This project was started by over a month ago and various people have joined in to support it. The overall object is to get to 10,000 minnows on Steem. There is no deadline for this, but end of this year would be great. The current figure is 9318 according to stats from
.
came up with a target of creating 250 new minnows in a month. Getting the total up is hard as so many people are powering down.
If we do a count of how many people have moved from redfish to minnow, then we have achieved her goal. There are five days left, so there is a chance to make a few more new minnows.
What we need to do is to encourage people to power up and stick with Steem. It may seem a struggle to make much, but if you make it fun then you will want to come back, as you would on platforms that do not pay you. At least on Steem you can make something.
For those striving to become minnows:
- Do not power down.
- Power up all the Steem and Steem Dollars you have.
- Make sure you have a few posts each week that people can vote on.
- Make good comments that can earn votes.
- Enter contests that pay out Steem and SBD.
- Use your votes to support other redfish. You have 10 full votes each day if you want your voting power to fully recharge.
- Buy some Steem and power it up if you can. The price could easily go much higher.
For Dolphins, orcas and whales:
- Support the smaller accounts who are doing good work. We need more of them to make Steem viable.
- Delegate to redfish who are doing good curation.
- Buy @SteemBasicIncome shares for redfish. You earn from those too.
- Resteem good posts that deserve more support.
If the bigger accounts can get by with fewer self-votes and a little less curation rewards from supporting the more popular users they can make a big difference to the 'small fry'.
We all benefit from a larger active Steem community. It is what we need to make it an attractive platform for those who seek an audience.
Steem on!
Update: Why did I type 250 in a week! That would be really ambitious. Fixed the title, but the URL will remain.
