Hi @themarkymark please support the #newbiresteemday and other initiatives @davemccoy has planned to help out newbies. Being a minnow is difficult but being a newbie minnow feels like being a plankton being devoured by whalesharks (well, I just used the whaleshark analogy coz real whales don't eat planktons hehe).

But seriously, we really need your help. A lot of newbies like me have been sleepless since day 1, having to juggle work/ life commitments and Steemit in order to grow in this platform. We understand that we need to make valuable contributions and we work on our content but we also need support from big people like you. Our fellow newbies support each other and we have built this newbie community as a support group but our collective influence is not yet enough as of the moment. I hope you can take a look on what @davemccoy is proposing. Thank you! :)
