Welcome to Steem @michelleart I have sent you a tip

Welcome Michelle! Holy cow you have some cool art!! Upvoted and followed you, looking forward to seeing more from you. Love this one! Screen Shot 2017-06-22 at 11.05.13 PM.png

I enjoy doing astrophotography :)

So I'd like to ask you something, I was wondering if you would be interested in teaming up with me and others? Aside from our normal random upvoting and curating, we’re looking to particularly team up with some like minded steemians.

We can work as a team to help and build each other up simply using the tag #minnowtowhale when we post stories. We can do a search at any point and find each other quickly that way. If we build up a decent sized team, we can help one another grow buy following, commenting, upvoting and resteaming each others work. Quality over quantity style. Interested? If so all you have to do is use the tag #minnowtowhale when you post. LMK if you're game or have any questions :)

Thanks so much! I am totally game :) So I will start adding #minnowtowhale on all my stories, that sounds so simple! I am excited, this is so much better than FB...a total game-changer!

Sweet. I think the more we use it, the better the chances of us finding each other and showing support to one another.

Ways you can help us all grow together -
When you're comfortable enough, give a warm welcome to the new comers in the #introduceyourself #Introduce tags and invite them to use the tag #minnowtowhale. You can copy and paste some of my message I sent to you or say it in your own way :) You'll quickly meet new cool people this way as well.

Follow, upvote, comment and or resteem their work.

I think we'll have a nice group of people willing to help eachother grow. Excited! Thanks for joining up! Welcome to team #minnowtowhale

You're very welcome :) I agree! I haven't been using facebook as much lately! More positivity here as well.

Hi :-) I have been to Revelstoke, BC . More drove through but spent a couple days at Glacier National Park Canada! I love it up there.
You look great by the way. :-) When is your due date?

aw thanks! Due date is August 1st, that pic is from a few weeks ago but I will post some up-to-date pics soon to show how big I am now lol and yeah, I live in a truly epic place!!

Yeah. :-) I bet you and the babies father are really excited! :-)

We are very excited, it is our first...everything is about to change! I am planning on staying at home with the baby and, as an artist, this seems like a great opportunity for where I am at in my life...very happy I joined. So many great creators around here.

That is great! Yeah this is an opportunity to help out while staying home taking care of the baby. My friend on here @opheliafu is in a similar situation and has really done well on here. You should check her out!

I will right now, thanks...it is inspiring to hear the success stories and I will try to be patient :)

Here is one thing I suggest. If possible do an original art piece with the Steem Logo in it. A lot of the artist did Steem and crypto currency specific artwork to really take a foot hold. Then you can circulate your previous work into your blog posts. But yeah if somehow you can do a Steem specific piece of art and showcase it like you did in your first post with your picture in there then it seem all that much more real. One of the things that is tough to break through is because there are so many people posting other people's work or they are taking pretty girls pictures from instagram and pretending to be them. So if you make posts that are undeniably true and continue to connect with people it will start to build on itself. With you expecting your first child and being pretty people will gravitate to you. Here is a post I did about gaining a following from the ground up. I hope it helps!

I really appreciate your advice and will get on it right away! Thank you so much, you are very kind.
