Thanks to the tremendous effort and enthusiasm of so many, the Newbie Resteem Initiative is picking up steam (pun intended). :) By the efforts and actions that are being seen over the last 4 days, we are starting to get attention for our cause and larger steemians are being attracted to help. Helping "Newbies" is an issue that all steemians can identify with and the #newbieresteemday hashtag is pulling together so many assets under one roof.
We have so many things in the works right now I could write 5 blog posts a day (which I can't), so we are trying to introduce these programs in a measured and useful (and easy to understand) pace. Today I will be putting out 2 posts because the topics are so different. But please make sure to read both of them because both are very important and merit their own post.
How Would You Like To Have An Experienced "Steemit Personal Mentor" Helping You Directly?
We are proud to present the news that #newbieresteemday and @goldendawne have teamed up in a partnership called "Dear Dawne". @goldendawne is an accomplished member of our community and she wants to help both the members of the Newbie Resteen Initiative and alse the "newbies" we serve.
Dawne will be regularly participating with us in a program called "Dear Dawne" where she will take comments, look directly at your posts and give you one on one suggestions, (and she will even go through your blog... How's that for being awesome!). Basically she wants to be your mentor and help you with ideas, formatting, access to resources, and even applying for various grants and delegations. Plus you can get "discovered" by a valued and connected member than can help you rise through the ranks!
Quick Facts About Dawne
In just the last two months, Dawne has:
- Become the writer & staff member for @qurator (which if you dont know about it, you should)
- Been delegated 10k SP from a whale- she is a Stewards of Gondor recipient
- Holds weekly, sometimes daily, contests to share the delegation she was awarded and given
- She is a mentor in certain Discord groups and helps incoming new members with formatting, posts and how to succeed
In the mentor program she is involved in... she says "the best reward is knowing and watching the people you partnered up with have their own steemit page and posts blossom and grow".
She is the real deal.
To read more about Dawne check out her past post: Personal Mentoring Statement For Homesteadersonline Community or just go to her steemit page @goldendawne an see the quality of her work and the connections she has.
"Dear Dawne" Is Born And How It Will Work
"Dear Dawne" will open up her schedule and be available to help you individually on the "Dear Dawne" days. She will answer questions, she will offer advice, she will even direct you to the right place if you don't know how to find something on Steemit. This is your chance to connect with a "60" Reputation Steemian on an individual and personal basis.
The way we will roll out this partnership is we will put out a post on the days that Dawne is available and let our members (and the newbies that we serve) know she is available to give you guidance and help. And you just show up to the post and ask your questions to her in the comment section. Its that simple. She will read the comment section and reply individually with you and decide how best to help you from there.
You should be on the lookout for these posts in the very near future, and you can also find them by using the hastags #newbieresteemday and the newly created #deardawne. (Note: these hashtags are vital to finding your way through the ever increasing amount of content on steemit and they are invaluable in finding what you want quickly and efficiently. Learn how to use them, it will improve your efficiency quite a bit.)
So what do you think? If you like this new idea, give Dawne a shout out in the comment section right now. Let her know you value her effort to help us out and also take a minute to quickly introduce yourself. Don't be shy, she is very nice and very approachable. You won't regret it, I promise ;)
ps... to give you an idea of what she thinks about you, let me highlight her introduction to me about our initiative:
"I applaud your dedication, persistence and determination on helping new members advance. All these contests, giveaways, etc of sbd and steem may NOT seem like much, but they do help. I advise all red fish, plankton and minnows (yes, I am still a minnow even with all my accomplishments) to get involved. Help others. Share and strive to go one step further tomorrow. It does pay off. All that hard work and, even, frustration do pay off."
Doesn't that sound like a good partnership to you? :)
As always, be humble and...
Wow! This is great, I hope she can help me .Because I'm not sure if im doing the right thing on my post's.
