Starting today I'll be resteeming more newbie and minnow posts to over 7000 followers in an effort to give those posts more opportunity to be seen.
(This is not a project. It's just something I've decided to do for my followers.)
Qualifications...
1. You must already be past the "Introduction" stage.
I've resteemed many posts before that use the introduction tag, but I won't be doing that anymore.
A lot of newbies do ok with their first introduction post, but it's from that point where things get hard.
So I'll be looking through my feed for my followers who are beyond that stage and have good articles that could benefit from some more eyeballs.
2. You should have under 500 SP (Steem Power).
I'm not making that a hard rule. If I see one of my followers with 1200 SP (for example), and it's a great post, I'll resteem it.
But I'm giving preference to minnows and complete newbies who have less than 500 SP.
3. Your post should have a little traction already.
My resteems have had the most impact for posts that have been getting some views and upvotes before I've seen it.
You don't need to have hundreds of upvotes, however, just some indication that your post has been seen and liked by some people.
I won't be looking at the dollar amount that your posts have generated. I don't care about that.
What you can expect...
More views and more upvotes!
You'll get more views and more upvotes without a doubt, but keep in mind that it doesn't necessarily mean you'll make a lot more money.
The amount of money you'll make from a big resteem still depends on the people who view your post.
You might make only a few pennies more or several dollars more.
You'll probably get some new followers too if they like you. :)
I'll be resteeming between 3 to 6 posts from newbies and minnows on my followers list every day, but I'll be resteeming each one at different times of the day.
Please don't contact me to do a "scheduled" resteem and don't submit to me a post to check out.
I'll be deciding when to post each resteem and I'll be choosing the posts by scrolling through my feed only.
I'm limiting resteems to 3-6 per day so I don't flood my followers' feeds with a lot of my resteems.
I like it! I have been using higher %age of voting power for newbies. It takes time to build a following and have more upvotes. I also have resteemed a few. I like your idea very much.
That's awesome! Maybe you could follow me so you can see my blog post. Just sayin'...no pressure.
You know what I don't understand? Some people can just come sliding in here and on their first introduction post, they earn a lot of money. Especially women and I guess I can understand why but gee's, c'mon.
I understand your frustration. I have aeen others make a lot on their 1st post too. It takes time and patience. I made more from commenting and upvoting than through posting. As you get more followers i believe you will see a change. Also as your steem power builds it helps increase your earnings. I was lucky to have bought a lot of steem at around 16 cents...
Just dont give up. Keep reading, commenting, and upvoting...as you get more people seeing your post hopefully you will see an increase.
Also, enjoy this journey through steemit, and earnings will follow. No problem following you.
Thank you for the advice and for following me too. I will follow back. I am having fun here and I love this site so the money will follow.
I am looking forward to having more time to work on blogging here. I work 7 days a week and some are long hours. At 65 years old i want to now have more time here and working in my shop and garden.
I have interacted with people all over the world...facinating experience. I see the potential to undo the negative impressions that world leaders tend to present about othwr countries. Us citizens are not all that different. So now we build a new community and culture here on steemit.
This is a great community and yes, it's too bad how countries, at least here in the US, make other countris look bad. It's all an illusion.
Oh, should have read this before I posted the other comment, If gardening is a passion then please check out my blog, gardening is one of my most obsessive hobbies ;)
Your suggestions are quite valuable indeed, I am a newbie and has just started my steemit journey, so im working diligently to get some good achievement out here
@r2cornell what a positive and empowering response to read! I am new to Steemit but the kind of generosity and kindness that I have seen so far is astounding. I appreciate your advice as a newbie... I am still trying to get the hang of this whole thing. Last week I was outside from sun up to sun down planting and frolicking in our beds and since I got this, I haven't left my office! ;) Thanks for shining some light in the world and reminding me to go check on my seedlings!
Thank you so much. Welcome to a wonderful site. I have been at this for around 4 months and still have a lot that I am learning about this site. I am following you and I re-steemed your intro post. I work 7 days a week and do not get as much time on steemit as I would like. I appreciate your kind words.
It seems to have a little bit of a learning curb for someone like me who is completely new to all this but it's been fun getting acquainted with it and having a place to jot down my thoughts and ideas ;) I love writing and I love reading the writing of others so I am happy to be here. Thanks for following and helping me share my words :) I really appreciate it <3
Just wanted to say thanks for the advise, it is daunting looking at the gap us newbies have to cross, and to read comments like this and those above is very encouraging, so thanks :)
Hey @mikej I just got Steemit so I don't have much (well any) of a following, but I hear and see the struggle so I'm following you! :)
That's a nice thing to do. I'm still a newbie for now, but if one day I get the power to help other newbies then I will.
Thanks. That's great you're doing that to help newbies. :)
Resteemed this one for you @r2cornell (nice photos):

