Let's Talk Minnow to Minnow
I can't stress enough and more so if you've joined the Steemit platform recently. The first step for you is to LEAVE EVERYTHING and join the Minnow Support Project spearheaded by @aggroed. Don't Comment, Don't Post, Don't Vote, Don't Resteem. First join us at https://discord.gg/HYj4yvw
Why am I so adamant on you joining? Well, because I don't want you to start complaining when your posts are not getting the traction they deserve. As a minnow, your posts will definitely get less visibility and upvotes simply because you are new, have less followers and don't have enough STEEM Power (unless of course you are super rich and have invested in STEEM). As with everything, building relationships and credibility on this platform takes time and this project is simply there to save you from the frustration of spending time as a minnow.
STEEM has an excellent and welcoming community and projects such as these simply show us how STEEM is very different from any other Social Networks that you have come across. The Minnow Support Group also known as PAL ( Peace, Abundance and Liberty) has proved to be tremendous in helping and promoting my posts.
I urge you to join this group and try for yourself.
I am Convinced. Where do I Sign-Up?
Happy to know that you are convinced and ready to sign-up. The sign-up process can be a bit tricky for newbies so make sure you follow the steps as below very carefully and in sequential order.
Part 1
- Create Discord Account and Join the Project here https://discord.gg/HYj4yvw

Congrats That's Part 1 completed. Now head over to Part 2
Part 2

- Navigate to Services -> Curation Trail and join the @minnowsupport Trail. In the trail settings make sure you enter the Tags you want to vote on or are passionate about for e.g photography, life etc.
