In the last 11 Days we have witnessed together an amazing effort by so many wonderful people with big hearts. Frankly it is growing so fast that I have found it hard to keep up with all the initiatives going on. And @mudcat36 hasn't even revealed anything publicly about what he is working on. From @goldendawne's "Dear Dawne" mentoring program (Here) to @deliberator's and @danielsaori's contests GIVING away free money (Here) and (Here) (REMINDER last chance to get in is today btw) we have had a whirlwind of activity.
I'm not going to list everything happening, but I would like to say that you should go to these other blogs and discover some amazing things that are happening to make our community stronger every day @amariespeaks @themanwithnoname @royaleagle @bashadow @randomwanderings. And frankly this is just from the last 2 days. It is both amazing and hard to keep up with at the same time. And on top of that keeping up with the great people doing "re-steeming" "coordinating" "cheerleading" "teaching" and so many other functions, has put us in a position that we needed a solution to get this information out.
@beeyou Found The Perfect Solution
As has happened often in the last 11 days, we have found that we have many talented people with great ideas. And while these ideas are terrific on their own, even better is they also come with the people willing to execute their plan. Its a community that grows by everyone "pitching in"... and selflessly at that :)
One such teammate of ours had a post last night that was the perfect solution to our information glut. Note: its a good problem to have, but a problem to deal with nonetheless. @beeyou made a post announcing she was going to start the Weekly Recap for #newbieresteemday (Click Here for a must read post!).
I don't think she even realized how powerful this new development will be. It is so great because it will do the following things:
It will make it easy for people to "catch up" on what is happening and make sure our members don't miss anything.
More ease, more retention. Its a fact I learned long ago ;)It will lead to even MORE programs being developed knowing that someone will be scrolling through the #newbieresteemday tag for pertinent news. (note: think of the newbies that have ideas or posts to help their friends that will now have a way to get their message out)
It will provide more power to EVERY initiative we have going. Like our contests, our mentoring sessons, our teaching tools, or our achievements (think @randomwanderings, @krishnendukj and @katrina-ariel)
And most importantly, it will provide $SBD and upvotes to our members and our overall initiative because @beeyou will be donating the SBD BACK to you. In other words, she only keeps the small amount of SP that is earned from this project, and she gives the lion's share back to us. 1/2 will go to directly supporting the members' games, contests, and intiatives; and the other half will come back to @mudcat and me to continue to provide support to grow our platform.
The 5th Reason Why This Is Great
Each of these points are awesome on their own and I highly recommend you let them sink in because I'm telling you right now it is bigger than most will realize on the surface. With this one simple and selfless action trying to just "do her small part" to make it easier for everyone, @beeyou has now put herself in the position of becoming very powerful in her own right. (note: to prove my point she was a 37 Reputation with 67 followers and 27 SP. Write these numbers down and see where she is in 30 days from now)
The 5th reason that her idea is so great is that she, like @randomwanderings 2 days ago, is poised to radically increase her power and influence. By doing what she did, on her own and with a pure heart, she will now become a role-model that can lead many others and show them success is possible if you do the right things. I am very excited to see this point play out. It will encourage and motivate so many others to also find their way to help that "suits" them. It will also prove the point that working together will lead to us all to being stronger and happier within our community here.
Actions To Take If You Undertand And Agree
The Weekly Recap for #newbieresteemday - (link to the article is here)
#First, you can upvote the "Weekly Recap" post
#Second, you can resteem the "Weekly Recap" post
#Third, you can support it via "upvote post boosters" to get the attention up and the payout up too.
Note: I upvoted her by using 2 SBDs on bid bots. (the money will come back to us anyways). If you don't know how to use bid bots or upvote post boosters yet, and would like to contribute of as low as $0.02 SBD to the upvote you can contact either me, @royaleagle or @cryptkeeper17 and we can either help you do it yourself or we can do it for you if you send us your SBD.
***2nd Note: I will contribute all SBDs earned from this post to upvoting the "Weekly Recap for #newbieresteemday". This is in addition to the 2 SBDs I did already. So the higher the upvotes for my post goes, the higher the upvotes for the "Weekly Recap for #newbieresteemday" goes. (hint: Its called a virtuous loop) ;)
Remember that ALL of the SBD will go back to the members, so using your upvotes or buying her some post-boosters will only go back to the community and thus eventually back to you. It takes a second for this to sink in, but when you see it in action, you will want to make the "Weekly Recap for #newbieresteemday" one of the biggest upvoted posts on steemit. It helps the members and of course it helps the newbies, and together or platform to help has just gotten that much stronger.
On behalf of @mudcat36 and myself I want to thank everyone who has been involved with this wonderful project. You have blown away our initial expectations, and just think, we are only 11 days old. What an amazing group of selfless, intelligent, and hard-working people we are. And also I must mention we are also quite fun too ;)
As always be humble and...

