Steem Cameroon Community Application

Community Purpose

Steem Cameroon is a community for Cameroonian steemians in Cameroon and around the globe that has as its principal objectives to raise awareness, recruit, mentor, curate, and support Cameroonian steemians.

The community is unique in that it represents the country, Cameroon and It’s the only Steemit Community for Cameroon. The community is open to Cameroonian steemians as well as Steemians who are interested in learning more about Cameroon while supporting the community's growth. Some key aspects that make the community worth joining include;

  1. The community was selected as a Tier 1 Booming Community Support Community
  2. The community provides opportunities for partnership via its 100K SP Shares Program wherein Cameroonian Steemians can own shares of @steem-cameroon hence be able to grow and earn from the Communities Shares Program.
  3. The community is providing high delegation rewards i.e. 01 Steem per 100 SP delegated per month. More details here: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/steem-cameroon-delegations-reward-program
  4. The community reviews and curates all her members' blogs/posts giving them feedback on how they can become better and successful steemians.
  5. The community promotes equity in the distribution of her @steemcurator04 and @booming upvotes making sure all members benefit
  6. The community organizes juicy and rewarding contests for its community members.

We've achieved this tremendous growth via the Cameroon Steemit Njangi and 100K SP Shares Program, the Steem Cameroon Delegations Reward Program, increased Steemit Team support, and increased activity with the @steem-cameroon community account.

The country representatives @thegreens and @saxopedia, as well as the MOD, @fombae all, have access to voting with the community account as well as account keys and have even created a weekly blogs review and curation roster and you can read here: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/steem-cameroon-weekly-blog-review-and-curation-roster-updated

Engagement and Commenting

Ever since we created the Steem Cameroon Weekly Blogs Review and Curation Roster, we have been leaving a lot of feedback on the posts of Cameroonian Steemians. We are now commenting on over 80% of the posts in our community but most importantly reviewing the blogs of all the registered members of the Steem Cameroon community on a weekly basis.

You can learn more about the Weekly Blogs Review and Curation Roster here: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/steem-cameroon-weekly-blog-review-and-curation-roster-updated

We've also set some basic engagement and commenting rules for members of our community with respect to @steem-cameroon's posts. Members of our community are required to comment, upvote, and resteem @steem-cameroon posts to be eligible for @steemcurator04 and @booming upvotes. More about this can be read here: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/steem-cameroon-posts-interaction-obligations

In a bid to promote inter-steemians' engagement and commenting, we have created different WhatsApp groups;

  • We have the Steemit Cameroon WhatsApp Group which is meant for general discussions among Cameroonian steemians and the welcoming of Newbies.
  • We have the Steemit Achievement Tasks Group which is meant only for the sharing of achievement tasks for easy verification by the admins
  • We have the Steemit Links Group which is meant for the sharing of post links. In this group, we have a basic rule of upvoting and commenting on at least two posts before you share your post link. Through this, we are promoting support and engagement among Cameroonian steemians.

Plans and Updates

We often post plans and updates of our community using our community account on a weekly basis. We make sure that we provide reports of the different activities such as contests, the SP Achievement Pledge Program, the Power Up Challenge, the 100K SP Shares Project and the Cameroon Steemit Njangi immediately after the reports are due.
All our community activities are reported using the community account, @steem-cameroon.

We have an SP Target roadmap for our community wherein we want to hit 100K SP in two years. This explains why we started the Cameroon Steemit Njangi and 100K SP Shares Program: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/cameroon-steemit-njangi-and-shares-program-weekly-report-sunday-17-october-2021

We even went further and pledged to hit 50K SP by December 2021 and you can read our pledge and plan here; https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/steem-cameroon-pledges-to-hit-50k-sp-by-december-31-2021-or-the-sp-achievement-pledge-program

We are currently working on starting the following project;

  1. Dormant Steemians Reawakening Project: A project aimed at finding, mentoring and reawakening dormant Cameroonian steemians.
  2. Steem Cameroon Newbies Mentorship Program: A project aimed at pairing active Cameroonian Steemians who are advanced or have completed the Steemit Achievement Program with Newbies for them to mentor and support them to complete the Steemit Achievement Program against juicy rewards.
  3. Steem Cameroon Upvotes and Comments Challenge to be coordinated by @majerius: A project aimed at rewarding Cameroonian steemians who are upvoting and commenting on posts.
  4. Steem Cameroon Charity Program:So far, we've been able to raise funds to support two Cameroonian Steemians; @metugejacy20 and @stephankhoti. @metugejacy's mum was critically sick when she asked for support from the community and response was amazing. You can read here story here: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@metugejacy20/my-appreciation-to-the-steem-cameroon-community
    Meanwhile @stephankhoti's sister had a ghastly motor accident and we immediately put our heads, hearts and steem wallets to support him as you can read here: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@thegreens/emergency-health-fundraising-update-for-stephankhoti-s-sister-who-was-involved-in-a-ghastly-accident
    These two charity projects have inspired us to start working on Steem Cameroon Charity Program. We believe we can use the power of Steem to change the lives of millions of Cameroonians out there.

