Three days ago, I decided that I wanted to sponsor new projects with my votes. I wrote the Pitch Me Your Project and the response was overwhelming! Almost 300 comments.
As I was reading it, after 20minutes of reading I realized that I wasn't even through 5% of the content. After putting that page into a word counter, I realized that there was the equivalent of almost 70 pages of content (or 34566 words).
That was a little too much to process and I didn't know how to order everything appropriately...it's amazing to see all of those projects happening simultaneously on the steem blockchain!!!
Since the sheer volume of information was too large, I decided to run a Version 2, be more specific and organized.

Curation Trails or Fanbase - Requires STEEMAUTO
For me to help you I need to know if you want a vote based on your curation trail OR an autovote on your account (fanbase).
Conclusion
Thanks for participating in the document, I will take the time to review this and sponsor the projects that I believe can bring the most value to the ecosystem.

This is a great initiative, and many thanks to @techslut for pointing it out to us as well as all the many other ways she's jumped in to help in our efforts to bring Steemit Creative Writers to the greater reading world beyond!
Isle of Write Curation to Publication!
I support this participant! <3 The @isleofwrite is an amazing group of people doing some awesome things with writers on steemit, including bringing abord some serious names in literature and publishing an anthology of works from steemit. Also, they have the friendliest Discord channel around.
Totally worth your votes.
Wow! Thank you! All proceeds from this comment will go to @isleofwrite. 🎉
Isle of Write is home to a community of dedicated, talented writers, producing work which quite frankly blows my mind on a daily basis. This group is so supportive, friendly, and hardworking... it's far and away my favorite Discord channel, and whenever I see posts with the Isle of Write tag I know it's going to be something genuinely great. They have my loyalty and are worthy of your support.
We couldn't be happier to hear Islanders feel this way, and we're grateful every day for the wide range of talent like yours that finds its way to our shores!
Absolutely supported!
The @isleofwrite is a secret paradise of creative energy full of wonderful people. Grow, little isle!
💚
Thank you, so much. We are overwhelmed by the number of wonderful and creative folks who traverse our shores. You all make the Isle great!
I figured it would be a lot for you to read , I really want to start on my project on helping the poor in Pakistan but I’ll need your help, I don’t think people really will help the month I have left to go or the time I’ll be there .
It’s great it’s sse that you’re helping out the community and creating awareness of different projects
@cryptoctopus,
Added my project idea, but not yet initiated! If you need further details I will provide you!
Cheers~
I wrote a post about my project two days ago, can I copy paste the whole post? I guess it would be difficult for you to read the whole post but to understand my project and why I am an advocate of gift economy, I would be needing your precious time to understand my little weird philosophy :)
Infact, I just had to paste the link, ignore my copy paste thing above. But I actually don't know the difference between fanbase and curation trail. Writing Fanbase for now!
Curation Trail is when other people sign up to have their account vote on the posts that you vote on, whereas a fan base is for people to vote specifically on what you post. So a curation trail would be more about seeking out other content to promote and reward, while a Fanbase would be best utilized for things like raising money for charities where the direct vote on your post helps some cause or other.
Hope this helps!
Yup, it did. Thank you so much!

Good
wow thanks for doing this @cryptoctupos you're the best. i would try to put this now. thanyoy for helping minnows like us. :')
I also wrote my post about my project, I'm recruiting A whole lot of newbies to the steemit blockchain, I recruit them from churches, campuses and so on, and I would like to do contest for newbies every week, I will fill my form, thanks
That sounds like a great project, @rejoiceavl!
Its really amazing, over 70 pages of project written down.
It shows that a lot of people are really showing interest and trying to better every aspect of life with steemit.
I really hope different projects get the greenlight.
Ilet me just pitch my tent here as well. This account is a project account, used to help africans get better, stronger and use cryptos to better their lives.
We have over the past 4 months done incredible things, of which can be seen in our 2018 projections on our main page.
We move via entertainment, advertisement and politics
Cheers.
Other projects i would suggest is the @steemcamp initiative, and @steem-lagos movement.
Thanks @cryptoctopus, will fill up the form with more specific details as required. Thanks for considering any of the project. All the projects that were pitched to you have shown each unique contributions and will definitely bring value to the steemit ecosystem. I am happy reading the pitch list. So awesome. 😊
Hi @cryptoctopus, I have done my introduction post, here it is and hope you will be so kind to have a look at it https://steemit.com/milestone/@ainie.kashif/yay-to-my-2000-followers-giving-away-sbd-hello-hello-steemit-1
@cryptoctopus - Sir this is a nice way to capture ideas... A format is a wise idea Sir... Sometimes my concept is not very powerful, but I hope you will look at it too Sir...
