Today I want to do 2 things with my post. I want to make it simple so people will pay attention (so ask any questions in the comments if I was too simple)
I want to bring some attention to the #newbieresteemday Logo contest CLICK HERE TO SEE IT. I am going to review all of the submissions and be upvoting the ones that I believe are good. I think it is important for us to recognize the artists that have taken their time and done some amazing work. (see logos and links below)
I'm also going to be using a "post-booster" upvoting service @smartmarket to give their posts some decent upvotes because my ($0.01 vote won't mean too much lol). I'm trying @smartmarket because they are currently giving about 2.2x upvote on my investment and they will create a bit of excitement as they hit the submissions with their upvotes. Please note that if you want to upvote a logo entry that you like with this service, you must go to author's "original post" directly and upvote it. You can't upvote a "comment" with a "post-booster" service. Its easy to do, but I wanted to clarify.
I'm telling you this because if you too want to reward a particular post and don't have any "upvote punch like me", then you can just go to smartsteem.com and click on the "Buy Votes" section and input the amount of SBD you want to submit and the link. Easy and simple!
Note: I'm doing 0.10 SBD on every one I like which should be around $0.22 in upvote (much higher than my measley 0.01 lol) If I like all eleven then it will cost me a total of $1.10 SBD, to me that's worth it to send a smile :)
Note: For more explanation on how to use "post-boosters" you can click a great article I read from @eonwarped (Post Boosters That Guarantee Returns)
Note: I also encountered another great article from @smartsteem (@smartmarket's big brother) that is also a very good read (IMPORTANT: STEEM PRICE IS INTERNALLY HIGHER THAN ON EXCHANGES - VOTES WILL LOSE VALUE IN THE COMING DAYS)
Here are the logo entries I've been able to find that were tagged to #newbieresteemday

If you keep making great posts like this your upvote will soon be worth more than .01! Keep up the good work.
Thank you very very much @bbrewer... I value your opinion more than you realize. It is a nice thing to see when you support something we are doing, because it gives us confidence and reassurance that we are on the right path! One day I'm going to be broadening the circle to find out how we can get more @bbrewer's to participate and help the newbies. I understand how to work with my generation of steemian, but not sure how best to approach the guys that are my senior. If you have any ideas, please let me know because I know we succeed faster when we broaden our reach. Take care and thanks again for the recognition
I think if you keep doing what you are doing the path will be revealed one step further one day at a time.
My favorite has to be the one by Roldam where they actually used the fish like that!
I agree with you. It's the cleanest and yet conveys the message. I would prefer, though, if the words, "Newbie Resteem Day could be inside the partial circle made by the fish, rather below or out to the side. Probably means making the font smaller, which might make it hard to read if the logo shrinks much.
I listen to you Glen, you always take the time to come up with a good solution. I can count on you to get an honest and thoughtful opinion. (And sometimes a funny comment too) :)
I have consider your input on the revision sir, and it looks great :) thanks for the positive inputs and support. :)
make sure you add that to your submission... I think the deadline is coming soon
sure sir? how can i add it sir? should i add this to the sub comment section where i submitted my entry? thanks in advance :)
put it in the comment section of the original post to make sure it is seen... Here is the link (and just copy your pic and paste it in and say you would also like that to be considered too:

