Chapter 4. Create A Home Base.

Starting out small. This could be a simple place like your apartment or home. A place where your followers can reach out to their support group. Even in the beginning there should be a consistent place for group meetings and a place for one on one consultations.
For group meetings and personal consultations the area should be clean. A place people want to be close to you, their leader. People should be relaxed and comfortable enough that they may want to get naked there.
If you gather enough funds, You will want to find a permanent base. Preferably an isolated place where you can take over the local population. A very small or no police force is desirable. If there is a police force, have a meeting with them. Maybe make a few donations. Local government officials can be you early warning for snitches or Federal Government investigations. David Korsesch got information about the impending ATF raid from a post office employee that was one of his followers. Journalists warned a mail man that the ATF was going to raid the Branch-Davidian Compound. The loyal follower notified David Koresch.

Chapter 5. Fund Raising.

It all starts with a dream. Then it is a good idea to put this dream on paper and sell it. Having a series of best selling books is a great cornerstone to giver you cult a financial base. Look at the case of L Ron Hubbard. “Dianetics” is the public outline presented for Scientology. I still remember the commercials for this book back in the 1980s. The commercial simply showed the book and a question like “what is the reason for life” and below that was a page number. All your life questions were answered in this simple book, supposedly.
Scientology is the best example to show a cult can generate money. The best selling book was just the start of the income flow. The book led to an initial consultation. Which cost money. The initial consultation leads to a series of one on one coaching sessions. Each session costing more money. Plus information is gathered about the follower. Strengths, weaknesses, desires, and embarrassing moments. All this creates a profile to let you own your follower. Getting him or her to give you more and more money.
In the modern era, There are many ways to gain money for your group. Make sure your cult has a Patreon account. This can be an effective way to bring new followers into your cult. Make Youtube and Facebook videos showing your group doing good things. Use these videos to direct people to your patreon accounts.

Chapter 6. Mind Control.
Profiles of your followers help you understand what makes your followers tick. Keep a file on each member of your cult. Your end goal should be for the subject to lose their identity and gain the collective identity of the cult. Once the individual is no longer an individual, Any desires for material gain should be gone.
In the modern social media world of today people try so hard to be unique. But we are all the same. The biggest cult is that of the internet. People want to fit in and be a part of the world view. Look at Reddit. Initially, Many members bound together to fight the evil Scientology group. But now, Reddit is a cult into its own. The media gets most of their stories and ideas from Reddit.
Every cult member should have multiple Reddit accounts, So that you can control the world view of your cult. You can also find out if any members are complaining in Reddit. Search Reddit everyday for your name and the cult.
