Steemians Unite-A Community of Members Committed to Contributing As Much As Promoting

in #helpfulwhales7 years ago (edited)

Attention all Steemians:

Please help get the word out by resteeming this announcement.

This new Google Plus #community was created primarily as a fix for minnows that are constantly promoting links but never getting any results because every one else is only committed to posting as well. And we all know how hard it is to get any of the whales, which make up a small percentage of #Steemians, to #readarticles from writers at lower levels. This is a big problem on #Steem.

The solution is for minnows to unite and to commit to reading one article for evey time they promote their own link, and also contribute to the community by choosing to either upvote, resteem, comment positively or comment with honest constructive criticism. Whatever the comment may be, it should done in a way that is not rude or meant to put a fellow member down. This way, your not stuck in a rut where the only people in the chatroom or the feed your sharing are constantly posting while no one is their to read. The comments concerning the article should always be made on Steemit, while comments concerning the G+ community should be made there.

Further, whales will get a daily #invitation to join the community, but only with the intentions of actually reading minnow articles and at the the very least give #constructivecriticism by commenting. The daily invite on Steemit to whales will have the tag of #helpfulwhale and all link #promotion posts in the Google Plus community will also be tagged with #helpfulwhales.

The fact that a lot of comments made to minnows on Steem are just a generic "way-to-go" is not helping minnows improve or level up. There can still be a positive atmosphere along with honest, helpful criticism to encourage more conversation in the comment section of Steemit articles by newer Steemians.

Remember, this wont work if people aren't making the commitment to contribute and actually acting on it. However, I know the world is filled with more people with good intentions than bad, so I'm banking on seeing something good come out of this. Thanks, and steem-on Steemians!
