Hello fellow steemians, I welcome you to my blog today. I hope you’re doing great. Today, I am organizing my first ever steemit contest. It’s aim is to give back to the steemit community for the support I have received so far, especially, being a member of the Steemit School has inspired me a lot and I want to put in my best to succeed here.
Why This Contest?
The idea of this competition is to help newbies and minnows find their footing on steemit. I am a steemian with a strong passion to support newbies and minnows on steemit. There are many minnows who put in so much effort, post blogs with quality content yet with little visibility and low payout. This could be discouraging and you might be tempted to quit steemit, but I’m here to encourage you by giving you free SBD so you can be inspired. Steemit is a journey and I bet you you won’t get to the top in one day. It would take you courage, determination, persistence and commitment to achieve your dreams here. There are many wonderful people with good hearts to support your growth, and I encourage you to find such people and make friends with them.
Because of that, I decided to organize this contest to support. And I will encourage you to
keep an eye on more contests to come from me.
