I want to adopt a minnow

If you were paying attention this week, this platform had a wonderful idea that was started. The idea originated from @whatsup and came to fruition by @brandyb running with it. So, this week after talking with @brandyb I decided that it was a great idea to Adopt a Minnow. If you follow me or have heard about me at all in one way or another I do what I can on this platform to help others whether it is by running an Art Contest, taking the time to judge contests outside of that as well like the Karaoke Contest and KillerPix Contest both run by @killerwhale, or running the Alpha Syndicate of #thealliance and #steemusa or just generally guide people how I can. So, naturally, this is something I thought was a great idea for me to try.

I have never adopted a minnow before, so this is a bit new to me. I have, however, guided quite a few people through training them to increase the quality of their blogs, the quality of their comments, some basic markdown, and just provide overall support. I am sure a few people can attest to that. So, when I was thinking about this whole endeavor I was asking myself what I thought the best way to go about finding my minnow was, and I came up with this.

Tell me why I should adopt you (a minnow)

Are you a minnow?
Do you need/want some extra support?
Are you enthusiastic and willing to learn?

Great! Those are just the basics. Here is what I am looking for in a minnow to adopt, please read below.

Topkpop's requirements for her minnow:

I am looking for a minnow that will not only want to receive support but is willing to give it.
I feel I could best help a minnow who creates content in a few spaces (Preferably Music/ or music related, Art, Video/Vlogs, Photography, Poetry, and Gaming)
Someone who is enthusiastic and willing to learn
Must have at least 5 quality posts
A person who is here to face their fears/get out of their comfort zone or is desiring to do so
Someone who wants to build their confidence a bit (ideal)
Be genuine & desire meeting a new friend

Here is what you get from me:

A huge supporter that will comment and upvote your posts and engage with you
I will give you a resteem on quality posts at least once a week
If you are doing well enough I will mention you in a post once a week and maybe even on my radio show
I will help guide you and give you the knowledge that I have and with tips to improve
I will be available on discord (if you choose to use it) daily so you can ask questions, get guidance, and whatever else
Be genuine and honest with you
Help you in whatever ways I can that will benefit you if I think of them
I will delegate you some steempower (amount I see fit)
I will do this for a month Jan 21st - Feb 19th

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 couple of days. My cut off for this will be Saturday, January 20th. I will make my decision and make a post about it the next day.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

I'm stealing this. I saw that @phelimint did two and not sure if I have time for two, but I can definitely make one happen. I've already been helping onboard some friends so it should be pretty easy from the information I've already sent them.

2 is awesome! I wish I could guarantee I had that time but I really want to put as much effort as I can into my one minnow and tend to be a little tied up in other things too I help lead (as you also know), but feel free as the more minnows helped the better I think.

Awesome! I am happy to see you headed down the adoption path. :) Excited to see where it goes.

Thank you! I am certainly excited 😀

Absolutely a wonderful idea! Congrats!

I think this is a fantastic idea. It is so nice to see people supporting each other here on this platform.

Thank you for such a great idea.

I’d love to be adopted 😁
I’m probably not worthy but just saying hello 👋

I believe everyone is worthy of help. Why not try? Don't count yourself out just yet. Hello back by the ways

Seriously though this is a great idea 👍

I thought of writing, but I can't,
Not that I don't want to write,
but my inner self won't even be right
Am I a newbie?
Yes
Do I need help?
Yes, seriously do.
But why would the criterials be of art oriented when am but a science fellow.

just having a conversation with my mind.

May the best minnow win.

You can also try look into some of the other initiatives to help newcomers on steemit: https://steemit.com/newbieresteemday/@mudcat36/attention-newbies-send-a-link-to-me-and-i-ll-resteem-it-or-help-make-it-better-or-refer-a-link-if-you-re-not-a-newbie-but-want

I am also a science oriented fellow and there are also plenty of space for everyone here on steemit :)

Thanks for this.
I will check it out

The great thing is, even if it isn't a fit for me, there are tons of people out there who would be perfect to help and a lot that are wanting to help newbies. Don't give up. Perhaps even one of my followers will see this and help out, there are lots of willing people.

Thanks for this.
This is a rough work, but reading your comment made me do this.

Amazing! Hopefully this will be contagious and spread like a virus on the plateform!

That would be amazing!
