Weekly Recap for #newbieresteemday
![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXWkd75ggmWrfZRukhkLRzvX5L91iUhTKCekhLGntohKf/image.png)
I’ve been thinking how best to contribute to the #newbieresteemday initiative. I’m not on Steemit enough to be a resteemer. Plus, I share this account with others and don’t want to confuse my teammates with so many posts on our blog (they’re still learning!). I self-promoted myself to beeing the “cheerleader” of the initiative, until @davemccoy created the honorary "cheerleader" title for me.
Now I’m stuck as a member (love you guys!). I would like to do more, so I have decided…
WEEKLY RECAP!
The #newbieresteemday initiative is taking off with such momentum. There has been support from new and experienced Steemians. It is hard for me to follow along every day as I come on a few minutes here and there. So when I have the time, I search newbieresteemday to catch up on news. Since I’m catching up for myself, I figured, why not write about it?
Weekly, I will recap what we’ve been doing with the initiative. I plan on highlighting some of our accomplishments, the incredible work our members are doing, and where we are heading. It's an opportunity to get to know us. I urge you to search under #newbieresteemday to learn about this wonderful initiative founded by @mudcat36 and @davemccoy. If you don’t have the time to follow daily, catch me with this weekly recap.
I have also decided to share any SBDs earned with the weekly recap post by breaking it into two categories. I will send 50% of the SBDs earned from the post to @davemccoy to distribute as deemed appropriate for the initiative. The other 50% will be equally divided and sent to the members volunteering their time to help out that week. You could be a resteemer, post author, scouter, or sponsor. I will have a section acknowledging members helping out that week. If I miss you, please be sure to reach out to me and let me know! We have so many members with different skillsets and helping out in their own ways. I’m still learning who everyone is!
GO TEAM!
Edited: Initially, I thought SBD from the weekly post should be a 75/25% split. However, I’ve decided to do a 50/50 split. After all, the initiative can only be a success with the support of members volunteering their time. They deserve to be equally recognized!
MORE Terms & Conditions :) --I really should have this part in small print, exactly how it is in the real world. Hehe.
Due to the generous support of our members in contributing their own SBD funds to boost this post, I've decided again to revise the distribution of the SBD funds.
NEW as of 01/29:
In efforts to keep transactions as transparent as possible, please only help with upvote services if you would like to donate to the initiative. Plus, you will be giving me more work to track everything down. :) I still stand by giving back the initial investment for THIS post. Any contributions for future posts will be considered donations. Thank you all for your generous support!
OLD & only for this Post: Any member contributing their own SBD to help boost the weekly recap post's payout will receive a refund of their initial investment. Then the SBD will be equally divided 50/50 to the initiative and members helping out that week. It is only fair!
Also, I included "sponsors" as a member too. If any kind-souled sponsor would like to give us a "big" upvote, I will credit them as a sponsor for the week and add their name as an honorary member for the week so they too can share in the member's SBD portion. The initiative is truly a good cause and we welcome the support.

This is a very needed service you are going to try to provide. Thank you. I know with limited time available this is a lot for you have a nice day, and best steemian wishes to you and your success.
Hi @bashadow. I think it would be helpful to highlight some of the happenings with the initiative. I also think it's equally important to acknowledge the members that are helping behind the scenes. I hope to find time to do this weekly. We'll see! If I miss a weekly edition, then it means mama duty is taking up all my time.
no worries mama... we understand. :)
Hi @bashadow. Thanks for showing support to my teammate just now when he made his intro post! I'm sure he will be excited tomorrow to see a comment and get to engage.
I'm sorry @beeyou, I did so much voting today, I really don't know who I voted, who I commented on or any of it right now. Guess I'll have a few more comments to answer tomorrow when i wake up. Getting ready to hit the hay soon, you have a good day.
LOL, no worries. You are supporting others so that is a great thing. Have a great day yourself!!
btw, weekly recap will be out tomorrow. Finally done.
very nice, this is incredible @beeyou! You really are the sweetest bee in the hive ... hahaha ... just for that you have been resteemed (even though I'm off duty)
You have been resteemed as part of #newbieresteemday ... I made today my #newbieresteemday, and invite you and others to do the same. To learn more: Come Join Us!!! (Newbie Resteem Initiative)
Aww @ilovepoorpeople. Thank you for the resteem (on your day off!) and the bots! Now I have to edit my post. Anyone who helps contribute their own SBD to voting bots will receive their initial investment back. Then the post payout will be split. Only fair!