Awesome! Several developments happening in just a matter of weeks. You're a great leader and mover @davemccoy!
I saw the Minnow Mondays by @amariespeaks and would like to do the same being a "talent scout". Can we also do the same but on a different day like Minnow Saturday or Sunday? Coz Monday is really busy at work and maybe this can make it visible in the entire week. And can I take it from the resteemed newbies by other resteemers as I might not be able to resteem as much ( I have told you about someone telling me I resteem too much hehe)?
Sorry lots of questions :)
@wanderlass you can do any variations you like. Everyone is encouraged to set their own rules and name it their own name. The goal is that we work together, but it should be tailored to your needs and ideas too. I know you want to help @amariespeaks and I also know she would help you. So it isn't competition, it is cooperation. So play around with whatever idea you want and you can name it anything you like (it might just stick too) ;)
Here's "my" suggestion for you but just to give you ideas... "Wanderlass Weeky - New Minnows Discovered!" and then you can make your own rules ;) ... And by the way, I'm sure whatever you name it, you can also get a logo for it... If you aren't good at logos, then I'm sure there are very many in our community that would like to help you)
I hope this helps!
Thank you for this great idea @davemccoy! And @amariespeaks has so generously offered her time and help :)
Always my pleasure @wanderlass... and I hope the wedding was fun!
(I didn't hear from you all day so I thought maybe it was yours and you and your lover eloped) ;)
I ignored Steemit, my lover, the whole day coz the wedding demanded a lot of time. Being maid of honor is a lot of work and was there from morning until midnight. @_@ But it was fun because my high school friends who I rarely see were there. :)
steemit was a little lonelier today because you left him... but its ok at least "you" had fun... Poor steemit... I hope he gets over being alone all day ;)
ps.. seriously glad you had fun and I'm excited to see what you come up with. You got style @wanderlass :)
@wanderlass aything I can do to help you out feel free to find me on discord amariespeaks#9425 maybe we can share newbie post ideas, blogs to highlight or whatever. just let me know :)
Thank you very much @amariespeaks! I really appreciate your help offer. I will send you a message in discord :)
This is great information, I will go and check out newbiesteemday and follow @beeyou. I AM Inspired
Awesome @charisma1 :) ... That's the goal to, lets work together and keep coming up with good ideas and follow each other and learn and grow!
Absolutely! :D
Useful postings. I like it.
thank you very much @musri.photo. I appreciate you commenting and just that one little thing means we are connected now ;) Stay in touch!
I hope so. Hopefully we stay connected and help each other and support each other. Thanks
I agree... That's how we get bigger... "together"! We have a lot of games that will be happening this week for people to get to know each other. Not only do I recommend that you play them, I also think you could host one... see my latest post to see how... its easy!!
Ok Mr. @davemccoy I will follow it. I am very supportive with your idea. Thank you very much.
cool @musri-photo ... here is my update of the games so that you can go play one or all 12 of them. Everyone of them will help you earn a little, plus you never know you could win one a win a lot!!!

Great words @davemccoy, it will definitey encourage new steemians to work hard, to be creative and be more helpful.
I will again say that knoweldge is like a glass full of water, if want to add more water than you will have to pour it out. The more you share the more you get.
I like that @hiverpro.. I have heard many sayings over my life and I don't think I've heard that one (but maybe I'm getting to old to remember lol) ... Seriously it is true and I'm glad you see it. I don't remember if I have officially drafted you to be a member here, but if I haven't ... I would welcome you to join us and help based on what suits you best! We need good people and I can tell you are one of them!
I can't believe I went through all this, while on a normal day I won't be able to read half of it. Well thanks for sharing such amazing information and for the large heart one's keep the good work going. Thanks.
lol @drayhazz... that's funny... and I completely understand too... I try to write in little bits of information, but this one kinda got away ;)
I think it was because it will be a message that will be learned by many very subtly... It will go into their minds and sit there until one day you see just how big @beeyou gets and say ahhh hhaa .. I remember when that all started. It was one thing, but it was done with the right motivation, the right solution, and with perfect timing.
I hope it inspires others to realize that they too can contribute in way they didn't even realize themselves. And yes, even though you don't like to read a lot, there is something I'm sure that suits you that you can help both others and yourself in the process. Keep your eyes open and I promise my future posts won't be as long (at least not all of them) ;)
Good stuff, @davemccoy! Looking forward to @beeyou's recaps. Should make it a lot easier to keep track of everything that's happened. :)
yes me too... and i think I saw you say that you were going to connect to me in discord and give me your name.. But hopefully I didn't dream it..lol I do think it was on one of the posts we share friends with (pretty much all of them) and then I got distracted by something else. If you aren't familiar with discord, go to this link and sign up... you can still use your themanwithnoname as your name there too (in fact i recommend it so people know who you are bc you are famous lol
https://discord.gg/RSD88W
if you get there then add me as a friend my name there is davemccoy#2479 ... some fun stuff coming next week!