+W+
resteem bot is the concept of mine. my next concept is upvote bot. all process will handle manually. will vote for certain amount of group. thank you @cryptoctopus
@resteemia
I filled out the doc. I also filled out the form @lukebrn provided.
Now onto a matter that really pisses me off...
@cryptoctopus is so generous with all of us. The very idea that some greedy people are erasing this form in an effort to make sure their project is seen instead of others is really sad. I mean how dare you?
Whoever is doing this, you suck.
And to the spammers -- just quit. Copying someones comment in an effort to get an upvote is pretty low.
I'm honestly surprised that @cryptoctopus even tries to help people here. It seems like a lot of trouble to deal with all the bad apples in the bunch and I don't know if I would have the patience.
that's nuts! Have you really seen this happening? Deleting what other people are contributing?
Good thing Google Docs is the next best thing to a blockchain where the revision history can be reviewed, so that information is not truly deleted if Octo goes looking. Should be able to tell in "real time" what projects have been added by the same person deleting stuff too with the different animal tags... If Anonymous Bear deletes something and then puts something in, I would say that is cause for their project to be dismissed.
And your last statement is something I couldn't agree more about. Generosity only goes so far before people throw their hands up and say "To hell with this". I'm very thankful to @cryptoctopus for being willing to look past the garbage to try to reward good content!
I didn't. @lukebrn caught it. I just had to express my disgust.
Oh yes, it turned out a very unexpected result, my friend and as I understand to determine the direction of your support is still difficult, but still your idea and the contribution that you want to make for the prosperity of our ecosystem deserves attention and great respect, tell us next time about the progress on this topic, that we all could also help in the promotion of young and new projects! Thank you @cryptoctopus
Ok then.. i Will put my pitch there.
35K words to plough through! Sweet heavens you need to build team Cryptoctopus!
Again... Otstanding crypto :)
Lol.
Well you asked for it.
I prefer the whole "actions speak louder than words" approach, so I'll just let you know when Hots or Shots launches (1 week, 2 max).
I appreciate that you showed some love to #pixelartweekly though, every bit helps, so thanks for that.
Have a great day and here's my upvote just for being an awesome steemian.
Good
Personally, I tried reading some of the entries, they are amazingly much, I imaging how you will be able to read it. I think the part 2 is great as it offers us a way to be straight to point and also seek your support too.
This is really nice and the stress of having to read all through will be reduced. Thanks for your support.
My project is sport and my mission is to get to know more people who practice the sport of different styles join the community of Steemit, I'm putting together my roadmap to make it solid in time
Is 70 pages worth of text too much to read on a computer screen? LOL
When you yell out "free money" people are going to come running.
This is a great idea and I am sure you will get a ton of wonderful idea. The community is very creative. I just forwarded this post to one who has a project I know needs funding.
Thanks for all you do on here....I am trying to follow the model set down and help others along.
I've filled out line 22 for @thefreshfive.
Thanks for always being the #1 contributer and supporter of the Fresh Five Adam! I might have missed this post if you hadn't pinged me with the mention! My feed is too long... I really need a favorite follows tab so I see important posts like this!
I did make a slight edit to your entry on the form. While we do have a Fanbase set up for anyone who wants to help the Fresh Five account grow, I believe @cryptoctopus would have the most positive impact by joining the Curation Trail and giving upvotes to the brand new Steemians that we are promoting, so I changed the form from Fanbase to Curation Trail. ;-)
Rock on!
Awesome! I actually had Curation Trail in first... and literally changed it 5 times before grudgingly landing on Fanbase... I'm so glad you've rocked in here and made a definitive decision for us!
thanks so much Cryptos 🐙 for this sponsorship initiation, i have been running a project that promotes steem and its platform steemit kindly look into this thanks.
last week we concluded our campaign on twitter with a perfect result and with low sponsorship on the project campaign, and low curation cause i have to make transfer to all minnows who partaked on the Trending steemit on Twitter. @project-atlas
This is a great strategy for using your vote!
Just completed the form. Thank you for the opportunity to get word out about our @myhuntingfishing community and the #myhuntingfishing tag initiative. We have big dreams!
