http://www.coffeepartyusa.com/7-steps

Step 1: Go to http://news.coffeepartyusa.com/ (and hit "follow").




Step 2: Create a profile. Go http://www.scoop.it/ and click on the blue button that says "Sign up for free." It allows you to use the information you've already entered into your Facebook or Twitter account, or, you can start anew.

[NOTE: If you are at http://news.coffeepartyusa.com/ the "join scoop.it" button at the top doesn't always work. We've let Scoop.it know they need to fix that.]

After you've add a photo, and described yourself on your profile page, create a topic page where all of your content will go (without having to have it approved by one of our curators). This way, even if not every post you suggest is chosen for one of our pages, those that ARE chosen will allow readers to click on to your own topic page where all your content is displayed.

Step 3: Suggest Content. Go back to News.CoffeePartyUSA.com or one of our other news pages and suggest content by hitting the "Suggest" button at the top. If you are interested in multiple topics, you can suggest an item to more than one page. For instance, an article for Coffee Party Immigration might have broad economic implications, and be appropriate also for Coffee Party News.
Step 4: Connect Your Networks to your Scoop.it profile. While in the process of suggesting or adding content, Scoop.it will prompt you to connect your to other social networks that you are logged in to at the time (Facebook, Twitter, etc). Start by clicking on the "More" button at the bottom of the "suggest" box. Once your social networks are connected, a checkbox will allow you to decide on a case-by-case basis whether content goes on Scoop.it only, or on Scopp.it plus your other social networks.
Step 5: Add Your Own Touch. Whether its your own website or someone else's that you want to point to, Scoop.it allows you to choose from the photos that are on the web page you are sharing. Scoop.it also allows you to upload your own photo from your computer.




Coffee Party pages have a style guide that includes things like (1) always including a by-line listing the author and publication and (2) always include at least the first two paragraphs of an article so that readers are not forced to click a second time to learn what the article is about. If you sign-up to become an official part of our team, we'll send you a more detailed style guide that will make it more likely that your content suggestions are "scooped" and share in our network.
Step 6: Choose Scoop.it pages that share your focus. Familiarize yourself with the topics that are being curated by Coffee Party members. Figure out what kind of stuff normally goes up there, and ask yourself what you can add.
Step 7: Keep Track of Your Progress. Your profile will let you know how many people you have brought into the Coffee Party News network.

How do you get more more hits? Suggest content often and on multiple pages, and not just in the Coffee Party Network. Your content is more likely to be shared by others in the Coffee Party community if it is: fact-based, civil, relevant, informative, engaging, well-formatted, and with proper attribution (listing the author and the publication when you cite someone else's work). If you don't follow these steps, we'll may not be able to share your content, or, we'll not share it until we have time to conform it to our style guide.

    I despise republicans.Hard to say who I hate most.You tend to hate who screws you the most and are supposed to be closest to you. That would be the Benedict Arnold types like the blue dog democrats.Is there anything in the world lower on the bacterial chain than a blue dog democrat? George Washington and his men faced unbelievable hardships: severe shortages of ammunition, food, clothing.Nothing was as dangerous as treason of Benedict Arnold corrupt congress whore supreme court judges. Filth!

    Forget about the media there is no time. It will take years of struggle & competition for your media to reach the popularity (of YouTube for example).

    The greatest problem right here (on this Planet) & right now is Modern Money Mechanics (money as debt & future value of money calling itself without an end condition).

    Demand No.1:

    End condition on MMMs-possessions above 10 B to be appropriated & deleted from the system along with other toxic assets, progressive taxes on the financial transactions