Over the next few days I will be kind of peeking in on some posts and pages... I would recommend if you, actually all of you, if you're NOT on Discord, to please sign up. I do most of my behind the scenes mentoring and chatting there.
Thank you for choosing to help @mudcat36 and @davemccoy. Sunday will be one week since start of their project, and I have already seen it help several people. Have a good day.
Yes I'm already on discord
she will help you for sure, so keep your eyes open it will be coming soon. ;)

OK Thank you @davemccoy
You're welcome @cjao20 and if you didn't see my last post, you can enter 2 quick contests and will earn some free money. Its easy to do and will take less than 5 mins. here's the link:
https://steemit.com/newbieresteemday/@davemccoy/action-alert-newbie-bonus-you-can-win-money-in-less-than-5-minutes
Ok Thank you. I entered one of the two contests. Greetings.
That's awesome! What a great idea!
you will get along great with her and I think she will really help you get noticed even more for your outstanding work (and not to mention, great personality ;) ). and btw, its nice to see you.. I've missed you in the last 3 or 4 days :( lol
Awesome @davemccoy. The more partnerships we get with users who are on the same page as us the better. Steem away.
@mudcat36, you and @davemccoy are awesome!! Like I said to Dave, I've been encouraging, upvoting and resteeming newbies because only one short month ago, I remember the feeling of barely treading water, and I haven't even done my #newbieresteemday yet! I 'travel' around steeemit at night just to get a better feel of everything and this initiative is really taking off for sure. Now including @goldendawne is a no-brainer. Great job guys! Cheers! I'm resteeming this to help the continuum of the wave :)
Thank you!!! I know we have crossed paths a few times on steemit in the last few days or weeks.
Hello @deardawne. I know I have not stopped by to introduce myself but my cofounder @davemccoy told me he got you on board with our effort so I figured I'd stop by and say hi. When I started the Steemit Newbie Resteem Initiative I had no clue it would take off as it has. I simply wanted to help new arrivals and provide guidance to those struggling to gain recognition on the platform and also strengthen Steemit. We all need help in finding our way sometimes and I felt a strong need to do that and contribute both to Steemit and its members. @davemccoy has been invaluable in this effort and is running a majority if not all of our efforts in reaching out and letting people know we exist. As he gathers numbers I am designing a landing website that I will be linking into Steemit to serve as a home to our initiative and also a place to feature works from the community and promote them. This is keeping me away from Steemit as it's a slow process but it is progressing. I intend for the site to have loads of features so writing in the code takes time and sadly I'm not as skilled as I'd like to be there. I'm also looking at the possibility of smart token design centered on our effort where users are rewarded for supporting other users on the platform. I am currently working with and collaborating with a dear friend who is an incredibly talented block chain programmer, so when Steemit Smart Tokens are released I hope to have a native currency centered and focused on our initiative where those who help are rewarded. Thank you so much for teaming up with us. Your presence and support is truly appreciated and I look forward to working with you towards strengthening Steemit and its new members. :)
oh you're welcome! I love how I 'meet' nice people like yourself in my 'travel' here :) This is a really kind thing you're doing here. People helping people...that's my thing!!
Such an awesome post. I think this will be a great project and help a lot of newbies. I too hope one day I can help a lot of people and keep them motivated on their steemit journey. Great job Dave!! :)
Thank you @deancarter, that is a very nice compliment! And btw, we are developing ways that you CAN help a lot of people (and in a way that suits you too)... So you are invited to join us and become a founding member, all you have to do is try to help others and you will succeed at it I'm sure! ;)
I am so happy I got to read this post and more happy about the interest in helping out newbies. Thankyou for sharing sir
Hi anna, i love how I see you everywhere... You are not shy and you are persistent. That is great and will be a big asset here. I made you a promise yesterday to get your posts resteemed, and I will get on that tonight and reach out to our re-steemers... Also if you haven't seen my last post about entering 2 contests, I will give you the link here... It will take you just 5 mins and you will be guaranteed to win some money since you are still a newbie... So go check it out, follow the rules, and get your money growing ;)
https://steemit.com/newbieresteemday/@davemccoy/action-alert-newbie-bonus-you-can-win-money-in-less-than-5-minutes

Wow! How cool is that? Good on you Dave and Dawne. I guess it just proves the old adage "Good Things Happen When Good Things Happen" !
haha... I like that adage ;) ... and don't forget to tell your friend to let me know she/he is here and connected to me!
