in #payitforward7 years ago (edited)
Here a Minnow, there a minnow, everywhere a minnow! We all started as minnows and it takes hard work and a little help from others who curated our works to help us grow. Now it's time to Pay It Forward!


Week 4 is completed and we had massive growth yet again. We had a 50% growth in entries this week! Lets keep this growing and make it one of the biggest contests on Steemit! We are growing this contest purely in an organic way and that requires your help with an upvote, resteem, and any other promotion you can do.

Discord Room for Pay It Forward! & New Judge!

To better communicate with everyone and allow for people to have a place to share ideas and tips we have created a Discord Room. You can join the Pay It Forward Discord Room here.

A huge thanks to @wolfhart for setting this up and allowing us to take over a current room that @wolfhart was running to help new members get started out. Seriously a heart of gold!

@wolfhart also stepped up to become our 3rd judge for the contest which then means a 3rd Judges Choice SBI Sponsorship.

Please let me know if there is anything wrong in my post. Thank you
I have done editing and replacing my first blogger with one blogger who create his original work on art. what a relieve, finally found someone around.

Entry #7

Keep up the great work in finding quality bloggers to feature!

Insya Allah (with God's permission) I will learn from anyone to be a good curator in the future. Number 7 again! I will encourage my friends to jump on the bandwagon like you did to me and others. May I disqualified the first feature blogger in my entry.. I must look carefully that he is not post the original post, last week I have checked his post it was originally him, but now... Owh, I feel so shame. Can I take him down and replace it?

Yes you can replace someone you find out had stolen content. This sometimes is hard to catch. Thank you for keeping an eye on it.

Lucky #7 again:)

And there's no shame in making a mistake; the shame belongs to someone who plagiarizes...not to you:)
