In the internet world, great content attracts readers, so we have set up The Moment of Peace website to feature your content … for free! It is our way of helping people and also rewarding you for what you do.
The intention of “The Moment of Peace” is to promote the open sharing of ideas and teachings from around the world to foster peaceful living. Through this sharing of ideas from various traditions, faiths, beliefs and practices we can come to learn and understand from each other about what is common to us all, and build a bridge that can unite people in a common vision. The below outlines some way to do this.
Write a Post and Get Noticed
A great way to get involved and to get free publicity, to a large global audience, is to write posts (articles) with compelling content. Once you’ve registered as a member you can create posts (articles) about your life, lessons you’ve learn, your community group, your organisation and what they do, and share it with others. People can then vote on this content, the more votes the more you’ll get noticed. Please be mindful this is for a worldwide audience and should be written to be inclusive, embracing and accepting of other faiths and views. Let us know after you’ve registered (write to @dean) and we’ll elevate your account privileges on the site so you can get access to write posts on the site.
Your Post Featured on Our Home Page
Once a week we’ll select and feature a couple of yourarticles on this homepage for free! Write something powerful that can help others, offer an interesting perspective, share something up-lifting, or write a heart-warming story under your profile and we could pick you to be front and centre stage on our home page! We appreciate what you do and this is our way of giving you a bit of a free publicity!
Make Friends and Share
Once you’ve registered as a member you can send friend requests to others and share content and ideas with them. In your profile you can update your status (in the Activity stream) to let friends and members know what you’ve been doing today (much like Facebook and Twitter). Also, by adding an avatar photo in your member profile you help build a friendly “The Moment of Peace” community that others want to be a part of. Within your member profile you can also share photos and videos. Enjoy!
Make a Group, Chat & Create Forums
You can create a group of like-minded people to discuss topics you are interested in. People can then subscribe to the group and read about what the group is discussing and contribute to the discussion. You can also write in the Groups Activity stream (in the same way your personal profile status update works). The groups activity stream can act like a chat window to talk live and dynamically with other members without refreshing your screen. Within a group you can also create forums (think of them as topic threads) to discuss specific topics amongst the members of the group much like a bulletin board . Groups can either be public, private, or hidden.

Here are a few important pointers:
- Be sure to include a photo or book cover in your post, it always helps grab attention. (It is also worthwhile setting a “featured image”, which will display as a thumbnail when people search for content).
- Your article must be in alignment with the intentions of The Moment of Peace and contain something that people get something worthwhile from.
- Your article can’t just be a self-sell. People must be able to read the article and walk away feeling enriched by it. Therefore consider writing about the importance of mindfulness, silence, prayer, happiness and peace or some other life enhancing aspect.
- You can always plug your book or business somewhere within the article or at the end. If the article is well written people will respond.
