Promoting Original Content: Ten(ish) Amazing Novelists I've Discovered On Minds
In the era of Big-Tech internet censorship, Minds stands out as a major social media platform that respects freedom of speech. For those whose voices have been silenced on other platforms such as YouTube, Facebook or Twitter, Minds offers a safe haven where all ideas are free to compete in the marketplace.
Let us now offer potential new uses yet another reason to migrate over to Minds: Original Creative Content.
I want Minds to be the place to be if you're looking to discover cool new artists, musicians, film-makers, or authors. I envision Minds to be the cultural MECCA of the internet.
If you're on Minds, you're already riding the rising tide of an underground cultural movement that will soon sweep aside the stale and stagnating lamestream. It's a wide open field here where the players are relatively new so everyone has an equal chance to rise to the top. Plus, we've got Tokens, which we can earn for free that we can use to boost our art. What other platform offers this free of charge? Take advantage of this. Encourage others to join us. This is gonna be an awesome ride.
As an author, I follow many other authors here on Minds. I would like to take this opportunity to promote them. Please subscribe to their channels, check out their art, remind, comment, like and share.