How can you change the %age ??
An amazing inṭiative. As a Minnow just 7 days old,I do appreciate such support.
I would be honoured if you take a look at my blogs. I believe I qualify as per your criteria. Your comments will be very much appreciated.
I'll be taking a look at many blogs starting today sometime (It's night where I live, so it will be tomorrow in my timezone).
This is going to be an ongoing thing for me, long term. I can only do so much by myself, but I'll be giving it my best effort to help as many as I can.
Thank you. If you need any support please feel free to let me know. I can support with legwork as needed. I would love to provide support for this excellent initiative.

Wow. Such prompt response and support. You are amazing. Left a comment to thank you on my post too.
Hope it helps. I'll be resteeming some more posts from others tomorrow, but it's about 2 a.m. where I live. Going to dreamland soon. :)
I am glad that I may have the opportunity to be resteemed by you. I am in steemit for 2-3 days and struggling about what content should I write. You said you would resteem posts with a little traction, I hope I am one of it. But if not, I am going eveluate the content I have created. It is generous for experienced user helping newbie like me, thank you for the chance!
It doesn't need to have a lot of traction. A few comments or upvotes - just so I can identify it as something that isn't spam or too thin, I'll take a look. But I won't be able to see every post unfortunately.
Great !!!!
Help me ...I m in swimming pool and don't know how to swim..save me
Thank you so much!
Nice cat!
Thanks you:)
That's great! I'm sure those resteemed will be thankful.
Hi Joan, That is such a kind offer, every day I am on steemit I feel more and more touched by the kindness of the community - sometimes it's hard for us newbies to get going on the ladder! I've got some steempower as I invested $2,000 but still finding it hard to get my posts read - the one I posted today seems to have some good interest but still not a very wide readership - perhaps you could consider it for resteeming? https://steemit.com/health/@willstephens/seeing-my-anger-as-mine-working-to-transform-it-take-2
Not to worry if not, Thanks and Smiles, Will ;-))
Excellent post. Resteemed it. :)
Congrats on nearly 10,000 followers! However it is a little different considering the top 2 Steemit accounts have followed tens of thousands to get there (follow 4 follow is okay.. it doesn't really help with engagement) but it is still something none the less!
Thanks. Yeah, it's different than "earning" the followers by posting. I've never had an interest in being a daily blogger, but I'm interested in the success of the platform and in the vision Dan and Ned have for it.
Thanks! That's really awesome of you, so awesome that I'm resteeming your post to all my 28 followers :p but seriously, could use your help https://steemit.com/photography/@lenscape/travel-photography-101
Resteemed this one...

Thank you! Really appreciate it :)
Cool idea! I think I can speak for a lot of minnows that it's a great idea and I'll be lying if I said that I am not interested myself.
wow 7k followers :)
First I was thinking I read wrong.... congrats! When we setup the Steem Racing Team (lol - see my last post) I will beg for one, haha.
nice work Joan.. Followed..
Awww thank you Joan of Arc, you're such a beautiful person..! I'm not submitting any posts here but I would love it if you could take the time to have a listen to my original songs. If I could just get more followers and listeners I'd be happy. :)
Sure. I just checked out your profile. You're doing pretty good. Great start! :)
I want to know you re opinion about my profile as well joanaltres thank you in advance !!!!
Your profile looks good, and you've already got some posts. Good job! :)
Thank you joanaltres for you honest review i appreciate it from the bottom of my heart
Yeah I've been fortunate with upvotes, but the most satisying thing is when you move someone, and you can tell when you've really done that from the comments they leave. If you have a listen maybe you'll be moved too..? You might be surprised! =P

Thank you so much you wonderful lady!! X
Thanks in advance
That's a very noble use of your "power" and as you said the responsible use of your power will surely boost the confidence of the newcomers. Keep up the good job.
You're awesome for wanting to help out your fellow steemit followers! Keep up the great work ;-)
This post was very funny. Great photos. :) Resteemed it a few minutes ago.

