Hey Illario. It is not as simple to simply that the contribution from Asia should be 10 times bigger. It is not just about GDP.
Our readership from the three countries in the top 10: Macao, Oman and Singapore; is a fraction of that of the United States. (specifically 1.4% of the USA). Do not get me wrong. Fundraising sees area for potential long term growth in both Asia and South America but we must be realistic for what that growth is. That's why I gave a long list of the factors that affect the potential for fundraising in Asia, Africa and South America. Its a complex equation Regards Seddon On Mon, Oct 1, 2018 at 11:58 AM Ilario valdelli <valde...@gmail.com> wrote: > I agree in that point. > > Please be back to this millenium. > > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal) > (updated to 2017). > > Three Asian countries are listed in the top 10. > > And the estimation is to have sooner a fourth: > > > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_past_and_projected_GDP_(PPP)#IMF_estimates_between_2020_and_2023 > > We can say that we have to look at the distribution of GDP, but also in > this case three countries of the top 10 are Asian: > > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita > > Honestly there should be from Asia a contribution 10 times bigger in the > fundraising. > > I think that it's time to say that Asia is a continent that can give more. > > Kind regards > > > On 01/10/2018 12:28, Paulo Santos Perneta wrote: > > I suppose Asia can do a lot better than 3 million, but I don't augur much > > success with increasing those campaigns for Africa and South America, at > > least using the current model. > > > > Looking by the sample I know in Brazil (last year fundraising campaign, > in > > August I believe) the Brazilian Portuguese Wikipedia readers often got > > enraged to the point of vandalizing articles stating their disgust for a > > campaign asking money to an impoverished country (even more saying 10$ > was > > the cost of a coffee there).
