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 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!

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.

So I've been  having lots of fun setting up the Cosmic Soup and Cosmic Shop!~

So far~ My friend Meg has accepted to possibly be my secretary/manager.
(she is amazing helping me focus on the tasks that need completion.)

Logged into my Gaia online account after many years of inactivity.
Apparently... my items are worth more then I could possibly have ever imagined now..


So I'm hoping to do some form of give away contest to help promote the Cosmic soup project.

As advised by my other wonderful friend Charlie ~ We've taken up using Tumblr-
Updates can be found Here.

Our goal is to create, share and pay it forward.
