The plan
The plan
To put it into an overall context, @steevc has set out an ambitious goal of getting us to 10,000 minnows by the end of the year. At the moment we have 9223 minnows on the blockchain but we want to see even more. That 500sp target is a significant milestone on the STEEM journey and one that we intend on getting a lot more people to. 250 more people to be exact, but that is just the initial goal.
Working with the amazing team of @paulag, @steevc @hitmeasap, @slobberchops, @cryptoandcoffee, @blanchy, and @pennsif I will do as much as I can to get these people over the line and hopefully lead to a better and stronger middle class of steemian in the future.
The original post lays out the facts and figures,

Step 1: 250 Minnows this month.
Step 1: 250 Minnows this month.
While this will be a long term project over all, the first stage will be to push a group of red fish that are sitting on the threshold of minnowhood. From the figures of @paulag we have gotten a large sample group and will hopefully be able to get them to commit to our vision and make the next step to reaching 500SP.
The first redfish that I am hoping to bring over the line will be,
@albertoyago,
@ayushjalan
@buckaroo
@claudiaz
@dses
@fraktale
@jamesndungu
@migueliglesias
@nerdtopiade
@ran.koree
All I need now is commitment from them and a little help from you and we can get them there.
This means that they write a little post to say that they want to get involved using the tag #tenkminnows, commit to power up all the SP earned during the month and to growing their account. This is a huge opportunity to get their account seen and one which I wish was offered to me as I struggled my way to minnow. All I can do is offer the chance and hope that they take it.

Step 2: The next wave.

If you are a Redfish (50 to 500SP) and haven't been contacted, don't worry. This is just the initial phase of a larger project to reach #tenkminnows over the course of the year.
I personally feel that it's possible for anybody to reach minnowhood by the end of the year and will help anybody who is interested in growing their account to get there. If you are in that category leave me a comment so that I know who you are and can get back to you.
A lot of success comes from doing the simple things right. It takes time and effort to build up a following and grow your circle but there are ways to work smarter towards your goal.
- Using the right interface.
- Up-votes from apps.
- Earning STEEM from apps.
- Competitions to win prizes.
- Joining suitable groups.
- Engage,Engage and Engage.
Let's get involved.

People are what drive this whole place. People are what make it special but we are not holding onto enough of them. A lot of that comes down to them not being seen and that problem lies on both sides. If we are to grow this place into the success and vision that we all want it to be then these people will be the foundation of that.
I hope that you can get on board and help us to support these smaller accounts that can often be overlooked. This is just a statement post but I hope to see a lot of action from some of these accounts soon that we can support.
Thanks for reading.
I'm on it!
Good to see. It's all about engaging and growing your circle. Everything else follows from there.
I may have started this, but I'm happy for others to join in and even take credit ;) Thanks for helping out.
That's how things happen. One person comes up with a good idea and people want to get onboard and drive it. Hopefully we can see it make a difference over the year and help get some good users to grow on the platform.
I am so hyped for this initiative! I will be joining a curation trail for the first time to support this so make sure your folks are with those. Thanks for the effort!

They will be once they get posts out to join the initiative. I've had a few of them get back to so far about it but none of them have completed the task yet to get supported. Hopefully they do and we can help them out. Those and anybody else that needs a little push.
"I personally feel that it's possible for anybody to reach minnowhood by the end of the year" - Now you just set me a goal :) Let's goo!
That's exactly the attitude to have. If you're willing to put in the time and be smart with what you do it's very possible. I started with nothing as well and got there in about 12 months while making terrible mistakes. It could have been done in half that time. Now I can earn a couple hundred steem every month and keep growing.
If you need help, have questions, anything at all I'm fairly active and happy to help.