Added you too @davemccoy :)
don't forget you have your own discord channel now brother.
https://discord.gg/bn2wae (newbieresteem)
Uh oh. @mudcat asked me to make one too. :/
We'll get it sorted out. :)
Everyone please join the Newbie Resteem Initiative discord channel here:
https://discord.gg/xcekaZU
This is spot for newbs to ask questions, look for contests, and post links for resteeming. :)
And this is exactly why I said at the start it was needed, to avoid confusion like this, with real time interaction, oh well, it is what it is.
It looks like the invite has expired on yours. Jump into mine and we can all get on the same page. :)
You all carry on, honestly I have way too much on my plate right now, I have a sick daughter and a sick wife, so do as you wish. Family first for me, no offence.
But of course! Family first.
Let's talk when you can. Get those ladies healed.:)
excellent write up. and her idea is great. You are resteemed!
You have been resteemed as part of #newbieresteemday ... I made today my #newbieresteemday, and invite you and others to do the same. To learn more: Come Join Us!!! (Newbie Resteem Initiative)
thanks my man! Love the new tag-lifter icon... looks cool
You got a 16.67% upvote from @steembloggers courtesy of @davemccoy!
Let me just say... I really enjoyed sharing some of my knowledge with the members you brought to the proverbial table.
Having some guidance and Q&A can really help when you feel lost and unsure of what to do next.
Looking forward to next week's post and session!
That terrific to hear, and yes I think it is great that they want to learn (and you can really help them). I'm looking forward to next week too and for anyone reading this, Episode 2 should be out early next week so keep your eyes open
This is AMAZING! Checking out her post and following her right away!
You're awesome KJ! I think you will really like @beeyou and of course I think she will also like you too!
This is why I'm following @davemccoy. You've been great to the steemians and obviously, your initiatives for the newbies are amazingly impressive. Good thing when I joined steemit a week ago, your #newbieresteemday is running. It helps me to stand and my head was noticed. My respect is yours @davemccoy . Thank you!
awesome @leebaong.. I knew you were going to be a good one from the moment I saw your first post. I'm glad we connected to and I think it will be a very long friendship!
Its a big YES! Im your big fan of your initiatives @davemccoy.
Awesome, same here!
Great post @davemccoy it’s great to have so many people willing to help those New to Steemit and to make it easier to find places to increase our rewards. And of course to make it easier to hang in there when we are so new. Cheers Dave
Thank you @markkennard... and thank you for participating so fast in things. I really did like the logo you made and sorry that I was unclear. I appreciated the effort and frankly it is a great design. I don't know if you are going to re-enter another updated one, but I do really like your skills. I've got lots of new projects coming that I know I need help with, and I want you as my teammate. You "get it" and when I find someone that does, then I certainly hope to work with them side by side for a long time!
Thanks for the good words here too! Cheers to you!
Thanks Dave and if you need some help with a project don’t hesitate to ask
As always dave. You guys doing a great job! I want to help after this busy school works
no worries, I know you will. This isn't a short term thing, we are helping to build a network of people that work together because they want to help others!
I will try to put together a tutorial in the next week on the best way to approach the bid bots and how to use non-bid bots. In the mean time feel free to check out #RoyalBotReview on some of the bid bots or ask me any questions in the newbieresteem room on discord.
You got it Royal.. I will do.. I had to catch up on my replies I got way behind again... doing all these things isn't easy.. but it is fun! So I'll take hard and fun over easy and boring anytime! Also way to make a niche for yourself, I think you are going to be a star out there on this alone!
its official now... watch it build and grow from here (with a little work of course) ;)
superb
Thank you very much @towfiqhasan... that is short but I sense you mean it! :)
ps... you have a reputation hit, I don't know what you did wrong, but if you want to fix it I'll be happy to help you.
Good work sir great efforts .thanks for sharing sir
thank you for saying that Annie, but I'm upset with you again... You said since we were teammates you were going to call me Dave! lol... its ok, but it is better if you realize we are just teammates working to help each other. And teammates always use first names ;)
Let me know if I can help you with anything, I always like talking with you Annie. I'm glad to see you doing so well too! :)
pls i need your help for resteem, https://steemit.com/motivation/@zingl/stop-worrying
I don't mind helping you, in fact that's why we do this is to help you. So to help you the most right now, I will tell you to go to this tag #newbieresteemday and go to the "new" section... and then scroll down that tag feed and you will find at least 3 or 4 people willing to resteem your post. Also if you change the tag to add #newbieresteemday as one of your 5 available tags, you might get an automatic resteem by our "tag-lifter".
