RE: (Almost) Free Services and Grand Finale Competition Announced
Hi. I stumbled on your blog because @onnovocks stopped by my teammate’s recent post. Then I saw that @theblackcrow is a fan of your work (I’m a fan of his ‘Daddy, Why is the Sky Blue’ work.) if both individuals who I’ve recently met and like both make it a point to stop by your page, then you must have talent. From my scroll through your blog, it is obvious you do. Sadly though, it didn’t get the attention it should have. (I have to admit though, I’m like @theblackcrow. Some of your writing goes over my head. I think you and @bashadow from our group would get along)
We can’t change the politics in here overnight. That is a fact. Maybe not all. What we can do is try to build a community to support one another, especially for the newbies that are just starting out. I’ve come to find out that talent alone will not bring you far on here. I say again and again that I’ve seen beautiful minds and hearts sharing their stories on here but their footprint are just specks in this blockchain history. Perhaps they will always be. I’m sure as heck going to try my best to make my community more than a speck on here and bring the individuals I’ve met and admired along with me.
If you would like some exposure for your posts, feel free to use our hashtag #newbieresteemday. That goes to both @omnovocks and @theblackcrow. You and @omnovocks have reps above 45 so we can’t upvote with our small curation trail from @newbieresteemday, but we can always pass it along to a Curator on our team that is from curie.
I really really tried to get @theblackcrow’s blue sky post selected. I know members of curie liked it because they stopped by, but curie also looks at the author’s writing history along with the work. He was too new at the time. I don’t know. I’m not from curie and there is no rhyme or reason what they select.
Long story short, I hope you decide to stay. If any of you decide to join a community, our Newbie Resteem one is a good one with really good folks. @davemccoy and @mudcat36 are the founders, and if you check out their blogs, you’ll know I’m right. We chat on Discord if you ever want to meet us.

PS, I won’t bother upvoting your post. I’m not even worth one penny at the moment. I completely drained my VP. I will be sure to stop at all three blogs when I can give my measly 1 cent again.
Now I have to wait for parent Steemit to replenish my bandwidth before I can post this comment. Lol. Will leave the window open until I can make the post.
What a generously uplifting reply if ever I read one! Amazing amount of new tid bits here for me to look into.
This Discord place I've seen mentioned in passing but this is the first link I've got.
Newbieresteemday raises a question for me: how on earth does resteem work (what does it do for you financially, and how DOES one resteem). I find it moderately inconvenient when following has too many resteem up.....
But doesn't a 0 cent vote not do anything? Like encourage others by way of one thing leading to another....(I tend to look who voted to discover a network (or a bunch of bots).
Will be looking into all names dropped, including your lovely self.
Thanking you so very kindly, and still a bit bewildered by your efforts - which I like especially for it's interconnecting vibe.
Hi again. I think my VP is up enough to give you my small 1 cent. 🙂
So the big question. What does resteem do for us financially? Frankly, not much. People resteem because they either want to support the author or they upvoted the post and resteem in hopes that some whale will come along and drop a big vote. Then the person makes more from curation.
Our two founders came up with the newbieresteemday community because there is a disconnect between newbies and the established. Newbies could have the best ideas and brightest minds on here but not succeed because they don’t have a big enough audience. The premise of the initative is that if we can each help with the resteems then we can grab a bigger audience for our newbies.
It has since changed. Evolved you can say. Members contribute with what they can, with their own talents. Some like to resteem, others write a weekly post on our newbies, others host contests to help them make more SBDs. We’re still learning and growing. I help by writing the weekly recap to keep all activities tracked in one place. I personally don’t like to resteem since beeyou is a group acct. I only resteem when I feel the message will help my followers or is meaningful to me.
What we encourage most is engagement with one another. Go out and support newbies and each other too. Dave has a great post about our initative if you would like to learn more.
