FREEEEEDOOOOOMMMMMM!!!
That's why I came to Steemit. So many platforms have so many rules and in addition to that, I can get paid? Sign me up!
When I got here, things were much easier
We weren't facing 3 new posts a second, or, one new user every 15 seconds. It was busy, but it was manageable. The whales were just being invented and they were active. They'd talk to you, upvote you, encourage you. They hadn't forgotten what this place represents yet, other than $$$$$$
To be fair, there are still some really awesome large account holders here! I know that. And, I don't fault them for loaning, or renting their SP and just taking the interest.
But, when I came back two months ago, I didn't know what was going on.
I'd gotten a pretty good handle on the place in the beginning, I thought. Made some really good money pretty fast, and I thought I could just reboot and jump back to the top again. It's been harder than I anticipated.
Statistically, any post with 2 votes, is above average!
So, in that regard, I'm doing okay. All of my posts get some payout, if not much. So, as I struggled to reinvent myself here, I looked around. I recognized there were a lot of hard workers getting very little recognition and I wanted to do something about it. So, I started #Dolphinschool Bootcamp, to help struggling Plankton and Minnows survive long enough to even fully participate.
I really had no idea the struggle they were facing with borrowed steem and low bandwidth, which wasn't a major issue for those of us 18 mos ago, even with a free account. But, I've got an awesome group and I wanted to do something for the, so this is the first of ten posts, with half of whatever revenue is earned, going to the 5 top authors each day that impress me the most with their work.
Without further ado, I give #DolphinSchool Bootcamp Review DAY 1
If you'd like to see what the assigment is all about, you can go here. And see the requirements. I'll be featuring the five #DolphinSchool Authors I feel hit a home run with their posts!
Following the featured authors, I'm including links to the other 14 posts, because all of these steemians deserve your support!
Bootcamp Participants!
I want to say how proud I am of you. So, rather than just blog about it, I'm adding a video. Sorry, I didn't trim my beard, or get enough sleep before doing this. But, here it is!
In no particular order, here are today's Revenue share posts!
@Lilyraabe created a great post, with some wonderful personal photos of theatrical productiions. She has a vision for funding the arts through steemit. What an idea!
Why This Artist Started Using Steemit

@Donjyde wrote a prose piece about the way we use time. Some excellent thoughts, and beautiful preview pic. I especially like his opening line.

@Makingthebest09 Took a musical approach and shared some really interesting jazz, along with a poetic prose piece! A nice view into his private life.
Last Night @Supermeatboy Saved My Life

@Mandelsage Wrote a cool tribute to some steemians that we should be looking to for inspiration. I may be biased, I'm mentioned.

Three Artists and Writers Worthy of My and Your Follow
.
@Magicalmoonlight gave us a peak inside the life of a Steemit minnow and shared some of her insight.
It was a tough choice to cut the revenue share off at just 5!
But, with ten days of bootcamp, hopefully each participant will get featured once or twice.
That's now to say the others didn't do some fantastic work. If you take the time to experience the remaining posts, please, take the time to leave a comment. They've worked hard, under a deadline and done some outstanding job!!
