1000 DAYS OF STEEM : Six New Country Representatives
We have been busy the last few weeks with the Crypto Challenges and the like but now we want to get back to the important business of expanding the Country Representatives network.
There are already 36 Country Reps doing a great job helping to build Steem around the world.
This week we would like to add six more to the team.
New Country Representatives
With the growing number of new Steemians in Venezuela we would like to invite three more people to join the Country Rep team there...
In Nigeria @focusnow and the SteemAlive team are doing some great recruitment so we would also like to invite two more people to become Country Reps there as well...
Finally, for this round, we have also invited @saxopedia to become a second Country Representative in Cameroon.
If these people would like to take up the offer to become Country Representatives please comment with your acceptance below and then we will arrange for the 5000 SP delegation to be sent.
Once accepted, these new Country Reps should be incorporated into the relevant @steemcurator curation teams.
Expanding the Country Representative Network
We plan on continuing to expand the number of Country Reps around the world so we are always on the look out for more potential candidates.
Our goal is to have enough Reps in place so that every post gets visited by at least one Rep.
We would like to see Reps commenting and engaging on every post in their country, offering support, encouragement and guidance.
We would like to see Reps checking in on all Steemians in their country, especially newer ones, to ensure they know how to vote optimally and how to claim rewards.
How many Reps will be needed to reach this level of coverage we are not sure yet. We had thought that about one Rep for every 40 active Steemians would be enough but it seems this is not sufficient so we are now looking to double up on this. We will now be targeting at least one Rep for every 20 active Steemians.
This increased ratio will also pass more voting power into each country community as we delegate 5000 SP to every Country Representative.
Rewarding the Country Representatives
We are also reviewing how Country Reps are rewarded for their efforts.
Currently they receive the 5000 SP, additional votes on activity reports and preferential voting on their general posts.
This approach is rather 'hit and miss' and we find it difficult to relate reward to effort.
We would like to streamline this a little.
Rather than the current mix of weekly and monthly reports that sometimes do not contain much useful information we would now request one main monthly report that contains...
- the number of active Steemians in their country at the start of the month
- the number of active Steemians in their country at the end of the month
- a summary of any special activities or contests they have been involved in during the month, particularly in relation to helping Steemians in their country
- a summary of any issues or problems amongst Steemians in their country during the month
- any plans they have for the coming month to grow and develop Steem in their country.
With these single, consolidated reports we will be able to give higher rewards.
Additionally we would also find it very useful for Country Reps to maintain lists of active Steemians in their country to help ensure everyone is being supported and no one is being missed out.
These should be posted ideally every two weeks. They should be listed alphabetically, and active and inactive (if included) accounts should be listed separately, with totals shown for each.
Where there is more than one Rep in a country, the Reps can either rotate the posting of these lists or nominate one person to post and share the rewards via the beneficiary feature as appropriate.
We are also looking to give more rewards to Country Reps via votes on comments.
We will be particularly looking for comments from Reps giving helpful tips and advice on how to improve posts - rather in the old #diarydoctor style.
This is primarily for Reps commenting on posts from Steemians in their own countries.
With this comment reward approach Reps will have the opportunity to gain significant extra rewards.
If you haven't connected with your Country Representatives yet here is the current list...
Cameroon (@njiatanga), Ghana (@njaywan, @oppongk), Nigeria (@beautychicks, @focusnow), Uganda (@yohan2on), Mexico (@leveuf), Argentina (@belenguerra, @fendit), Venezuela (@adeljose, @anasuleidy, @edlili24, @mariita52, @tocho2), Bangladesh (@rex-sumon, @tarpan, @toufiq777), India (@neerajkr03, @rishabh99946, @sapwood), Indonesia (@anroja, @ernaerningsih, @nazarul, @radjasalman), Japan (@cryptokannon), Pakistan (@rashid001), Sri Lanka (@besticofinder, @randulakoralage), Italy (@girolamomarotta), Russia (@filinpaul, @knopka145), Turkey (@alikoc07), Ukraine (@antorv, @olesia) and New Zealand (@kiwiscanfly).
If you are in a country without a Country Rep comment below - we will see what we can do.
We will continue to review the Country Representatives over the coming weeks to explore further refinements and improvements.
The Country Representatives allow us to put more direct delegation into the community. With the six new Country Reps over 200,000 SP will have has been delegated out through this route.
Thank you,
The Steemit Team

The 5000 SP delegation should now be with you.
The Steemit Team
Yes, that's correct, I already received the 5000 SP. I will be using this delegation in the best way to support the growth and strengthening of the community. Thank you for trusting me.
Thank you for streamlining the report and the rewards process for CRs. These reports would be helpful to see the country-wise stats easily and based on the data, we can work on the weak areas and fix the issues if any.
I am also working on an additional feature in #SUT to show country-wise active users on a single click. I will keep sharing updates on this. It is taking more than expected time for me to finalize the technical approach but yes, I am making progress and there are no blockers so far.
Thank you Steemit team for providing all these unique opportunities.
That sounds like a very useful feature on #SUT.
Thank you
Thank you for this feedback. I am trying to complete and deploy this feature on production #SUT soon.
The monthly report is really a good idea and that will give better insight if we can include the data of at least the previous two months, making a statistical model and letting the community know where do we stand.
Thank you.
And congratulations to the newly joined CRs.
Steem on.
Good idea to include the previous month's data for comparison.
Yes, at least we get to know the pattern.
Thank you.
Hello, dear @steemitblog and @steemcurator01. It's being quite difficult to find users from Argentina and despite the invitations I've made, people don't "trust" a lot in a "new" platform. This is a culture that we have here in the country.
They don't understand cryptocurrencies and as you can see, there are a few users from Argentina. In fact, I found the platform looking for a place to write and I fell in love with Steemit for all the things that offer: meeting people, knowing about other cultures, contests.
I will keep talking with people here and I have a Facebook and Twitter that I created specifically for Steemit promotion. I work there as much as I can, not that much because of the tasks here and other responsibilities, but I'm doing my best.
As a CR I have been helping in other communities as Newcomers and Steemit Nursery, and also of course we have Writing and Reviews Community with @fendit.
Same happens to me. I've talked to my friends and family about Steemit but there's somehow mistrust when it comes to online platforms aside from Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
I have been thinking about getting in touch with people from different Facebook groups that might be interested in what we can offer in Writing & Reviews, but up to now I just couldn't find the time to do it. Between my personal life and the tasks we perform here as CR and part of the Steem Greet Team, it has become somehow difficult.
Aside from this, we talk every single day with @belenguerra and we always try to come up with new ideas to make our community more interesting and to make users engage and connect between themselvs, so we wouldn't like that to be shadowed either.
@steemitblog @steemcurator01
Congrats to the newly appointed country reps. The monthly report should be sufficient if country reps couldn't do it weekly.
