# Hello dear minnows! ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQeDzYEAf4cVhEuLxiLY8cQyngCmUeeP9BfusWvXBGt97/image.png) https://steemitimages.com/DQmQwYBARv2y2XNNh4Cfkac4dR8jH4DBnWoeQWXGREo7EkC/4.png * Seeing as the [**Feed Your Minnows**](https://steemit.com/giveaway/@oleg326756/feed-your-minnows-series-episode-18-100-sbd-post-payout-to-my-followers) giveaway series is going strong, growing in popularity and attracting new participants every week and * Noticing new approaches and innovative ideas in this minnows-feeding business, as demonstrated by @scrooger with his #feedyourminnows [**bot**](https://steemit.com/feedyourminnows/@scrooger/feed-your-minnows-bot-free-upvote-giveaway-season-32-registration-or-rules-changed-please-read) and compiled in [this excellent post](https://steemit.com/howto/@fitinfun/minnow-tips-get-upvotes-now) by @fitinfun …I decided to try something new, **in addition** to the long-running and much-beloved ***“Feed Your Minnows”*** giveaway. https://steemitimages.com/DQmQwYBARv2y2XNNh4Cfkac4dR8jH4DBnWoeQWXGREo7EkC/4.png ## A New Upvotes Giveaway
The new giveaway will be similar to what @scrooger is doing with [his awesome bot](https://steemit.com/feedyourminnows/@scrooger/feed-your-minnows-bot-free-upvote-giveaway-season-32-registration-or-rules-changed-please-read). Instead of getting a share of SBD rewards sent directly to your wallet, as in [my other ***“Feed Your Minnows”*** giveaway](https://steemit.com/giveaway/@oleg326756/feed-your-minnows-series-episode-18-100-sbd-post-payout-to-my-followers) (where the last couple of episodes saw payouts between **0.02** and **0.07 SBD** per minnow), all participating minnows will be getting a 20%-voting power upvote from me, currently worth about **2–3 cents** (depending on the current price of STEEM and on my total STEEM POWER, of course). **To make it clear:** this is a **new, additional** giveaway that will run in parallel with the existing **“Feed Your Minnows”** giveaway. The former is **not replacing** the latter, it is just creating additional opportunities for small minnows to feed more often and share rewards from different streams and in different forms. https://steemitimages.com/DQmQwYBARv2y2XNNh4Cfkac4dR8jH4DBnWoeQWXGREo7EkC/4.png ## How to participate:
Every week I will publish a new episode of ***“Feed Your Minnows Upvotes Giveaway”***. This post doubles as **The Episode 1** of the new series. In order to participate and earn my upvote, **you have to take three easy steps**: 1) Resteem this post 2) Make your own post on your blog with **#feedme** included somewhere in the post title and also as **one of the tags** of your post 3) Send me (@oleg326756) a wallet message with the word **feedme** in the memo (it can be **0.001 SBD/STEEM** or more, if you like :)) – exactly the same way as it works with @scrooger’s @feedyourminnows bot. > *You **don’t have to** upvote my post or leave a comment in order to participate in this giveaway, but if you do, I will surely appreciate it a lot!* Once you have done all three steps, I will visit the post you created in **Step 2** and upvote it with 20% of my voting power. I hope that more people will upvote your posts, thus increasing your potential reward, so that in the end you will get more than 2 or 3 cents that my upvote alone is worth. **Just think how awesome it would be if all the participating minnows upvoted each other’s posts, thus sharing the rewards all around! It will be a beautiful thing.** The giveaway will go on for **7 days OR until the next episode is published on my blog**, whichever happens first. https://steemitimages.com/DQmQwYBARv2y2XNNh4Cfkac4dR8jH4DBnWoeQWXGREo7EkC/4.png ## Now, let’s get this feeding frenzy started! ![](https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/06/cd/aa/06cdaa06c916f83622c9930b463e0f36.gif) ____ [