A great boost to the little ones like me. It's always a good thing to have guidance. Thank you for this initiative!
I agree 100% @unspeakableme ... @goldendawne will be great for you, me, and everyone! And thank you for joining (I just volunteered you) lol :)
Thank you! I'm trying to get my health under control enough to be able to start posting again.Hopefully, it happens sooner rather than later. I would hate to miss out on this great opportunity to learn.
I wish you the best in health too. I will hold the fort down and let me know when you come back if I can help catch you up on anything you may have missed. I'm not going anywhere, so it won't take you long to catch up!
Is there another way to reach you apart from on steemit posts? I may have a proposal to make about the community you're forming :)
sure you can reach me on discord, or by email, or if in the us by phone. I will be happy to discuss in any format that works best with you. Just let me know your preferred way of communicating an I will give you the info.
Which discord server do you go to? I'll try and catch you there. My phone usually freezes with discord but I'll borrow the work pc if ever.
just making sure you got my response... tell me how you want to connect and I will take care of it.
How much coffee do you drink a day Dave???:) I totally can't keep up with you:)!!! This is awesome. I have been meeting all kinds of newbies and upvoting etc. and I haven't even done my #newbieresteemday!! You are a machine and I am in awe!! I will check in with @goldendawne also because I think this #deardawne is pretty awesome too! Cheers buddy! (I took one "beach day" here and you've done laps ahead of me haha)
hahaha... I saw this 2 days ago when you wrote it and I almost spit out my coffee laughing lol... I didn't want to disturb the posts with my replies to let someone else get a word in edgewise ;) ...
And that's quite a compliment too, thank you for saying it... I get motivated to do things when I have people like you that I'm working with. Just hearing that you are helping the newbies even before you do a resteeming day, that just tells me how awesome our members are before we barely get off the ground. So thank you too Lynn! :)
and btw, no more beach days lol... just kidding!
ok...so I just came in from the beach..not! Just kidding. It's actually been crappy weather here (well crappy compared to mexico weather:) . Hope you didn't ruin your clothes spitting out your coffee....nice of you to give others a chance to reply though haha
You deserve the compliments I'm giving because I don't give them lightly; just honestly! You really are pretty amazing. My buddy @deancarter and I today were just talking about you (in 'real life'. He lives here too; we were watching the patriots in football today). We were both saying what a great influence someone like you has over this platform. Actually, I just wrote a blog today (https://steemit.com/steemit/@lynncoyle1/steemit-as-a-society-rocks) with you in mind. In all seriousness Dave, I don't think I'd be where I am in terms of numbers, but also in terms of 'mindset' if it weren't for you. So, you are welcome, but also thank you again for everything! Cheers!
And if I can't have some beach days...well, something if pretty darn messed up:)
hahaha... ok ok... you can have one beach day a week in the winter and 3 in the summer... lol ... seriously I bet that is great, I love the beach. In fact I used to have a boat and I would go out in the ocean and we would fish. Its an activity that really calms the mind and relaxed me.
I'm touched that you say such nice things and that means you "get me" too. So that is very special when someone can understand my purpose and activity. I'm also very happy that I could help you out as you progress through here, though I have no doubt that you would have certainly made it without me too. I just believe that if we work together and share then collectively our intelligence grows at a much faster pace. And in this place we have found together, that is the name of the game. As we help others we make friends, and frankly I haven't ever seen anything like it. Its really cool when I look at it from a big picture point of view.
