Greetings Steemians.

You might be aware, that we at Smartsteem are currently taking on some new exciting projects to finish the year. Among the project ideas we have bounced around, we've decided that one of the best ways we can do our share to help the platform grow, is by contributing to the education of it's users.

We completely understand how frustrating it can be for new users to grow on STEEM. The formula for growth is not rigid per say, but some of the foundations we intend to share will allow for those with the right mindset, with the right hunger to grow and achieve their personal goals much faster.

The main idea behind "Growing Smart with Smartsteem" is to share some of the framework and wisdom that some of the most succesful Steemians on the platform have learned. With that in mind, we will try to make the series valuable for both newbies and veterans, but more importantly, make it fun.

We need a Teaching Assistant

And believe it or not, you can help us make this happen and win some STEEM along the way. In other words the series will be "taught" by a special character who is yet to come into existence. His name, Smarty.

How does Smarty Look?

Well, we don't know yet. But that is the whole point of this little contest. In our minds Smarty is just a cool guy to hang around with and someone who is the absolute king of patience. How does that translate to looks? that is completely up to you.

But, this is were it gets really interesting. Those with the skills and the creativity to come up with a great design for Smarty, can walk away with 25 STEEM.

We strongly believe that with initiatives like this, with the right information and the right platform culture, we will see STEEM surpass all expectations. In due time all of its early adopters will remember these days, as the days were they got acquainted with true opportunity.
