Recently I had a number of my data analysis posts translated by @justyy into CN. The posts done well for both myself as the original author and @justyy as the translator. They created engagement by way of comments and votes for appreciation.
Which gave me an idea. It’s simple really.
What if I could work with minnows from different countries that are struggling to find content to write about?
What if I took them on as a translator, allowing them exclusive access to translating my posts to their language?
I could take on a minnow from a few different countries and surely really help them grow?
What if I could get more community leaders involved?
It’s an idea I have been thinking about since my posts were translated, so I had a quick look on Steemit to see if anyone else is doing this.
What I did find was an awesome initiative from @stellabelle and @papapeppa allowing open translation of their posts. Not wanting to step on anyone’s toes, I contacted @stellabelle for some feedback on this idea. The good news is, she told me to go for it.
So today is born – The Minnow Translation Project – (@m-t-p under the tag #mtp) The community is housed with #steemitbc on discord.
The Overall Concept
The idea is really simple. The SteemitBC community on discord houses some really awesome tags and community leaders. I am working with these community leaders to offer support in terms of quality content to minnows finding it difficult to create good engaging content.
Each community leaders will take on only one minnow from each language, giving them exclusive translations rights to agreed posts.
The minnow will get to post the article on their profile, keeping 100% of the rewards.
What’s Next
Keep an eye on the @m-t-p account as in the coming days we will set out the objectives and criteria for application and we will being to roll out this initiative.
You will also be introduced to the community leaders that are offering to work with this project, find out about the topics on offer, and how you can apply.
