Welcome to AMAWED, @oluwoleolaide! A very wonderful response to @ewuoso's question. Most minnows/redfish who want to carry out projects, don't even think of funding for their projects.
So if you plan to do contest, can you fund it in the begining cos your wallet depends on that.
I absolutely, agree with you. Before I conceived @redfishpillar project, it was clear to me that funding would be required. I called for assistance with the introduce yourself post of the project. No one responded. Anyway, I expected that to happen and was prepared to self-fund the project, which is what I've been doing. The support, I've got so far for the programs that run on @redfishpillar is by way of upvotes, which I am very grateful for, since no one actually owes me their votes. Besides, you, @oluwoleolaide, have supported me financially with hard steem , to be able to sponsor 2 people to steemit in Nigeria (SIN) conference). Honestly, I would prefer newbies first to be team members of existing projects. When they are able to raise funds or find sponsors for their projects, they can start theirs. The population of registered steemians is getting larger and larger by the day, so after sometime they can branch out. That is my take, for now, on this issue of starting a project . Thank you so much, Captain @olowoleolaide.
Am honored ma'am....your zeal and energy challenges me day and night as i am younger and have less responsibilities than you.
