about the ends before you think about the means. Think before you act: what is your goal? Who is your audience? Where can you reach them? Brilliance is secondary to persistance. Starting a revolution is great. Continuing that revolution takes work. You will only be successful with consistent interaction and engagement. Plan on this before you launch. Integrate, Integrate, Integrate. Make sure that your online efforts mirror your offline efforts for maximum efficacy. Links, Hashtags, URLs, make sure they are everywhere and are consistent. Check out www.epolitics.com for more information from Colin.
