The 'Push People'-initiative.

This project was born due to a simple idea. I asked myself, *"would it be possible to create minnows in a rapid way, to ultimately empower the entire platform?"* - The platform's response was incredible and we've already pushed **11** people in total. However, due to the amazing success we've had, and due to my [current situation](https://steemit.com/writing/@hitmeasap/open-letter-to-everyone-or-push-people-initiative-updates-and-more), I'm no longer in a position where I'm able to search this entire platform for good, eligible candidates to push. Another deciding factor for these changes was the fact that I might have looked *biased* in my selection, as I picked people based on my own opinion and feelings. I never received any complaints, and even though everyone seemed to have been perfectly fine with my decisions, it would feel better and more *"professional"*, if the candidates were picked **without** my personal opinion as the decision maker. This is why some changes have been made, but before going into that, I want to share some more details about this project. --- https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVKPApAPapqPxXenSSjqKGKYQ9VhoQK3yA2Z6c7nq6D8Z/downarrows.png ---

As I have been working hard for a long period of time to support, inspire, encourage and motivate others around me, I was looking for something new to do **more**. I was looking for something new, fresh and cool. I was looking for something that never had been done before, at least not in the same way as I had in mind. My goal was to create something that would operate with **generosity** as the driving factor. I truly believe that one simple act of kindness can create an endless ripple, so I wanted something that would be based on the **'pay it forward'** mentality. Take a look at the image above. This is the concept behind it all. In a nutshell, I brought the idea to Steemit. One small act of kindness. I paved the way, and others followed suit. Being involved in a push creates a ripple effect. Not only can I feel good about doing something for someone else, I also **benefit** by doing that in many different ways. At least in theory. The only thing missing in the image above is more arrows pointing in my direction. This is a sure way to rapidly grow more users which ultimately leads to a bigger, stronger and more engaging platform, that **everyone** benefits from! I know that some people look at this as pure **charity**, and everyone is entitled to their opinions but this is **not** like any other *"charity events"* you've seen. This is the **fastest**, **easiest** and most **selfless** approach to create our **first** real **middle class** on Steemit. --- ![apply.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmX2SDmzGBKyLzhnTGg9XJfB61xythyVjAajy19QAvhTgv/apply.png) ---

Requirements & Application Process

We **only** push active people who are dedicated and spam-free. The users we push must have **less** than **500** Steem Power, but preferably **more** than **450**. We will **not** push people who're in the middle of a power down as that will be contradictory to our entire purpose. Reputation score doesn't matter, but people who're repeatedly getting flags will **not** be eligible for a community push.

How To Apply?

As of now, there are **two** ways to apply for a community push. You can leave a **comment** in **any** of my future articles (including this), stating that you **apply** for a **Community Push** or contact me on **Discord** (*ID: EviLDoLLTV#9035*). **Problem finding me?

--- > **Note:** I will write a new post each week, with one or more users to push, (one per week during this initial stage). I reserve the right to ban or disqualify users if and when someone doesn't comply to- or fails to meet the given requirements and rules. Also, as this is based upon peoples ability, and willingness to help fellow Steemians, there are **no** guarantees for a successful push. ---
