RE: Massive SBI giveaway - Participatory Contest to highlight future projects built on STEEM! 333 STEEM prize pool starts growing NOW!

in #buildbetter5 years ago

Hey @ecoinstant! I love this idea!

Firstly, the subject of my report is the @freewritehouse.

@freewritehouse is a non-profit that is nominally about providing opportunities for Steemians to exercise their writing muscles, but it has become so much more. As a community, @freewritehouse has worked to welcome new Steemians, and given them a daily task (#freewrite) that is both simple enough that anyone can do it, and engaging enough that it provides real value to the larger community. They've also been sponsoring contests for years that has the ultimate effect of more users spending more time on the platform. All that time on the platform makes folks invested in the success of the platform and has gotten more than one person to buy and power up Steem themselves. (I count myself among those.)

Who: the community of freewriters, founded by many, but most notably @mariannewest
What: tasks, community events, contests, writing, supporting
Where: online at @freewritehouse and @mariannewest and IRL, as freewriters have built friendships that lead them to visiting each other
When: every day, sometimes multiple times a day
Why: to engage users, to improve writing skills, to build relationships, express creativity
How: by organizing community members to reach out to each other, by offering writing prompts to get the gears turning, by hosting contests to reward engagement, by collecting knowledge and teaching resources and acting as a hub disseminating supportive, non-judgemental goofiness

Secondly,
If you'd be willing, I'd like to piggyback on your contest and say that I will send to whomever wins your contest an additional 100 SBI in @freewritehouse's name (so the syntax would be @freewritehouse:WINNER). Let me know if you're willing to take me up on that offer!

Sort:  

I am exceptionally willing! Thank you for becoming a participant AND a sponsor! :)

Excellent! Let me know when you have the winning account! You can find me in all the places you already know where to find me, ;P
