Adoptaminnow - Chapter 2

in adoptaminnow •  7 years ago  (edited)


ISO:  Minnow to adopt for about 1 month

Requirements:  

  • Interesting Content...  (Surprise Me)
  • Less than 1000 SP

To Enter: Make a post, A blog, vlog or song about why you would be a great minnow.  The ability to photoshop your face on a fish picture is a bonus and will be much appreciated!  ;)  This is not about "Why" you need to be adopted it is about why are you an asset to the SteemIt community.  

Use the tag #adoptaminnow

What will you receive in return?

I will take an unnatural, over-involved interest in a minnow's life

  • If you are adopted, I will live for your success or failure.
  • I will over-estimate your successes and become over-involved in your failures
  • I will brag about you.  I will post about how fabulous you are.
  • I will nag you and give you unsolicited advice
  • I will upvote you just to keep you happy, I will demand that others acknowledge your talents and shame them for upvoting others over you.
  • I will quickly tire of you when you become self sufficient and can no longer meet my need to be needed

Since my own success is moderate at best, I hope to catapult you past my own level and remind you for the rest of our lives how I am responsible for all of your victories.If you are interested in becoming my online project giving me illusions of making a difference and a smug sense of personal importance.  I will focus on you until I lose interest.  Likely about a month, after which I will forever remind you that I launched your career 

The goal is:

To not create an unhealthy dependency, rather support and protect them as minnows, as well as assist as needed.  They have a short time to learn the ropes and then the goal is to create a healthy, self-sustaining minnow 

It is the adopter's job to get the minnow some visibility and the minnow's responsibility to use that time to gain followers through interesting content.

The first minnow and a tough act to follow was @brandyb...  Check out her blog and her minnow experience.   She is a great minnow and is going to be a hard act to follow...  her minnow story is here.

Who will step up?

Your new minnow will be twice as lucky as me! Because now we will be minnow siblings and I will also be gallivanting around steem it shoving upvotes and comments at them, maybe shoving them into another fish when they annoy me and then lying about it (while all being public on the block chain)!!! Your minnows will only get luckier and luckier as our #adoptaminnow family grows! Snapchat-2068620893.jpg

That is a great way to look at it... Just a new member of the family...

This is awesome. We all know I know I love faces on fish.

OMG the pressure !
Looking forward to your new minnion ... ehr minnow ;-). Will consider doing the same. Minnows can use all the help they can get. (I have my MinnowSupportpost but that's a drop in the ocean)

Oh I hope you do. It has been fun, it adds a bit of fun and support of the platform to the community.

To be entirely honest...

  • after which I will forever remind you that I launched your career...

That's rather steep a price to pay. :D

But it will be totally worth it for whoever gets the honor, the honor because they put in the hard work to earn that first.

Keep up the awesome paying it forward work. People like you make this otherwise rather challenging for many platform much more welcoming.

The whole #adoptaminnow project is one of the things Steem needs in order to improve the retention rate. Because of that movement alone, and the inherent understanding of the needs of many a minnow it shows (as well as other things I read from you), you should be a good guardian as a witness or spearheading a minnow community witness project.

Thanks for doing this, and pouring some marketing, humour in.
When you have your new minnow, I'd be happy to help you with my ps skills.

@whatsup...Really a very good idea..i think i am qualified for this entry ..and i will tell to my friends also..and spread it by resteem this post...i will send my entry soon...thank you for sharing with us..
Resteemed done

i am unqualified for this.
Because i'm not good content creator but i will support the minnow which is adopted by you.

You are a great supporter and I enjoy following you! You should get a minnow too!!

Hi @whatsup, Three days ago, I wrote a post not with the tag #adoptaminnow because it was by someone else. However, I explained the reason in that post. If that fulfills the requirements, let me know. If not, I can write another post as per your requirements. Just want to grow under someone who is already putting great value in Steemit.

Steem On!

Please post again using the tag, or just modify it a bit. Use the tag please.

Ok. I'm on it.

