in #payitforward7 years ago (edited)
Here a Minnow, there a minnow, everywhere a minnow! We all started as minnows and it takes hard work and a little help from others who curated our works to help us grow. Now it's time to Pay It Forward!


Week 2 was a great success! Number of entries increased and everyone has been great about supporting the contest with upvotes, resteems, and even promoting the post in their discord groups! You are all amazing and thank you very much for making this contest a success.

Winners will be announced tomorrow! Watch for the post.

This curation contest is open to everyone and runs for 1 week ending at post payout! The main focus is to help smaller members gain extra visibility and rewards for their efforts.

This contest is evolving and because of the great feedback everyone has provided in your comments, on discord, and even in your posts we are making a couple changes to help make this contest easier for smaller members to participate. We are also adding a little skill into the reward mix with MORE winners awarded!

Week 3 Overview & Rules - CHANGES MADE!

This contest is truly here to help gain exposure for posts that deserve more of the reward pool then they are currently getting. Curate bloggers who clearly put effort into their posts and deserve to get more attention and votes.

  • Make sure to upvote and commented on the post you link to for each of these bloggers

Entry #10

If you could make sure to put a direct link to one of the blog posts for each blogger next week that would be great. Idea being to really help one post & increases likelihood of people actually visiting IMO.

Leaving my mistake, but lining it out.

I have one link for each! Let me know if I'm not doing it right.

Yup, I need some sleep. Sorry about that. You do have links and I just missed them.

My mom just woke me up to see this post lol. Now she will help me get mine done. I have my people picked out!

Pay it forward entry #3

https://steemit.com/payitforward/@wolfhart/my-entry-for-week-3-pay-it-forward-curation-contest

my entries are all sailors and sailing Blogs . A little change . being more specific to a catagory

Entry #12.

That IS a good idea, wolfhart. I accidentally ended up with 2 bloggers from South Africa, and wondered if I was on a roll with that, when an Aussie popped in.

It amazes me on how many people from all over and different interest come together here .

Yes, I agree. One of the beauties of the Steemit platform.

Congratulations for entering @wolfhart and what a cool idea to choose based on a sailing theme! Looking forward to reading your post :)

It has a really big following on youtube . here not so much . I did not realize how small it was . So it's an area that has huge upswing potential for the platform .

Oh that's awesome. I'm playing "catch-up" today, so I'll have a look at it tomorrow :)

Good thinking buddy!
