Show Your Support to Others

in #community6 years ago

rocks_your_boat.jpg

My co-worker introduced me to this blogging platform but since he is a passive delegator to bots, I had to wander this STEEM blockchain on my own. ALL the support I received thus far are from individuals I’ve met on the blockchain. I likely would have given up ages ago if not for the kindness others shown me while I fumbled around trying to find my identity here (still am really).

Here is my way of giving back.

Will require trust and faith in the STEEM community

Plenty of Community Support Out There!

There are many community efforts out there helping users with SP delegation, pushing Redfishes to become Minnows, Minnows to become Dolphins, etc. Many of these initiatives ask that users post frequently, power up their STEEM, involved in communities, etc.

I for one understand the challenges of posting frequently. As for engaging in communities, well, I’m selective where I want to spend my free time. Being a working professional and parent, the real world will always top my priorities. I’m lucky to find free time to respond to comments or do some light curation.

Reasons why users may not ‘qualify’ for the community support:

  1. Everyone’s financial situation is different. Individuals in other parts of the world may have to power down to help with expenses.

  2. Not everyone is a blogger. Not everyone will have the polished posts needed to receive support from curation guilds.

  3. Some people prefer to use their earning to invest in Steem Monters cards.

  4. Being active in Communities is a time commitment. Some users on here are working professionals and parents. The engagement level required to effectively receive community support is unreachable for some.

Here is my proposal, for anyone interested.

It is a small initiative, but let’s see how it turns out? I don’t need the STEEM myself, but perhaps someone will. Everyone’s situation is different.

Everyone will be contributing $20 STEEM to support a community of 20 people.

Without being detrimental to any one individual.
• Weekly, every interested party will contribute $1 STEEM (sent to me).
• Pot would be $20/STEEM a week.
• A name from the list will be randomly selected every week and the person will be the beneficiary of the $20 Steem collected from all members. Your name will be removed once selected. You are still required to contribute $1 Steem a week until the end of the 20-week period!
• I will be the last recipient at the 20-week mark.

Purpose?

• Use the STEEM to power up.
• Use the STEEM to buy Steem Monsters cards.
• Use the STEEM for real life uses.
• Help others while still helping yourself.

Qualifications?

Only two really.

  1. No matter what you do with the STEEM, you have to WANT to stay on here. Don't give up!

  2. I have to know you. We don't even have to like each other. As long as I've seen you around! Sorry, that’s a given and here is why. IF anyone decides to default on their $20 STEEM commitment, I will personally add in the funds. I have that amount covered on the exchange.

Requirement:

I'll write a post every Saturday announcing the name randomly selected for that week. Simply send in the $1 STEEM for the next week once you see the post.

Why Should I Trust You?

If you don’t trust me, then we must not know each other. I suggest you find another community support project.

Other Ideas to Come Later

I'm toying around with some other ideas to show my small support to the participants. Haven't fine-tuned those ideas yet. It may involve setting up an account where I'll work with @davemccoy to help my fellow Redfishes and Minnows participate in Steem Monsters if they are interested. I am still behind with game rules, tbh.

All I know is that once the kickstarter package is delivered, I'll have a maxed out regular and gold summoner for gameplay. That has to mean something right?

That’s it. Who is game?

Let's start this Saturday, 10/13. The maximum number of people for this round is 20, but we don't need to reach that quantity to start. If there are only 5 people interested, then the pot will be $5 STEEM and the community project will last 5 weeks 😂.

List will close Friday. Send in 1 STEEM by Friday to be added to the list.

Transfer complete....count me in:)

Glad to have you onboard @palikari123. The more the merrier! :)

Of course I will play! Love anything that has no posting requirement.

We don't even have to like each other. As long as I've seen you around!

Well there is that part. We will just have to try and get along I suppose.

Abraham Hicks? Funny coincidence. One of their audio books popped up on my auto play list yesterday.

I want to post more often, but it's hard finding time to write. We both need to step up our game though! Or count on Steem Monsters for our earnings.

