## I want to adopt a minnow  

If you were paying attention this week, this platform had a wonderful idea that was started. The idea originated from [@whatsup](https://steemit.com/adoptaminnow/@whatsup/adoptaminnow-brandyb-is-graduating) and came to fruition by [@brandyb](https://steemit.com/adoptaminnow/@brandyb/hey-steemit-come-join-in-the-fun-and-adopt-a-minnow) running with it. So, this week after talking with @brandyb I decided that it was a great idea to **Adopt a Minnow**. If you follow me or have heard about me at all in one way or another I do what I can on this platform to help others whether it is by running an [Art Contest](https://steemit.com/contest/@topkpop/jenny-s-art-contest-week-15-post-your-submission-here-winner-announcement), taking the time to judge contests outside of that as well like the [Karaoke Contest](https://steemit.com/karaokecontest/@killerwhale/karaoke-week-24-1st-2nd-and-3rd-prizes-20-sbd-up-for-grabs) and KillerPix Contest both run by @killerwhale, or running the [Alpha Syndicate](https://steemit.com/thealliance/@topkpop/how-i-found-part-of-my-family-on-steemit-the-alliance-and-how-to-join) of #thealliance and [#steemusa](https://steemit.com/@steemusa) or just generally guide people how I can. So, naturally, this is something I thought was a great idea for me to try. 

I have never adopted a minnow before, so this is a bit new to me. I have, however, guided quite a few people through training them to increase the quality of their blogs, the quality of their comments, some basic markdown, and just provide overall support. I am sure a few people can attest to that. So, when I was thinking about this whole endeavor I was asking myself what I thought the best way to go about finding my minnow was, and I came up with this. 

### Tell me why I should adopt you (a minnow)  

Are you a minnow?  
Do you need/want some extra support? 
Are you enthusiastic and willing to learn?  

Great! Those are just the basics. Here is what I am looking for in a minnow to adopt, please read below.

### Topkpop's requirements for her minnow:    

> I am looking for a minnow that will not only want to receive support but is willing to give it. 
> I feel I could best help a minnow who creates content in a few spaces (Preferably Music/ or music related, Art, Video/Vlogs, Photography, Poetry, and Gaming)  
> Someone who is enthusiastic and willing to learn  
> Must have at least 5 quality posts 
> A person who is here to face their fears/get out of their comfort zone or is desiring to do so  
> Someone who wants to build their confidence a bit (ideal) 
> Be genuine & desire meeting a new friend 

### Here is what you get from me:  

> A huge supporter that will comment and upvote your posts and engage with you  
> I will give you a resteem on quality posts at least once a week  
> If you are doing well enough I will mention you in a post once a week and maybe even on my radio show  
> I will help guide you and give you the knowledge that I have and with tips to improve  
> I will be available on discord (if you choose to use it) daily so you can ask questions, get guidance, and whatever else  
> Be genuine and honest with you  
> Help you in whatever ways I can that will benefit you if I think of them  
> I will delegate you some steempower (amount I see fit)  
> I will do this for a month Jan 21st - Feb 19th  

### How do you apply to become my minnow?  
That's the fun part! I want you to be creative. I like creative. If you want to be considered then I need you to write a post. In the post answer these questions:  
* Why should I adopt you?  
* How will you be a supportive minnow?  
* Write a nice little blurb about someone you follow, I want to hear something nice about them  
* Use the tag #adoptaminnow    

That's it! Then come into the comment section on this post and post your link. You have a couple of days. My cut off for this will be Saturday, January 20th. I will make my decision and make a post about it the next day. 

#### I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
