How to use RESTEEM the right way? - Let's be social and grow together
The newest feature on Steemit "resteem"
My thoughts on it and why I think it's the most useful tool so far, if used "correctly"
I guess there is no real right or wrong and it's up to every person individually what kind of content they want to show on their blog, I get it... but here is something I thought about..
Even though I don't have a large following on Steemit yet, am no dolphin and no top-earner, I'm also not completely new at this point, have been active on a daily basis and know that my blogposts will be in the feed of over 200 people. For someone who is just getting started on Steemit with a reputation of 25 for example it is as we all know not so easy to get noticed for the first time and it surely can get frustrating after writing several posts with effort that go unnoticed, especially since we're growing steadily and more content gets created by new accounts every day.
In "the past" (a week ago on Steemit is like an entire year) it was only possible for you to get noticed and gain followers if you firstly got upvoted by a whale so that your post made it on the trending page. Now the problem with that was that there is a limited number of whales and witnesses who search for newbies and can actually draw attention to you...
Then @dragonslayer109 had the great idea to pick "hidden gems" and repost content, which then spread into different languages like and multiple featured author series evolving, like "Steemperlen" the german edition by @knozaki2015
Now it got even better.. through RESTEEM we all can now "feature authors", find hidden gems and give newbies a chance to get seen, by simply pressing the resteem button. I do think that it would be nice to have the resteemed posts separately from your own blogposts, but I believe there are still many changes and features to come over time so for now it is one and while I have to admit that I at first thought... "I don't want my structure to get messed up" and like to maintain everything in a neat order with only my blogposts being on my blog, I somehow changed my mind after realizing that this great feature is actually a tool we need to use in order to work towards the long-term goal which is growing the community of Steemit, encouraging people to stay and blog on Steemit.
That is why I decided to start taking advantage of the resteem button and use it as a chance for new users to get seen. I might be a little late with this post and some of your are already resteeming like crazy, but if you just like I did in the beginning thought.. "I want to keep my blog clean and maintain my structure", maybe you can now agree with me that the tool is so powerful and should be used accordingly.
If you are completely new here on Steemit and your posts didn't get seen, you can comment below the topics you write on your blog, some information, or contact me on steemit.chat and I will be glad to resteem some creative content creators, starting this weekend. The only real condition I have is that you put effort and thought into it which shows through pictures, formatting and of course content quality.
I hope some of my fellow Steemian-friends will follow me on this one to help create a social community where we lift each other to grow together and establish a solid foundation before we reach out to the masses and Steemit globally takes over.

Much love,

I still see NO Reesteem button or anything on any posts.... how do I resteem???
I can't see it on mine either. It's a conspiracy the Whales are crushing us ;) I've just tagged @mrs.steemit (that's twice now, sorry) on a reply stating this very thing. Mine's just a bit more long winded.
U think Mrs Steemit knows u mentioned her or u tagged her? Lol, if that is the case it be easy to just tag a number of people and get your post seen!
The "arrow" button next to the reply button
I only see that Arrow about 20% of the time why can I not Reese team a post that a friend of mine made? There's no Arrow...
Here ya go. At the bottom right of a post you will see:
Can i resteem my own posts?
I don't have that icon :(
её там нет(

The button says promote on mine. Hope this helps
You cannot resteem a post more than 7 days old.
Ahhh thank you! Was looking to resteem an old post but didnt find the arrow!
Good post! I would only wish people I follow would resteem only good quality posts they really like, because once in a while I have my feed packed with only resteemed content...
I'm sure it won't be long before people start selling their resteems like advertising space. Hmmm...
True! I didn't event think of that, but yes probably that will happen in the future once Steemit goes viral just like you can buy shoutouts on Instagram...crazy.. I like this early stage of support and kindness
Oh yes that will happen for sure as it will also happen that people will be buying selling and trading favors for UPvotes.
This is happening now, and personally I do not encourage this if people starts asking for FEES to resteem.
Yes I have been and obviously still am ahead of my time. I can see the trends before they are trends.
It seems like a lot of minnows are leaving now, but I have no doubt that in the "future" (a week on Steemit is like an entire year), there will be many more ways for them to get noticed as Steemit throws out more and more updates.
A lot of minnows are leaving? Is that a feeling or a fact?..
and yes to the second part, I'm sure there will be more and more features soon
I've talked to a lot of minnows who just feel discouraged since none of their content goes anywhere. So they usually give up after a few weeks.
I'm a minnow, I think. I just think the potential of this platform is so exciting. It's not perfect, but then, what is? Minnows, whales, dolphins--no other platform (as far as I know) has such concepts. Maybe others will catch on and accept these memes. I just like to see people experimenting.
Thanks alor Miss Steemit, i took the liberty for me to follow you and resttem this Article of urs as i found its helpful for me newbie :)
your comment " I do think that it would be nice to have the resteemed posts separately from your own blogposts", I so totally agree with. Or at least a tab where I can see only my posts on a page. I appreciate your posts, Steem ON!
I totally agree with everything you said!
Great post!

Quite true
is there a way to UNDO an ACCIDENTAL RESTEEM??
Unfortunately, there is no way to undo a resteem
There is no resteem arrow:
Very helpful post. Sure seems to be a problem with the resteem button. I wonder if there is a link to upvoting and the appearance of the resteem button. In other words, if you upvote everything without discriminating like I've been doing then maybe the resteem button disappears. I know I've seen if before but it isn't there now.
I think I'm learning that I need to quit being nice and use the upvote like it's a prized possession.
By the way @mrs.steemit, I am following you now because I'm really intrigued by your articles on working and traveling. My wife and I are retired, have a decent income, but would like to be able to travel more. So, I'm reading your articles with enthusiasm.
Please take a look at my articles if you can find some time.
