DAILY FIND15

Build a candidate list first. Then let rules, relevance, and permission decide whether anything deserves a comment or pitch.

Candidate goal15/day

Find up to fifteen possible destinations, then screen them before joining, asking, or posting.

Good fitquestion

Prioritize places where people ask for records, dates, documents, source paths, or caveats.

Share routeexact

Match one destination to one Ledger page. The homepage is rarely the best first link.

Count rulecandidate

Discovery creates leads only. It does not count as reach until something is approved and visible.

SEARCH PROMPTS

Fifteen places to look before posting

Copy, search, screen
02 / Facebook pages

Comment threads under civic pages

The page allows outside resources and the thread is already asking for source context.

"Epstein files" "source" "Facebook"

Route: https://innercircleledger.com/comment-kit/

Next: Pick a comment starter and adapt it to the exact question.

Open route
04 / YouTube

Show-note comments

The video discusses released records and viewers ask for document routes.

"Epstein files" "DOJ" "House Oversight"

Route: https://innercircleledger.com/epstein-files/

Next: Use a short disclosure and avoid repeated comments across videos.

Open route
05 / Substack

Newsletter link roundups

The writer curates public-record resources or accountability explainers.

"Epstein files" "newsletter" "links"

Route: https://innercircleledger.com/link-brief/

Next: Pitch one citation-ready route with the attribution line.

Open route
06 / podcasts

Hosts needing source trails

The show covers accountability records and links sources for listeners.

"Epstein files" "show notes" "podcast"

Route: https://innercircleledger.com/press-note/

Next: Send the press note plus one exact answer page.

Open route
09 / LinkedIn

Governance and compliance readers

Readers discuss documentation, governance, records access, or source handling.

"public records" "accountability" "Epstein files"

Route: https://innercircleledger.com/methodology/

Next: Frame it as methodology and public-record routing, not partisan combat.

Open route
11 / forums

Research and FOIA boards

Users trade source paths and expect precise public-record references.

"FOIA" "Epstein" "records"

Route: https://innercircleledger.com/sources/

Next: Use the source directory or Epstein map, not a promotional pitch.

Open route
12 / local civic groups

Nonprofit and library lists

The audience values media literacy, official records, and explainers.

"public records" "civic" "newsletter"

Route: https://innercircleledger.com/media-kit/

Next: Offer the media kit as a free reader-service resource.

Open route
13 / journalist lists

Beat reporters and editors

The writer already covers courts, government records, or accountability.

"Epstein files" "reporter" "source documents"

Route: https://innercircleledger.com/pitch-desk/

Next: Send a one-to-one pitch with one reason their current work fits.

Open route
14 / current politics

Daily accountability threads

The thread asks for current developments rather than the Epstein archive.

"what changed" "Trump" "public records"

Route: https://innercircleledger.com/trump-tracker/

Next: Use the tracker route instead of forcing an unrelated Epstein link.

Open route
15 / no-link rooms

Communities that bar outside links

The room permits source discussion but not external URLs.

"no outside links" "politics group" "sources"

Route: https://innercircleledger.com/moderator-brief/

Next: Use the no-link fallback and do not count the placement as site traffic.

FIT FILTERS

Useful beats loud
Rules

Find the posting policy first

Check whether the destination allows links, self-disclosure, source resources, and follow-up replies before drafting anything.

Need

Look for questions, not fights

The best candidate has a records question. Skip threads where the link would only feed an argument.

Route

Choose the narrowest page

Use an answer page when the question is narrow, the source map when the question is broad, and the tracker only for current developments.

Permission

Ask before guarded placements

Groups, moderated pages, and forums should run through the moderator brief before any Ledger link appears.

Signal

Prefer durable audiences

A searchable forum answer, newsletter link, or show note may beat a fast social thread because it can keep sending readers later.

Measure

Keep candidates separate

Discovery is only a lead list. Reach starts when an allowed, visible post or link exists and can be logged.

CANDIDATE LOG

Do not count discovery as reach.

Use this line when you find a possible destination. Move it to the outreach tracker only after rules and relevance are checked.
