PEOPLE POWER - "The Resteem and Upvote Movement"
Every day someone comments on the two posts that I have put up in reference to this idea.
That means that people out there are resteeming and upvoting new posts by newer Steemians!
FANTASTIC! WONDERFUL! ABSOLUTELY SUPERCALAFRAGALISTISTICISPIALADOSCIOUS! :)
For those who have not yet read the posts I am referring to, here is the short version:
Every day each person finds a post that interests them in the "NEW" section, which was written by someone who is newer than you.
Simply upvote it, resteem it.
If you like, you can promote the idea with a comment along the lines of:
@ username, I've found your post to be worthy of a resteem and upvote from me. I'm an actual person and I am doing this on behalf of the Resteem - Upvote movement. Join the movement, read about it here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@jackmiller/a-call-to-arms-beat-the-bots-the-movement
and add a copy of the above logo!
This is not a requirement, just an idea put forwards by one of the people who are participating in this movement.
The numbers are quite simple too,
if we can get 100 Steemians participating in this movement, that is 100 new quality posts promoted, resteemed and upvoted that are written by people who are newer than us to this platform.
Multiply that by 365 days per year = 36,500 resteems and upvotes per year!
Multiply that by the number of followers we all have, who shall potentially see it in their FEED, and we start talking MILLIONS of potential new views/reads!
Here are the links to the last two posts that I mentioned here:

Remember, you have no obligations, this is exclusively a voluntary movement, based on good will and people power.
You do not have to use any tags or mention anyone in particular, just go ahead and DO IT, help a person out!
IT REALLY DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TO MAKE A REAL BIG DIFFERENCE!
I am not a huge fan of resteeming myself but I do try and find newer users, upvote them and nominate them for a competition or something to help with some exposure and encouragement. I have been using the @stsl (Share The Steem Love) competition, but there isn't one running right now.
We need a regular "Best Rookie of the Week" award or something for accounts newer than 1 month where we can do some new talent discovery and promotion. I do see some good talent come through the door....and then fall through the cracks.
It's very nice to hear this from an experience steemian like yourself, I am just a one-week old minnow lol. Its very steep learning curve for newcomers but with time it gets easier.
Well done @buggedout
Good for you, you help a lot of new members who do not know how this platform works - yet
I'm relatively a new here (two months) and all kind of help is really a life-saving.
I’m on it.
came ready to help the new ones , good idea
Write your own post about the idea, lets get the word out!

Thanks for using POCKET! MasterPocket is running this confirmer code.
On board with this totally. New has new and different ideas. It seems that "trending" is people talking about steem and bitcoin. Talking about steem nonstop on steem is making the idea look like a ponzi scheme or pyramid scam to outsiders. Make steeemit look more like a Facebook feed and the people will come. Unfortunately that means more pictures of meals.
