Good initiative, startups need help I feel like, I for one spent months befoe I started posting then I had to face the harsh reality too, but I pulled out a few all-nighters and here I am 150 followers :D Yay :) , I would say go conversing on good posts and good topics, be cool with people and they will love you :)
I feel like there is a greater need for the community and groups, more like conversations to be held, groups is one thing, active participation is another.
I for one have so much followers I can't get anywhere :D
And I'm not sure how much of my followers see my posts or are recurring in my themes/topics. Sure I can't post every day and find it better to comment away and read interesting topics, but still. At a certain point, it just becomes numbers :D, but still great idea
btw is there a chat room for minnowsunit lol minnowsunite for instance or something along those lines <i'm not that acquainted with the steemit chat.
Maybe we can gather the conscripts for the minnow unit :D to combat the whale splash :D we will need around over 9000 :D