I could resteem that once and let you go away, or I can teach you how it works and you can do it on your own. We work to help you to help yourself. So we will help you with the tools, and you just need to realize that you only "need" yourself to learn and try and ask lots of questions.
You can do it @zingi, we are here to help you.... is that a deal?
I love how you support so many initiatives, you are really good at this. Success for you.
Thank you very much for saying that @maurelvys! That is a very nice thing to say :) ... In fact its sometimes a comment like yours that makes my day. So thank you and I wish you lots of success too!
ps... next week we have lots of fun planned so keep your eyes open because we are going to be making it easy to make money! (at least a little at a time) :)
Nice post , upvote4upvote
I would like to see you succeed, so I'm going to give you some advice. That doesn't work at all. The only people that will do that are so new they don't know any better. But the pennies they could give you won't make you rich, so why bother?
If you want to learn how to do this right and make good comments and make real friends, then I will personally help you out. I can tell simply by your reputation score that you are not getting it right, and I do want to help you but you will have to ask (and listen). If that's a deal then track me down and tell me. I would love to see you succeed by doing it the right way! AND I will HELP!
support all the way... despite how busy my other life is hahahahaha... well done @davemccoy and superb idea @beeyou. Let me know if i've done mine right... just posted my week 2 of #newbieresteemday today... hope newbie catch my post so that they can place their post for me to resteem... tired day... and long day it has been today (saturday).
its nice to see you Carol and I saw your post earlier! Good job on it and thank you so much! I am also sorry to hear about your car getting hit, but I am happy that you are ok!!! You did an amazing job of recovering and turned out a good post later, so I think you are doing good ;)
I agree about @beeyou being good for that role. Thank you again and I hope today is wonderful and bright and filled with lots of good things to make up for yesterday!
keep up the good work and look out for games we have coming out next week... we are going to be giving upvotes on many games like we did on the one you played this week. It won't make you rich, but it will build your account a little and step by step we will get stronger together!
See you soon!!!
morning @davemccoy , i saw you transferred SBD into my account, I can't recall... but what is it for hahahahahaha...
you played in the comment challenge... and you are qualified because you were under 46 Reputation... Here is the link explaining it.
https://steemit.com/newbieresteemday/@davemccoy/amazing-results-of-first-partnership-between-newbieresteemday-and-steemitcommentchallenge-check-it-out
And if you have smaller ones out there, we are going to have lots of these coming this week. So the smaller people will benefit if they get out there and participate. I will be sending out a post later today with the rules... and btw if you want to create you own game, it is very easy... just check out my last post!
Glad you won something and keep up the awesome work Carol, I appreciate what you are doing to help others :)
@davemccoy excellent as always and @beeyou, this is an amazing initiative esp for the newbies <3 they'd benefit from this so much... at least it gives them hope 💪🏼
yes @deborism... I agree about hope... sometimes if its based on something attainable, then that hope can carry them through any disappointments. I can't remember if I "volunteered" you to be a member of our initiative... but if I didn't I'd like to say I think you are exactly a person who would fit well. IE... would you like to be a founding member and join us here and help in a way that suits you and your needs?
:D you can think about it and let me know when you're ready. But the offer is always open!
Of course @davemccoy. I'm more than happy to support the Steemit community in any manner :) I've added you in discord already since I might have some questions as well. My handle is the same as my profile's :) I can't wait to 'volunteer' in any way. It's definitely an honor, esp when you think I'd be a great fit :) let's do this together as a team 💪🏼
You will definitely be a great fit! The last sentence says it all ;) ...
Lots planned for this week, just jump in where ever you want and ask me if you have any questions!!!
This is Awesome. Way to go.
thank you very much grace... you are awesome
I am running into you 2 threads in a row now :) .. that's good... we are connected and I will not forget you. Also we need to get you going so you should join up with us on discord so that you can get tips and pointers from our members (and me too)... here is a link to get you signed on... https://discord.gg/RSD88W and when you get there just look in the top left and go to add friends and add me: davemccoy#2479 ... Then I can help you directly with any questions you may have... and ps... thanks again for the logos... that is so cool!
Lets talk soon, i'll be back tomorrow!
Thank you so much @davemccoy, you are awesome too, I just joined on discord and added you. I will really love to be part of this initiative. Thanks once again, you are doing a good job.
Sounds like the community has been buzzing busily the past weeks! I was going to ask if we have a discord channel but I think I saw some links in the comments. Will have to check through it. I wasn't sure which discord channel you frequent. Hopefully, I can find you in our own new channel.
Hey @uspeakableme.. you can get me in either of our discord channels..
https://discord.gg/SfEGbj
https://discord.gg/bSNuJt
and also DM me at davemccoy#2479 ... Just add me as a friend and I will send you both. Or let me know here.
And yes we are buzzing (@beeyou would love that one). I will look for you throughout the day and I'm looking forward to connecting to you!
