I admire your initiative.
These last couple of days, I’ve doing something alike - except for the fact that it is not really niche related (unless you consider ‘being a newbie’ a niche).
When I have some time to spare, I go check out the ‘Introduce yourself’ stream to welcome new users and invite them to join our #newbieresteemday initiative. This initiative is a group of minnows, backed up by some Dolphins and Whales and was founded to support new Steemians by giving them some extra rewards and a chance to connect with other Steemians.
The initiative was founded by @davemccoy and @mudvat36, but the number of active members is growing every day. We have some weekly events, like - of course - newbieresteemday, but there’s also a weekly‘Dear Dawn’, in which @goldendawne, one of the stewards of Gondor, offers her expertise to new members, we have a newbie of the week contest and organize a lot of games and contests in which new members receive a little extra through an upvote...
There's also a Discord channel where newbies can go if they have any questions.
At the moment, we’re looking for some supporters - people that don’t need to put in a whole lot of effort nor time into the initiative (although every help will be appreciated), but are willing to contribute a little like for example dropping in at a contest every once in a while to show some support and connect with a couple of newbies , allowing them to grow their account and make new connections.
When I saw your post, iI thought it was worth a question. You could for example simply tag posts like these with the #newbiresteemday tag, so it will show up in our stream. By using the tag, you can become involved and help us go get the word out about the initiative without having to do any extra work if you don’t want to.
My best Argument is that if we want to help out and guide newbies around the platform together, we’ll have more chance to succeed. After all: If we work together, we can move mountains
Feel free to check out the #newbieresteemday initiative (we now have our ‘official’ account at @nexbieresteemday too) and then decide whether you’re prepared to supoort each other’s causes :0)
