Minnow Support Project
"Give a minnow an upvote and they'll eat for a day. Give a minnow a resteem and they'll eat forever."
Ancient Steemit Proverb
Here's the Minnow Support Project post from this week where the contestants are coming from. It's still a live post so if you update that more SBD will go to winners!
New winners are at the bottom of the post!
Hello Minnows!
it got us thinking...
@aggroed recently hit 1,705 followers and broke into the top 75 authors on Steemit. It had a lot to do with @kaylinart and @fyrstikken resteeming their posts.
What if we could help my followers like @kaylinart and @fyrstikken helped @aggroed!?! It's pretty easy to do. All we have to do is resteem minnows from a big account! What if I could get them a reward too!?! And the Minnow Support Project was born!
What are the rules?
People link on Mondays, and the award goes out on Thursdays. This is a Thursday rewards post following a Monday contest post.
What counts as a minnow?
If you have less than 500 followers and have earned less than 5,000SP at the time you post then you're a minnow that's eligible for the resteem and the reward!

Its amazing how minnow support is growing and the discord channal isn't bombarded with a ton of article posts.
Hope new people join the trail and we make steemit a better place for newbies :)
Much love 💖
Congratulations all 👍
This is an amazing project. I woke up to some SBD in my wallet and really appreciate it.
I am glad to see this making steemit a great place to publish content.
Hope more people continue things like this so that we can create a positive culture here.
Congratulations to @deepapoudel, @tremendospercy, and @thewolfcrypto!

Following u, would love to be followed back :)
Thanks so much for mentioning me @minnowsupport !!! :):) It's a huge encouragement to me :)
Isnt that such a motivator for content creators? I'm a little jelly haha. Great work and keep it up. FOLLOWED and will Resteem your posts from now on. Us minnows have to support one another to become dolphins 🐬 😉
@wwamd omgg thanks soo much!!! Followed TOO!!! Yaaa we should help each other! ;p Haha nawww don't be jelly I'm sure you're gonna do better and better in the future!!! Just submit your post to this contest when you're ready too!! :):) Cheers!! Dolphins are ahead! 💪
Whales eat minnows right? Or do Dolphins eat minnow? What do Minnows eat? Hahaha. Thanks for the reply and support.
Omg that's terrible! LOLLLLL !!! Haha nvm we'll grow up some time :p
How do you resteem? Quick noob question, but in all seriousness :S
Next to "reply", rectangle with arrow at end, click, when green = Resteemed 👍
Thanks dear! :)
No problem buttercup 🤓
You're so sweet! You got a new follower! :)
You did great work!
I haven't seen your account yet but FOLLOWED and Upvoted and now Resteemed!
Ohhh thanks SOOOO much for your support !!!! :):)
Thanks veryyyy much :):)I'll do better in the future!
Hey! great initiative !!
I dont know if I´m missing something or what, but... do you ask for a payment for your help? Like @randowhale does? Thanks a lot!
everything is free. It's a public service by publicly elected witnesses.
Just got a badge for number of Comments! I take that as a badge of EFFORT! This minnow is always looking to make the best content he can and got my first $40 post this past week! A few whales 🐳 upvoted me, many minnows 🐟 like me and some dolphins 🐬 I assume. Like I have said in previous posts Resteeming from a whale or dolphin is the most kind thing you can do for a minnow who is putting in sometimes hours of time and effort and making content. The upvote helps a lot but that Resteem is like getting to hang out with the "big kids" for a day. Gets you a lot more views and hence followers and comments that is for certain! I have adopted a new policy of upvoting each and every comment left on my posts to encourage commenting. Part Two of the Anti-Sharia March in NYC, the second and final installment to my first $40 post, is going to come out this morning after much effort and editing (to cut out the cursing in place of "crsng".) Quite the pain. Anyhow I am all for this promoting minnows who are really trying and RESTEEMING is BY FAR the BEST way to help them out! By far! And it is so easy to do especially for those with many followers. Sometime in the future we will all be saying look at all these minnows, I remember when Steemit was only a year old and we still had minnows who posted every day who are now dolphins and whales because they are the ones who put there name out there every day and got respect from the bigger fish 😉. So now I am choosing to 100% Power Up with every post and believe in the platform not only to make money but as a source of news and media. An uncensored pro-free speech area where the blockchain is used and there is much developer support and interest. In my opinion it is only a matter of time before the userbase at STEEMIT grows in leaps and bounds after people start to figure out what a blockchain is and why they should be a part of this one. Then STEEM will have exponential growth and those who are Powered Up will be very happy because as that new STEEM hits the market we will have the Minnow-Dolphin Power to buy into Steemit.com with USD and BTC and put real money on top of real content and make this blow Facebook off the NYSE and take a chunk out of every forum on Earth, especially with multi-language support on the way. Tapatalk will no longer be needed and I am personally in the process of pushing my H2O cooled Gaming Rig to the max going on forums and pulling all my old content and getting it ready to be published on STEEMIT instead. We need to drive people to steemit.com and so we need to make sure that no matter what they put in the google that we are on the first page. Until eventually they will come here instead of a search engine. That combined with the support now of our active minnows, dolphins and orca's will prove to make us worthy of the income that will come along with it. If only there were a way to get users to easily transfer over but with the blockchain that password is the most valuable thing and cutting and pasting is a hurdle they will all have to overcome. But absolutely Resteem posts by your favorite and loyal minnows that you want to see move up in the ranks and whose content you think is deserving of more than 20 views and $0.07. Also Resteem users that are Powering Up 100% because, in my opinion, they are the ones sho are truly make it or break it here on Steemit. I paid money to buy in, I create content to earn Upvotes and Resteems, and I take absolutely nothing out. Not one dollar. I am all in!!! Nothing motivated me more to provide content to STEEMIT than seeing that first $40 post and seeing it get Resteemed. As my new ending to each post says "Resteeming and Upvoting is the Kindest thing you can do." STEEM-ON!
Next week I will be throwing my 🎩 into the 💍 and throwing some SD in too to show some good faith to the system and idea. Even Minnows 🐟 like me can help out fellow 🐟 's so we can become 🐬's and then maybe even a 🐳. Always looking to upgrade from a fish to a mammal 😉
didnt realize i was a honorable mention! SWEET!

Please forgive me for asking a stupid question, but how/where exactly do we link the post we want to enter?
I'm trying to understand how this thing works, but I'm confused and a bit lost.
It's on an @aggroed post. STEEMFEST MINNOW. make a post and then put it in the comments section.
Thank you so much for the response!