@cryptoctopus awesome initiative! I was wondering if you have heard of the Steem Poker League @spl? It is free to anyone who plays and there are daily freerolls. @tuck-fheman is the account that runs it. He's done an awesome job at creating a fun community for people and you even have a chance to win sbd. Of course, the sbd has to come from somewhere and it's not free for him to keep the site running. The posts from his account fund the freerolls and site. I would greatly appreciate if you looked into it and possibly added him to your list to support. I would fill out the Google sheet but seems like some people are deleting them.
Just wanted to bring this awesome community to your attention and nominate them for your support. Thank you for your consideration!
Upvoted for visibility
I went ahead and added the info to the spreadsheet, I don't have the intro post at the moment but can try to find it if you need it. If you check out his blog it should give you a good idea
Well this shows the power of real humans friend and i wonder how google handle it, i think 70 pages of content is good enough to crash the comment section of the post and friend right now i don't have any clear project in my mind, i hope you find right project to support soon, wish you all the best friend for all of your future endeavors! Stay blessed
@cryptoctopus I'm writing this comment to inform you; my entry has been deleted twice already by someone else on the Google Sheet. I think there is someone or multiple people deleting entries to put in their own!
I'm not sure how to fix this, but I thought that I would bring it to your attention. P.S, I only upvoted this comment myself to make sure that you see it!
EDIT: I think if you make a google form, then it will have to be filled out individually and nobody will have access to other entries. I can make it for you if you would like.
dang it. A google form is a good idea.
I filled out the doc and then I saw this. I went ahead and filled it out too.
Should we use the google form below or the google spreadsheet?
spreadsheet seems to work right now
I made one for you:
https://goo.gl/forms/MiahxTyiAwKUIRsK2
I can add you as a collaborator so you can see the answers, or you can just copy it and create your own form. Hope this helps!
You can also set up a maximum amount of words with google docs. That could make the reviewing more doable :P
Yes, Its good idea .. thank you sir ..........
Thanks so much for this...I would be delighted if my project is sponsored... I have just made available the introductory URL on the link you provided above...
Woooww that is an insane amount of words wahahah.
It is really cool to see people with ideas about projects :)
How precise one will be while doing good work. 35k words are also not possible to process. As you have good fan base and everyone wants to get his project shared through a proper chennel.
Good people always gather the audience and same happened with you.
Hope next time I will try to be more precise and would like to have my work appreciated too.
Very cool idea, will you show as some of the better pitches?
Hi, I added my project to the list. I am working on an Artificial Intelligence bot to help the Steemit community with curation: TrufflePig
Nothin' like being popular. ;)
Resteemed.
sorry, english is not my native languages, and i cant figure out what is Curation Trails or Fanbase - Requires STEEMAUTO means?
35k words to process is almost impossible. On the other hands this shows that many people have a lot of ideas and projects, but needs some sponsors and help. Your help to others is beyond respect.
I don't have any idea even about my Final year project. My supervisor asked me about what's your idea I said please give me an idea related to steemit which is blockchain social media platform. He said let us figure it out what project should be beneficial for all community. Let's see what happened
project on...
great to share..
upvoted
That,s Great!Best wish for your Project.
I will take part in your project.
thanks for participating
I will fill out this form
And share with you
And I will call my friends like you
Good luck @cryptoctopus
This is a nice idea. It will make it easy for you to visit everybody's project
Thanks for doing this sir @cryptoctopus... i kinda missed the first post. I'll fill the form now. Thanks again!
You are doing good work
Keep it up
I wish you all the best
Soon you will on the top of the community
God bless you
I wish you also check my blog
THANKS
You are doing a great job here on Steemit.
I believe that this is going to help lots of people with projects around.
Keep It Up
Thanks for the vol 2 I'm definitely registering, however you didn't come back to my reply to your question on my comment in your last pitching post
I am composing this remark to advise you; my entrance has been erased twice as of now by another person on the Google Sheet. I think there is somebody or numerous individuals erasing sections to put in their own!
I don't know how to settle this, but rather I felt that I would draw it out into the open. P.S, I just upvoted this remark myself to ensure that you see it. @cryptoctopus
You copied this comment from @lukebrn and reworded it enough to make it sound like giberish. Good job. I think I'll notify @cryptoctopus.
Omg.. 70 pages.. It ll be difficult for you to read all of them.. I wonder so many ppl are doing here good work.. You are so kind to sponsor good projects.. Steemit is lucky to have good ppl like yoy
nice
wow very nice excellent post
It was very good. i was waiting for it.This is really nice and the stress of having to read all through will be reduced. Thanks for your support.
I am already doing a project reaching out to indigent children in my community. Would love to have at least 2 yearly on scholarship.
