![Make friends not fans (1).png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmapQn8aZGzkDMGdaxyjxeH3xvHpYLxpxcmQ25zXS7PD6H/Make%20friends%20not%20fans%20(1).png) Steemit is overwhelming and it is hard to figure out what the hell is going on sometimes. I feel as though there are some really cool resources that are in deserving of being shared and I wanted to tell you guys about these resources! So, without any more awkwardness, lets jump into it!

1.Minnow Support Project

[Minnow Support Project](https://steemit.com/@minnowsupport) The Minnow Support Project is our first stop. They are a community driven to all the beginners on Steemit. You can get all of your questions answered by these guys. The way you reach out is simply downloading the Discord app and joining their Discord group [Here]( https://discord.gg/HYj4yvw) . If you want to check out more information on them you can go to their website http://www.minnowsupportproject.org

2. School of Minnows

[School of Minnows](https://steemit.com/@schoolofminnows) The School of Minnows is a really cool organization made by @lanmower and @thetravelingsa and it is a brilliant service. Once you sign up the service basically gives you free upvotes! Here is the explanation they give on it. >Every account in the group, when they're away from their computers, will help the rest of the members of the group with votes. so you will receive votes by being a part of the group from other group members, and when you're away for a day or so, you'll give the group votes. Voting is currently set to only activate when you have 100% free voting power and bandwidth, recycling only power and bandwidth that would otherwise go to waste. School of minnows is a really cool concept and they also have a very awesome community on discord. Join their community on discord [Here](discord.gg/uqV3Hna)..
