Last year, I emailed over 15,000 high school
Seniors and asked them what they saw underdog
candidates do in their schools to successfully
win their high school elections.

Over 1,000 of the most helpful answers are
collected in a brand new book called "HOW TO WIN
A HIGH SCHOOL ELECTION - advice and ideas
collected from over 1,000 high school Seniors."

"Only the popular kids ever win" is a myth.
Underdogs win all the time. Here's how.

There's far too much great advice to post here
(it takes up almost 200 pages), but here's an
overview...

-----

THE TOP TEN WAYS TO WIN A HIGH SCHOOL ELECTION
-- from the book "How To Win A High School
Election (advice and ideas collected from
over 1,000 high school Seniors)"


10. Don't give up by not trying. PUSH YOURSELF
to go for it!

9. Don't overdo it with the posters, they're
not what people base their votes on. KEEP THE
PUBLICITY CUTE AND SIMPLE, and focus instead on
being the most genuine, approachable, easy-going
candidate running -- be a "people person."

8. Keep the ATTITUDE that you're just a
typical, normal student, a peer who wants to
work hard for the class and who has concrete
ideas and real enthusiasm for the job. Do not
get self-important or act political. Do not
plastic-smile and kiss babies.

7. Be friendly and TALK TO EVERYONE, not just
the popular people. Hang around in the hallways
and meet the students, don't turn your back on
them to hang more posters.

6. ASK PEOPLE TO VOTE. Especially the people
who normally wouldn't vote at all. The person
with the most support doesn't win, the person
with the most votes does. Get them to the polls!