Thank you @beeyou, I love your username. Keep being you, if we all can remember to do just that, we will all be🐝 successful. I AM INSPIRED.
Thank you @charisma1. I agree with you. That's why I think steemit is a great platform for us to discover ourselves. Dredge out those talents within we never explored or knew to exist. Simply "beeyou" :)
Btw, Happy Belated Birthday! Hope you had a great one.
Thank you that’s so sweet of you. I look forward to seeing your posts:)
Thanks @charisma1. And thanks for showing support to my teammate right now when he made his first intro post! btw, the other day my teammate mentioned your affirmation post. He was waiting for you to make your daily post. :)
@beeyou, thank you for your kindness and hearing that someone enjoys my daily affirmations makes me so happy. I was hoping that my blog would touch others in a positive way. Love and light.
omgosh this is amazing You once again manage to stun me @beeyou! This is such a great idea (and so needed) that I think even you will be surprised at just how good this will be. Stay tuned... more fun ahead ;)
Your channel I made for you on discord :-) https://discord.gg/bn2wae .
Named newbieresteem.
you are the man! awesome :) ... I will go there right now!!!
My pc crashed, hence my instant exit.
hahaha I was wondering what happened to you... Me and KJ had a good chat though :)
All good, you may need to man the channel 24 hours a day soon, not you more shared responsibility with others, should this grow.
help me get the word out if you see any of our teammates... I'm sure you know them by now ;)
I sent mudcat a link, you can just edit the post above, and put the link to the discord channel in, voila, done in 1 go.
That means more reading and catching up! More homework @davemccoy. I thought homework was done and over with when I graduated. LOL. Looking forward to the "fun ahead".
btw, I will be updating the post. You and @ilovepoorpeople have graciously helped with boosting up the pot. I will refund your initial investments (or anyone else who wishes to contribute) before making the divvy.
no no no... no refunds... Just follow the path that you stated and it will all work out. 1/2 of the sbd will go the way you said and the other half will go the way you said. That is the point. People give you the power and you then can return the power in a way that we trust you will do the most good. So no refunds, just spend whatever funds you get according to your analysis of who is most in need of support and where you think you can help the most.
Got it?
I think it's only fair @davemccoy. If we don't refund the initial investment, how else do we, or anyone who wants to show support, have a revolving SBD stream to contribute to the next post? Or other projects?
Using myself for example. I used .04, .02, and 0.5 for our three favorite boosting services. At post payout,I would refund myself that .04, .02, and 0.5 so I can use the funds for the next post. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to fund the next and the next. I'm not taking any more than I put in. Any "profit" will be divvied up as planned.
We can change it for the next post, but I think it's only fair to "refund" back for this one since I already stated it. I know it's just the three of us helping, but fair is fair.
Plus, I don't want the power! LOL. More power, more problems.
I will explain how it works... just trust me though, I got this part down cold
you don't even realize it yet, but your idea is really perfect.
I'll explain the math to you on the next comment
I will give you the math and the rationale of why your idea was so good.
ok think about it like this:
You are doing a great thing by writing a "weekly update"... That will take you time and should help you (because we want to help you because you're helping us). So under the structure that you proposed, you will get the benefit of a small amount of SP on the payouts on your posts... And really it is small compared to the SBD you receive.
You said you were going to "give back" the SBD you earned in the following way:
1/2 to the me (but you meant either mudcat36 or me for the Newbie Resteem Initiative general purpose fund).
1/2 to the members that were doing the good things and you wanted to help them (like Minnow Mondays, or the re-steemers, or the contest holders, etc...)...
So in effect you WILL BE giving back all the sbd and that is perfect.
As far as the donors, the upvoters, and the post promoters we are doing so knowing exactly what we are getting in return. You have stated clearly what you are going to do with that money from the weekly post. So its all good. I don't want to confuse you as to "why" people are going to want to do this, but trust me they will. The SBD money that gets upvoted to your weekly update gets recycled to our members in some form anyways.
As far as you or anyone spending your own sbd on the post if you don't have any spare sbd to use, then you won't do it and shouldn't do it. Its ok because everyone has their individual needs. There are many people out there that are just looking to upvote something that sends a good message. For example, I just collected 2 sbd from 2 comments I made trying to help someone out. A bigger fish liked what I said and he upvoted me.
