WHAT is #steemsquad?

Steemsquad is an initiative of multiple minnows whose objective is to promote diverse and quality content and their work which may not have a chance to get noticed when published in the main streem. STEEMSQUAD initiative will try to tweak the game to equally distribute the wealth among its members. 

STEEMSQUAD is a community-backed account responsible for posting blogs of qualified authors and at the same time upvotes quality blog posts of its members.

Members of STEEMSQUAD are from across multiple timelines to ensure a 24/7 support and active participation in Steemit.

The Issue at Hand

For quite some time, there has been a noticeable trend as to who gets rewards. Those favored are the whales themselves, members with high reputation levels, incoming popular personalities and celebrities either from the cryptocurrency world or the entertainment world. A number of people from the finance institutions have joined as well and have garnered huge rewards on their “introductory” posts.

And what happens to those who are not celebrities, unknown personalities from not-so-popular backgrounds? Their posts get dumped, thrown into oblivion. Then all the sweat and blood poured spilled into writing the blog just go to waste. This is where #steemsquad comes in.


WHY We Do It?

Steemit is a social media platform where **EVERYONE** gets paid for creating and curating content, as promised if and when you decide to dive into the Steemit Ocean. 

It leverages a robust digital points system, called Steem, that supports real value for digital rewards through market price discovery and liquidity.

We aim to give EVERYONE a chance to get noticed, earn rewards, and be a part of a community of people helping people.

You Can Succeed

All HOPE is NOT LOST. We have seen minnows rise to the occasion. With a positive attitude, an unwavering determination, lots and lots of good quality posts (one is enough though to get you 15k, if you hit the nail on the head), there is no reason why you can’t be successful here in Steemit.

#steemsquad will support you along the way.

OUR GOLDEN RULES

  1. We give priority to quality contents from low-powered profiles (minnows).
  2. The published author gets 100% of SBD. However, 50% of which goes to the author’s SP to allow the author to power-up leveraging his/her SP to upvote other writers.
  3. Any SP earned by STEEMSQUAD remains in the STEEMSQUAD account to gain more voting power for the benefit of its members.
  4. Pay-it-forward. The powered-up author commits to help other writers by upvoting and commenting to blog post to increase the post’s value.

Now, I have a newbie question:
"Submit your article in plain text format and links to images. Send your entry to @steemit.asia or @sebastien or @jaycobbell as a PM."
How would I send an article to one of you folks? I've posted already with steemsquad tag. Is that enough?
