Palestine 3000 A.D. has over 300 ‘Likes’ or ‘Fans’ in its Facebook Page finally. It is approximately fit over 10 buses of people which is still a small number. But history has showed us that such small number had defeated large armies. Unfortunately Palestine 3000 A.D. is not a militant group or affiliated with such entity. The only weapon it employs is art and loaded with sarcasm. It is not meant to be a pop culture which everybody want to have one. At slightly over 300 ‘Fans’ it can be qualified as a cult.
The largest fan base is still in Malaysia which is its host. United States has climbed to second place though it was not the initial market target but I guess it is natural because the emotional root started from there back in 2004. The third largest fan base is Singapore which is encouraging. It followed by United Kingdom which I hope will grow more. Surprisingly we have a few fans from Middle East but fans from Palestine itself is growing. Perhaps it is the language issue because Palestine 3000 A.D. promos are all in English. I guess it is the same situation in Indonesia which I hope to be the biggest fan of Palestine 3000 A.D. But I will promote heavily in Indonesia when I will be there next year. Palestine 3000 A.D. will be translated and published in Bahasa Indonesia which I think a fitting language to render the sarcasm of my writing effectively. My Indonesian root is quite sure of that.
In term of age group the 25-34 group has been the largest since the beginning. When I was writing Palestine 3000 A.D. initially that was the age group I had in mind and hopefully the 15-24 group the second largest could be attracted by its visuals. There is a sharp drop in the 35-44 group. I hope it will improve in the future.
Female fans are around 33% while male fans are around 65%. Male fans have been a majority since beginning but female fans are 1% higher than males in the 55+ age group. I am not profiling anybody on these figures or trying to figure out the outcome. It is just a Facebook Insights and it may be totally different in term of numbers when Palestine 3000 A.D. is finally published but it does give me certain marketing directions.
To all who like Palestine 3000 A.D. I would like to thank you very much for the appreciations you have shown for all the work I had done. There are plenty more to come. It is long and hard work without any financial help. Everything is self-funding and armed with all the creative and technical experiences I acquired throughout the years. I ‘bleed’ in my work just like the Palestinians bleed. I can imagine how they felt to feel almost hopeless sometime. I hope my works for Palestine 3000 A.D. will reflect that pain so that the rest of the world could feel. Please show to the Palestinians that we will not fail them and will always support them the best we can.
