Minnow Support Project
"Give a minnow an upvote and they'll eat for a day. Give a minnow a resteem and they'll eat forever."
Ancient Steemit Proverb
Hello Minnows!
I recently hit 1,100 followers and broke into the top 110 authors on Steemit. It had a lot to do with @kaylinart and @fyrstikken resteeming one of my posts.
it got me thinking...
What if I could help my followers like @kaylinart and @fyrstikken helped me!?! It's pretty easy to do. All I have to do is resteem my followers! What if I could get them a reward too!?! And the Minnow Support Project was born!
What are the rules?
For every 100 upvotes I'll resteem a follower's post
To be able to get a resteem simply link your post (or a referral if you want) in the comments section. Make sure there are at least 3 days left on the post rewards because I'm not going to resteem until Thursday.
The first resteem is the post that gets the most upvotes.
The second resteem is the post I think is best based on a criteria of promoting Peace, Abundance, and Liberty.
Third and up are based on upvotes as well.
Getting upvoted by bots doesn't count.
Winners will get all liquid post rewards from this contest!
What counts as a minnow?
If you have less than 500 followers and have earned less than 5,000SP at the time you post then you're a minnow that's eligible for the resteem and the reward!

@aggroed, I'm glad to see that this project has been so successful.
Here's my entry - a tour of a nomadic community in London that provide a safe, peaceful and creative space for people to enjoy.
Hey! I think this is a great idea. For people like me who have recently started sharing their ideas and content, this is a great motivation booster.
Here's one of my most recognised posts I uploaded a few days ago, where I share my thoughts on why Diablo II was one of the best games ever created.

Very good project. It is really not that easy as minnow here.
https://steemit.com/steempearls/@blackwidow7/steempearls-8
Awesome idea! This means that I'm a minnow lol, but it's ok! Posts like this are what make me really love this community. Thank you! I don't have many blog posts yet, but I'll put one of mine in the running. It's a short poem about seeing things from a different perspective after recovering from something . . in my case it was substance abuse.

Thank you for helping us minnows! I would like to submit my article for consideration - I am running a Steemit t-shirt fundraiser to support my 100% Steem powered homestead project!

upvoted,, commented, resteemed,, God knows what else i did, i tried everything with this post..lol
Thank you @aggroed, I am trying again. I appreciate the help you want to give new people to steemit. I hope I can figure it all out. Here is my introduction. https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@sarkhomestead/southern-ark-homestead-is-now-on-steemit
This project is great! Thank you for sharing
https://steemit.com/christian-trail/@jraysteem/it-is-more-blessed-to-give-than-to-receive
I'm so sorry this is coming this late. I actually thought I had sent a letter of appreciation, please pardon me.
Thank you so much for the gift, i really appreciate it. Its really nice of @aggroed and other sponsors to organise projects like this to encourage we minnows.
Once again I'm sorry for the late response and thank you so much for the mention and gift.
Steem on!
Steemit is beautiful.
Hi everyone, New MINNOW here! Just wanted to share my post.
Its a long story about how My wife and I trusted a old highschool friend, and it ended up ruining our life for a bit! :( Please SUPPORT!
https://steemit.com/life/@justcallmemyth/the-time-my-family-got-catfished-were-still-trying-to-recover
I made a post on the power of ambassadors. I love the community, everybody gives a lot. I think this should be promoted as all social media i know, people have a lot of distance between them. On Steemit you immediately feel closer to your fellow Steemians, and we have to get that out to the world.
enjoy!
https://steemit.com/steemit/@gindor/the-power-of-ambassadors
The badges look great @aggroed! I'm happy to see the success of the Minnow Support Project, your blog and following, and your run for Witness! Thanks for all you do for the Steemit Community and us little fish.
I'll enter again: https://steemit.com/silver/@jdawg/the-most-under-valued-asset-in-the-world
You can wear your badge bud. Keep that in the trailer on your posts! Glad to have you with us still.
Thank you my friend! I will do that.
You're awesome for doing this bro. What a great initiative indeed! Here's my link for the entry - in 3 days it'll be my 6 month anniversary for getting clean, and I wanted to go Skydiving - trying to raise $300 to do so.
Now if I also hit that $300 mark, as a way to pay it forward I'm going to DONATE a website build to an up and coming Steemit member that's an entrepreneur or needs a website for their business - free of charge (i normally charge $1000+ through my business for this).
Anything raised over the $300 will go towards buying a cheap action cam here in Thailand, where I'm currently living - I'd love to film and share my first jump with the community! I can get one from the street vendors in Bangkok w/ SD card for around $100 USD :D
I hope i win a resteem! A couple of good ones and honestly I could easily hit my goal - that would be the most incredible gift on a pretty special day for me, as my sobriety has been a HUGE deal. Heroin nearly killed me back in December...
Anyway, keep up the amazing work brother. <3

i think you you will like my post because you are into Peace Abundance Liberty and that is my field of endeavour also. for quite a few years now. i want to continue my ongoing work for freedom peace village communities and i know there will be steemians out there who would like to work in the same field and then continue and expand on and develop and fork this work as i grow older.
please spread this post far and wide to introduce me and my work.

That's a great way of giving back. Thank you @aggroed! This is my latest post that I could use some help with. It's about the different views on the upcoming financial crisis and how we can help the people who don't see it coming, get in to crypto currencies.

Thanks for your consideration
Very good project. Thank you for your generosity!
This is so awesome! Nice of you to help minnows! Here is one of my blogs: https://steemit.com/photography/@rockchickjen/my-newest-boho-photoshoot
Good luck everyone!
I think this is a great idea and I'm ALL for it!
I'd like to enter my introduction post so I can inspire people with my story as well as show an example of how an introduceyourself post could look like! https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@blaisep/hello-steemit-my-name-is-blaise
Hi @aggroed, awesome initiative! I started with writing blogs about investing and cryptocurrencies, without any plagiarism of course. I'm currently putting a lot of afford in writing blogs and it would be awesome if you could help me promote it. Because I think they don't get the attention that they can have haha. I'm resteeming your post for my brothers with the same problem ;)
Feel free to read it and share thoughts!

congrats on the success @aggroed, thanks for the mention!
A very noble undertaking of you, @aggroed , to help us newbies getting a foot in the door of Steemit. Because, as its said in the movie "Dune" - "The beginning is a very delicate time." :)
So here are my suggestions, please pick which ever you like better.
This one is sort of "text heavy":

Thank you in advance for your efforts!
I just started Pixel Art Weekly, a weekly pixel art contest that runs from Mon to Friday, with Sat & Sun open to voting.
It may be to late to get in on this, in which case I'll try again next week. However, if it's not too late...this week, as of writing this, there is only a single contestant and she also happens to be a brand new member. It would be awesome to get some flow on this post to jack up her prize...it would be one amazing "Welcome to Steemit"
I hope you consider sharing....

Sorry....I found three different posts about this so I replied to each one.... Wasn't sure which one I was supposed to comment on.
nice gesture. great idea, plus it will not cost a minnow a penny.
Nope, just a moment to share a post they wrote.

Very interesting way to promote yourself. Great job.
