The Cosmic Soup Networking project- How to set up

Lately a bunch of us have been networking regarding the Cosmic Soup project. ~


The idea is that each of us holds our own creative world and can use the internet to share it by connecting as a community where we promote, share and provide clicks for one anothers pages.

The goal is to grow towards self sustainability. (Like a plant it grows and flowers with time and dedication.)


1. Set up your foundation: (aka your kingdom)

This is the main place you will be updating from.  (blog, website, what ever works best for you.)

I recommend building a main website as your home page. ( I use Wix- as a free service right now)
Particularly if you have multiple projects on the go.



2. Build your digital network. 

Really spend some time getting to know how these different websites work as this will be your network of communication.

Much like the different networks in our body this will help bring you to your audience as efficiently as possible.

[A few are done up as tutorials~ the ones that I am missing tutorial wise will be updated asap.]

Tsu

Twitter  

Tumblr

Reddit

Pinterest

Stumble Upon

Facebook

Google+



If you do have a nintendo console and are an artist (3ds/2ds/wiiU)

I highly suggest networking on the nintendo miiverse. (It's full of amazing people)

~

3. Update REGULARLY

This is key to building an audience


For those who are up for joining this project~ Our main page should be up sometime by the end of the week.~

I will be msging you with the art I'm designing for the page to make sure it works for you.

How to set up your internet kingdom ~

Recently we have discovered wonderful potential the internet has to offer and are making this blog post about it.


I feel that this has great potential  to set people free to be their highest self so no one needs to work a dead end job that barely pays the bills.

(please note it will take time and effort)

here's a wonderful example from  some one who has already been doing this for years:

The idea starts like this: Most of us are employed for some one who in many peoples cases see's them as a number.


If you have a talent you can show: (music, art, writing, childcare, games and activities,cooking, sewing, whistling, trolling, comedy, anything)
You have your own original content to share with the world!

If you do something, might as well get payed for it too right?

As your traffic increases the space on your website becomes prime real estate for advertisement. (people who want to reach their target audience.)

We are not allowed to click our own adds, but we can offer a trade of clicking adds. Together we can also collaborate, and promote each other better.

You can also sign up for some directories to help advertise.

conclusion

We are entering a whole new area of adventure and exploration.

The potentials for us all to be our own employer's by offering our talents openly.
By creating and sharing and growing as a creative community.


Its all a learning process,so don't be afraid to ask for help or afraid to make mistakes.

Success comes from trial and error until you find your own.

As your website/blog/channel grows you can begin to make other deals with other people looking to advertise on your space, and grow your own empire.

How to use twitter

Twitter is an amazing networking website.
As news happens you can often see it love tweeted live.


Once you are signed in you have the main page.



This is where your news feed made up of the most recent post from people you are subscribed to.

You will have to get use to writing in small spaces. :P

Using #hashtags will help you connect.(keywords)


You will also see a list of trending topics.

In my opinion the best way to build a network of followers is to search through keywords and tweets from others on relevant topics.









When you follow some one, and they also follow you you are capable of sending private msgs.

Clicking on your icon will bring you to your own page where you can check what your profile looks like to visitors, as well as see your number of tweets, follows and followers.


Any questions comments about what I should add to this tutorial please leave a comment down below.


Best of luck!

Beware shameless gloaters

How often do you see adds on TV telling you how wonderful a company is and all the donations they make?

Today it is almost hard to go without seeing an advertisement at least at some point in your day.

Having grown up with advertisements my whole life,I guess you could say I have developed an immunity to many of them, some now make me never touch a product.

All I see now are payed to be smiling actors reading lines about why a product is amazing.

But the worst by far are the ones that jump on current time popular things.

Time for the Olympics?

Better make an add to tell consumers how selfless of a donater we are!

Special Olympics?

No profit in sponsoring that, next~!

Its the people who don't donate just for a tax break, or publicity placement that should be held in highest regard..

But quite often these selfless heroes take no credit.

Its the ones who take their own fortune and spend it making the lives of others better that make this world a better place to live in.



Happiness is the only reward they want and sometimes that loving karma may back to say thank you.



Have a story of kindness? Share it!


