HAPPY STEEMING!
I know it's been said in several comments already, but I find it so amazing the willingness for people here on Steemit to help each other out. I've only been posting for about a month but found myself in a strong community called The Alliance, where a member saw my plight re bandwidth and delegated me a chunk to get through my growing pains. And, lately, I've been getting to know the people of SteemUSA. The comments I'm getting, the people who are voting and support, even tipping, crazy.
After being on Facebook for so long, which I feel is a soul corrupting place, this is a crazy breath of fresh air and has reinvigorated me to get back on track with my passion of writing and creating :) And, efforts like this, well, every little bit helps those who are lucky enough to be selected.
Either way, I'm still going to keep on creating, meeting, and building :) Thanks for helping the community out!
Facebook = soul corrupting. You've earned a 100% upvote for that ;) So true. I'll look you up on #thealliance and check out SteamUSA. I'm in Tennessee and looking to do real life events with folks that are close. My eleventh addition!
Hehe, thanks! :) Yeah, discovered that they started putting ads in the mobile messenger when I loaded up yesterday. I was like, 'wtf?' That place isn't community, it's 100% a targeted marketing platform in the guise of a meeting place. When you have to pay for your friends to see the things you post and even your mom can't find you because of an algorithm...yuck. Glad to be here and meeting cool people like you :) Can't say it enough, after the drought I've been through...a breath of fresh air.
Need to look for fellow Steemians here in LA. Get some real world connections going to build the community stronger. I'm in Gamma :)
Meetups in LA sound totally plausible. Huge city with lots of niche interests. Ever get to Nashville, hit me up.
Totally, big city, lots of people. Just need to find them, hehe. If I head your way you can expect a friendly message :) Think I have some relatives around there.
Are we talking about a larger event of Steem holders or just a local meetup type deal? I'm up in Chicago, but based on what the event it could make the drive. Also willing to help coordinate if you would like a hand putting together a larger event.
The steemit ecosystem is a really awesome one.
I've been here 3 months now and I've grown physically and mentally. The numerous posts I read every day add to to my knowledge of things. This has also enhanced my thinking and writing skills too and all other social platforms were not able to do this for me.
I've met great people here who are always willing to reach out to minnows to help them grow and today I've just met another one and that's you Mr @gomatthew. Adding people to an auto voter is not something that just happens and I thank you for this. Now those who end up on the list would be more than happy to continue posting and sharing their quality content and ideas with the community.
Have a great day man.
Sahrodion.
Cheers! I appreciate it ;) Unfortunately, I closed this round of additions to the list but will be opening up the contest again next week. Stay tuned and Steem on! (but I gave you a 100% upvote for your great comment.)
Oh thank you. I would keep my eyes peeled for the next round.
Fellow Franklin, TN guy here! (Well..actually Spring Hill but close enough.) If you are still giving them out then I will throw my name in the hat! 🎩
Yo Dayne! Awesome to meet ya. Just saw your Mantra Brewery post... @brandyb and I go there all the time. Wanna grab beers sometime this week? We're downtown Franklin near Bunganut Pig.
@daynewright
Cool! Would love to but can't this week. My wife is going out of town for work and I will be playing the role of stay at home dad for most of the week.
@daynewright Sounds pretty fun actually :) Let's connect next week. You use steemchat or Discord? I'll shoot you over my email and cell.
I have been thinking of what to write to impress you for 30mins now. No gimmickry, I will be honest. I am new to steemit. I am in a learning process. My reputation is 28. When your reputation was 28, do you remember how stressful it can get. What if at that time someone gave you a little power that motivated you to carry on? Your upvote is just a bot, but for me it is more than that. It is the motivation to carry on and contribute to this platform and when one day I build a similar reputation as yours, I do the samething as you are doing, giving back to the community. If you think I am a genuine candidate for this opportunity then please do mention me. If you think I am not then still I am going to follow and upvote your posts. Why? Because you went through most of the phases on steemit and you might know who deserves what. Lastly, whatever my luck is, I still appreciate your concern for the minnows. Thank You.
