Adopt-a-Plankton - @jenniferbailey

@steevc mentioned this topic yesterday and created a new tag, #AdoptAPlankton. I think it’s a great idea and I would like to announce my plankton and welcome her to Steemit.

So my plankton is the person in the title. Just so you are aware the loose definition of plankton on Steemit is anyone who doesn’t yet have the vote slider, or has less than 1 Million Vests or roughly 500SP (Steem Power)

I for one remember only too well joining Steemit, knowing absolutely nobody and having TWO posts that generated a big fat $0.00. One of them, I put a lot of work into and I would really wish this on nobody.

For somebody new on this platform, it really is daunting. This entire experiment is loosely based on anarchy and you can do whatever you like, but you must face the consequences of your behaviour.

I can see my adoptee has already had a run in with @steemcleaners but I’m quite confident it was due to ignorance and nothing else. Also this was in August 2017, there appears to have been a large lapse where nothing has happened and this is her second ‘crack’ at Steemit.

I’m not asking every non-plankton to follow my lead, but just think back to when you started and how you felt after you had that $0.00. I’m betting that you all have had at least one of these unless you were extremely fortunate.

^^ The Bad days and my $0.00 times ^^

Any plankton that is new and wants to grow needs to put the effort it. Respond to comments, go check other’s blogs, vote on their content, comment on their content, rinse and repeat, be relentless if you want to speed things up, but be genuine as people will recognise sycophantic behaviour.

Also don’t ever let your voting power get to 100% as this is just wasteful. You can check your voting power using a multitude of tools but I use this one: https://steemworld.org/@jenniferbailey

Check the top left corner of the screen. If its 100% then you need to get voting or your voting power will be wasted!

If you vote my content up, and I think you are NOT commenting for the sake of it, I almost guarantee I will respond and/or I will vote your comment up. I’m not saying everyone is like that, but I am.

So back to @jenniferbailey, she is from the UK, appears to be a reviewer of products and has her own website at http://www.jenniferbaileyonline.com/., as well as a YouTube channel.

She appears to be a motivated person as well as a motivator and has a love for cats. Why not show her some support and give her blog a visit.

I will be sponsoring @jenniferbailey into the Steem Basic Income program (@steembasicincome), giving her a few juicy votes and sending 1SBD to get her going on Dust Sweeper as they have recently started this gift incentive., as well as adding her to the @chops.support account which will give another vote once per day for as long as it exists.

A short synopsis of these is that Steem Basic Income gives you a vote for life on EVERY post you make while Dust Sweeper gives you Author Rewards that would otherwise be lost.

Jennifer, you can read about Dust Sweeper here and Steem Basic Income here

I wish all the best for you on the Steemit platform, don’t give up, keep posting, keep up-voting other’s work, if you can invest real money into Steemit with STEEM and recognition will come with time.