I'm glad we met here and think we will stay friends for a long time... And who knows, maybe I will get to take a beach day myself and I will go to the beach with you both! ;)
And ps tell mrmojorisin that he is now connected to me too :)
You're so nice for commenting on this post. For that, I gave you a vote! I just ask for a Follow in return!
I'm with you buddy...still in awe at the positive community spirit here...there really isn't another social media platform like it!
And if you're ever in Playa del Carmen, let me know for sure!! I'll let Dean (aka mrmojorisin) know...he thinks you're pretty great too:)
Agreed and I will put that in my bucket list, hopefully I can make it happen! Tell Mr mojo risin that I'm honored and I look forward to seeing him too!
I just realised how it may appear that Dean (@Mrmojorisin) is my guy; actually @briancourteau is; Dean is our buddy here :) Brian, my husband, has cancer...that is what brought us to Mexico (it's a beautiful place to live out our time together:( . @johnjgeddes just memorialised our love in a poem, in his blog, https://steemit.com/poetry/@johnjgeddes/how-i-see-you.
He is another great guy here Dave....an authentic, kind heart like you:)
Having said all of that, we (me, Brian, Dean, and I'm sure we can make more friends:) would love love love to see you in person! Take a break from work, your steemit will travel with you, and come get some sun!!:) Then, and only then, can I rationalise my beach days hahaha

hey @sweetcha .. I was speaking with @goldendawne earlier today and gave her your name as someone she might want to work directly with. I think you would benefit a lot working with her. Also I appreciate all you do. I see you out there resteeming posts and talking to people and offering help.. I also saw you post our introduction and translate into Tagalog. Very good job po.... (or is it ate?) ...
you have a great personality and a wonderful heart and I know you will always be one of may favorites here. So try to keep an eye out for @goldendawne (you mispelled it by leaving off the "e" at the end) ;) she should make her appearance in the next few days
Keep up the good work and keep having fun too!
wow feeling, you always motivate me, my confidence starting to boost like a rocket lol... It's better "po" than "ate", lets think that we are all at the same generation....oh sorry, yeah misspelled, my fingers sin😂 I really appreciate your support to me, I saw too you rock....so lets rock and roll @davemccoy😊
lol... you're fun... don't worry about spelling with me, its the thoughts that count ;) ... and "po" it is! Anyone that has such a good heart has to be in my generation anyways lol...
and yes we rock together all the way to the top sweetcha!!! :)
happy I am that I make you smile, don't deny it, lol...yeah to success ...werpa!
Looking forward to seeing @goldendawne advice and wisdom on minnows' questions.
I would really like to know about the best use of tags so will be asking about that or looking out for someone else asking about that.
Thanks for doing this @goldendawne. I don't know how you find the time! And maybe that would be another good question - where our time as mini minnows is best spent! 😍
Tags... ah, lovely tags! Yes those can be a little confusing and sometimes overwhelming in the beginning. But once you get to know them and get a handle on them, it becomes much easier.
Hello ALL!
Sorry I'm late to the party!
Me and hubby went out for dinner last night to celebrate some of my steemit's success this past week. It literally has been a whirlwind!
I connected with Dave after reading his one post four times! I can remember the days of just starting out, even though I have only been on steemit for just over six months. But... I have made steemit my career- for lack of better word or phrase.
While I am quite busy in my normal steemit travels and work, as I said, I remember the struggles in the beginning to get established and seek out useful information and guidance here. I belong to a few GREAT communities on here and LOVE every single one of them. While I am mainly imbedded in the homesteading and gardening communities, most of what I can offer and share with all of you can cross-over to other topics and tags. More or less, general ways to grow, expand and advance in the steemit world.
Hi!
Thank you so much , this is great for us little ones on this platform. I'm really looking forward to some mentoring. You are amazing for helping us out. I swear , I have not been here for long but the support system here is overwhelming. In a good way.
