Contest: Find the Best 25 Posts on Steem!

in #budget6 years ago

What are the top 25 posts ever made on Steem? Where can we read them all in one place? How do we help more readers find these posts? This contest attempts to answer these questions for what appears to be the first time according to the first three pages of Google search results for "Top 25 Steem Posts."

Goals!


  1. Collaborate to make a list of the top 25 posts ever made on Steem.
  2. Advertise our best posts to help new readers see the best of what we do here.
  3. Reward authors and finders with 10 Steem for helping us build this list!

How to Help?


  1. Post links in the comments to the posts that made the biggest impact upon us after reading along with a summary of the post.
  2. Vote comments up by others with the best posts to help us rank the list.
  3. Ideally we will make a combination of posts of many types well as some posts that are the best introductions to Steem.

Rewards?


  1. Those of us finding a post that is included in the top 25 list will receive 10 Steem per post.
  2. The author of the post will get 10 Steem as our thank you for writing the post unless the post was self-referred in which case only the finder's fee will be paid.
  3. For funding, this is being submitted now as a budget proposal requesting up to 500 Steem to be paid from @budgets with https://steemit.com/budget/@jerrybanfield/introducing-steem-budget-proposals.

Follow Up?


  1. After the list of the top 25 posts is made, I will make the post with it to put all the posts in one place in an organized format along with a summary of each.
  2. Every post included will be submitted to the Google AdWords display network to help new readers discover some of our best posts with https://steemit.com/budget/@jerrybanfield/50-million-ads-for-steem-on-facebook-google-and-youtube.
  3. The ads for our best posts will run indefinitely to help grow our community and share the best of what we create with the readers that might benefit from it the most!

Ready?


Thank you for reading this post and I will post the first comment to get the contest started!

Love,
Jerry Banfield

jerry, I like how you are always passionate about everything related to social media, search engines, and strategies to grow.

Exactly, that's why I follow him @jerry. I just want to say merry Christmas.
Do well to check my second post on steemit

@Klye

This guide maybe old but a knowledge to remember. It is not just funny, the knowledge your share is priceless.

I don't have a friend whale. If I can't attract and catch a Whale. Hopefully, my intention to be Whale it's just a matter of time.

@jerrybanfield I vote for this article to be one of your Top 25.

Cheers,
@yehey

lol @klye the pictures go very well with the text!

https://steemit.com/writing/@eco-alex/the-remarkable-diary-of-an-earthship-eco-builder-2-the-dream-was-born-why-earthship-s-are-amazing-the-need-to-be-self-sufficient is one of the most powerful posts I have read on Steem in terms of changing my vision for what to work up to. Prior to reading this, I had the idea of just a bigger and newer house in my mind as the reward of working hard and making more money.

After reading this amazing post by @eco-alex, my entire vision of what I hope to work up to in terms of where to live has changed. Now I want an ultra sustainable house that is completely self-sufficient producing its own electricity and food along with providing a beautiful living environment.

Thank you very much @eco-alex for writing a post that was so inspiring for me to read!

I am very confused at the current steem price i see no value in steem dollars they are inflationary and have no value. Can anyone explain where the value is ? Thanks https://steemit.com/steemit/@newmarket65/steem-dollars-have-no-value

I really like that Jerry! If you are inspired now to get your own earthship, or some other kind of more ecological and sustainable house, than ecotrain´s mission is right on track.

Earthships will change everything and @eco-alex is at the forefront of making the best public case for them.
Invaluable assets for the rough times to come and certainly a great long-term goal.
Substance > Fiat (no matter what kind of fiat)

We need more of this! So much garbage filling up the hot and trending pages nowadays 🤦🏽‍♂️

Rewarding those for finding quality posts and writing quality posts is definitely a way to bringing the most value into the platform and encourages an organic user friendly ecosystem by also helping to bring in good people that will have quality content and grow steemit :)

You'll be the number one Jerry Banfield!

How do you value a post?

number of up-votes?

number of readings?

total amount of the reward?

most engagement with the users in the comments?

SEO optimalization

All of these metrics could influence the meaning of 'most valuable post'.

It's really hard to say what's the most valuable post.

Summary: This was a post i wrote that had such amazing feedback. It was a self reflection on the negatives of travelling so much. Its something that a lot of travel bloggers never admit but there are so many reasons why travelling sucks and no one is brave enough to admit it.

Summary: This is a post i made that i was just so proud of and am sure will impact everyone who watches it . It is a video of Christmas in Prague. For anyone who has caught the travel bug they will love to see how Prague turns into a winter wonderland during Christmas. Its one of the most magical places and I think this video captures it perfectly.

Hi Mr Jerry,
I am doing a detective thing to get the list of top 25 post and i found this post from @survivalist.com and his Top 33 Steemit post of all time
and this is my entry... :)

As part of the Welcoming Contest, users were asked to create their own Steemit Starters Guide. @shineyforest did a tremendous job of creating a welcoming guide for new users, as a new user herself, she collected some amazing resources. And this nomination has nothing to do with her nod to me for being helpful with her onboarding. hahaha:
https://steemit.com/minnowsupport/@shinyforest/a-minnow-s-guide-to-steemit

Wow, Mike! Thank you for nominating me, your my private Santa Claus I guess! All the best to you and very Merry Christmas! Yes, you've been helpful to me lots of times and I know you're doing the same to many many many other Steemians! You should get a lot of recognition for your efforts and I just can't shut up about you haha! Love, Klaudia

Most useful post i've read on Steemit so far! Definitely has my vote :)

i follow your rulls on steemit....thanks😁

Ever wanted to be able to search Steemit better? well so did @markangeltrueman, so he created @steemsearch. This gives you a bunch of search fields to really find what you are looking for on the Steem Platform. This is an amazing curation tool for anyone involved in curating. Here's the post announcing the release changing the name from "Harpoon Search" to "Steem Search" along with a review of the service's capabilities:
https://steemit.com/steem/@markangeltrueman/harpoon-search-is-now-steem-search-updates-issues-and-a-rebranding

I’m not really sure the context here, but I don’t really have sufficient SP to deal with large scale voting abuse. The most I can do is add or remove around $7.00 with a full 100% upvote or downvote.

I do continue to discuss with a lot of people behind the scenes on ways we can update the platform to make it more fair. If you have any suggestions, I’m happy to hear.

I am confused as well I dont see where the value of steem dollars is if you know please tell me https://steemit.com/steemit/@newmarket65/steem-dollars-have-no-value
