It's contest time once again :)
We're back for a brand new STEEM Power giveaway contest! And I know, it's not the first of the month, but I was on the road most of August as well as taking part in the STEEM Creators Conference last week. So I missed the opportunity to start the contest up on time...But hey, the middle of the month is just as good and whoever wins will still get a full month of delegation!
If you are new to this contest, here are the rules....
Be warned, the rules are extremely hard to follow and most people just give up before they get started...
For the past 3 months I've been running these contests and awarding one lucky winner with 150 in STEEM Power for an entire calendar month.
The rules of entry are as follows...
1. Comment On This Post
2. Be Sure You Are Following Me
3. Re-Steem The Contest Post
I know, I know...That's a ton of work!
On Monday September the 17th I will host my Monday Night Thoughts live stream on @dlive and randomly select one winner that completed the steps to entry. And after that...They get delegated 150 STEEM Power for one full month.
Time for a little bit of transparency....
I like to explain to readers and followers WHY I'm doing this so folks will understand my reasoning behind it.
First up, I'm a huge believer in STEEM as the blockchain and a social media platform with all it's apps. So I want to build my followers over time and this is a great way for me to do it. I would love to engage with everyone and the comments allow me to do that. So yup, it's a little selfish but I want to get to know YOU!
Second, it helps a fellow Steemian! 150 STEEM Power isn't going to make you rich, but it will allow you to crush it and generate some extra upvote value and exposure for the entire month. It could be just the bump you've been looking for and could really help fire up your STEEM experience...
But wait....There's more :)
At the Steem Creators conference I got to meet Joseph Savage who is the creator of @steembasicincome
Essentially, this project aims to provide a 'basic income' for every Steemian by a unique pay-it-forward method of sponsoring...I talked to him and let him know that I would love to incorporate Steem Basic Income into these contests I run...
So!
There will be secondary prizes as well :)
I will award @steembasicincome sponsorships to 10 lucky winners of the contest as well.
Not bad huh?
Free STEEM for life and a chance to win 150 STEEM Power!
If you are curious about STEEM Basic Income, please check out their account and give them a follow!
And with that....Good luck to everyone! Thanks for making this contest so much fun and I look forward to engaging with you...Because with you, this journey just isn't the same...

I would love a temporary boost of 150 SP. If it helps my cause I'm not a self-voter. I also love the addition of the SBI
lol it’s completely random. i literally pick a comment using a random comment picker. appreciate the interaction tho for sure.

Awesome contest. Nothing to lose and so much to gain :)
Posted using Partiko Android

@twodorks you are quite right it has extremely and out of the world rules!!!
Thank you @jongolson you are indeed AWESOME! I did smell you? Sniff sniff....Hahaha 🤣😂

You said it better.. we all love free gifts.. and this is just too insane to ignore!!
Posted using Partiko Android
appreciate that very much. and i’m just trying to do what others did for me on steem when i got started. best people online are found on steem.
Posted using Partiko iOS
You got that right! There are a lot of successful steemians here who have reached far and soaring high and enjoying stardome. But only a few remained humble. Im glad the few people i know is getting more, you are added in my list.
I like your idea of giving back, it gives people a little boost, a little inspiration and a little love to keep it going..
Posted using Partiko Android
This is really hard indeed...
lol yup! the hardest :) thanks for taking part and good luck.
Posted using Partiko iOS
Great idea @jongolson. I'm really happy when I see people which truly believe in Steem and making bottom-up initiative for its growth. Thank you!

@jongolson This is very generous of you! This is the first time I've heard about your contest and stumbled upon it actually by mistake. I will try my hardest to tune in tomorrow! Good luck to everyone who entered and followed the rules! This sounds very interesting and while I have some SBI, it's not much to amount to anything so this would help out tremendously.
really looking forward to rewarding people with sbi

I think this is a great idea and very generous of you!

I like this idea of delegation. If I understand it correctly, it's like an interest-free loan that I can invest as I see fit. If I win 150 SP, I can have the power to upvote anybody for a whole month, but when time is up, my account goes back to whatever it was before plus whatever goodwill/interest I generated through investment.
I've been on Steemit for almost a year with a rep of 49, but my votes are still almost worthless (a fraction of a cent). I don't understand why. Maybe winning would help finally raise me to minnow status?
Thanks for running this promotion.
yup. exactly. so it would allow you to earn with an extra 150 sp for the month. but more important i feel like it would get the winner much more active and engaged.

The new SBI addition to your contest will probably catch the attention of more people, since there are more prizes to win. Nice! :)
By the way, shameless promotion on my part lol, I also have a contest running, 1 SBD giveaway to the winner! Ends tomorrow.
for sure. the idea is brilliant and i’m able to give out more prizes. win win!
