The project to increase the number of Steem minnows is kicking off this week. I am working with @paulag, @pennsif, @hitmeasap, @slobberchops, @niallon11, @cryptoandcoffee and @blanchy on it at the moment, but we would welcome more people who are interested. The announcement sets out our goal of adding 250 minnows in a month. This may be ambitious, but let's shoot for the moon.

Not minnows, but I wanted a picture with lots of fish
Our first move was to contact some Steemians who are pretty close to becoming minnows. @paulag produced some lists for us to work from. Some of mine had just powered up and one added 28k Steem! A few of the others had been inactive for a month or two, so I left comments in case they come back.
What we are asking people to do is to write a post committing to powering up to get to minnow and use the tag #TenKMinnows. They need to show they are serious about this. We would rather they do not use 'bid bots' as this may lose them some support. Things they can do include:
- Make their posts 100% Steem Power.
- Power up any liquid Steem and Steem Dollars you have. This will get some people to minnow straight away.
- Do not power down.
- Make use of votes from Steem dapp projects such as @Actifit, @Busy, @eSteemapp, @Partiko, @Share2Steem, @Steempress, @SteemMonsters (you can ask for votes in their Discord).
- Enter contests that can win you Steem.
- @paulag has created a course about Steem. Take the course and you could get 50 SP of delegation.
- Leave good comments that may earn you votes and may gain you followers.
- Keep posting. You need to have at least one active post that people can vote on, but go for quality rather than quantity. Add value to the Steem platform.
The first to respond are:
- @grider123 who is into Gridcoin and BOINC. Here is his post.
- @arnel is also enthusiastic. He has posted too.
If you are serious about gaining influence on Steem and want the platform to grow then get in touch with us and we will see if we can help. This really is just the start. We have some big accounts who want to support us, so we need lots of good candidates for them to check out.
@paulag and I will be on 60 Minutes of Steem tomorrow to give a project update.
Steem on!