And we are teammates roldamn... so call me Dave :)
Thanks dave :) done putting it to the submission comment section :) wish me luck :)
I like it a lot too and I also like the others a lot too... I guess I'm not going to be much help in deciding the winner ;) lol
My vote is currently $0.00 until I recharge, so I can't give you that, but I can let you know about @earthnation-bot. I've been using them on some of my posts. They're for minnows (and red fish) only. They give a $0.25 upvote for 0.05 SBD. Thought it might be useful if you're giving out a bunch of paid boosts. Hope that help!
its ok on giving me an upvote my friend who I don't know his name ;) ... And yes I love @earthnation-bot and use them every day for my own older posts to get a return so I can build my account. The reason I highlighted this bot was because while it is a lower return of only 2.2x (note: I always try for 3x or above), it does have 2 other features that make it useful in this situation. One is they get lots of upvotes (lots of quantity because it has many pooled together. And the second is that I can do them quickly and send in as many as I need to with no limits. With the ones I use for my own account @bumper, @lili-genie-wish and @earthnation-bot I am limited to between 1 and 3 submissions a day. So a "post-booster" is designed to send many more and does it without worrying about what the final vote can be. I do agree though that normally when you have time and patience you should be able to find the 3x returns or better and settling for less should have a higher purpose (in my case getting them some attention today)...
One more thing... I'm slowly learning about how these upvotes move and what causes them to do so and I was given this handy little calculator that you might find useful too. https://steemnow.com/upvotecalc.html let me know if you figure out exactly how it works before I can get to it. :)
Well, like you I enjoy showing appreciation to people who are doing good work, are trying hard, or I just like and want to help them on their journey. I'm looking forward to getting to 500SP so I'll have the slider and even if I can't give a 100%, I'll be able to at least acknowledge people. I think that's important.
Great information on the smartmarket. I forgot that you can only use the other services a few times per day.
I noticed ;) ... keep it up, we are connecting with some cool people of many different generations... Have you surfed our feed lately??? I'm blown away
https://steemit.com/created/newbieresteemday
pretty soon we're going to need our own curator for the feed there's so many thing coming in I feel like I'm missing them lol
I looked into the calculator and decided to make a quick post on how to use it (and the other tols that help make it work). Posted here https://steemit.com/steemit/@themanwithnoname/upvote-calculator.
Thanks, Dave!
see that's what I'm talking about... I can't keep up ;)
Good job, keep spreading the info even though we don't get lots of money from the posts, the information is building our knowledge... At some point we have to explain how to not "over-vote" the bots on the exchange to our people... I see a few making that mistake but its complicated to explain and I have my hands full...
But considering the amount of people "over-bidding" its a topic that should have some interest.
Thanks again for everything "the man I don't know his name" :)
@davemccoy thanks for highlighting my entry :) Thanks for all those who support my design. Good luck to all! :)
You are welcome... I'm sorry that it took me so long to get back to this post. You did a wonderful thing and a great job. I appreciate everyone that submitted the logos, we all owe you one! I hope you keep being a part of the movement because we need quality people like you here to help!
Fantastic post friend
Thank you aligaby89... I appreciate it, even if my reply is a little late ;)
Sorry to spam ya dave but this is very useful post I made on something I just learned a little while ago, It will help us redfish extend our vote, it is a little cumbersome, but it does give you a vote slider, just like being a minnow or dolphin or whale, you can adjust the percentage and spread your votes out over more than 10-15 votes a day before needing to recharge.
you aren't spamming me ever @bashadow... and see what happens when I'm so late, I already got this message from another post! I'm very glad you told me about it, its perfect for my next phase! So thanks again and appreciate everything you do! :)
Thank you so much @davemccoy for displaying my post here. And Thank you to the people who support my work.
May the best entry be chosen to represent this amazing initiative.
You are welcome @krishnendukj... I love your work and have seen many of your posts. I will always try to help you here with the things I know, because I think you have a gift and I like the way you present yourself. But as for thanking me, it is me that is thanking you. You took your time and did something for me, and I will always be grateful to you for it!
I see you around a lot so I hope we stay connected and I also hope you continue to be a member of the #newbieresteemday initiative. You are going to be big here one day, and you can help a lot of people on the way!
Thank you so much and you are welcome :)
I like your post here about the logos entry.
Thank you very much @bumagoo! I like that you came by and told me... That is how to get yourself noticed, just jump right in and give your opinion! Now I am connected to you! See it is that easy ;)

It is me that thanks you @joshuaattat... I was truly honored and appreciative of what you all did. I had no idea how talented you guys are.