You bring such a wonderful piece of article
Your thought process is very unique from the others.
I like reading your articles and love to upvote them.
Upvoted and followed
Nice to follow you
Thank you. That's very kind. :)
I just read a post where this guy totalgyan was called out for plagiarizing and this is appears to be his standard comment to leave. Can't speak to the complete accuracy of the claim, but might be worth checking out. See if it's true and if he maybe turned over a new leaf.
Thanks for the heads up. Plagiarizing is a big no-no here and shouldn't be awarded. I've seen some introduction posts recently that looked bogus also.
Welcome :)
Removed my upvote on the comment from @totalgyan.
@allasyummyfood caught him at plagiarism.
Yes, that's where I saw it. Hard to go back and finds some things on the phone app, especially when you working ;)
Great work, and many thanks you have decided to do something about it. 👍 upvoted

OhEmGee I would greatly appreciate this. I have been a struggling minnow for a while now and would be ever so grateful :-)

Great Idea, I hope i'm lucky enough to have at least one of my posts resteemed, I think they're deserving anyways but i may be bias haha. Kudos on this new initiative!

I'm happy to read you @joanaltres are assisting our efforts! 😃
We newb fish are resteeming and upvoting ourselves, and I posted about the don't dos and stop doing what seasoned steemians call "begging" for upvotes.
I hope the message reach all minnows because we are not meant to remain minnows forever 😃
Thank you for your wonderful efforts and thank you for being here
Cheers!
That's right. The minnows need to support each other. No need for begging. People coming in just a few months from now will look to the current minnows and newbies for encouragement and support.
Good point, One day I'll be the "seasoned steemian". I will do my best!
That would be wonderful for the strugling ones like me and loved your post sorry dont have much to upvote with.
Resteemed this one for you, @bigbear...
https://steemit.com/life/@bigbear/to-give-or-not-to-give-that-is-the-question
Thank you that is sooooo kind of you.
Thank you @joanaltres, that is very kind of you!
I'm still a total minnow. Looking forward to interacting and posting a lot of cool, valuable stuff here.
I have yet to post my first post, I will be posting my 'IntroduceYourself' post shortly. Just waiting for my vid from Big Mike...(I'm excited!)
I understand you focus on posts published after the intro post. I intend to post a lot of quality posts about travel, productivity and yoga/meditation in the coming months. Thanks for considering me when you go through your followers list.
I'll be following you. Also upvoted your post, although it's just baby steps with my voting power atm.
No wonder you have so many followers. If you do this, you help good posts to stand out in the noise made by low quality posts who beg for followers.
Great job! Keep up the good work
Thank you!
Awesome thank you very very much... This would be a true help :)

That´s a really cool thing to do!
I´ve noticed this communitiy is very much about helping eachother. I love that!!
Inspiring!
That really is what it's all about. So many here have been doing it from the beginning - @stellabelle, @papa-pepper, @teamsteem, @thecryptofiend, and many, many more... It's a great community.

You might be taking a look at my blog. I think there are some posts tha could use your attention ;)
Phew! Looks like I've been following you for a bit. Upvoted. :-)
Hi @joanaltres
Thank you for people like you that help us newbies out. I think my posts might still fall in the too thin side, but learning so much during my time here.
Wow,you are very thoughtful and kind!!!thank you!

