I tell a lot of minnows to not look at the whale community with jealousy, but to embrace them not for earnings they can give but more so the advice they can provide the minnow community due to the knowledge they gained to obtain their wealth. This is not a competition nor should there be a division between the two classes in Steemit. If we work together all of us could make Steemit a household name. Whales generate a boost to the economy on any coin, they are the huge backers to hold value in Steemit and people minnows should look up to for inspiration. My biggest goal with SBC is to bring equality between the two classes, that way everyone works together and helps each other out and keeps that great content earning when they deserve it. Whales are very vital to our community, just as much as the newest member that just entered the door.
The Minnows Deserve The Help When They Put In Real Effort
I see a huge growing faction of discouraged minnows. Some just bicker due to the uphill battle before them but others I see working their ass off here for change. That is what drove me to create SBC and I do feel that this project could fast become the encouragement they need. The minnows with pure talents but getting lost in the mix of noise as we grow on Steemit is a tragedy in my eyes. These people truly bring a lot to the table and I can point out over 50 of such personalities withing our SBC SLACK every day. There is a gap inside Steemit of lost souls not being seen for what they offer, so we must hold these talents up and help them where we can. Personally I have put my time into SBC as a full time job for that reason. Minnows drowning is a sight I don't want to see because in turn they may quit using us one day and that could start a sad chain reaction of negative feedback that we don't need for this great community.
What Steemit Blogger Central Proposes to the Whales of Steemit, and Our Plans for the Future
To not beat around the bush on this subject, we plainly need some serious support from the whales of Steemit to make this a bigger success than it is allowed to be at the moment. Help can come in many forms, and here is a list of the things this project is needing to get itself more traction:
1) Easy step a whale can provide help is by joining our Slack and checking out our social pages. Get a feel for what we are trying to do for the Steemit community and if they agree with it just simply pass along advice by joining our Slack and turning our WHALEHOUSE channel into their home to help users learn how to use this best.
2) Helping us boost the Steem Power machine on this profile is badly needed. Our plan with this profile for SBC is pretty simple. We update the community about the inner workings of SBC. We plan to pop in some tutorials now and then for the community and we also will highlight and feature the real hard working Steemians within our community. The plan is to convert all earnings here to Steem Power so we can help the worthy bloggers with us by upvotting, to basically convert this into a whale itself so we can help minnows fend for themselves. I personally load side earnings from my personal Steemit profile to boost this, and I have miners working 24/7 to add to the SP but alone I am not really able to get it going where it needs to be. So simple upvotes from backers is a huge help or donations if anyone believes in what we are doing. We do this for free full time so its hard to drum up revenue but we would like to keep this as a free service to help with our time out of the kindness of our hearts.
3) Writing articles or promoting our project would be a huge help. A lot of users out there have a lot of say to help this project grow and we have hopes that word of mouth will spread around more. If you can at the very least and like what you see in our SBC project, pass the links around...that could do more wonders than money sometimes.
In Closing I would Like to Thank Everyone for Reading this
Thanks for taking your time to read this and feel out the project if you deem it worth going that far with. That is all I really ask of you to give what we are trying to do a huge moment of your time to see if its a benefit to the community. No matter what I am dedicated to making this happen for as many people as I can, but a little help to boost us forward and back us could do wonders for a lot of users. We stand strong with the Steemit community, so I hope to see more standing strong with SBC as we move forward.

More is coming my friend, one thing about us at SBC, we are always coming up with more stuff constantly lol
GREAT INITIATIVE.. upvoted resteemed and following. :)
I really appreciate that support, thank you for spreading the word out there and helping us out
Upvoted and resteemed. As a new user, I'm trying really hard to get more actively involved in the community. Initiatives like this are great for more exposure and getting to know other people like myself, who are trying to gain followers by consistently writing quality and original content.
I'm joining all of the Discord channels and am putting everything this community is offering to good use. I'm a heavy Slack user already, so this makes perfect sense for me to join up with you guys there.
I'll be seeing you in there later tonight.
Again, thank you for supporting Steemit minnows such as myself. Being successful here is hard. It's not meant to be easy. But I believe it can be accomplished with hard work, dedication, ambition, a positive attitude, and or course . . . excellent content.
Such a great attitude to have, and we welcome you to join us with huge open arms of help where we can provide it for you. Its truly a great crowd in our project, which you should see when you come in tonight. I actually was going to open a Discord originally for this but it gets so noisy I believe with all the options in their platform, kind of figured Slack would be more one on one type experience for everyone. We have plans to expand even more but as we grow naturally. Look forward to meeting you on the other side, hopefully we can make you hit those goals with a few boosts from our community
Welcome aboard, it's great to have you with us @shawnfishbit.
Great outlook on things, I'm sure it will take you far :)
Has been great watching the slack group grow. Total respect for your efforts there.
I really appreciate the support, I have just begun my friend....have a feeling a year from now this will be a powerhouse of a thing
