I saw the importance of powering up since my first week and I am doing anything I can to reach a point where I can show people the appreciation I have for their good posts. It frustrate me to give a vote that worths $0,01.
But my principal reason to power up is to get some credit on my material. I am trying my best in all my posts, and I really want to help people, but I will be able to do that efficiently only after some good power up number.
So I kindly ask, what did you recommend to newcomers with no money to invest to do? I am trying to find good communities that are not only about upvoting to better relate to people but I am not having much luck finding one.
How can I help more people with a less than one month account?
Thank you for sharing this information.
If you don't mind, can I translate some of your posts to Portuguese? As a small and recent community, we need some material to help newcomers to understand what Steemit is and how to use it correctly. I will give you the proper credits in the translated posts if you allow me to do the job.
Thank you very much, @sndbox!
I think it's awesome that you want to help minnows move forward in steemit, but I wouldn't worry to much on the monetary value of the upvote. I think it's more valuable when you upvote content that you love regardless because it means that you are giving that steemian a vote of confidence. Another way to help is to resteem someone's posts, that's like introducing a new friend to your own circle of friends. Resteeming helps any minnow reach more viewers. The third thing is what you did here: comment, authentic comments will allow you to make friends with minnows, it's like a virtual hug in that sense. A fourth thing you can do is to make a post about a fellow steemian, maybe a "minnow of the week". Yesterday I was reading a post from someone introducing another steemian on the platform. A sort of introduce someone else to my friends, with pics of their work, or the values they bring to the community. So, don't get bummed down for your voting power, help comes in many shapes and forms ;)
Thank you very much for your comment and for all the ideas you gave me!
I know that voting value is not the only way to help but I will feel better when I reach a good SP level to do that.
I am more interested in knowing people, acquiring knowledge and bringing value to Steemit right now. I am at the very beginning and trying to rush things won't help me.
I will follow your advises and try to make some minnow's days better!
Wish you a great day and a great journey on Steemit!
Thanks, wish you the best as well!
