• We have grown our SP significantly this month by powering up and receiving more delegations and doing voting on all the posts. If some posts got skipped that might be due to extra load but we check the payout section of community posts so any post reaching payout deadline will get voting. We can say that almost 100% of the posts in community are getting voted by curation account.

Why SIZ should Get the Support?

We have improved many things since last month that is shared above and we believe in continuous improvement to make a better ecosystem.

SIZ has shown full commitment to implement #club5050 in the community and members have responded well. SIZ will make sure that all the members will join Club5050 and we will make sure that only those members will get support that are in the club5050.

SIZ community members are making more efforts to provide educational content specially SIZ approved courses. Their efforts should be recognized through the voting support. In this way, we will get more members starting valuable tutorials and courses globally through our collaboration with Steem Skillshare community and it will ultimately help achieve the community main goal that is to empower the people to learn some great skills that will help them in their life.

Since, the community have started, the founder @cryptokraze has used all his steemit rewards to grow the community and support the members through contests and other support programs. We have not withdrawn a single steem since this community is started and @cryptokraze has used his personal resources to run various SIZ Projects.

SIZ has always encourages #steemexclusive content in our community and we will not allow cross posting in our community.

Lastly, we assure steemit team that we will not use any kind support for our personal gains. All the support received will be used to grow the community and support the hardworking members as you might have observed from our September activities.

The main objective of Steem Infinity Zone is to empower people and we need your support to make a positive impact on lives of many because 1 small vote can worth huge for some student who is struggling to manage his study expenses or a housewife who is finding it hard to manage expenses of her children.
