YOUR Post Resteemed to Over 7000 People? For Some of My Followers Who Are the Struggling Newbies and Minnows.

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Starting today I'll be resteeming more newbie and minnow posts to over 7000 followers in an effort to give those posts more opportunity to be seen.

(This is not a project. It's just something I've decided to do for my followers.)

Qualifications...

1. You must already be past the "Introduction" stage.

I've resteemed many posts before that use the introduction tag, but I won't be doing that anymore.

A lot of newbies do ok with their first introduction post, but it's from that point where things get hard.

So I'll be looking through my feed for my followers who are beyond that stage and have good articles that could benefit from some more eyeballs.

2. You should have under 500 SP (Steem Power).

I'm not making that a hard rule. If I see one of my followers with 1200 SP (for example), and it's a great post, I'll resteem it.

But I'm giving preference to minnows and complete newbies who have less than 500 SP.

3. Your post should have a little traction already.

My resteems have had the most impact for posts that have been getting some views and upvotes before I've seen it.

You don't need to have hundreds of upvotes, however, just some indication that your post has been seen and liked by some people.

I won't be looking at the dollar amount that your posts have generated. I don't care about that.


What you can expect...

More views and more upvotes!

You'll get more views and more upvotes without a doubt, but keep in mind that it doesn't necessarily mean you'll make a lot more money.

The amount of money you'll make from a big resteem still depends on the people who view your post.

You might make only a few pennies more or several dollars more.

You'll probably get some new followers too if they like you. :)

I'll be resteeming between 3 to 6 posts from newbies and minnows on my followers list every day, but I'll be resteeming each one at different times of the day.

Please don't contact me to do a "scheduled" resteem and don't submit to me a post to check out.

I'll be deciding when to post each resteem and I'll be choosing the posts by scrolling through my feed only.

I'm limiting resteems to 3-6 per day so I don't flood my followers' feeds with a lot of my resteems.

Again, this isn't a community project. It's just something I have decided to do on my own and in my own way.

I can't help everyone, but if it helps some of you get a bit more than you would have otherwise, then for me it's worth the effort.

I like it! I have been using higher %age of voting power for newbies. It takes time to build a following and have more upvotes. I also have resteemed a few. I like your idea very much.

That's awesome! Maybe you could follow me so you can see my blog post. Just sayin'...no pressure.
You know what I don't understand? Some people can just come sliding in here and on their first introduction post, they earn a lot of money. Especially women and I guess I can understand why but gee's, c'mon.

I understand your frustration. I have aeen others make a lot on their 1st post too. It takes time and patience. I made more from commenting and upvoting than through posting. As you get more followers i believe you will see a change. Also as your steem power builds it helps increase your earnings. I was lucky to have bought a lot of steem at around 16 cents...

Just dont give up. Keep reading, commenting, and upvoting...as you get more people seeing your post hopefully you will see an increase.

Also, enjoy this journey through steemit, and earnings will follow. No problem following you.

Thank you for the advice and for following me too. I will follow back. I am having fun here and I love this site so the money will follow.

I am looking forward to having more time to work on blogging here. I work 7 days a week and some are long hours. At 65 years old i want to now have more time here and working in my shop and garden.

I have interacted with people all over the world...facinating experience. I see the potential to undo the negative impressions that world leaders tend to present about othwr countries. Us citizens are not all that different. So now we build a new community and culture here on steemit.

This is a great community and yes, it's too bad how countries, at least here in the US, make other countris look bad. It's all an illusion.

Oh, should have read this before I posted the other comment, If gardening is a passion then please check out my blog, gardening is one of my most obsessive hobbies ;)

Your suggestions are quite valuable indeed, I am a newbie and has just started my steemit journey, so im working diligently to get some good achievement out here

@r2cornell what a positive and empowering response to read! I am new to Steemit but the kind of generosity and kindness that I have seen so far is astounding. I appreciate your advice as a newbie... I am still trying to get the hang of this whole thing. Last week I was outside from sun up to sun down planting and frolicking in our beds and since I got this, I haven't left my office! ;) Thanks for shining some light in the world and reminding me to go check on my seedlings!