It's really stressful to come up with content and original ideas and take time to craft your story and check your spelling. And then nobody voting on it or or valuing it. Appreciate you being open and honest about it.. I get frustrated still. I had 20 spots open and ended up filling 34. I'll be posting again on Sunday for 20+ more spots. Let's get you a spot next week and I'll be checking your posts until then for some upvote opportunities. Cheers man!
Thank You and @gomatthew you are spot on. Moreover, I was reading about a footballer sometime ago. He move from a big club to a not so big club. When asked in a interview why he did that, he said ''I had the money to buy a Lamborghini and I did, but after driving for a week you get bored because this is not something that drives me, football drives me and I was not getting regular playing time, so I moved.'' Therefore, for me money on steemit is part of the incentives that drives you, but it is not everything. I wanted to start a blog for ages and I got a platform for free, plus they are paying you instantly. But you have to work really hard, gather all the emotions one ever faced and channel it to make something amazing and great.
I do not know if I can still qualify for this because I do not see a resteem option now, perhaps because it's past the 7 day payout period, but nonetheless if you would consider me I would be grateful. I have been on Steemit now for a short 25 days but and working on developing my blog into something that can reach a wide audience. I am still very much new to the blogging world and to Blockchain but as I grow and learn I try to share my knowledge with others. I've accumulated a little over 700 followers in this short time which encourages me to keep going and makes me feel like I'm doing something right. Of course any help from others is always appreciated. I have been working hard to produce content and learn proper formatting and am getting better with each post. Thank you for your consideration.
good job, hope i will be in the list :)
Check back next week when I open up 20 more slots. I hope you can get in then, cheers!
Wow this is a nice initiative. Will really help the minnows who put up quality posts grow and encourage them to keep contributing to the steemit community. Even if I don't win, I just wanted to commend you on it.
I would like to nominate myself and also ask what is your definition of creating content on a regular basis. Is it like once a week or thrice a week?
And thanks again for doing this. Have a great week
My twelfth addition! Congratz. If you're posting once a week something that adds value to the community, you'll continue to earn my vote on every one of your posts.
With all the whale wars going on this is a great concept.
Thanks for the idea, I hope it helps overcome the negativity the whales are causing.
As an example I saw the following posted the other day. I have no idea how this could be fixed in Fork20. But at least your idea is moves in the right direction.
Thanks
Post by OP.
Here is another Asian Sensation.. smashing the pool..
@ sweetsssj is using some +760,443.956 in delegated SP to upvote 12 accounts on a daily basis. All accounts are upvoted on the 6th day.
From what I can see there are a total of 12 accounts that are being upvoted on the 6th day and every one of them makes a daily withdrawal to the same bittrex number. The accounts are:
@ honeybee @ helgachen @ serenawu @ ashely056
@ wisemansays @ twinkledrop @ amylee @ maysun
@ allanlong @ sherrychan @ trendylife @ thecatfiles
It seems like she is farming upvotes from these accounts with her delegated steem power. Most of the accounts make 4-5 posts a week so lets do a little math and assume they all make 4 posts.
One 100% upvote = ~$300
$300 x 4(posts) = $1200 per week/account
$1200 x 12(accounts) = $14,400 per week
$14,400 x 0.75 = $10,800 after curation
$10,800 / 2 = 5,400SBD per week and 5,400 SP
SBD is currently worth $6.20 so 5,400 x 6.2 = $33,480 USD being taken from the reward pool weekly
Damn- that's interesting. I hadn't seen the stats on Sweetssj account.
