One of our members in #thealliance, @brandyb, has brought to our attention something started recently by @whatsup. @whatsup decided to adopt @brandyb and show her support to help foster a positive experience here on Steemit.


@brandyb not only got adopted, but she ran with it and is spreading the adopt a minnow concept further and thought discussions on discord and posts the adoptaminnow is spreading, Her post here explains it better than I could

Joining the initiative

I have added my name to the list as a 'foster parent' as I think it's such a great idea. You can find several members from our family over there, take your pick! Most of them will have or are creating posts similar to this one, that outlines what kind of minnow (if they have a preference) they are looking to adopt. Now this is new to me, heck I am still a minnow but one who has been on here a while, and the adoptaminnow idea is new to me so bare with me, let me try and explain what I am looking for

About me

My main area of posts on Steemit is photography related but I do add a bit about the location or my feelings related to the photo, writing something exciting and or fun to read is not my forte, but is something I am working on.
I have become active or taking on leadership roles in a few communities including #steemusa and #thealliance and member in a few others.
I know a lot including me were first drawn to the site because of the ability to potentially earn something for your time on the site and content.
But what has drawn me into Steemit is the sense of community and great interactions that I have found and become a part of on here.
Great! Those are just the basics. Here is what I am looking for in a minnow to adopt, please read below.

My 'Ideal Minnow'

Well as I said I am new to this so not sure what I have to offer let alone what I want, but as this post is meant to be putting myself out for people to apply to be adopted by, I better add something to this section.
I guess it would be natural to ask for someone also into photography and that may be an idea but is not set in stone.


I think ideally I would be looking for someone who is interested in working to post original and good quality content, have genuine and honest interaction with others, and work to build the steemit community, and would look at once building up and ready to expand and adopt other newcomers and help the spread and growth of the Steemit Community.

What’s next

How do you apply to become my minnow?
That's the fun part! I want you to be creative. I like creative. If you want to be considered then I need you to write a post. In the post
answer these questions:
Why should I adopt you?
How will you be a supportive minnow?
Write a nice little blurb about someone you follow, I want to hear something nice about them
Use the tag #adoptaminnow


That's it! Then come into the comment section on this post and post your link. You have a week. My cut off for this will be Saturday, January 27th. I will make my decision and make a post about it the next day.

Thank You

Thank you for taking the time read my post here. I guess we'll see where it goes! If you would like for me to adopt you, please comment below and I'll check out your profile. Big props to @brandyb for expanding on @whatsup's initiative.
