The 'Push People'-initiative.
This project was born due to a simple idea. I asked myself, "would it be possible to create minnows in a rapid way, to ultimately empower the entire platform?" - The platform's response was incredible and we've already pushed 11 people in total.
However, due to the amazing success we've had, and due to my current situation, I'm no longer in a position where I'm able to search this entire platform for good, eligible candidates to push. Another deciding factor for these changes was the fact that I might have looked biased in my selection, as I picked people based on my own opinion and feelings.
I never received any complaints, and even though everyone seemed to have been perfectly fine with my decisions, it would feel better and more "professional", if the candidates were picked without my personal opinion as the decision maker. This is why some changes have been made, but before going into that, I want to share some more details about this project.
People We've Pushed:
Users who've reached minnow-status due to our community effort.
Generous Pushers:
Users who've participated in one or more "community pushes."
Sorry in case I missed someone.
Like stated above, this "minnow-making"-project was brought to life due to the incredible response from my audience. As I have been working hard for a long period of time to support, inspire, encourage and motivate others around me, I was looking for something new to do more. I was looking for something new, fresh and cool. I was looking for something that never had been done before, at least not in the same way as I had in mind.
My goal was to create something that would operate with generosity as the driving factor. I truly believe that one simple act of kindness can create an endless ripple, so I wanted something that would be based on the 'pay it forward' mentality.
Take a look at the image above. This is the concept behind it all. In a nutshell, I brought the idea to Steemit. One small act of kindness. I paved the way, and others followed suit. Being involved in a push creates a ripple effect. Not only can I feel good about doing something for someone else, I also benefit by doing that in many different ways. At least in theory.
The only thing missing in the image above is more arrows pointing in my direction. This is a sure way to rapidly grow more users which ultimately leads to a bigger, stronger and more engaging platform, that everyone benefits from!
I know that some people look at this as pure charity, and everyone is entitled to their opinions but this is not like any other "charity events" you've seen. This is the fastest, easiest and most selfless approach to create our first real middle class on Steemit.
Requirements & Application Process
We only push active people who are dedicated and spam-free. The users we push must have less than 500 Steem Power, but preferably more than 450. We will not push people who're in the middle of a power down as that will be contradictory to our entire purpose. Reputation score doesn't matter, but people who're repeatedly getting flags will not be eligible for a community push.
How To Apply?
As of now, there are two ways to apply for a community push. You can leave a comment in any of my future articles (including this), stating that you apply for a Community Push or contact me on Discord (ID: EviLDoLLTV#9035).

Note: I will write a new post each week, with one or more users to push, (one per week during this initial stage). I reserve the right to ban or disqualify users if and when someone doesn't comply to- or fails to meet the given requirements and rules. Also, as this is based upon peoples ability, and willingness to help fellow Steemians, there are no guarantees for a successful push.