LoL this post really made my day :) Especially this phrase "I will upvote you just to keep you happy, I will demand that others acknowledge your talents and shame them for upvoting others over you."
I wish someone always demanded others to aknowledge my talents :D

:) I am hoping to get those with a sense of humor.

really great idea, i think am qualified, i would be sending in my entry soon.

Awesome. I look forward to it.

@whatsup,
I will ask my sister to participate this one! She had above mentioned all requirements, but with a tight life style. better she adopted by someone else than crazy me :D

Cheers~

This is great! I hope she makes a nice entry.

@whatsup,
Steemit name @thanya, I will make a phone call and hope she will comment here. (Can't guaranteed, she got a too much busy life than myself. - Medical Student in her last year)

Cheers~

You're so nice for commenting on this post. For that, I gave you a vote!

I'm ultra adoptable and here I am! :D

It's a very successful event. And thank you for sharing this. In addition, this kind of sharing encourages us. this is a really nice event occurrence. I will try this.
@whatsup

I look forward to your entry

There was no clear idea about some fine details. I will understand this best and I will soon be there.

Well @brandyb is now a Celebrity among all minnows and i am Really happy for her, definitely credit goes to you @whatsup :)

I myself is a good option to be adapted but I have written only a blog yet :P

Actually i am still in the process of Learning as I joined it last month.
Let's see what do you suggest me :)

I don't know if it would have gone as well... Brandyb, is interesting and fun.. made it great.

Yes it was all Fun :)

Excellent and i hope you able to adopt a deserving minnow soon and i wish you all the best for all of your future endeavors! the peoples like you are real treasures, Stay blessed

@whatsup always helping the little guys. I appreciate your desire to do so as it gives me hope that others on the site will start helping the little guys out as well.

With that being said, I don't think I offer enough to the community, outside of the occasional science posts, so I look forward to seeing your new minnow whenever you select one.

You did a great job with @brandyb by the way.

She made it easy... Make an adoption post, you never know. There is someone for everyone...

Whoot! Good job!

Many thanks @whatsup.

Wow what a great idea and gesture. I would love to participate in such a mentoring program. Unfortunately I have a fractured arm which is stopping me from really getting on with my blogging. But I am engaging with Steemit as much as I can. There is a high chance you will get my application in a few weeks time provided you have a slot open.

Thank you anyway for such a kind gesture.

Well, I thought 1000 SP gives most some time to "find their Steem personality" before applying. I look forward to your future application.

Not sure if I'm too late or not but I'll put my application here for fun thanks @whatsup for starting this.

Thanks for sharing this helpful information @whatsup

I agree with a concept. But what is our work? What to post by using the #adoptaminnow tag to pick up the image of fish? Please answer.

As a small fish I really like your posts, this is an opportunity for us to note, I promise will give the best to get the good news from you.

Wow! Great idea!

+W+

If ever i get a chance, I wanna be a part of this great fun "adoptaminnow".
This is really something different,interesting and great content i see so far.
Best of luck for it, i will surly help if i got a chance.

This is a great idea. I congratulate you. thank you ✍👏

really excellent post

I wish I could participate. I have little sense of humor and I can give tough time in selection criteria. But for next one month I will be busy in a project so might be I would not spend more time on steemit. But if I got a chance then I will definitely give you a surprise @whatsup. All the best for your next adoption in advance. And congrats for the person who is going to be select. Cheers!

wow..this is a good news..i too want to adapt one..i am in :)

An interesting idea. I'm looking at the old phone. I will put this activity on the computer print. I can not wait to join the moment. I'm really curious about photoshopping photography. @whatsup

Woah, seems like I read this post just in time. Its been only few days that I am on steemit. Trying hard to learn the "culture" here and the least I can say so far is, I love the community. Must I say it is quite hard to find people that are eager for growth of the ones around in this era, growth of the ones who need it; growth of people like myself =) Great initiative.
Gearing up to give this a try, 22? still not a bad age to get adopted. Certainly not a bad place to get adopted. More than happy. Gracias.

That's very successful idea for providing steemit and minnows. We'll see who's the qualified minnow.
I wish you to find best minnow for chapter 2 like as a @brndyb.
For looking more followers I resteemed this post.