This is a great project!
glad that I may have the opportunity to be resteem by you. I'm on steemit since yesterday and struggling about what content should I write. Altougth I made already some content! 😊
Awesome! I love your idea and wish I was in a better position to do the same! Not to say I won't tag you when I do the same once I establish a better follower base here. I recently joined and wrote an article on how I turned $5 bitcoin investment into $263 the past few weeks.
@brandonvogel thanks for the upvote!
I didn't have an interest in cryptocurrencies before I joined steemit, yes steemit is the "gateway drug" for pushing cryptocurrencies to non-users LOL 😃
Moments ago I received my 1st payout as I enter my 8th day with steemit!
You're very welcome and congratulations on your recent successes! I look forward to reading more of your future content.
You did that with just $5? That's a big ROI. :)
Just pure angel.
God bless @joanaltres
@joanaltres: I thought you might like to keep this as a little souvenir. I happen to be at your channel when you hit 11111 followers...
ch @globocop
Yes, thanks! I was going to grab a screenshot of it myself, but I waited too long, and it was already 11113 when I checked. Kind of commemorates the time I had the most followers on Steemit and ranked #1, because who knows how long that's going to last. A lot of fast movers coming up behind me. Lol. :)
Yep. https://steemwhales.com/ ranks you No. 1 in Followers. Congrats! :)
It's some achievement! Happy Weekeend. 😇 Stay Blessed!
I'm going to resteem this for you now...(but the results are up in the air. Saturdays haven't been great for resteems lately).
https://steemit.com/steemit/@globocop/quick-guide-to-saving-images-on-steemit
Thanks @jonaltres A lot of people got to see the post - and I got quite a few new followers. As of today >300
Have a splendid week!
ch @globocop
I resteemed your other article too just now and left a comment and it disappeared, plus it looks like the resteem didn't go through either. Something glitchy is happening to Steemit.
Hello @joanaltres
Yes there is. Look at this comment from @richq11!
Will need to bring this to the witnesses attention, I will write a quick post on it right now.
Thank you for trying to resteem the other article (Opinions?). 😎
Hello Joan, can you please stop spamming people using so many hundreds or thousands of transfer memos? Thanks.
Sending messages to followers isn't spamming. People who don't want to receive messages anymore can unfollow. That's what the unfollow button is for.
As of yesterday morning, 250 examples per page times the last 51 pages.
This is most definitely spam buggering up the blockchain, no matter what any distracters or supporters of her services may rationalize or justify it as.
@joanaltres, can go ahead and do her thing. I'm not trying to demand she stop doing whatever. Simply stating the only way I see of opting out of participation in her little spam-fest is to unfollow and possibly mute her. Simple.
Yet this still leaves an issue of cluttered wallets and buggered up blockchain space.... I sincerely hope she would just....
All the more reason for needing some talented support of the #calibrae project (imho).
Hello @joanaltres i just wanted to say thank you, I am new to steemit and just started following people. Out of the hundred or so that i followed you are the only one that has followed me back. I think this site is great and see that your actions speak volumes to the posts that you create. Thank you again and God Bless!
Congratulations @joanaltres!
Your post was mentioned in my hit parade in the following category:
Hey, great! Thanks for letting me know, @arcange. I'll resteem that post here in just a bit. :)
Hey @joanltres, thanks a lot! Really appreciated.
I also try to help newbies and minnow and daily publish the "Hit-parade for beginners".
Today's edition will be out in a few minutes. A resteem of this one will be helpful.
To give you an idea on what it is, here a link to the previous edition.
Yes, I'm familiar with your work, but I haven't seen the "Hit-parade for beginners" before. That's really great you're doing that, @arcange. I'll resteem that one too. :)
Really cool. I really appreciate your personal initiative.
Together, we will really help all the newcomers. Makes me happy!
Thank you so much... tell me if there's something I can do for you :)
That is very charitable of you to do. I'm sure it will be appreciated by those lucky enough to be resteemed.
Good idea !!
Followed. Upvoted.
Follow me back guys, I will do the same 😘
Perfect for starters like me.
I hope some of my posts will get your attention as I am getting good views on few posts specially related to crypto currencies.
Nice to have people in a community that care for starters.
Keep it up
Resteemed this one a couple minutes ago. A really good newbie beginner guide. :)
