A Crazy man's Dream
So I've been meaning to create a system that guides a steemit user on how best to grow on steemit, with it's focus on short term and long term goals. From baby steps to giant leaps, each step taking you closer to your destination as well as guiding you so that you do not stray away. We would all agree that "failure to plan is a plan to fail." If you've ever used wattpad, you'll see that when you register newly, you'll be shown a list of book categories and asked to select the ones that interest you so that subsequently as new books are released, related books are suggested to you and that way you stick to what you like, only that this time around, you don't have to go looking for a nice book among so many, they are selected for you.
Relating this to steemit, there is a large daily influx of posts and they are never ending. You could see posts of an amazing dog or a beautiful portrait, maybe a well crafted poem or some funny video from youtube. Depending on what your interests are, you may or may not be keen on viewing those. You may think "well, that's what tags are for" true! but what if like wattpad, you didn't have to go look for, but rather you received suggestions? wouldn't that be awesome? not just for you, but also for those great posts which get buried way down in the steemit sea of posts.
Also, in the area of setting goals, we sometimes find ourselves lost for things to post about, we then may move on to scouring the steemit platform for contests just so that we get to make a post, sometimes you see something that you can partake in and sometimes you don't. My proposition in this area is to create an environment that caters for a majority if not all of our engagement needs by setting daily tasks for each and everyone to partake in.
How would this work? - Daily Tasks
Using the theme: "Birds" for example, if you are a poet, or you love poetry, then under #NRDpoetrydaily, the task could be to make a post about birds. If you love memes, then under #NRDmemedaily, the task would be to construct memes with a selected bird picture and so on. For those of you already in the NRD Discord channel, a chat room would be created, where themes can be suggested and every first day of the week, the different themes for every day of the week would be listed out. This would benefit those who usually have a tight schedule during the week as it would enable you draft posts down prior to the day of posting and all you would need to do is post them on the set day.
How Suggestions will be carried out - NRD SUGGESTS
Every day will feature five newbie posts on 10 different select tags, there will be a separate post created just for this, there you can go to any tag of your choosing and take a look at the posts (suggestions). Of course, you are still free to explore the steemit platform however you want to but this initiative will provide you with exciting reads suggested just for you!
Benefits
The NRD's primary function is that of a resteem service, we aim to promote newbies, then, well, let's do that! as an NRD member, you could support us by resteeming the posts daily for all of your followers to see, and that way, you will attract and help expand the NRD.
A platform will be created for curators to suggest posts worthy of being listed among the NRD SUGGESTS and get rewarded.
A lot of marginalization and limitations that stem from being a newbie in the way of posts publicity will be reduced, In a week, if you make good posts, at least one is bound to be featured!
It will promote steemit commitment and encourage steemians to make good curate-worthy posts.
The NRD will grow bigger and become more recognized.
For the steemit community, we will see less inactive users (fishes leaving the sea to find a pond).
What WE Need
There are more benefits that we will see, but first, the idea has to be implemented and for that, a lot is required in the way of Sponsorship.
Here I am calling all the big movers, whales and dolphins that care to support this initiative in the way of delegated SP, UPVOTES, FOLLOWS AND RESTEEMS. In whatever way you can press to make this a success, you'll be doing a whole lot of good to the steemit community!
To my fellow NRD Members and our founders, I hope you take an interest in this initiative and help push for it's actualization. There are still a lot of things that are yet to be put in place with all your help, I know we can make the NRD bigger, better and more exciting!
Thanks for stopping by!
