Awesome recommendation, and I fully concur! I already commented back on your post but I'll say it again here. Entering contests is hands down the best way to get some followers and eyeballs on your blog when you're starting out, and win some fast STEEM to get you started. Otherwise you'd spend weeks just trying to get a few followers and scrounging together pennies. I got some of my head start from the contests in the #newbieresteemday orbit, particularly the comment contests. Those ones are great for newbies because they force people to actually engage with you hahaha. Usually you think that contests are impossible to win but the contests on here usually don't have THAT many entries. On this one the odds are pretty good that every person who enters is going to win something. And at the very least you get upvotes when you comment here.

Yep. My buddy Robbie was raised a Jehovah Witness and then left the church. When i would get drunk and crash on his couch they would sometimes come knock on his door and they would sit there for whst seemed like hours going back snd forth with contradicting verses from their book of worship. It was quite hilarious sometimes.

This is a rather long post covering everything from "Why Steemit?" to Help for newbies.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Most of the reason I said "concise" is that many people on here associate LONG comments and posts with quality, because we're all readers here (presumably!). I didn't want them to think they were obligated to write out an enormous long thoughtful thing in order to have a chance to win. I wanted the barrier to entry to be pretty low. Also, I didn't want to saddle myself and all of our contestants with who knows how many long posts to read, hah.
But I don't mind either way. If you've got a lot to say, you've got a lot to say! And personally, I enjoyed your post and its unconventional formatting. :) It was a good pep talk. I'm trying not to hyper-focus on the rewards too much right now and just enjoy the opportunity to write, but it's nice to think that maybe one day I could make all of my dreams come true.

A bunch of people have been mentioning @dustsweeper today and I think it's my favorite thing that I've learned from this contest so far. Such an incredible idea, and I signed up the second I heard about it. And when I say that a lot of people mentioned it, I don't mean that it's a bad thing that you did too! The more people that get the word out, the better, as far as I'm concerned! I think you're the first to mention @abh12345's curation leagues, which is also one of my favorite projects. I won't spoil the third. :)

I'm so glad to see @beeyou hearing the appreciative words she deserves! Obviously, I couldn't agree more. I can't even imagine how different my experience would have been on here if it hadn't been for her seeing my #introduceyourself post by chance.
As for comparing yourself to others/being self conscious, I feel you 100%. It's damn near impossible not to do it, and there's literally no way that you can ever be the BEST at something (unless you're an Olympic champion, in which case there is probably still some undiscovered talent somewhere that didn't make it to the Olympics and is better than you at what you do). Besides, how can you really be the best at something so subjective? But there's plenty of room in this world for talent in all shapes and sizes, and an endless supply of readers here who would appreciate what you do. I am hard on myself too, and it's only recently (and really, with the help of this site) that I've felt comfortable enough to let it free where other people can see it, and that I've felt comfortable with saying, "hey, I might actually be good at this." I had just gotten so used to putting myself down and thinking I wasn't artistically talented in any way.

That's true. Someone is always better. And if we keep comparing ourselves to them, we'll end up with lower self-confidence. But it's really difficult not to. I guess all we can do is be the best we can be and believe in ourselves. Good thing there are amazing people and communities on this site who go out of their way to support newbies.
Thank you for sharing your insights. It helped me view things on another perspective. :)

What a kind and thoughtful gesture @malloryblythe! There is a reason I liked you from first meeting you on your introduceyourself post. Well, aside from the fact that you are an exceptionally talented writer. :)
I haven't been on and around as much, but I'm happy to see that curie is still showing their support to you! We need to continue supporting Steemians that started late 2017 and 2018 because many individuals that started earlier already have a support system in place. I always enjoy reading your blog when I have some free time.
I think it's amazing that you're sharing the earnings from your curied post with others on this platform. This is a perfect example of Paying It Forward!

To be honest I felt a little bad since I had been picked before and I almost wished it went to someone who was new and could also feel that joy of being appreciated! But it feels amazing to have the ability to do this. It brings me much more happiness than I would have gained by cashing it out or powering up. I would love if someone answered the second prompt (recommending someone for the curators to keep an eye on) and it actually did get them their first curie vote.

