That sounds absolutely amazing. Any help in launching any organised effort to help strengthen the platform at a grass roots level would be happily accepted. Feel free to reach out to me anytime with any thoughts on the matter. Thank you so much for reading the post and look forward to hearing from you.

Here are my thoughts. First I completely agree with what you are doing and love the concept. Second, I think we can start a new hash tag and call it #newbieresteemday. We will both write a post to promote the concept of "regulars" (note: not sure what to call us over 40 minnows, so if you have a better description that's cool) taking a single day to devote their blog to resteeming new and interesting people... So if I have a slow day and I want to help in this way, then I as a "regular" will use my blog for this purpose (in the way you describe above). The reason I suggest a "day" is so that people don't try to do this everyday and get distracted with other things. Its like saying to yourself, "today I'm going to help 20 newbies and that's my goal and objective". Of course probably wouldn't do it every day, but as me and you do it, then others might decide to do it too. FYI, I'm willing to devote a day to making a blog posts like you did and using it to take suggestions from others to resteem. Its like being a point-guard in basketball and assisting teammates. Third. I think we should "name it"... as silly as it sounds, I've learned that when you name an initiative or program it will over time take hold. I suggest something simple that is self-descriptive like the tagline I suggested: The Newbie Resteem Day Initiative. Fourth, I suggest we ask for volunteers to join this iniative and become "founding members"... So technically we would both first send out a post asking which of our members would like to be a founding member and pledge to do what we are doing at least one day a week. We might get 10 or 20 more to join us. Fifth, I suggest that we get a logo created by one of the more artistic people here. We could have a contest to have people make submissions and use the upvote of the contest to give the SBD earned as a prize. Sixth, I have made enough suggestions but I would say that I like your approach. You have given "suggested guidelines" which is cool and we can see how many "founding members" join us and then we can have a majority rules guideline selection for rules going forward. Let me know what you think, and make any changes or suggestions as you feel appropriate. Its a great idea and I think we can make an impact with it.

Absolutely awesome suggestions. You and I both could begin this as a project under the structure you just suggested and of it could have a real positive impact. In regards to setting a "Newbie Resteem Initiative Day" we could approach it as follows: Start with the invite post as you suggested inviting members to join the initiative, set a day every week in which we publish a post talking about the project and promoting it to other users. Then set another day in which you or I or both write a news letter of sorts on how the initiative is going, talk about promising new users who we have found who arrived on the platform and benefited from advice, resteeming, and any guidance offered, in each weekly news letter pick ten five or three or one new users promising post and use the pay out from the votes gained on the posts to promote it. If the post we have put up on the initiative hasn't flown then I'll put 1 SBD in to get it into promoted, if the posts do fly with a high payout on either of our blogs then a portion of the post pay out in SBD can go towards the promoted post or posts we have picked. A voting structure from founding members can be used to decide this as well. In regards to founding members, that's an awesome idea. The question is how small we keep that number or how large it is in regards to founding members. I have seen a lot of initiatives picked up and dropped on Steemit so we would have to ask ourselves which users we know of who will truly stay committed to promoting new users and not just ride a tag for votes. I have a couple of users in mind who are great blokes that may be interested and I'm sure you know a few as well. In regards to art logo's, it's funny you mention that as I found a newbie today who struck me as a great person to ask about this as art is her main theme on Steemit. I'll make inquiries today if she is interested in helping. If you would really like to joint me in running point on this as an initiative I'm more than happy to star it over the weekend. Tonight I will set up an email specifically for this initiative and for contacting me off site and relay that to you, and from there you can contact me with suggestions and ideas around it. I apologize for the sloppy structure of the response btw. It's one of those freezing cold mornings in the UK and I'm just waking up and brushing the cobwebs off. If you respond today I'm back at the keyboard tonight and will be straight on it as I'm quite keen to start something like this for the benefit of the platform. I'm out today doing a Steemit meet up with two other members and we are touring old villages monasteries and churches in our quite corner of Ol' Blighty so today is pretty much a full Steeming day. Look forward to your response and thank you for your wonderful suggestions.