Well there is that part. We will just have to try and get along I suppose.

Smile and go on with our day. 😀

I have another revelation..I actually had no idea who Abraham Hicks was until this quote. I saw the quote and thought it fitting. I don't listen to inspirational audiobooks, but maybe I will give her a try one day.

Absolutely agree. I am still horrible about posting. I guess I just don't feel I have anything of much interest to say certainly not every day.
Don't even mention Monster cards. Poor Dave was nice enough to set me up with a team and everything. I still haven't even considered summoners and the like. So Steem Monsters is not very likely to earn me much.
I do ok with a couple of engagement contest if I focus on it. I still can do better with that than posts.

Smile and go on with our day. 😀

Just teasing. You know you are beloved by all.

I am not so sure about the Abraham teachings. Was listening to Louise Hay when that popped up.

I guess I just don't feel I have anything of much interest to say certainly not every day.

I tried writing a post the other day and stopped when all I came up with were a few lines. Who wants to hear about my mundane day at work?

Me beloved? By a few friends, yes. Crickets chirping on this post. That's okay though. This is my way of giving back. I'm very happy you saw this post and decided to join! More fun to come later. ;)

At this very moment I have joined u logs and am in the process of writing random drivel.
We shall see what becomes of that. In the past I have done the same ... delete that mess lol
I have great admiration for Sir. Terry, it is just not my style to use the internet for a diary.
Since I am in @minnowbuilder I have a responsibility to get out a few posts.
Maybe I can get back into the flow of my little fiction story.
I did decide to start doing a post maybe once a month to highlight projects helpful to the growth of little fish. I added your post to that. Not that I get a lot of traffic but a backlink can't hurt.
Look forward to seeing what you are up to. I definitely need to lighten up a bit.
Steemit was suppose to be an escape and it is becoming far to serious these days.

Sounds good to me, I'm in!

Woohoo! You're the first member @eoj! If no one else is in, there will just be the two of us! :)

I wanted to send a baby gift, but it completely slipped my mind! I just sent you a small gift. Congrats on having a new addition to the family. :)

Oh my, THANK YOU! That's incredibly sweet of you!! Please accept @suitcasemama and I's sincere thanks, we're a bit in shock! That's NOT a small gift, that's like 20% of my SP! haha! Powering it all up now, minus the $1 Steem and the amount needed to order an "I Heart @beeyou" onesie for the baby!! :)

You're welcome @eoj. Lol on the ❤️ onesie. Don't forget to put a steem logo somewhere on there to promote STEEM! ;)

Enjoy the precious moments with your family! I have you on the list. :)

I'm in... sending now!

Awesome @davemccoy! I received your Steem. I think it'll be a great way to help others and glad to see you onboard. :)

As for Steem Monsters, I'll never find time to catch up. Will probably have to be thrown into the game this Sunday and learn there.

yes that will be the way that most people learn, so no worries ;) ... and you're really a smart bee so I have no worries whatsoever that you will be a champion by the end of the first week! :D

Did you ever open your 100 packs??? I mean come on, how patient can one person be??? :P

We will see! I have not opened the pack yet. More packs will be coming in when the kickstarter is delivered. I'm not a collector and not in a rush. As long as I can still enjoy the game. Patience is a virtue! :)

well you must be very virtuous then... because you are "monk-like" with your patience!

This isn’t my thing, so I’ll just upvote and wish you the best. Good luck to you and your participants on having extra funds to spend! xx

Hey @linnyplant. No worries. We all have our own way of showing support to others. I do appreciate you stopping by. Some people would have read it and simply not comment if not interested. ;)

Oops, sorry beeyou! I only commented because it was you, and wanted to let you know I cared and wasn’t ignoring your posts. I’ll do what others do next time. Just felt I was doing that too much lately on your blog as Steemmonster isn’t my thing either. You are always writing lovely comments on my blog, but I’m digging a deeper hole...Will be quiet. :(
