Okay minnows...Do you feel frustrated like you've put in time and energy writing blogs that you are proud of ....but yet you are lucky if you made a few cents? Do you feel that you are out there following a bunch of people and they are all not following you back? Do you feel like your rep is just never going up or not fast enough? Well let's discuss this and break it down :)
Okay I am also a minnow here almost two months...so I have had the same frustrations...BUT... here is the deal...most of us were brought here by a friend or family member with illusions of immediately getting rich....No!
Nothing is for free. Everything requires work..time..energy and passion. And based on all other social medias out there it seems everybody wants to share something ...a story...sadness...photos from you last great get-a-away...your artistic talents etc. So we are all agreed that Steemit is the place to do it because if you can make any money then bonus!! So before you give up ..keep reading.
Having fun and meeting new people from all over the world and learning new things should be number one..well and of course having the desire and passion for blogging and sharing because in the end the quality and value of what you blog as well as the relationships you have made here in steemitland will determine your outcome....but wait there is hope ..a foot in the door...a light at the end of the tunnel...
#minnowsfaucet! Now don't get me wrong there are other good communities out there...I just am here to bring awareness to #minnowsfaucet. ..but the concept of all the communities are the same :)
When you join one of these smaller communities within the big steemit community...it doesn't feel so overwhelming.
You see... you can follow all of the people want but it doesn't mean they will follow you back...that is one of the benefits of these communities. So lets talk about #minnowsfaucet
and @nicnicy ...here is how it works and how it benefits you and others in the community.
#minnowsfaucet is real SIMPLE! STEP #1 You go to @nicnicy page Daily and follow all of HIS followers...and in return everyone who does this follows you. (Benefit. ..you start to build a following) STEP #2 in the V.I.P for DAILY ACTIVE members once a day you post one NEW ACTIVE blog that you feel proud of and feel it wasn't seen or appreciated...and as a member you and everybody else will read it ..upvote it..comment on it....and possibly resteem it . (Benefit...if everyone who is active followed this that would be hundreds of people doing this and if you got enough upvotes you might not only make a buck or two but stay on the feed longer then a blip...also this helps you gain more rep ..also benefit of commenting is communication...most comments lead to conversations and here is where you build relationships..also people can offer friendly advice on a variety of issues you might have ) So I strongly believe in #minnowsfaucet and think you should give a try...you have nothing to lose only gain :)
But on a closing note whether you join #minnowsfaucet or The Minnow Project.. @minnowsupport or any other community...it's only a foot in the door...you still have to work...go on your feed and curate..upvote..comment and converse with not ONLY your followers..but new people as well...add new people along the way...DO this every day... The more followers you have the less you will see..so try things like
#1 curate at least 15 to 20 on your feed in addition to 5 to 10 under New.
#2 go and look at who is upvoting you and check out their page and posts. ..upvote and comment .
#3 go to your followers list randomly choose 5 to 10 people to check out their page and posts to upvote and comment as well
Like I said in the beginning of this post NOTHING IS FOR FREE. YOU determine your success :) :)
And also a side note..THESE SMALLER COMMUNTIES ARE FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS FOREVER....THEY ARE A GREAT HELP IN THE BEGINNING AND THROUGHOUT...STAY LOYAL...THEY ARE NOT A STEPPING STONE!!
SO COME ON JOIN #MINNOWSFAUCET! ! VISIT @nicnicy !! STEEM ON!! Much Love from Vegas!!
Thank you @searnold @rizkiandrian @minnowsfaucet and any others that I haven't seen yet for resteeming :) :)

Nice post @kayleigh-alesta. I hadn't heard of minnowfaucet before, will check it out. You may have noticed I upvoted your post with the (@)originalworks bot - just leave a comment on any post with the bot name as I did and the bot will determine if the post is original content or not - if it is original content the bot will give you an upvote and a comment saying it is original content. This is nice to do on your own original posts of course but it is also a REALLY easy way to give extra upvotes and exposure to other Steemit authors who are posting original content. Give it a whirl and pass it on :) Cheers - Carl

