![help earning rewards.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmf7diLEETVkbH2dirpqwFh8fm2iqW5DNYWEfFKxdn3nEy/help%20earning%20rewards.jpg) You've heard the old adage about giving a man a fish and he eats for a day... well give a Steemer the tools to write really compelling blogs and they'll be opening Michelin starred restaurants within a year!

There are lots of ways to increase your rewards, but none quite as powerful as making sure that your content is something people really want to connect with.

For sure, you can go and get some bot upvotes, but for the most part these upvotes are limited, and it's not really the most sustainable way, mostly because so many people are using the upvote bots, so their voting power has to be spread quite thin in order to continually make payouts to more users.

A smarter way of increasing your upvotes is to continually improve your posts, and make sure people are connecting with them, and curating on them.

And this is what @minnowmentor is all about. We want to help you to improve your posts by providing real feedback from humans. We effectively help Semmians who are strugging to get seen, let alone get upvotes and resteems. And it's all done without sending your SBD for a bit of an upvote from a bot...it's real, experienced Steemers helping out newer ones.

HOW TO USE MINNOWMENTOR

Pop along to the MinnowMentor discord channel. You can find it by using the invite here: https://discord.gg/KHnZNf9 Come in and introduce yourself, and pop a post with the #minnowmentor tag in it on there. A mentor will have a look at it, review it and give you feedback. That's it. If you have a reputation of 50 or below this is free! If you have a reputation of 50 or above, we would ask for a small donation to @minnowmentor (you choose how to value it, there is no minimum donation)

HOW TO SUPPORT MINNOWMENTOR

* UPVOTING Obviously, upvoting posts, particularly those made by people who have used the #minnowmentor tag in their post. * DELEGATING You can also delegate Steem Power to the service, and earn a share of the rewards that @minnowmentor posts make. Half of the SBD rewards that @minnowmentor makes will go to the mentors for giving up their time. The other half will go directly to those who delegate Steem Power. We hope as @minnowmentor grows that the rewards will grow as well, meaning that @minnowmentor is a very worthwhile delegated investment for your Steem Power. Find out more in the discord channel by talking to me @anarcotech * MENTORING You could also support us if you have the time by becoming a mentor. Come and talk to me @anarcotech in the discord channel.
