So, what is the Minnow Votes Project?
I'm glad you asked. Hi, I'm @markrmorrisjr, I'm an author and blogger here on Steemit, and I run @Dolphinschool. So, what is dolphinschool? I'll get to that in a minute. But first, I'd like to share a little project me and about 50 other users (so far) are working on together.
We want to see if a post can be driven to the top of trending, without buying any votes.
Why minnow votes, Mark, they're tiny!
Well, we're not excluding anyone, that's just the name of the project, we would more than welcome dolphin and whale participation, if they'd like to help.
Mostly, it's a project to encourage more organic interaction here on steemit, between real accounts. We're tired of the top of Trending belonging to the highest bidder, and mega high value accounts that upvote themselves.
It's not a trick, or a stunt. We're going to put one post, from this Plankton account, (worth less than $20 with fewer than 300 followers) as high as possible in the ranks on Sunday Afternoon this week.
How are you going to do it?
Over the next four days, we're going to promote posts talking about the topic of organic interaction, and the Minnow Votes Project. Want some upvotes? Great! Help us out. Use the #minnowvotesproject hashtag, share a link to this post, or another Minnow Votes Project post here on @dolphinschool, or at @markrmorrisjr, and we'll send some love your way!
Warning, we will not be upvoting spam posts. If your post is not about this project, or does not add real value to the conversation, do not expect upvotes. Please respect our tag and don't use it, if you're not with us.
Also, if you want promotion for our support, we ask for one thing! Look for the post here, on Sunday afternoon at 2pm CST and upvote it with 100% voting power! That's all we ask in return. Anyone can join us. We are looking to get 100 votes within the first hour of the post this first time out.
Beyond that, any promotion you can add will be greatly appreciated!
So, what is @dolphinschool?
Dolphinschool is the brainchild of @markrmorrisjr. I put it together, using my own funds, after having a lot of success here on Steemit in the last two years. I'm a minnow now, after powering down from dolphinhood over the summer to pay for some family expenses, but I want to give back!
I've learned a lot here on Steemit and I want to teach it to as many people as possible. So, @dolphinschool was born. So far, I've shared dozens of articles on the #dolphinschool tag under @markrmorrisjr over the past two years, including running a ten day bootcamp for over 20 other Steemit users, all at no charge!
So, while this project is about working around the Voting Bots, it's also a way to properly launch this brand new profile for new dolphinschool students. There's also a brand new discord server for anyone looking for help learning how to grow accounts on Steemit.
If you'd like to participate in our project, please copy and paste this into the comments and I'll add you to our promotional list. We're adding all the names to each post to help expose the supporters to a wider audience.
The Supporters of Minnow Votes Project!