nice :-)
Thank You :) :)
just resteemed u and upvoted u now, my power is low yet, but I am increasing everyday :-)
Thank you very much for upvoting and resteeming :) :) !!
Resteemed to help my followers! I love #minnowsfaucet! Making progress slowly but surely! Thanks for posting this!
Thank you for resteeming and helping spread the word...I love #minnowsfaucet too :) :)
everyday Im increasing my power from scratch, so one day we get there. Keep upvoting good content and making good coments that show that you read the post, is a good way to earn some small amounts daily. :-) Also use the tools that steemit provide to track good content with potential grow. Good Luck just resteemed a nice post from your meeting and did a comment, keep doing the good work!
Thanks so much! I haven't been making as many posts lately, but have been active in comments, voting and resteeming. Sometimes I am at a loss for words and my comments may seem like spam. I do try to say more than just good post, etc.
Oh I understand I haven't really posted anything ...almost finished moving but I have alot on my plate with taking care of my grandma too...I always want to answer everybody but sometimes I just am not sure what to say ...so some of my responses look like spam but they aren't meant that way :) :) hey we are human ..right :) :)
Thank you for your feedback and resteeming :) :)
why not simply upvote undevalued minnow posts..?
It's alot more then just upvoting ...it's a give and recieve kinda thing ...everyone benefits..and I also said in the post. ..that you still have to put in time for your followers and curating etc. I love the this community. ..but the choice is always yours...I'm trying to spread the word and help grow the community...definitely not force it on anybody :) :)
Of course what you are doing is good for the community
but
for minnows and new users like me..its too much of a thing to grab every other day..
how many projects can I take part in and how many can I remember..?
Sorry, since I am a minimalist photographer... I kinda prefer simplicity in everything.
As a User, my expectation is that Good Content gets upvoted on its own Merit.
.. or else something is wrong with the Site.. (just a view)
I see and understand your point...steemit in itself is a community. .we are just small communities within...again there is no need...its an option. ..that people can choose for extra support...and as I said we also curate ..upvote..comment etc from our feed and new as well...so we ...
like everybody else are upvoting based on merit ..that is what Steemit is about for sure :) :) I understand your need for simplicity. ..and that's okay ..steem on :) :) we will still see your posts in the feed and support you :) :)
well
thank you
I will too see what you do... followed you for the same
I would love to upvote who you try to promote.
good day
Thank You for following. ..and you have a very nice day too :) :)
Glad you got my point about "The need for Simplicity"
and Thank you for your support and encouragement. :)
Of course...I will always be here for support and encouragement :) :)
good question, when the undervalued minnow post is a good content yes, it is worth it! Im trying to do that, but the ideal way is to keep your power vote above 80% daily, and upvote 4 or 5 good undervalued content with 5% power to be worth it (Because 20% of your power backs every 24 hours). Well, Im newbie here, just my newbie view yet.
Thats the whole thing..
If I focus my attention to the Technicalities...
Where is my Free Mind to Click Good Photos and Write Quality Content with it.?
The Platform has to be Simple
sure, I agree, find 4 to 5 good undervalued content everyday, upvote and most important make a good comment that show u read it! do this using your 5% steempower and thats it, focus on your work photos. :-) Think upvote 4 posts and make 4 comments is not complex :-)
I am at 4300 posts (post + comments) in 5 months already.. :)
nice mate, thats a lot , I resteemed one post from you today earlier, Im 370 posts + comments in a week, think is a lot too. Im planing invest in steempower my money, but Im learning from steemit tools yet. Think steem has a bright future, but as an investor I always have to spread my investments to minimize the risks. Success :-)
370 X 4 x 5 = 7400
so you will be at 7400 comments in 5 months at this rate.. thats quite a lot
haha....
yes Steem and Steemit seems to have a bright future :)
Good luck with your investment.
Followed You... I will want to see more of what you resteem
Thanks for the tips and encouragement I will check out that account!
You're very welcome...please do :) :)
Great post @kayleigh-alesta! Very helpful and encouraging! Upvoted definitely!
Thank You very much @jazzybells :) :)
Love the idea behind this community. It's kinda weird too, bit i enjoy going through @nicnicy's followers list and finding new people to follow. I've been here 2 months and have almost 500 followers from just a few blogs, I'm sure #minnowsfaucet has been a big help in that. Now I just gotta start posting more frequently.
I hear you I've been here two months and haven't blogged anything serious except maybe four times because I'm in the middle of a huge move..But come September 1st ..I'm going full throttle lol ...congratulations on getting 500 followers...:):)
Hahaha almost 500 - currently at 498. Thanks though. Hopefully get to 500 today :)
It's close enough :) :)

Hey Kayleigh-alesta, do you mind if I copy some of this and post it as well? Maybe together we'll get more people. I'll reference you at the top. I won't use the teddy bear or your signature of course!
Of course :) :)
Thanks!
You're very welcome :) :) you did a great job...and helped the community more by spreading the word :) :)

Hey where is this V.I.P for DAILY ACTIVE members? I didn't know about that until I read your post! Can I post a blog post there?
Yes it's on @nicnicy page can't miss it :) :) just make sure to be an active member by following all of @nicnicy followers.. :) :)
Got it. Can't believe I missed that!
It may just be me, but I don't quite understand step 2:
What is the V.I.P. for Daily Active members? And is the New Active blog one you write yourself or one you resteem?
On @nicnicy page there is a big picture every week that says V.I.P. that you can post a blog that YOU have written ...to have other members upvote ..comment and resteem if they like it :) :) As long as you check out ...upvote ..comment or resteem if you like and follow @nicnicy followers daily and in return all the members follow you :) :) I hope I was able to clear up any confusion.. kayleigh
Allright, thanks. Now I understand, I got confused because he also has a big VIP sign in his profile picture.
Also I consider everything we put here a post or article, not so much a page ;-), it's just what you call the beast.
Have added everyone on my followed list (except the ones that are dead followers).

@kayleigh-alesta Thanks for sharing. I am new to the community but very happy that I joined as I see efforts of support between members. Steemit can be overwhelming and even disheartening sometimes for new users. I embarked on a mission to help minnows by sharing the SBD I gain from votes. I look at the numbers I am making and feel very discouraged, as I feel I am not helping at all. Neither I have the power/money, nor I am making any progress. I guess I was hoping that a whale or a dolphin will notice these efforts and participate with a vote from time to time to increase the income that I can share. Having a community to support is a wonderful way to make us continue our aspirations despite the difficulties. Truly many thanks to @nicnicy, you and everyone @minnowsfaucet. Love :)
Hi @theleapingkoala...it's okay we have all felt that way but after being here my first month I realized it's not about the money...it is about showing people who YOU are...what are your talents..thoughts ..ideas..personality :) :) you make real relationships...you check in on one another...you put your best foot forward in your writing or art or music or whatever you are showing the world. The quality of what you share...the people that you make friendships with will pay attention and honestly ...I've seen it myself when people make money...minnows or dolphins I mean...is random...and it's a high and exciting but never expect it ...enjoy steemit for friends and social factors ..if you make some money later then BONUS:) :) you're gonna be alright my friend we will grow together...You are NOT alone :) :)
Thank you my dear for your sweet words and support. Indeed, I don't feel alone anymore :D
GOOD ..because we are all in it together:) :) And you are very welcome :) :)
Ta matey. Ever helpful as always. :)