When my friend @pjay96 told me about this great opportunity, I thought to myself that this is indeed a Steemit model and mentor. i appreciate @gomatthew for this
You're the 31st on the list!
this will make me a productive steemian,again lost my ,life purpose for a wile now. feel i am a waste of carbon. i dont deserve the air i breed andd,wasting resorses eating drinking, feel i am a wortless consumer of energy.so long time since my last post. autovote for a year, may motivate me posting again.
love your work autovoting.
love a fellow steemian
Man time flies, I've been on Steemit for 28 days trying to become more familiar with the different aspects of the steem ecosystem. I've been using Steemit, Dmania, Decent Memes, Dsound, and plan on using Dlive soon but like anything I know it takes time to grow on any platform. So I've been posting original blogs, writing poetry, creating memes, and commenting on fellow steemians posts it's just a very slow road to getting new followers and views of your created content. There is nothing like working on a post that no one notices because there are so many others being posted all the time, I see why people are using bots. Anyway, upvotes are great even better if it comes with added visibility for those that create.
It's a lot of hard work indeed
Networking should be your first priority (in my opinion) get to know people, so they can get to know you, find your way around, I'm mainly taking part in contests right now
It gets me started in a fun way, and the chance of a small prize is always nice, it also helps me find my way, and unlocks my creative side
Thanks for the advice, I have participated in a few contest purely by stumbling on to them but I will look into being apart of a few more it a great idea.
It's a great way to engage in this community, you can check the tag "contest" and/or "contests" or check
@artz blog, he does weekly updates on available contests , good luck & have fun out there 🤗
Great advice @cryptocatz. Contest have really helped meet new folks.
This is yet another reason I love Steemit -- the giving attitude and willingness to help each other out. I expect big things for Steem in 2018 and I think the numbers of people joining will increase.
my sixth addition!
I love this initiative of supporting others by placing them on your auto-upvote. Its like an early valentine present to the community, kudos @gomatthew for this amazing opportunity and idea.
33rd addition!
a great initiative I liked. Continue with this project and it's good
wow this is so nice of you. a 100% upvote from you will really push my steemit carrier to great heights. i ll like to nominate myself to benefit from such kind gesture from you. thank you.
my thirteenth addition!
This is a great. I would love to be on your auto upvote because it will help aid me to grow my steemit career. I post at least thrice a week mostly about motivation and health.
So I believe you will help ease my steemit and other minnows who are lacking motivation due to low upvotes.
Thanks for the opportunity.
You're the 30th on my list!
In very new to steem so this would be amazing to win... I try to post 3 times a week...ish.... but always quality
You got the last spot for the week! 32nd spot!
Heck ya!
I'm doing something similar - giving ongoing auto upvotes to other steemians whose work I appreciate. I think steemit will be a better place if we combine the power of automation with personal involvement and responsibility.
My third addition!
Hi Matthew. To support you and show my appreciation for your authentic content on steemit, I've added you to the list of steemians who get my automatic upvote. I'll check back regularly to read your posts and comment on your work.
Much appreciated @oropeso ... you've been added to my list as well. My seventh addition!
Personally, I think this is best kind of giveaway. I prefer steempower delegations and upvotes to just plain SBD giveaways.
It helps your reputation and it is a better reward of quality content.
Thank you @gimatthew for this offer, wouldn't want to miss it for anything.
My first addition!
Wow, thanks
Really lucky
That's really a good step. You are giving the community back something by encouraging them to take up the part and do something valuable. I really appreciate it.. Keep it up ..
Have a nice day ahead.!!!
My second addition !
Thanks for the addition brother. I won't let you down :D
Can I say that this is a very generous offer from you and only an idiot would not want this for themselves.... Hello I'm your idiot!! Would it be possible to nominate a friend of mine? @huw28582 is still finding his feet and he really needs all the help he can get. I'm doing OK for myself and its not that I wouldn't appreciate your 100% upvote but there are guys out there who would benefit from it more than me.
Man, you're such a thoughtful dude! Kudos to you. Both you and @huw28582 are o the list (that's quite the steemit handle btw ;) My fourth & fifth addition!