You do put in a lot of time with your writings so it was well-deserved! I have seem some receiving 2-3 curie support. It really is hard to find newbie authors for curie support because many are just starting out and their posts may not be exceptional but the potential is there. Hopefully you'll receive many entrants highlighting some undiscovered authors!
Ditto the amazing feeling of doing something good for others. Cool picture, btw! You're so petite next to the Viking and ferocious polar bear. :)

Hey Mallory
I don't think I'll get round to a post on this, but I'd like to mention something with regards to 'Tell us about one or more projects that every newbie should know about'.
This has to be the @dustsweeper by @danielsaori and @davemccoy. This bot (once you have loaded your account with 1 SBD), will go round up-voting comments that you made, which have a value of less than 0.02c, which would otherwise become 0.00 after 7 days.
I think this is a great idea, and should benefit a lot of newer accounts, or accounts that have a lot of newbie follows, gain much more from their comment interactions.
Cheers!

Getting noticed on Steemit is hard, getting noticed by those with upvote power is harder. So it's definitely a relief when that time does come - I've also noticed that contests can pay off more than actual posts... (and just the winning itself is pretty fun)
Anyway, congratulations on making it this far, and hope your earnings grow exponentially!

Hi Mallory, first I want to say what an amazing thing for you to do... I definitely want to help you and thinking of a few ways I can do that... It is such an unselfish thing you did that it deserves my full attention!
I guess the first question I have is do you have enough contestants yet to fill those 24 SBI memberships?
I will go from there and come up with some ideas to help!
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I think so far I have 8 contestants, with 1 coming down the pipeline, and there may be a few others in progress. Right now the prize pool is 24.808 (curie) + 3.73 (this post) + 0.5 (from a generous donor who totally didn't have to do that!), so that's 29ish SBD worth. Some relatively big fish have resteemed it so I think the word is out and I imagine there will be more coming through. :) worst case scenario, a few people will get some extra shares.

13 entries so far! I think at the current price of STEEM vs SBD I’m going to have something like 24 shares to give away. I would be happy with that ratio. I’ve got no problem giving away 2 shares to some of these contestants! But of course the more the merrier.

It's looking good! I count 21 entries (largely thanks to you!). I'm guessing we'll get at least a couple more, which would be perfect. Either way, if I run a few over I'm going to send over the STEEM to some of the contestants who are friends and have them enter the other contestants in SBI. I wouldn't want a situation where I have just a couple of people left out. I'm so happy with the turnout on this one! Thank you!

I think we can take up a "pass the hat" and help you if you run a little short of help more people... Let me know if that happens and I will speak with my friends and I am confident we will help you square it up!
And it is not because of me, it is all due to you Mallory! You did a wonderful job and made an incredible contest based on your outstanding heart and desire to give back! People aren't responding because I tell them too... Trust me... They are responding because of you and what you have done! I am just a messenger, you are the conductor and the orchestra!

I love this theme of appreciation traveling through Steemit lately! What an awesome contest @malloryblythe - everyone at @newieresteemday thanks you for including us! You are definitely one of our success stories my dear! You just bloomed perfectly on here! So glad to see you giving back :-D I hope you get a ton of entries - (maybe, if I can nail down some time to write finally LOL , I will join in!)

I hope you throw in an entry too, but no pressure! If you don't have time, it would be awesome if you could convince a newbie to throw in an entry. :) We're only at 2 contestants so far so if the pattern holds and we only get a few more submissions, then people are going to be getting multiple SBI shares.

You take history to the next level.
Then again who dares call themselves a proper historian if they don't reenact at least some of it.
Have you noticed how many politicians are fond of history?
History brings the past flooding back to you. Just flow with it. No need to learn from it. It repeats itself anyway.

Politicians love using history for their own benefit. Oof.
I took this photo at the Saga Museum in Reykjavik. It's this museum full of wax statues in life size dioramas acting out totally brutal things. Sort of looks like Pirates of the Caribbean except by no means should you ever bring a child in there. Then at the end they have this costume room, and I was like, YES. SOLD. Had to get a few strangers to take pictures before I got the right one but it was totally worth it.

Tomorrow I will be starting week 7 of the Pay It Forward Curation Contest and I'll make sure to mention your contest there. Think a number of those in the contest will be interested in this.

Thank you so much, @thedarkhorse! I always see your PIF contests pop up and I think it's such a great initiative. I took a bit of a hiatus here until about a week and a half ago, so I haven't had the time to actually enter one, but I intend to soon!

