Social Media Gain & Trouble
|
|
Flavours of Fingal, Dublin Pride Parade & Pride Village, Atmosphere Kite Festival
|
|
|
|
Hi!!
|
|
Without Social Media and in particular without Facebook the Dublin Event Guide would not exist. You and I wouldn’t be here! I did start the weekly newsletter before Facebook got big, but only with the help of Facebook, I was able to reach sooooo many people. And even today, more than 20,000 of you read this information about free events in Dublin week after week via Facebook. So Facebook is a blessing!
|
|
But it is also a curse and last week I found out more so than other times. The significant drop in reach is a pain, we are 83,000 Dublin Event Guide Followers on Facebook but on a good day just over 20,000 see the message. It was down to 3,000 at some point so I am glad that it has recovered so well, but it could even be better if Facebook wanted to or allowed it. And recently my comments on my own post got censored by Facebook without any chance to dispute the decision. Annoying!
|
|
|
|
But this week the “annoying” went to a next level: On Tuesday evening my PayPal account was cleared out thanks to the fraudulent creation and running of an ad (in Italian) on Facebook that was certainly not done by me and was intended to bring people to some spurious website in Bulgaria. Within a few minutes EUR 130 were gone (luckily I was able to stop the fraud at that point, otherwise thousands could have been gone because I had PayPal connected to my credit card).
|
 |
|
Lots of proof that it was fraud, but Facebook is at the moment still refusing to refund the money. I will keep working on that and hope to get the money back. My advice: If you have a payment method linked to your Facebook ad account, disconnect it if you don’t plan to use it for now. I had it still connected from ads that I bought 3 years ago for a business I was doing some social media management for.

This week is a mad week in Dublin with Taylor Swift in the Aviva Stadium on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Shania Twain in Marley Park yesterday (Friday), Longitude Festival in Marlay Park, Villagers at an Open Air concert in Trinity College on Saturday, the Mother Pride Block Party at Collins Barracks on Saturday and the GAA Football All-Ireland Senior Championship on Sunday in Croke Park. Dublin will be FULL of people.
All the events mentioned above are not free, so what is happening in the free event world? Well, the main events are Dublin Pride Parade (and other Pride events), Flavours of Fingal at Newbridge House (Donabate), Atmosphere, the kight and flight festival in Dun Laoghaire on Sunday.

|
|
|
Donations in July:
EUR 49
|
|
(By the end of the month, this number has to reach or exceed EUR 200 to guarantee the continuation of the Dublin Event Guide.)
|
|
|
If the Dublin Event Guide helps you to find out about free events in Dublin, please help with a donation.
|
|
The counter here shows the current donation status. By the end of the month EUR 200 will be subtracted to pay the bills. If more money has been donated, the rest will be carried forward. If donations have stopped below the EUR 200, the missing amount will be carried over.
|
|
|
|
Last week Ross, Audrey and Fergus helped with a donation. Thank you so much!! Dublin Event Guide Readers are AMAZING and our help and support is much appreciated by me and (hopefully) by all other readers of the Dublin Event Guide, because without you, the Dublin Event Guide couldn’t continue!
|
|
With the above counter you know at all times where we stand and when donating is needed. Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and all donors will also get some additional bonuses.
|
 |
|
Here are some more details about donations:
Any amount is appreciated, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. – That’s just one Euro per month and you get FOUR Dublin Event Guides for that Euro! If your funds are limited, but you still want to help, you can buy a virtual coffee for just EUR 4. All donations will be used in full for the Dublin Event Guide.
|
|
To donate, use the Dublin Event Guide Donation Page here: gturl.eu/DEGdonate. It is really easy to use and uses Stripe’s trustworthy payment processing. You can even sign up for a yearly subscription on the donation page! Yearly subscriptions will give some important financial stability and reliability to the Dublin Event Guide and are therefore very much appreciated! (Look for the RED subscription buttons at the bottom of the Donation Page.)
|
 |
|
In case the donation page doesn’t work for you, the old links are here: You can donate via www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide or for Revolut users among you, just use @joergbrb or now also revolut.me/joergbrb
(If possible, please send your full name and e-mail address as a message with the payment via PayPal or Revolut so that I can tell you about bonuses for donors when available.)
|
|
To buy one or two or even three virtual coffees for the Dublin Event Guide, come to the “Buy Me a Coffee” page here www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG
|
 |
|
And there is one other way to help and it is even free: If you come to www.DublinEventGuide.com and check out some of the ads and click on the ones that you find interesting, that also helps with a few cent! ?
Thank you!!

And the free events for next week….
|
|
|
|
|
Please note: To speed up the creation of the weekday section of the Dublin Event Guide, I am experimenting with a few minor changes. One is that I am not adding the full address of the venue to all events anymore (for now). If you don’t know where the venue is, you will find it by checking the event link.

+++ LEARN A NEW SKILL WITH ONLINE COURSES
Is there ever a wrong time for learning a new skill or enhancing what you are already interested in? Maybe it is a language or an instrument or some technical skills? Or something completely different? Nearly every subject is there! Check out Udemy via the link below, they have thousands of courses and there is good chance that what you are looking for is available. Nearly all the courses are REALLY affordable!
The lowest price most of the time is EUR 12.99. Sometimes it even goes down further to EUR 9.99 and when that happens (about once or twice a year), I will tell you. But even 12.99 is definitely a good price for what you get! – Check out the website at www.getthislink.com/Udemy22 And if you buy through that link, you also help the Dublin Event Guide! :-)
|
|
+++ Coastival Festival
Coastival is a festival organised by Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. It brings art, history, games, culture, sailing, family fun, music events to Dun Laoghaire from 29 June to 07 July. There are lots of events listed in this Dublin Event Guide and more can be found at
