Almost 200 manually curated introduction posts! - A view back at the first week of @welcoming!

Introduction

It has been a little over a week, since I introduced @welcoming to the world of STEEMIT! I hope many of you have checked it out and looked it up. If you haven't, it's definitely not too late!

It's never too late to grow this community!

What has happened since the launch?

In the past eight days, I have manually curated and resteemed close to 200 introduction posts, done under the #introduceyourself tag. In order to do that, I have viewed many more.

Due to your help, most of those posts have gone over 5$. Many went way higher.At this point, I need to give a huge "Thank you!" to @acidyo, who has helped out by voting on almost all of the resteemed posts. Minnows, that's the guy you need to thank! With the recent SBD prices, most of those newbies should be able to gain a little bit of power so that their upvote has a little more weight!

The account @welcoming has also gained a lot of power itsself. Due to the success of the first post about this project (a huge "Thank you!" to all supporters), I was able to send 500 STEEMPOWER directly to @welcoming - Those SP are going to be used for newbies, nothing else!

I have also planned to make a weekly video on DTube where I will be sharing some highlights of new users and how they did in their first week on steemit!


What is planned for the future?

The core of this is going to be the same - @welcoming is of course continuing to resteem the introduction posts of promising newbies.

Since I have had to deal with fkae posts/idendity theft/... a lot in those days, I will focus on growing my knowledge in this areas so that I don't miss one :) All of those I see, are getting reported to @steemcleaners!

I have a few ideas on how to make the impact by @welcoming even bigger, but theyneeds your help!


How you can help:
  • Follow @welcoming and upvote posts you like: This part doesn't need explanation I guess ;) Helping this platform grow will be one of the key things for it's future success!

  • Delegate SP to @welcoming: You could also help the project by delegating some Steempower to @welcoming. I promise, that the account will never upvote anything else than manually curated introduction posts. Of course the curation rewards from @welcoming will be given to the delegators according to their percentage of the whole account's power!

  • Upvote this post! Like I have done with the first post, all liquid rewards of this post will be converted to STEEM and powered up to the account @welcoming!

  • Tell me your ideas! Do you have an idea what I could do better? Just tell me, when can talk about everything!


Conclusion:

The manual resteeming via @welcoming is working well, I hope I can keep it up ;)
If you want to support me, check how you could above!

Sort:  

Try keeping @welcoming SP above 80% to make more efficient use of it.

That's is of course the plan ;) Thx again for the huge delegation! Wrote you on steemit.chat btw! Greets!

What a great project @welcoming is, thanks for bringing this account to my attention ive just gone and delegated 970ish steem power to the account and hope it can be put to good use

It will for sure be put to great use, thx for the generous delegation! As of now, 2/3 of @welcoming curation rewards become yours! Greets!

Wow! That's very kind of you Sir... Thank you so much!

Wow, looks like I joined steemit at the perfect time! I had no idea this page was so new! Thank you for your help :D

Thanks for sharing those insights @theaustrianguy . Us new steemians are being helped :)

Awesome stuff you're doing been trying to do something similar for Nigerians for days now..

How?

Every week, I go through the tag "Nigeria", collecting newbies' posts and exhibiting them on TRC (THE RED CARPET) by @onequality curation team. TRC is just the name we've decided to give the initiative... I'd love if we could work something out on expansion... This would help us reach out to more people..

Cheers!

PS: I'm

Nice idea to support the new Steemians.
You are a great part of this community.

It's been an honour to be featured in this. Amazing project and great way to welcome some of the new Steemit crew

This is a great project.. thanks alot to people like you. Newbies like us can get noticed...

Buenisimo la idea es genial felicidades

Really nice for new users like me :) Thank you.

Really glad to see positive feedback from one it actually is for :)

Hey man, I’ve really been enjoying @welcoming, it’s a vital service imo. Should be everyone’s default follow!

Glad you like it and seem to follow it :)

It’s just nice to have a constant stream of new faces out of the mass of noise that is introduce yourself. I’ve been recommending it to a fair few too!

Thx dude, that's awesome!

Great effort for the community man, I don't know how you manage it with university and running and actually having a life, my hat goes off to you :)
By the way, how is the health tag curation going ?

Well, more free time due to soccer being on break right now ;) And I am getting faster :D

By the way, how is the health tag curation going ?
I try my best, however most of my attention here goes to @welcoming atm!

Thanks for your work, its a big plus for the community.
Since i followed @welcoming i saw nice posts from promising users.

I'm glad i saw this as I hadn't realised before that I needed to follow a separate account (the @welcoming!). Thanks for all the hard work! Kate

You just need to follow if you wanna enjoy the service :)

Yes I figured that out now! Thanks!

Great idea! As you know, I've only been Steeming for about 2 weeks now and I'm still trying to build a good profile by following quality users so I can see quality posts on my feed. By following @welcoming, I get to see promising posts by newbies right on my feed. Thanks for making it easy for us to discover good intro posts, @theaustrianguy!

Glad you like it - You have actually been one of the first resteemd profiles ;) Worked well, didn't it ;)?

Ooh perfect timing :D

I just joined today and I thank you for your hard-work for minnows like me.

Have a good day!

Thanks for helping out us newbies.

Upvoted and followed! Very new to the platform and thinking about posting my introduceyourself post I hope it get's some attraction by the steemit world! Thanks for sharing this opportunity :))

This is a great initiative to reduce the attrition rate of new Steemians coming on board and giving up after several valiant attempts. The platform thrives from a community of active participants. Thank you!

Hi @theaustrianguy what a great idea. Being new myself its quite overwhelming trying to figure out how to get noticed. I'd love you to check out my account and give me any tips you can share. @insideoutlet thanks for being Awesome!

Hello, I saw your description and it's almost like mine. It's nice to see a doctor on steemit also. I am new here and love how you promote us young members.

wow, fantastic. well done on all that work. i know how much time that takes to curate, but i have to say i've been really enjoying reading so much great work and seeing lots of smiling faces come to the platform recently!

Great you like what I resteem :)

Thank you for the resteem. This is an awesome idea - thanks for making this community even more awesome.

Impressive! It's such a great project to encourage newbies like me. I feel lucky and honored that my self-intro post is 1 of the resteemed 200 =) Big thank you to you @theaustrianguy and @acidyo !

@theaustrianguy thank you for being so supportive of minnows by creating @welcoming to help upvote minnows thereby given them a chance to earn some steem power and sbd which is to be converted into steem and power up.

When i joined steemit i wasn't quite aware of the importnace of #introducingyourself nor how to go about it.
However, now that i know about it i hope its not too late to do so.