Within Steem, we are promoting our community via amazing contests organized strictly for members of our community, via active blogging as well as via our Delegations Reward Program that offers the best rewards to delegators. We recently relaunched the Cameroon Steemit Program.

The Cameroon Steemit Program

WhatsApp Image 2021-08-12 at 21.37.33.jpeg

The Cameroon Steemit Steemit Program aims at raising awareness about Steemit as well as recruiting and retaining Cameroonians to the Steem blockchain.
The principal goal of the program is to raise awareness about Steemit to over one million Cameroonians as well as recruit, reward and retain over 250 Cameroonians to Steemit before December 2021 as you can read here: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/cameroon-steemit-program-recruit-reward-and-retain

The 100K SP Shares Program and Cameroon Steemit Njangi

WhatsApp Image 2021-06-02 at 19.50.35.jpeg

In a bid to build a self-reliant account, we launched the 100K SP Shares Program which is powered by the Cameroon Steemit Njangi, a socio-economic initiative that pumps in 104SBD monthly for the community account power-up.
The Cameroon Steemit 100K SP Shares Program has 100 Shares of 1000SP each which have been given out to Cameroonian Steemians to pay for a maximum duration of 2 years.
56 shares have so far been given out to 25 Cameroonian Steemians via the Cameroon Steemit Njangi. 44 more shares will be sold in the months ahead.
By May 2022, these 25 Shareholders are expected to have raised the SP of @steem-cameroon by 28K Steem, and by May 2023, they are expected to have injected 56K SP into @steem-cameroon.

Besides the 100K SP Shares Program which is powered by the Cameroon Steemit Njangi, we are also powering up our account via delegations and giving our delegators juicy rewards of 01 Steem per 100 SP delegated per month as you can read here; https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/steem-cameroon-delegations-reward-program

We hope to review and encourage our members to delegate at least 50K SP by December 2021 so that we can achieve our 50K SP Pledge target as you can read here: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/steem-cameroon-pledges-to-hit-50k-sp-by-december-31-2021-or-the-sp-achievement-pledge-program

Our recent Delegations Review, Recommendations and Rewards targets to move our account delegated SP to at least 30K Steem as you can read here: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/steem-cameroon-delegations-review-recommendations-and-rewards-report-001-or-steem-cameroon-moves-to-28k-sp

WhatsApp Image 2021-09-25 at 14.04.19.jpeg

Anything Else

@Steem-cameroon should be selected for the Communities Support Program because;

  1. We are the fastest growing community securing and powering up 108 SBD monthly from the Cameroon Steemit Njangi and 100K SP Shares Program
  2. We have a solid and very reliable plan to build our community account to 100K SP in two years independent of Steemit Team support.
  3. We have innovative programs such as the Cameroon Steemit Njangi that economically empowers our members, the SP Achievement Pledge Program, and coming up is the Steemit Newbies Encouragement Program.
  4. We are working on a 5 years strategic plan for Steem Cameroon known as the Cameroon Steemit Program. A 05 months plan was recently published as you can read here: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/cameroon-steemit-program-recruit-reward-and-retain
  5. We have experienced and well-trained Steemians at the helm of leadership of our community who master the knowledge and art of steeming
  6. Our community blog is very active posting updates from our different initiatives.
  7. We encourage #steemexclusive posts in our community
  8. We're effective in communication and collaboration as well as supportive to each other in our community.
  9. Our Steem vision for our members and community account is huge

Wow that's a good program I must testify it, many of us at times feel lazy and reluctant because we don't take time to read, understand and do what is required. Am also happy if something is really done on voting and commenting many comments but do not upvote. Too if seminars are organised so that we meet face to face and share some of these things it will be better. I was empty as steem is concern and wanted to give up until I tabled my problem to @chiabertrand before I can see many, understand things which were there. So I really plead that face to face meetings should be frequent for now and for these creating other people accounts should take time and mentor them or teach them well then we will grow well. Many don't know where they can vote, resteem even though some are lazy to read. Thanks so much for this post am so happy and I will be willing to learn more
