Hey Steemit! Today I just wanted to write a few words to thank @minnowfund & @brandonfrye for helping minnows on Steemit - myself included!

Introducing the One & Only Minnow Fund !!

Minnow Fund is a Steemit initiative that assists minnows in their upstream battle for Steem dominance through funding and education. This project is provided and supported by the @brandonfrye upvote service and its delegators.

So how does @minnowfund help minnows? And what have they done to help me?

I have been fortunate enough to be selected by @minnowfund and @brandonfrye for the Second week of this initiative and was issued with a 50 SP delegation for 45 days! So a big thank you for choosing me! I promise I won't let it go to waste.

SO here's exactly how MinnowFund can also help you!

1. Funding - Minnowfund delegates FREE SP to growing minnows to help kickstart their SP holdings to increase their ability to earn more curation rewards on this platform. This Minnowfund initiative is only in it's third week of operation at the time of writing and has already been able to increase from the initial 25 SP delegation to one new user per week, to a huge 50 SP! So that's double the initial SP delegation by the second week of the initiative. @Minnowfund has goals to make their SP delegations bigger and better over time - so please get involved with this awesome project and spread the word to help as many Steemians as possible.

2. Education - We all know how it felt when we first started on Steemit. There is just SOO much to learn about this platform it can be very overwhelming. @brandonfrye continually provides educational content on his Steemit channel on all aspects of this amazing decentralised social platform. I know that there are many, many videos and some of them are quite long but I can vouge for these educational videos. They are well worth the time and I have personally learnt a lot from @brandonfrye. So please, please, please - if you are starting out (or even if you've been here for awhile), check out his channel as I'm sure there is something that you can learn from him. Steemit is a huge platform and there is always something new to learn and discover.
