Deploys one article across 9 platforms in sequence, each from a different persona, with cross-linking back to the money site.

Platform order

Step	Platform	Tier	Links to
1	Blogger	T1	money site
2	Google Sites	T1	step 1
3	Medium	T1	step 2
4	WordPress	T1	money site
5	Substack	T1	step 4
6	Tumblr	T2	step 5
7	LinkedIn	T2	step 6
8	Facebook	T2	step 7
9	Reddit	T2	step 8

Each post uses a different account/persona and links to the previous step. The chain terminates at the money site.

  SU[5. Substack] --> WP
  TU[6. Tumblr] --> SU
  LI[7. LinkedIn] --> TU
  FB[8. Facebook] --> LI
  RD[9. Reddit] --> FB

Tier 1 (Blogger, Medium, WordPress, Substack, Google Sites) are high-authority. Tier 2 (Tumblr, LinkedIn, Facebook, Reddit) are social. The chain spreads authority outward from the money site.
