If you have been following along I made a half joking post about adopting a minnow and it brought back some early ideas I had on mentoring.
First though, Thank You @brandyb!
Thanks for "getting the vision" and for your sense of humor and getting this was supposed to be a win/win. Thanks for not protesting when I asked you to go to the sweatshop and put your head on fishes and such!
For my first Minnow I picked @brandyb and it turned into so much more than I thought it would. I found someone who I now consider friend. It was my job to get her some visibility to gain some attention and visibility and her job to be a Steemian that will add great content and an interesting personality to the SteemIt community. If you haven't already, check out her Blog. She is a cool lady - she even has a cool dog, she eats great food, has great hair, travels to interesting places, has an adorable loving family that she enjoys. I thought we would be promoting each other and instead I found someone who I really like.
So, In about a week, I think I will be adopting a new minnow. @brandyb had a fishtribute that I truly appreciated, her amazing ability to Photoshop her face on fish. I really didn't know how important that skill was to me until I had @brandyb as a minnow.
Next Chapter:
In about 1 week I will select a new minnow.. The tryouts have gotten harder. To be considered for adoption you must make a post to show your skillz at pasting your face on fish... Or any other talent. Blog it, vlog it, sing it, do interpretive dance. Use the tag #adoptaminnow
Don't worry that there is only one of me, the point is to make your posts so amazing that other Dolphins and Whales would also like to adopt you. This is about Interesting, This is about GREAT Content!
To be considered you must hold 1k or less Steem Power, have at least a few quality posts under your belt. After that just be creative.
If you hate my contest and think it is unfair you can write about that as well.
I will begin reviewing posts on that tag one week from today.
Good Luck Minnows Tell your friends.
Use the tag #adoptaminnow
@whatsup + @brandyb nice combination for steemit future...

Great idea but I find it funny :D
Although I don't write much, I think I have a few quality posts under my belt judging by the amazing responses it received. :D
All of them were boosted by bots for attention... then only it gained visibility and responses. I hate to use bots and it would help me a lot if people like you would read my stuff and pass it on to the curators.

Well @brandyb is a love, quite humors and a very nice lady indeed. As you know i have been following both since i joined the steemit, Last Month. Actually i followed the brandy through your Blog.
As per contest is concerned it is more than great idea and i am in the Favor this Superb Idea. This thing actually clears the vision of @ned as he said in his speech the main aim of the steemit is to create a Welfare Community. It is all about giving best at one's level. Like i am doing contributing by commenting and engaging myself after reading the content fully.
As i don't have that much steem power so basically i don't qualify for the adoption but i Support this effort and will contribute as much as i can for sure.
You forgot to mention that Brandy Has a Nose pin too ;) @whatsup
Great Going Guys, Keep the vision of steemit high
Stay Blessed, Steem On!

I like @brandyb. I think she was a good choice. I do have a few ideas for other minnows that aren't quite figuring out the process of how to move forward and make money.
They are mostly fiction writers though but I will point a couple this way.