This is an interesting concept. I normally like any initiative to help small people like myself to grow and get more following. Especially when they produce niche-content, like philosophy in my case.
But I wonder how this would work. Do you check for quality of the posts? I do like the trusting element in this, so yeah, after having thought this through, I'd like to nominate myself.
And in any case, thanks for opening this door to people!
Great questions. I dedicate 1 hour per day to curation only and part of that is checking my auto-vote spreadsheet to make sure my auto votes are going to folks that create content of value and strength. If they have gone a while without posting, I'll shoot them a message to see if I can help in any way. If they abandon posting anyways, then I remove my vote and apply it to someone else. It also keeps me engaged outside of the people I usually follow. I think it benefits everyone, myself included. Welcome! My eighth addition!
Ok, that sounds like a lot of work and dedication, respect. I'm honoured to be part of your autovote. Thanks!
Actually I like vote, but I am sad because I hope you also vote or follow @abinz
I will, but you have to resteem my post
I'll get on your list because were in an alliance together and we both stack precious metals. Add that to the fact we're both creative and handsome people so the choice is obvious. I'll actually leave it up to some other lucky winners because I recently just started following you after I saw you on my posts. I'm happy if you drop by once in awhile so good luck to the others 👍😎
Clearly, we are gorgeous and have incredible taste. I actually added you to my auto post already... about an hour before I made this post.
How bout that, I'm already a winner! 🙌
It seems you found a wonderful way to give back to the community, i small group batches. Its great to see people do things like this! Thank you! 😀😀😀
My ninth addition!
Well, thank you 😀
What a great idea. It's inspiring to see all the ways that people are able to support and encourage each other on Steemit, such as this. It's totally redefining the concept of money and how it's generated and the more people see concepts such as this, the better. :D
My tenth addition!!
And also.. great point about redefining the concept of money.
Upvoted and resteemed! :) Great post to inspire us to bring value to others. Adding you to my auto upvotes.
You are my 15th addition! Look forward to your posts.
Thank you! Looking forward to following your journey as well.
Great idea! I just started adding content pretty regularly, I hope I can still qualify?
Check out my blog to see if I'd be active enough ;)
Followed!
You are my 16th addition!
Wow that's pretty cool of you to do that. Just saw your video in Cambodia blowing stuff up, that's freakin bad ass! I am following you now.
Yeah, that was a killer day. Can't wait to head back. You are my 17th addition!
Hi @gomatthew! Great initiative. I am trying to make a name on Steemit by showcasing my (usually travel-related) photography. I seem to be gaining some Steem (;-)) but I recognise that in the beginning it can be difficult, and I am still a relatively small fish in the ocean.
Personally I have a few people on my auto-vote list as well, which is great to automatically support the people that deserve your vote. I usually re-assess this list every month so as to keep it updated (i.e. are people still active and posting quality?). I have started to follow you and if I like what I am seeing I may include you on my list as well :)
Cheers, @Finance2Nomad
Sounds great friend! You're the fourteenth addition to my auto vote list! Congratz!
Way to go bro. That is awfully nice of you to do for the community.
pew pew
On the list friend! 34th spot.
It's amazing to see people that are willing to help improve the lives of people and this is why I have fallen in love with steemit and fellow steemians. @gomatthew, a whole year is alot of time and I am happy to see you not just earn from the platform but also give back. I definitely will resteeem this because the whole community deserves to see this.
I am feeling inspired by what you are doing @gomatthew and I hope to do same some day when my upvote will count
You got it man! You are my eighteeth addition!
Wow, I'm grateful. You just made my day
Auto vote is really a revelation, it would however be very awesome if the owner of vote autos can really monitor the actions of the people they put on it, most times these people knowing they are on auto vote, make posts of just two or three lines because of laziness, but I'm glad you highlighted you will monitor the content creating.
Thank you for this amazing opportunity I'm @josediccus, I'm a poet and content writer
You're welcome... and I really dig your poetry. Beautiful. You are my nineteenth addition!