So think about it like this... as long as you meant what you said about returning the sbd in the fashion that you described in your post, then it is perfect and you don't need to worry at all "why" others will upvote it. I will take care of that. I promise you that no one will upvote your post if they don't want to and don't have the upvotes to spare. So never worry about that.
Does this make more sense to you or do I need to try to explain it another way?
and ps... I know you don't want the power, that is why it is perfect that you get it. You did not do anything for the purpose of self-gain and you are the perfect person to make this happen. I know you only know me for a short time, but you are just going to have to trust me on this one. I see a bigger picture and I can read people pretty well, plus I have a good grasp of how this system is put together. I know you might be shy and think you can't handle it, but you would be absolutely wrong. All you have to do is to "beeyou" and I promise you that you will like it, you will be good at it, and you will help many because the idea behind #newbieresteemday is to help to grow the newbies and give us little guys a good experience and a real chance of success. You will be a very big part of that (even though you only have a limited time to help).
Do you agree yet or do I need to make my fingers even more cramped typing more explanations. lol ;)
Wow, I have to read this one through. How are you not on discord when you told me to come on?!
I think people really like your idea! ... (they should, it is an awesome one) :)
Can't believe you are still up @davemccoy. I think I'm done with the weekly recap. I had planned on posting tomorrow but my teammate just made his first intro post! I want to give him the blog space, so it'll go up on Monday.
and now we have our own site on discord thanks to @deliberator so you really have to sign up now and meet all of us... here is the link to sign up and say hi
https://discord.gg/5NcAVP
ps all of the newbie resteem initiative members are welcome to sign up and use that link. So if you are reading this join us.
I'll try to join this weekend. Maybe tonight if I can. Depends on the kiddos and if I get any free time tonight. Plus, I have some reading "homework" to do and weekly recap to write. I plan on getting it posted on a weekend day.
ok ok... lol.. no stress ... I know you have other things to do and I certainly don't want the head cheerleader to get burned out
Did I get promoted to head cheerleader? YAY!
of course ;)
awsome work, nice post, please also visit my post , if you have time, and like my blog, i am always fallowing you
Hi @sami7780. Thank you for your support. I remember your lovely family! I saw you have posts in spanish and english. Como estas? (and that is all I remember from 2 years of spanish class!)
@bigtom13 and @gracefavour are helping with the resteems today. I asked them to help resteem the spanish post with 50 cents, since I know what that is about, and the one in english with you introducing your friend. That way we can get you exposure to two different communities.
If you search #newbieresteemday, you can find members that are helping with resteems for the day. Just ask them to help resteem your post the next time you have a new post to share.
You can also get there by clicking on my tag by the upvote button (thank you for the upvote).
Then search new so you can find the member helping that day.
Here is @bigtom's post showing that he is helping with the resteem today.
Nice work @beeyou, You are just the best.
We're always happy so see a new face helping @gracefavour. It doesn't matter if you have 1 follower or 5,000. The fact that you want to help others speak to your "gracious" personality :). We're glad to have you with us!
This is it. So kind of you @beeyou. I know how challenging this effort is but you made wow. Sharing is giving and thats what we are for here. More power @beeyou
Why did I not follow you when I welcomed you aboard @leebaong? I must have been sleep-deprived. Aspiring writer right? I remember, if you write then that might motivate me to write! Look at you now! Will be surpassing my rep in no time at all.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. Let’s see if I can deliver (the weekly post part). 🙂
Hahhahaha. Thank you and I definitely do believe that you can. I admire you. If I just have the time, I really wanted to help as well.
No worries @leebaong. Just stop by now and then to say hi. That's support enough. :)
And by the way, I'll be posting short stories. Thanks . We'll Nurture our rep hand in hand.
I'll be sure to stop by and read the stories! I'm just going to say that I plan on taking it nice and easy with the rep "race". That way I won't feel so bad when you blow past me.
Haha. I know you run faster than me @beeyou. I just learned to walk in steemit. But i know so nice of you so i wont get shocked seeing you soon being one of the whales.
Wouldn't that be nice @leebaong? If we could all become whales?
😁😁😁 that would be sweeter than sweet.
I am so much grateful that i have a friend like you.
See you around @beeyou