We can always use any support you can give in terms of resteems or upvotes. Been growing the contest purely on a grass roots approach so it takes others lending a hand getting the word out to help it grow.
Would love to see an entry from you for week 7. Will be posting that in about 8-10 hours.

The only reason I might not enter week 7 is because I'm going to be dedicating myself to reading everyone's entries and commenting back on this contest, and I've also entered the daily freewrite selfie contest that started today (which I may or may not stick out, depending on how the next couple days go). But I'll see if I can give it a shot next week if this week doesn't work out!

Yay! Thank you for sharing this one! I didn't even know about it myself until @abh12345 mentioned it, and I sent my SBD in right away. I'm still right at the cutoff (as you can see, I have a 2 cent vote when I'm around my average VP), so if there were a slight fluctuation in my VP downward I'd be totally screwed. It also means that I'm not upvoting my comments most of the time, which sucks, because I really want to support the people who support me and show them how much I appreciate their contributions to my posts. So yeah, long story short, I REALLY appreciate that @davemccoy, @danielsaori, and you (yes, I'm giving you credit) made this happen. It's a GREAT idea.

You can always pick a topic that’s unrelated to what you’ve written about before! I made some suggestions to other people who said the same, like writing about an app idea for Steemit (your own @dustsweeper type project) or writing about what you hope to accomplish here. It’s an open ended prompt on purpose 🙂

Thank you so much for helping to get the word out, @ammonite! You are of course welcome to join. We only have two contestants so far and 27 SBD (and counting) worth of SBI shares that will be given out, so there's going to be plenty to go around. You can also designate someone to give it to if you don't want it. But no pressure. :)

Plus, you sign up to auto-vote the bot at 100% 2x daily but the bots are averaging less than 1 post a day... We have 2 levels of bots but the 2nd level takes some work to attain. We have QC Courses (quality of content) to get to the 2nd level, but the Big Voting Bot is the 1st Level and he is pumping out about 15¢ daily. It was higher before Steem Dropped off... of course, but it has almost 5000 SP.
I will leave a link if you want to check it out. @eaglespirit is my right hand there, she is a PRIMO General in the boot camp.

That sounds great! I'll probably join after this contest is over, as I want to save my SP for upvoting these entries, and my steemauto fanbase is already a little more populated than I would like. I'll see if I can reconfigure to make room for Minnow Boot Camp. :)

Very Good!
I have had zero complaints as to the pay-back of votes, and the
only time anyone does say something is if they get skipped for
a vote, which is pretty rare. If you think you were skipped, just
do a "minor edit" on your post and then the blockchain is tagged
just like a new post, and the bot will then vote at the 15 minute
mark. I think I have only had to manually vote for one person!
I use steemdunk.xyz, it is a paid service but handles high volume.
Very Reliable SO FAR!!! (knock on wood LOL!)

You can come up with your own prompt if you want! Off the top of my head, some alternate prompts could be like, ideas for projects that you think could make Steemit better, something positive that Steemit has contributed to your life, what your hopes and dreams are for yourself on this platform, communities you'd like to see. If you had some project ideas you might even be able to get in touch with people here who are able to help make it happen. I would be beyond stoked if this contest helped spark something. I honestly don't care if you go a bit off topic. I'm just looking for an excuse to give away a bunch of SBI shares, pay it forward, and make friends. :)

Hells yes! Obviously I fully concur, since I mentioned that #teamgirlpowa is my favorite community on here. I’ve met so many awesome supportive women. And we do need to write about each other more and put the spotlight on our community because percentage wise there really aren’t very many of us! It’s something like 6 men to every woman, last time I checked the Steemit Alexa ranking. I hope we can get some more women on the technical end (e.g. witnesses and app developers). If I had the equipment and the expertise I would!
PS: If any of the men get mad at us women showing appreciation for each other, they can f right off and go back to hiding out on 4chan.

I like the memes and the newbie suggestions, but it'll have to be an original post and not one from the Welcome to Steemit contest, as great as it was! It only has to be a few paragraphs long, though. Maybe to avoid doubling up on what you already wrote so you're not posting the same information twice in a row, you could find a topic that is unrelated? I suggested for someone else perhaps writing about a project idea that could make Steemit better, or talking about your hopes and dreams of what you could accomplish here. I'm up for reading whatever as long as it's original!
