How To
Get Involved |
|
A good
place to start is the American Defense Forces
Online
Community. At the ADF community, patriotic Americans can
communicate and coordinate with other patriotic Americans
about threats to the United States and how best to respond.
Threats to Americans or numerous, and some vary by location.
Examples include volunteering to search for a child missing in
the wilderness or filling sandbags to help prevent a town from
being flooded. |

Using
Social Media to Promote ADF |
Following
are tips and techniques to use when promoting ADF on the
Internet (when either promoting the ADF main site www.americandefenseforces.com
or local/group sites).
 1.
When creating an account/page/network at social media sites
such as MySpace, FaceBook, Twitter, etc., keep the name/username as
short and easy to remember as possible ( /ADF, /ADF-Phoenix, etc.).
2. Be sure to complete the profile and add pics when
available. You can use the Vigilant Eagle logo (right), or
variations of the logo for local/group sites.
3. If you have multiple social media sites you can use
Ping.fm to update all sites "in a
snap."
4. You can launch your own social network for your
local/group. At Ning.com,
for example, you can create a social network site within
minutes. PHPFox.com provides software
that webmasters can use to set up a community on their own
site.
5. Follow the Terms of Use at social media sites. Do not spam
or engage in other violations of "netiquette" - the do's and
don'ts of online communication. Be professional.
6. Update your site(s) frequently with unique content. Unique
content is picked up more quickly by some Internet search
engines, resulting in increased traffic to your site(s). |
