BUDGET PROPOSAL: Taking Steemit And Steem To The Grass-roots On A Weekly Basis (THE #STEEM-ASSIST PROJECT)

Hello Steemians,

Firstly, I extend a ton of gratitude to @jerrybanfield for this rare initiative of supporting steem based projects with funds. It is a development which shall go a long way in helping the steem blockchain as well as steemians who are still coming up the rung.

This budget proposal is sought to fund the #steem-assist project initiated by @tutornary. Read more about Tutornary HERE.

WHAT IS #STEEM-ASSIST?

Tutornary's gets its life source from the STEEM blockchain in earnings and donations, thus, has STEEM PROMOTION as part of its major projects. The steem blockchain has come to the rescue of lives, empowering them intellectually and financially. Just a few have benefitted from this privilege. There are many more talented individuals out there in the outskirts who need to be aware of this platform of freedom and scholarship. Aside that, most steemians come in with the wrong orientation and end up frustrated after a few attempts which yielded little or no earnings. Steem-Assist was born under these concerns. The tag #steem-assist is reserved to @tutornary for its STEEM PROMOTION purposes.

UNDER THE STEEM-ASSIST PROJECT, @TUTORNARY SHALL:

• Host weekly public forums/meetups targeted at reaching to at least 100 individuals at the grass-root level, teaching them to adopt steem as the next generation medium of exchange as well as providing them with broad enlightenment about steemit, steem blockchain and how to efficiently interact with the crypto space.

• Provide regular follow-up/mentorship sessions for these newly initiated steemians to equip them with the right intellectual tools for successful and profitable contribution to the steem blockchain. Consistency is one of our major concern here; we observed with dismay that individuals have fronted steemit outreaches for the sole purpose of reaping from the reward pool associated with promoting steemit and not for the passion for people empowerment. WE WANT TO EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS! ...we educate...we mentor...we empower!

• After proper mentoring, we don't just leave our mentees hanging, LEVERAGING ON THE REWARD POOL, we empower them with needed equipment to kick off were needed. Tutornary shall also extend empowerment alms in the form of high school scholarships, college scholarships, support small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) among many other support initiatives we have in view.

• Provide curation for selected category of posts as @tutornary steempower graduates.

• Facilitate quality steemit contents of grand aesthetic touch by providing regular reviews/tips on posts of members of the steemit community.

HOW WOULD #STEEM-ASSIST HELP THE STEEM BLOCKCHAIN?

• This project shall take steemit to the outskirts.

• #steem-assist shall produce well mentored steemians who understand the essence of the steem blockchain and appreciate steemit for what it is.

• It shall further popularize steem and steemit, reaching at least 300 persons each month and properly mentoring them and equipping them with the tools for success.

• Extend empowerment support in the form of high school scholarships, college scholarships, support small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) among many other support initiatives we have in view as we go farther.

• Facilitate quality steemit contents of grand aesthetic touch by providing regular reviews/tips on posts of members of the steemit community.