I'm so elated thank you so much
I would be a great addition. I am a regular poster that has good content. I also stack a little, lol.
Then you're on the list! My 20th addition!
@gomatthew this is a fab idea. I've only found Steemit recently and still finding my feet. I've just started posting and reading/following some really interesting posts and people here. This place is so much better than facebook. Thanks
Thank you.. it's a wonderful place to express yourself and find people of common interest. I just ceebrated my first year! Oh... and you're the 21st on the list!
do not expect much, hopefully I'm lucky. :)
Keep posting and see how your wellbeing increases. You're the 22nd on the list!
want to appreciate @gomatthew for this friendly gesture. Truly this is what steemit is about, giving back to the community and help others grow
Keep posting! You're the 23rd on my list!
I think there should me more quality giveaways like this ... Thank you!
you're 24th on the list!
Thank you
I'll call this the attribute of a true steemain. The community apprecaites you @gomatthew . Am sure we are yet to see the best
Upvoted!
Resteemed!
Followed!
25th on the list!
I am amazed at this leveled ground opportunity for all , i have no doubt this will go far to help all who may have quality post yet no relevant recognition. thanks @gomatthew I personally appreciate this opportunity
Absolutely! You're 26th on the list!
Wow, this I one. Of the nicest thing that have ever happened in steemit . With this minnows like us can have a chance growing in dolphins.and eventually to Wales. To better this community. Thanks very much.
You're 27th on the list!
Appreciate this initiative. I would like to apply for a slot if you think I deserve it. Irrespective of whether I am chosen or not, I would request you to select authors who have have less Steem Power but good reputation, who work hard and contribute through both posts and comments and most importantly who don't spam.
I am very new here and any such aid would help me go a long way on my Steemit journey.
If you select me, I promise that I will do my level best to keep your faith. Please check my profile to see the few posts and many comments I have made and select or reject me based on that.
Thanks again.
You got it! Keep posting! You're 28th on the list!
Thank you, I will definitely keep posting :)
Congrats
Nice initiative !
Thank you ;)
Is the contest open to anyone? Or just steemsilvergold members? I'd love to be in the club eventually but I probably post to many rocks and jewelry posts to be accepted. Also my steempower is pretty dismal... Lol
Open to anyone!
And this auto-vote reward is exactly for folks like you.. so just do the 3 steps and you'll be 29th on the list.
Thanks so much for the opportunity then. I really appreciate all the support this community has shown me in my short time here. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to my knowledge on cryptos, and this place has a vast amount of information, on cryptos as well as everything else. I really want to get into hand pouring some silver art myself. I'm a silversmith that does mostly fabricated silver work. I've been fascinated with all the beautiful silver castings some of your members are creating. I'll do my homework and step up my game. Thanks again for your generosity
done
Thank you again. This is the best contest I've seen yet.
I'm just happy because i had a similar idea but i have so little reputation, i can't even help myself yet but wish to help others. I believe @gomatthew that this will help this community grow larger. Thanks for this great initiative. I only joined steemit 2 weeks back and i wish this idea had come earlier than now. Thanks again.
That's awesome that you joined Steemit, you'll like it here. Unfortunately, I closed this round of additions to the list but will be opening up the contest again next week. Stay tuned and Steem on!
Not everyone would want to show such an act of benevolence. Though I'm still a newbie, but I no with time, I'll get balanced properly. Most importantly with someone like you around and that mega upvote. Wowwww. I'll get there. Really appreciate the good work u're doing. Big fan.
I appreciate it ;) Unfortunately, I closed this round of additions to the list but will be opening up the contest again next week. Stay tuned and Steem on!
No problem, thanks once again for the initiative.
@gomatthew thanks for your wonderful initiative. I will like to be part of your list if there is still any slot available. It is people like you that gives us hope to keep steeming
Hey! Thanks for your interest. Check back next week when I open up 20 more slots. I hope you can get in then, cheers!
