Minds.com my guide to getting started and to use it the most efficient way
1. You will need a phone number not tied to your persons, they say they never keep your phone number in there database, however I recommned getting a burner phone. VoIP will not work, I have not found a VoIP phone number that has worked.
fairly cheaply you can get yourself a burner phone, paid with cash, and activated with an alias. all countries are different but the country I live in jewmart(walmart) has an easy phone you can buy and activate their brand is familymobile.
I hate jewmart and do not do my grocery shopping there, but I know that you can activate everything anonymously since that is why I am listing them here.
2. when you sign up to minds.com you will use a protonmail email and that burner phone phone number, to activate your wallet.
Minds is unique as it is ran on an etherium based token known as the minds token, you get these tokens by simply posting and receiving engagement (likes, views, and reposts)
this is the minimum you have to do if you want to take advantage of the token, and boosting system. which allows your posts to reach potentially anyone on the website.
However if you don't care about that right away you can do without a phone number. You just will not have access to a minds wallet, or the tokens / boosting ability, which is In my opinion the most powerful part of minds.com
if you want to take it a step further you can purchase minds+ with a anonymous prepaid credit card / debit card if you can find one that works. having minds+ allows you to gain coins/post to other minds+
3.Tokens
there are two types of minds tokens, both are essentially the same, only differ in how they are stored.
off chain tokens are stored on the site, on minds servers these are most likely going to be the only tokens that you will handle
there are also on chain tokens, which are tokens which are on the etherium chain directly, therefore you have to have them outside of the website, in your own wallet, such as a MetaMask wallet, these are pain because they require etherium gas price to trade, and if you have ever traded in etherium based tokens its not worth it unless you have $1000s of dollars you are trading.
You really don't need to worry about on chain tokens.
You will be only boosting your posts from the off-chain tokens you garner from the engagement you get from posts.
4. Groups. Minds is different than gab, On gab there are many groups that have big numbers where you can post directly too. however that is not the same with minds, minds has many many groups but they are spread out and their numbers are not as high as the groups on gabs. for this reason we will be using groups differently.
Groups should be looked at as not a place to share our material posts to, necessarily, but a way to garner tokens. Take art groups, and other groups like this. you would join an art group and post beautiful art, get likes and shares, join a meme group and share some Lets go Brandon memes, and get likes and shares. do this to gain tokens.
5. Posting and boosting
Now here comes the best part of minds. Once you have tokens .5 tokens is needed minimum to boost a post. 1 token = 1000 views , so .5 is 500.
Whenever you post an article or anything, you can have the option to boost it with your token. it's essentially advertising.
Off-chain tokens from what I am aware of are the only tokens that you can boost with, reasonably. Using the On-chain tokens, as I've tried, requires gas prices in excess of 30$ - 90$ depending on the day, which is insanity. I have not found a way to convert On-chain to Off-chain yet. So just garner Off-chain tokens using the method above.
I have noticed that some posts are easier to boost than others, I'm certain there are some keywords in the algorithm that trigger whether you will get a successful boost,
for example I have boosted things with .5 tokens to get 500 views and only received 70-200 views, and very slowly as well.
and other times I have boosted 1-2 tokens and got 5 thousand views, on on of our articles. To combat this I also use TinyURL as a url shortener, a lot of our links such as any link containing angelfire is considered spam to minds.com
fore more research on what works and doesnt works go through what I have posted at minds.com/Satchives or https://www.minds.com/pro/satchives/feed (better view)
you can see all my posts and all of the views on each post in the top right of the post.
I put together this channel not long ago and it's already at 50k views. And this is me being lazy with it. If i would of taken advantage of the group method above to garner more tokens I could be more.
Thats all because of the boosting, when you boost it is seen by everyone, up to the set amount of people.
When it comes to posting one of the most powerful tools, is scheduling, Usually I schedule more than I have been, if you can see it's been a few days since I posts because my scheduled posts ran out.
Get in a good habit of scheduling posts one a week or every day using popular relevant tags and posts or articles from the Sites. I plan to eventually sit down and schedule a few hundred so I won't be missing sharing content for a few months, and only have to go on to boost / reply to comments if I choose too.
I notice sometimes when you copy and paste into minds its easy and formatted correctly and other times it's not.
6. last tip is you can bypass GAB's character limit by posting your minds post link over to gab, this can be a way for you to bring people from groups on gab to your minds post potentially.
as i mention in this post https://ancient-forums.com/viewtopic.php?p=295231#p295231 and this post https://ancient-forums.com/viewtopic.php?p=295401#p295401 on the internet warfare thread.
Referrals get you tokens.
It is of my opinion that if the Joy of Satan Ministries is going to make an account on Minds.com that it suggests everyone sign up to minds.com through their referral, this will give an edge, I'll get another phone line and make a new account as well as under their referral, the more referrals the more tokens you will earn every day without doing much work. the more tokens the more ability you have to boost posts.
referral says "You will receive 5% of monthly earnings your referrals earn through tips and memberships "
(not to mention some of us could take our time to produce minds accounts that are specifically for the purpose of building up tips/ memberships via non JOS material, with the account being a referral of Joy of Satan Official )
And it doesn't sound like much but I have received a few tips in tokens, people like the truth.
if a hundred of us sign up through the Main Sites account then we would be working together is a very efficient manner.
I believe I covered everything. if there is anything I missed and and realize later I'll come back and add to it.
Remember to always look good, be the better person I saw a lot of people on gab, I'm not sure who but, but some who let their emotions get away, and made us look bad by engaging in pointless arguments and vulgar speak. there is no need to waste your energy on that it only hurts our image. Be civil in your discourse, silence is golden.