Thank you so much. Welcome to a wonderful site. I have been at this for around 4 months and still have a lot that I am learning about this site. I am following you and I re-steemed your intro post. I work 7 days a week and do not get as much time on steemit as I would like. I appreciate your kind words.

It seems to have a little bit of a learning curb for someone like me who is completely new to all this but it's been fun getting acquainted with it and having a place to jot down my thoughts and ideas ;) I love writing and I love reading the writing of others so I am happy to be here. Thanks for following and helping me share my words :) I really appreciate it <3

Just wanted to say thanks for the advise, it is daunting looking at the gap us newbies have to cross, and to read comments like this and those above is very encouraging, so thanks :)

Hey @mikej I just got Steemit so I don't have much (well any) of a following, but I hear and see the struggle so I'm following you! :)

That's a nice thing to do. I'm still a newbie for now, but if one day I get the power to help other newbies then I will.

Thanks. That's great you're doing that to help newbies. :)

How can you change the %age ??

An amazing inṭiative. As a Minnow just 7 days old,I do appreciate such support.

I would be honoured if you take a look at my blogs. I believe I qualify as per your criteria. Your comments will be very much appreciated.

I'll be taking a look at many blogs starting today sometime (It's night where I live, so it will be tomorrow in my timezone).

This is going to be an ongoing thing for me, long term. I can only do so much by myself, but I'll be giving it my best effort to help as many as I can.

Thank you. If you need any support please feel free to let me know. I can support with legwork as needed. I would love to provide support for this excellent initiative.

Wow. Such prompt response and support. You are amazing. Left a comment to thank you on my post too.

Hope it helps. I'll be resteeming some more posts from others tomorrow, but it's about 2 a.m. where I live. Going to dreamland soon. :)

I am glad that I may have the opportunity to be resteemed by you. I am in steemit for 2-3 days and struggling about what content should I write. You said you would resteem posts with a little traction, I hope I am one of it. But if not, I am going eveluate the content I have created. It is generous for experienced user helping newbie like me, thank you for the chance!

It doesn't need to have a lot of traction. A few comments or upvotes - just so I can identify it as something that isn't spam or too thin, I'll take a look. But I won't be able to see every post unfortunately.

Help me ...I m in swimming pool and don't know how to swim..save me

Thank you so much!

That's great! I'm sure those resteemed will be thankful.

Hi Joan, That is such a kind offer, every day I am on steemit I feel more and more touched by the kindness of the community - sometimes it's hard for us newbies to get going on the ladder! I've got some steempower as I invested $2,000 but still finding it hard to get my posts read - the one I posted today seems to have some good interest but still not a very wide readership - perhaps you could consider it for resteeming? https://steemit.com/health/@willstephens/seeing-my-anger-as-mine-working-to-transform-it-take-2

Not to worry if not, Thanks and Smiles, Will ;-))

Excellent post. Resteemed it. :)

Congrats on nearly 10,000 followers! However it is a little different considering the top 2 Steemit accounts have followed tens of thousands to get there (follow 4 follow is okay.. it doesn't really help with engagement) but it is still something none the less!

Thanks. Yeah, it's different than "earning" the followers by posting. I've never had an interest in being a daily blogger, but I'm interested in the success of the platform and in the vision Dan and Ned have for it.

Thanks! That's really awesome of you, so awesome that I'm resteeming your post to all my 28 followers :p but seriously, could use your help https://steemit.com/photography/@lenscape/travel-photography-101

Thank you! Really appreciate it :)

Cool idea! I think I can speak for a lot of minnows that it's a great idea and I'll be lying if I said that I am not interested myself.

wow 7k followers :)

First I was thinking I read wrong.... congrats! When we setup the Steem Racing Team (lol - see my last post) I will beg for one, haha.

nice work Joan.. Followed..
