So, i still have quite a lot to learn still from this platform ; Which is why i am actually making this post - it is to help all of the minnows starting out, just to share some information from newbie to newer newbie .
This will be quite a long post, and some sections have very useful information, although some sections may not be relatable for your current status in the steemit platform, so just skip ahead, or if you feel like you may have missed something - read the full article, some services may help you .

The service you provide is your own content - what you decide to write about .
But what about other services, im sure many of you have seen quite a number of them, like the smaller ones that share your post with their followers, or upvotes, or delegated SBD ; more on that later .

Now your content must be very informative ; lots of detail, and make sure you get the readers to engage !
Always look for the reply that contributes to the conversation, engage your audience .
that is your service, you must be as at your best to service them as possible if they have questions or wish to start a project or engage your post in anyway .

With that being said - Here are some of the services that i have found useful for Followers and Resteems and even upvotes !

First is the followers ; now this one itself is a referral program, and i will be using my referral link so that it helps everyone, this is usually only for anyone with (25) - (50) reputation, those who are just starting out and do not have any followers quite yet, or would like to obtain more followers, without actually releasing any content just yet .
Very easy steps to follow, and its very helpful in the beginning, basically you put yourself on this list, and follow a decent number on the list ; then wait ; other people will join this list and do the same, and you will obtain followers ; you will even be given a referral link just like the one below ; you can use it much in the same way i am currently using - and send people to the list to have the rate of followers you obtain grow in numbers, meaning everyone on the list gets followers much faster .

Now once you have some followers, you will eventually be making posts ; although not all of your posts will make any kind of impact ; sometimes the introduction posts can make a fair amount although it is nothing to shake a stick at unless you have a lot of influence .
So with that being said - youll need to attract some attention with the use of some Resteem services - i have found a number of them that are very usefull ; some are free - although some are in need of a small transaction through your wallet, some ask to transfer 0.001 ; while others ask for 0.1 ; and even a few ask for 1.0 SBD for the service .
So before we get into the names - i would like to again use a few other referral links ; that will help you obtain SBD .

The first link is this one here | --- >

It looks a little bit more professional then the next one, although there is one requirement to use it ; and that is to send the creator a small fee ; although you can collect a small amount of Bitcoin / Dash / Litecoin every hour, this platform also helps you trade between the three ; so it makes things a little easier .

The next one has actually helped me a lot more then the link above ; and only because i can set this up to watch a few videos and leave the house, or fall asleep - and you can collect ANY kind of currency you wish, or even recommend others if your currency is not in the list .

Now that the affiliate links are out of the way - and you have obtained some SBD ; its time to make your post, and send some of that to others for their services .
Now i am always looking for more services ; so if anyone uses some that are not on the list - feel free to add them it would be greatly appreciated !

I must make one note - to not continue to use the same services over and over again ; it helps to expand your horizon and im sure others would appreciate the help as well
and for any of the names ive dropped ; please feel free to upvote and resteem - it helps spread the word !

The first set of resteem services -
Some are fairly straight forward like ; @freeresteem <-- this one is free !

@resteemyourpost
Sending them SBD with the link of your post in the memo - will share your post with well over 1,000 followers .

Another would be @minnowpond
again using the same method as above ; send SBD ; link in memo - and they resteem your post to 5,000 followers .

Here are a few more that i have seen around ;

@abasinkanga
Once had commented on my job loss ; but provided a service ; so i had to make sure i add them to the list . very helpful and friendly - had to follow right away, keep up the great work !

@dse
Sent a transfer in my wallet ; which struck me as odd that someone would send me something after just starting out recently - im not too well known on this platform so when i saw this in my wallet i had to make sure they were added to the list as well .

And im sure if you check your wallet transfers - you may have even obtained some sort of small amount with a memo saying they provide such services .

Now for the upvote services ;

The first is a very simple bot and its free
All you need to do is type in the name, and you should get a reply
The bot itself checks to see if your content is original - so make sure you are not breaking the rules

@originalworks

Once the name has been typed the bot does the rest ; giving said upvote and moving on to the next tag .

The next is a service that requires a payment ; much the same way as the rest of them
Send SBD - along with the link in the memo

@ninjawhale

one of the first services i have actually used ; found this little gem in my memo so i thought i would send him a little bit of business .

Now another FANTASTIC service ; that is actually growing into something much more then what it was
@tipu

sending any amount of SBD will end up with rewards ; a few days ago sending a post explaining how the service works
Which you can find here -
https://steemit.com/steem/@tipu/introducing-voteme-new-tipu-feature-top-reward-your-voters

Just make sure they have the service open before sending SBD - usually they make a post when the service is up ; so just follow these service providers and make sure you keep an eye out for it !

Now - for the juicy services .
Things that are getting to be more then i expected .
Ever thought of going shopping ; or selling your items you no longer use ?

How about some STEEMIT STORES !?
Sounds strange at first, but i have actually found services that do more then just share your content and vote ;

@steemfleamarket
This one itself i found very interesting ; and may even post some of my items on this
I have plenty of collectibles and items of high value ; maybe ill end up being a whale some day soon !
You can find more information on their recent post about the service .

OF COURSE I SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST !

Now probably one of the best things i have found so far - im not too sure how many people know about it .
I joined a few months ago and have been in search for such a service since i have joined and only found it just recently .

@good-karma

You sir - are a saint .
A MOBILE APP !
how could i not find this earlier ?
it may have been my own ignorance - although now that i have found it im constantly just browsing and looking up content for no reason ; i feel like im scrolling through facebook all over again - only its a much better environment .
I LOVE THIS APP ; soon enough im going to start a project and take to the streets and make sure people know about this platform - it has to happen !

eSteem - the best social app you will ever have on your phone ; you may as well delete facebook now .

Please note that this next link to the post is just for information ; the post im sure can be reposted if Karma sees this ; and i can edit a recent post in for a little extra rewards his way .

I REALLY HOPE THIS HELPS EVERYONE - not just the minnows ; but the service providers as well - and i hope this consists of helping a brother out, with an upvote and resteem - and if you have any other services that i have not listed - please post them below in a reply - i will follow each one and make a much larger post later in the week with even more !
