Step 01

Publish Your Website & Get Your Link

Your Loop Community site is built and ready. Right now it is in preview mode — only you can see it. Here is how to make it live for the whole world in under two minutes.

  1. 1Look at the top-right corner of this Manus screen - you will see a button that says Publish
  2. 2Click Publish
  3. 3Manus will give you a free web address that looks like: theloop-community.manus.space
  4. 4Copy that link and save it — in your phone notes, a text to yourself, or write it down

Tip: That link is what you share everywhere. Anyone who clicks it will land on your Loop Community Programs page, read about all five programs, sign up, and buy Loop Points. You can also get a custom address like community.bartertheloop.com — just ask!

📱
Step 02

Share on Social Media — Free

Social media is the fastest and cheapest way to reach people. You do not need to pay anything. Here is exactly what to do on each platform.

👥Facebook
Best for: Seniors & Local Communities
  1. 1Create a free Facebook Page called 'The Loop - BarterTheLoop Community'
  2. 2Post your link with a message like: 'Seniors, teens, and neighbors - there is a new way to help each other and earn Loop Points. Check out our five community programs!'
  3. 3Join local Facebook Groups in your city (search your city name + 'community', 'seniors', or 'neighborhood') and post your link there
  4. 4Ask friends and family to share your post — every share reaches hundreds more people for free
📸Instagram
Best for: Youth & Young Adults
  1. 1Create an account called @bartertheloop or @theloopkerry
  2. 2Post a photo or short video of yourself explaining the programs
  3. 3In your bio (the small description at the top of your profile), paste your link — that is the only clickable link on Instagram
  4. 4Use hashtags: #community #volunteers #youthloop #seniorcare #safedate #looppoints #bartertheloop
🎵TikTok
Best for: Teens & Youth Loop
  1. 1Create an account and record a 30–60 second video explaining the Youth Loop
  2. 2Say something like: 'Hey teens! Want to earn money helping seniors? Here is how...'
  3. 3Put your website link in your bio
  4. 4Post regularly — even simple phone videos can reach thousands overnight for free
🏘️Nextdoor
Best for: Neighbors & Local Community
  1. 1Go to nextdoor.com and sign up with your home address
  2. 2Post about the Charging Loop stations and the Safe Loop dating program
  3. 3Your neighbors will see it immediately — these are exactly the people you want to reach
🎯
Step 03
