My Steemit Newbie Resteem Post - Week 15
Here is the link to my first #newbieresteemday post. It contains the links to @mudcat36 and @davemccoy 's Newbie Resteem Initiative. This is my week 15 posting. First weekly post was made on Jan. 14, 2018. The reach that #newbieresteemday tag has had is phenomenal. and the community engagement from team members, is just astounding. A lot of our team members have joined Ashers Curation league1 to see how well we are doing and where we may be falling a tad short, as a group, I do not think we have fallen short at all.

My Help Info/Style
I'll support at least one commenter who meets this criteria:
• a steemit newbie, that has a rank of not more than 45 1.
• has a good and quality blog
• has less than 90 days on steemit 2
• I will only resteem One post, and that is not a guarantee
I may not be able to do much, however I will try to help at least one new user a week.
So I think I will be doing this on Sundays, the funday.
And as you can see I do not always stick to even my own rules, 40/30 stuff.
1 Increased from 40
2 Increased from 30
I look through and try to give a small vote to all the members and non members that leave post in our chatroom post promotion drop boxes. Please do not drop more than two of your post in during a 24 hour period. The maximum number of post from the same person I will vote on is 2, no matter how much I like your content, and well there are a few of you that really have some enjoyable and well written content, but I will still only vote for at most two. And I have no level or newness rules for my votes, I don't care if you are a REP level 25, or REP level 71. I will read, vote if it is quality or a real good try, and 90% of the time leave a comment.

My Weekly Past Post

Discord Chat Room and New information
resteem-mepromoteme
Here is the link to our Newbie Resteem Discord Chat Room. Contained with in our chat room, is a post promotion dropbox. I very frequently look at and provide an upvote and comment to the post left there, (no guarantees of a vote however). To make things easier on users, the Promo Boxes have been combined into one room, no more confussion on which one to use for what reason.postfeed-back
Use this channel to place only posts of your own that you would like honest opinions on from formatting to content, hopefully this might help some find issues that a reader might have but they can't see themselves, just general critique and thoughts. Remember this is not a Post Promotion box, nor a resteem request box. This is to receive assistance on fine tuning your post.
          I will add more information about other rooms and information about the Discord room in future post. Remember we are a growing group, and while our core objective will not change, the chat room may go through changes to keep it relevant to the times, and at the request of new users joining. Speaking of joining, there is no click and wait to be approved, you click and are taken to the room.

I have decided to continue to promote @apolymask Information Finding Contest. Round 28, has just been announced. Several new participants have found the game through this post and similar postings. There is still more than enough time if you are upto some fun and games and meeting new interesting creative people.
Here is the Information Finding Championship - Season 1 : Round 28. If you need help understanding the rules, or the concept, just ask myself or any of the players we will try to help. I feel this contest is a super great way for new users to get a leg up, while having fun and making some friends on steemit, and learning how things work, all of the participants are real people, they will help if you ask.
Round 28 ends on (or about) Saturday. (at post payout).
What is it you ask, what could audience members of an online RPG style game possible want? Well it seems that some of them wanted to offer or provide services for each other, so "The Market Place", was built. A place for people needing something or having something to offer for sale or trade can gather. It is new and in it's infancy, but who knew 2 1/2 months ago, that IFC would have a non playing audience. So take a look at it, make a post, advertise yourself or your goods, or make a request, you just never know, there are a lot of talented people in IFC, and it is free.
IFC has taken off so well as of late, that it now has it's on blog page @IFC, here you can catch up on all the new rounds that have been issued, and see some of the content that the game players are submitting.
Okay, so why do I continue to support and advertise this contest, when it has been going on for so long? Well it is a long running contest, ends in mid-July. The structure of the contest is not fixed in stone, like real life chinks and cogs sometimes get thrown in the works, and sometime a light bulb goes off in someone's head. This is after all season One and the game play and formula for scoring are not carved in stone. So even if someone were to not enter until the final 16 play off then they still might have a chance.

Featured Post, and New information 2
If you click the little Pay It Forward bar above it will take you to: Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Week 3 - Win SBI & Steem-Bounty created by @thedarkhorse (55) in payitforward • 5 days ago. This is an ongoing weekly contest to profile.
This curation contest is open to everyone and runs for 1 week ending at post payout! The main focus is to help smaller members gain extra visibility and rewards for their efforts.
Basically you pick 3 individuals you follow with small under appreciated accounts of good quality, pick a nice post of theirs, make a post with a short statement profiling them and why you picked them. Other contestants then go and look at your selectees, and give them a vote, a comment or a resteem, if they were moved to do so.
We have to support every member that helps to support newbies!
Congratulations you have been upvoted and resteemed as part of #newbieresteemday's top 10 posts for the day! We invite you to use our tag to connect with more of our members. To learn more: Come Join Us!!! (Newbie Resteem Initiative)
Thank you it all helps us, and helps the new users also by helping build our accounts.
I am glad I bumped into you today! It made me come check your blog and this post is the kick in the butt I needed. @davemccoy invited me to the newbieresteemday a couple weeks back. We got a Harley and I got distracted lol I need to get over there and get involved.
That pay it forward thing is something I could maybe do.
Pay it Forward, is a great thing o participate in. It is about profiling new users, and bringing some visibility to their post. And it is totally free to enter. No vote needed, no resteem needed. Just an honest effort is all he ask. Of course if you vote early enough you could get a nice curation reward, last weeks post earned just a little over $16.00.
I love your newbie posts!! They are definitely a great help not only for newbies but for anyone wanting to know what's happening you are always on it!!!
After 15 of them I have sort of gotten to where they are fun for me to do. Most of it is static info, but there is always something new in there, and I like the bottom half to try and keep the new users informed of various things out there, like IFC, Pay It Forward, Hacking, I'll keep those two inks for a little bit. And it kind of works as a catch-up with each other place, so new users that find it can see that there is a couple of nice groups of nice people.
Great work bashadow! I think you did a wonderful job of explaining the contest and how this new round works. Also glad to see you mentioning thedarkhorses game. I have a message from from him/her I haven't got back to yet. But when I get time I plan on trying to interact with that community, it seems like a good one!
It's kind of nice seeing how the Chat Room is growing, and a few of the names in there I see voting, even if they do not play in the Challenges, so I kind of see them as Audience members for your show.
Agreed! And hopefully we're just getting started and there's many seasons to come after this one. And now thanks to The Marketplace, maybe things will be active in the chat room even when the IFC isn't active. Hopefully the two worlds build on each more as well. Would be cool to see more merchants coming over to play and more players going over to buy and sell. Time will tell, but it looks pretty positive so far. :)
