Halloween contest & promo - tricks and treats

in #halloween6 years ago (edited)

Is Halloween the thing where you live?

On Hallowe'en (All Hallows' Eve), in Poland, believers were once taught to pray out loud as they walk through the forests in order that the souls of the dead might find comfort;
- Wikipedia

Where I live, it’s not exactly very popular. At least not in the same as what you can see in American pop culture - it’s just another day to sell products and ideas.

Oh wait, I have an idea. Why don’t we use it to promote Steem?

Here’s a promo video for you to use:

Steem: set your blog in stone.

Rules:

Share this video on social media other than Steem (such as Facebook, Twitter, and so on) - but remember, no spam :) - and paste the link to such posts in the comments section below
AND / OR
paste the link to your #halloween posts on Steem for better exposure.

The three participants with the best entries will be rewarded with 10.31 SBD

I will choose the best entries based on my subjective opinion, but if there are so many great entries that I won’t be able to decide which ones are the best, I will pick the winners randomly.

Dear @kingscrown,
I agree with you - @gtg created something pretty scary right there, well done!
Btw. could it be that you have got the highest reputation on Steemit? I have never seen anyone else with 78. That is amazing. Good job, I guess.
Anyway, have a nice day my friends.
Yours truly,
Gandalf The White

Nice video, wizard, but if you are wondering what's the best music for Halloween...
It's Helloween!

I'm sorry for hijacking thread @gtg, but is it possible to avoid redirecting to different frontends while clicking on links?
When I'm on busy I want to follow links on busy, when I'm on steempeak I want to stay on steempeak.

For example when link to my post on Steemit looks like:
https://steemit.com/halloween/@gtg/halloween-contest-and-promo-tricks-and-treats
With a title: "Halloween contest & promo - tricks and treats"
I can do it "normal way" such as:
Halloween contest & promo - tricks and treats
which code looks like:
[Halloween contest & promo - tricks and treats](https://steemit.com/halloween/@gtg/halloween-contest-and-promo-tricks-and-treats)

Disadvantage is that it will work in a way as you described - you will be redirected explicitly to Steemit regardless of an interface you are using at the moment.

So much better way is to use front-end agnostic links,
i.e.:
/@{username}/{permlink}
Which gives you this:
Halloween contest & promo - tricks and treats
which code looks like:
[Halloween contest & promo - tricks and treats](/@gtg/halloween-contest-and-promo-tricks-and-treats)




PS
Next time, if you want my attention please reply to my post or comment (you replied to your own). Mentioning me is not always enough because of overwhelming mentions spam all around the palce.

Good idea, and really spooky vid!

I have also added your video to my last Halloween post, and will add it to the next two.

Good luck in promoting Steemit!

Thank you for sharing :-)

Welcome Halloween !!! Iv shared your video to my facebook

Oh wait, I have an idea. Why don’t we use it to promote Steem?

😹 Every opportunity, eh? I shared on Twitter, but can’t figure out how to get the link on my phone ‘cause I’m not a tech wizard like you. But you can see it on my profile, if you feel like looking. I’m @katrinaariel on Twitter. See you in Poland! 🎃

Thank you for sharing :-) See you soon! :-)

Sadly, I no longer participate in the devil's social media. However, my demon Russian wife does. I'll get her to post! However, kindly count us out of the running as we would like to see this going to newer, emerging users!

Cool initiative, GTG. Keep it up!

Thank you! :-)

@matt-a The most hilarious comment I have ever read in Steemit so far.I also try to avoid devil's social media but you know when some opportunity of earning comes up,then I find them extremely handy.

Best wishes to you and your wife.

Russian wife? you mean your mother? Lmao :) don't listen to this idiot. He's an ass kisser/dick-rider & str8 cyber-bully. Don't believe me check out his feed. He's exposed; he's crying. So he tries to have me "banned." how'd that work out for ya bud? Haha. Keep abusing/using inherent curation flaws/loopholes meant for authors like myself not money-grubbing bottom-feeders like yourself. Here you go:

Gotta run. Have fun. I'm just getting warmed up. I took two days off with the wifey & logged back on to find my steemrep at 5 cause this punk is hellbent on "destroying my profile" since I exposed him as the bottom-feeding parasite he is. Don't take my word for it; nor his. I've constructed all the puzzle pieces together on one paint document. Now as a neutral 3rd party observer; you can draw your own objective conclusion on whether or not this prick is "in the right" or not. This was never personal for me. Yet he thinks he can "ban" me just because he crunches numbers & steels payouts/curation rewards from real content creators. Good luck with that matty/boris. I'm not going anywhere. :) Except out with the wifey; just some food for thought for your "viewers".

And I"m the loser? My rep is 5... or was 5... after it was 65; because you spent hundreds flagging & trying to "crush" my account like an idiot. What you didn't expect was that I would push back. Don't take my word for it; don't take @matt-a's word for it; the puzzle pieces are right there, neatly packed & put together in a paint document all of 15 minutes long... You're welcome.

Happy Halloween!!
I posted your video on Twitter :)
