# ***I'm @gogogadgetupvote.*** 
## This is my new project to help support new users joining the platform.
 I remember being a new user on **Steemit**, and how hard it seemed to be to catch a break (*and score any upvotes on my posts*). I also remember how exciting it was to see my posts get **Upvoted**, and the excitement of *watching a posts value increase*. ***I want to help spread that excitement to more new users joining Steemit!*** Getting new users **ON** the platform is only one part of making this ***the best place to spend time on the internet.*** Making new users more excited to create posts by increasing the value of their posts, will help us **all** grow on the platform. I remember getting about six dollars for my [**introduction post**](https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@gogogadget/i-am-not-a-robot-gadget-was-a-cyborg-and-i-still-need-more-upgrades) and my rep jumped from **(25)** to **(40)**. ***It was really exciting!!  I want to share that feeling!***

When I joined **Steemit**, the price of Steem was about seven cents each. I bought most of mine out of pocket (*I spent about **200USD** and came out with just shy of 2000 Steempower*) and the price of steem has done little but go up since then. ***I kind of feel like I bought a winning lottery ticket!!!*** I'm not trying to brag. I just want to give back! I can't make the price of **Steem** go up **2000%** for every new user that joins the platform. So to give back to the community and the platform, I want to use my "*lottery winnings*" to support as many of the new users joining the platform every day!

As often as I can I will be looking for new user **#introduceyourself** and **#introducemyself** posts (*since people seem to be using both tags now*) to reward people ***JUST*** *for joining* ***Steemit!*** I will also **Re-Steem** a few intro posts every day. ***This is going to be a big job***. I am sure that I won't be able to find **ALL** of the posts deserving an upvote every day. *Please feel free to drop me links to the introduction posts of your friends and family, co-workers, or just any intro post you happen to come across*. I am a **HUGE** fan of the *community engagement* aspect of **Steemit**, so I also plan to upvote **other user's projects**. Anything that helps the platform grow as a whole. ***I also love contests***. *They are a fantastic way for new users to meet like minded people already on the platform.* ***Drop me a link to your project, or contest, and I will try to give those upvotes, too!***

I am by no means an expert on **Steemit**. This is just an idea that I had, and wanted to give it a try. ***You never get anywhere without taking that first step.*** *If anyone has any advice on ways that I can make this project more successful, please feel free to comment below!* You can help me support new users by **Upvoting** and **Resteeming** this post, or if you believe in my project, you can delegate Steempower to this account. (*I am still fuzzy on how to do that, my brother showed me how to give some of my SP to this account to get it started*) I love **Steemit** and *truly want to see this place grow*, and see as many new users happy to be a part of this awesome platform as possible.  Please feel free to give me any feedback in the comments! ***For now I am off to find some intro posts to upvote!!!***