Now we live in a time where its possible to blog it, and share it with the world.

Acts of kindness fills everyone (even observers) with joy.

Promote selfless love.

How to use tumblr

Tumblr is a simple layout mass blogging site.

1. create an account or log in ~

Now you are at the main page

Subscribers you are following's posts will appear here.

2.At the top of the page you will have a verity of posting options.
Simply pick the one relevant to begin posting.



Making a post:

The layout is similar to any blog~
but At the bottom you have a section for tags (keywords to help people find your post)

It is always best to put as many keywords as relevantly possible.



Another key feature of tumblr is the ability to link your account to other services you use such as: Facebook, or Twitter.



By taking advantage of this network you are capable of updating in multiple places at the same time.





There is a section for popular topics, as well as a search feature. Please be warned unless your safe search is on you may find adult content.

Please enjoy and explore your time on tumblr.

How to use reddit

I keep forgetting that skills we have are all based on our experience, So I wish to create a series of blogs to help people learn the internet.

The internet is like the body and has many systems and functions to make it work the way it does.

Here's our first ever website tutorial for www.Reddit.com

This website is created on the concept of karma..
If its a thing in existence there is probably a subreddit for it.
(Warning : this can be both a good and a bad thing but lets face it. This is reality uncensored.)


From the main screen you will see a list of featured sub reddits.

To know what sub reddit is which just look here for the name.

[Highlighted in green in the image above.]

Creating an account on reddit is simple. You don't technicly even need an email. (later we will discuss throw away accounts.)
[Highlighted in turquoise in the image above.]



Once you are registered, you can begin your reddit adventure and subscribe to the ones you like.


[Highlighted in red] is where to look through all the currently available subreddits.

A description will be provided as well as appropriate warnings.
( NSFW means Not safe for work)


Reddit uses a system of voting to control what makes posted submissions to the top of the specific subreddit. (This is why you will see people being so happy to make it to the front page.)

Please note: the rules of reddit. As it is based on a good will system.

It is truly an amazing website with wonderful potential to reach a vast audience.


Karma are the points you accumulate when you post.
(They are worth nothing, but show your post and comment popularity.)


Please make sure to avoid problems you read the specific posting rules for each subreddit.


Now sit back have fun and enjoy discovering the world from your computer screen.

Raised to keep breeding into the machine

Growing up I have always wondered why equality wasn't a thing.
You hear the stories of racism and slavery and think its something from the past...
But after much contemplation over why intelligent individuals do not want to have kids due to "over population" and knowing that human psychology is understood to the point it has become a profession.

There are a few questions many of us are wondering:
Why is sex constantly fed to the young generations through music and movies?
Why all the cuts to education and the crazy prices for birth control?

The book Rich dad poor dad unveiled to me a philosophy I had never before contemplated.
According to the book "successful" individuals have people do the work for them.
While poor people always want to work hard to get ahead.

And having observed this in reality I now realize why humans are constantly being fed the subconscious urge to procreate like rabbits while education and birth control is not a priority.

I feel we may be like cattle being farmed for a system that serves the few that own everything.
Hard worker mentality has been bread into us since school. Work hard and get good grades. Get a good job, get nice things. (and many of us know this is not true in many cases.)

But in an economy with a rapidly declining job rate with ever increasing prices...
We cannot be forced to do things, so instead we are programmed to figure out what we think we want.

For many of us now and throughout most of history we desire money and power... (power usually being a side effect of having lots of money.)
I do find it suspicious that we are being led towards job creation on a global level that involves oil, and fracking when we know it causes so much harm....

Why all the desire to monitor and sensor the internet?

Are we perhaps coming into realization and those who control the majority of the market do not want to lose the power they have had for centuries?
Self proclaimed royalty, barons , land owners.

History paints a very messed up picture of reality.
Why do the work when some one can do the work for you?

Are we the cattle? And much like video surveillance was originally used to protect personal property, is this the reason those with power wish to use their vast riches to exploit us by watching our activity?

Was the internet monitoring to protect the people, or instead was it created to protect the rich and powerful?
Only those with a lot to lose are the ones willing to pay for protection.

Obviously I'm not expecting an answer but to get some discussion on this matter is my goal.
