RE: Do you think I should follow you? Convince me

in #post6 years ago

Hi @anomadsoul! Its nice to meet you first of all... I have heard @abh12345 mention you in some of his posts, so any friend of Ashers is someone I respect!

Second, thanks to @doomsdaychassis calling attention to this post and asking me to contact you about our project #newbieresteemday... I could go on and on about what we are doing, but I will make it brief and explain how it pertains to this post of yours.

Essentially we are a group of people that support helping the newbies get established, we define this as having a reputation of 45 or less. Most of us are still minnows ourselves so we have limited voting power and not much to give other than our voice. But we have grown organically to have over 200 people associated officially with us, and many more that are unofficial.

We do various projects to help these newbies along...

  1. the main project is our @newbieresteemday account upvotes and resteems the top 10 posts of newbies each day on our feed #newbieresteemday. We have about 7 curators who follow that feed and are trying to give a small upvote to encourage and promote good behavior. We only have 500 SP delegated to it, but we also have about 40 people trailing the vote, so we give a double digit upvote to those posts and lift up quite a few each day. We also "discover" good posts and strong people and feed them to the likes of "curie" when we find them.

  2. we have a sister project called @newbiegames... This is newer and we are trying to encourage people to host games and contests for newbies and minnows so that they can discover the engagement in a different way. We focus on fun and them earning something by playing so that it is a win win. This account only has 100 SP which was leased by us through the market just to give us a small upvote and enough bandwidth.

  3. our newest sister project is @greetersguild which is a place that is home to actual "human" greeters to the newbies when they arrive. We have about 20 or so greeters that find the time to actually read the posts of the newbies and respond directly and give them help and guidance. This project is only a few weeks old, but will be the feeder group to many since the people inside this program are essentially personalized mentors directly on a one on one basis.

Newbie Resteem Initiative also has a discord server that has many interactions all the time. And we help people with problems or steer them in the right direction. We also are open to coordinating with many other groups and encourage our members to participate with many groups. We are currently working with @asapers @helpie @cryptoempire and @apolymask on his IFC program.

I hope this helps briefly explains what we do, and regarding your post issue, I think we could definitely help you to get new blood. If you tell me what you are looking for and how you would like to receive those people, we will be honored to send people your way. You can ask @abh12345 or @danielsaori and they can tell you that we can deliver you fresh eyeballs. So just let me know and I would be happy to connect many to you!

You can get me easiest on discord and my username is davemccoy#2479... but I also do my best at checking messages here so of course you can reply here as well! Thank you for your time @anomadsoul, and again @doomsdaychassis thank you for the heads-up on this post!

I too am in full agreement with @davemccoy!! Being a member of the same groups, Dave said exactly what I feel :)

I simply wanted to add that @hitmeasap created @asapers, but I know that @insideout, who does so much there was hoping for a little external support because she writes a multiple-times/week newsletter called "READ ME ASAP" where we find three member's undervalued posts to upvote and showcase.

Thank you @anomadsoul for this and all you do here :)

The Queen... Thank you so much I knew you would never miss a chance to be helpful! ;)

Happy to do it Dave! Your comment here was perfect...and it was much more than a simple "comment" :)

Hi @anoumadsoul
I can only second @davemccoy’s reply here. No way in the world would I be able to put it into words in a better way.

@davemccoy, you keep surprising me with your passion and energy, although you’d think I’d be used to it by now ;0)

lol... thanks @simplymike... you are too sweet! :)

I vouch for @davemccoy my friend @anomadsoul. He's got his heart in the right place and doesn't spam your feed which is also a good thing :P

Thank you very much @spiritualmax! :)

Way to go team! My support is with @davemccoy. I would have written the same thing but he already took the time to do so, much better than I could have done.

I vouch for @davemccoy! He has been doing a lot for the newbie community from the time he started. He is good at connecting different people, a motivator and a leader as well :)

Thank you so much my future whale friend... You are awesome @wanderlass!

Hi @davemccoy! Wanted to ask you about the greeters guild. Was something that I am interested in and was wondering what it pertains.
Also, I am helping out a friend who just signed up and I am trying to guide her but I feel like she could get more information from you. I am not so great at explaining things as I would hope to. If you get the chance, maybe see about inviting to the the newbie posts? @crystal-creation, she started posting just yesterday. She was having login issues yesterday through the app as she was trying to edit her posts. Anyways, when she is back on, I will try to guide her towards you and the group as well. :)

Hey @foxyspirit... the general idea behind @greetersguild is that we greet the newbies as soon as they introduce themselves and do it in a "human" way... We read their post, respond appropriately, and also help them find where to go and what to do. We have also found some really good newbies there and been able to nurture them so they don't get lost... If you want to go their discord room and talk to @terminallyill or any of the others, they are a welcoming group for sure ;) Here is the link: https://discord.gg/DmVdzsJ

And I will stop by and say hi to @crystal-creation and let her know that she is welcome to ask me anything! Plus don't be afraid to get her on discord, she can DM anyone anytime for a question to be answered as well as ask any of the groups any questions too.