Thank you. :)
That is one thing you will definitely notice on steemit... the strong community bonds and support system. Never and nowhere else have I been on a platform that people are so helpful, giving of themselves and their knowledge as well as ready to take on projects and give back.
Looking forward to helping those who need some guidance, or even just a sounding board to brainstorm with on their ideas and posts.
Thanks so much @goldendawne for giving us your precious golden time! I have used the tag #deardawne and hope to get some of your advice on how to improve or if I'm doing something wrong.
Thank you so much! :)
@wanderlass you will hit it off with @goldendawne ... she should be doing her new session in the next few days so keep a look out ;)
Looking forward to the sessions with @goldendawne. You're good at spotting people with golden hearts here in Steemit, @davemccoy :)
I think she is an amazing Steemian who loves to help other users become better and improve there posts and writing.I have no doubt this is a great initiative. I am sure many new and current users will appreciate her tips, and her help.
Love it. Keep helping each other people.
"The more we give, the more we will all have"
Thank YOU! I know we have chatted in comments recently! Great to see you here!
You are more than welcome. :) I love anything which has to with helping other users. So hats of to you lady. :)
I’m amazed and grateful that you’re willing and able to do this, Dawne! Your time management skills must be killer!! Thank you for helping out us newbies :)
lol- I like to think so. Some days life gets crazy and out of control, but I just roll with the punches!
Wow @goldendawne what an amazing thing to be a part of! I will be sure to keep an eye out, I have dozens of questions haha!
Thank you!! And yes... I'm sure there are a million questions everyone has. I'm hoping to answer most; if possible.
I am definitely finding her posts helpful. I am yet to have any SBD balance here otherwise I'd have signed up for her qurator membership. I have seen her content and there are tons of things to learn for anyone who is into the homesteader community.
Hi Rydhi, we will fix that soon... And yes she will help you a lot...
As far as getting some SBD, you can get some free by participating in these 2 contests that I posted about today. They are free to enter and since you are a newbie, you will be guaranteed to make at least $0.25 sbd just for entering and commenting. Its easy, free, and fun! here is the link to explain the 2 contests:
https://steemit.com/newbieresteemday/@davemccoy/action-alert-newbie-bonus-you-can-win-money-in-less-than-5-minutes
Thanks for stopping by and I will look out on the contests personally to make sure you do it right and earn some sbd ;)
This post has received a 3.01 % upvote from @boomerang thanks to: @davemccoy
That is a really cool idea! I love watching this platform evolve. Members come up with cool ideas that really wouldn't work well on other platforms and that it so, so cool! I have been a writer for all of my life. I wonder what my life would have been life if this particular platform were around when I was a very young writer? What a wonderful experience.
Hey @sunnyofoz... Its very nice to meet you and I'm glad we connected. I too wonder what things would've been like if I had discovered this just one year earlier much less 20 years ago... The cool thing is it is still very young. While it seems like it is well developed and lots of action, it still has a lot of development and improvements coming. In just my 35 days here I have learned of many exciting initiatives and some of them could literally change the lives of millions. If you want to learn a little about what I'm talking about go read up on @surpassinggoogle's activities. It will blow your mind what he has planned and what is taking place beneath the surface.
And I can tell you this too... You can learn this and get grow at a good pace if you take the time to connect and learn from people here. I will be happy to help you and so will many many others. There is lots of things to do and many with so much useful talents and experiences to share. We can do much more if we work together and find ways that integrate out efforts when possible. So its nice to meet you and I am now connected to you just by your comment. And I can tell we will stay in touch and be working together really soon!
ps... you are a newbie so make sure to join these 2 contests in my last blog post... You are guaranteed to win at least $0.25 sbd just by entering. You need to play these games because as a writer you will be good at it and you can do really well just doing that (not counting you blog of course)... I will help you and give you pointers. I want to see you succeed!
