Okay, I'll start with my current stats, from my steemworld page SP levels:
598.37 SP ( 577.52 + 50.91 - 30.06 )
I have a native supply of SP of 577, and a delegation of 50Sp from @davemccoy, and I have a few small delegations I have made.
Item 1. covered.
Item 2. This is not easy. First off, I have to say that I am not really a content creator, I am primarily a content user. Most of the content I have created is for contest, and justbecause thingies I wanted to share, (music, videos, other peoples content).
I am however very much new user oriented. I like to help the new user, I love voting, giving my two cents and commenting. I have been a strong supporter of @newbieresteemday since its inception. Currently my longest running consistency since being on steemit, I will be issuing my week 22 post for newbiersteemday on Sunday.
I signed up for vote and comment tracking with Asher (@abh12345), not for the rewards, but initially to see where my level of engagement was on steemit. (I am sure you know but some reading this may not), that he provides a table showing us how well we are doing in engagement he has a formula that he developed and every week he runs his data pull and then shows us how well we did that week. In recent weeks,(its summer, nice weather), my engagement levels have slipped a little bit, but still doing pretty good I think.
@dustsweeper, this is one of the most important developments in steemit, and I fully support it, I have to let people know about it, and do so on a pretty regular basis.
I am involved in a very very community oriented game/challenge on steemit @IFC, it stands for Information Finding Championship, and was created by @apolymask. This is what probably 68 percent of my created content is for the last 6 months, it has been really fun, and it is a great group of people. (So any readers looking for some challenges and out the box/freestyle thinking, take a look at @IFC).
I participate in a few different Discord channels, and learned a lesson about spreading myself to thin, so I had to thin my discord channels out, will likely need to do that again pretty soon, I built up to having 14 discord channel, then thinned back to four, and now the numbers grow again. oh well, such is life.
Enough for number 2.
Number 3. My long term strategy has been to power up as much of my SBD's as I can into Steem then power that to SP. But the converting SBD's to steem, honestly has slacked off a little bit, because I have my slider, and well now I have a lot of things that I can help support with SBD's. It's a real conundrum, I want to pay myself, but I want to help others also. I have gifted a couple of Dustvote accounts for people, I like supporting with a small donation to FTG SOG and FOG accounts, I try to help with some contest rewards, and now I am getting into steemmonsters game, and there seems to always be someone or some organization that needs a little bit of help. So it is hard, I worked very hard getting to that 500SP level, so that the delegated SP to me could be redistributed to help someone else, and now that I am there, I am able to help in other manners, even though I know I need to pay myself, sometimes it is just a hard thing to do.
Damn, that ended up being longer than I thought it would - - Sorry - -
Congratulations, you're in. Watch @m-sargon for details as I get this started.
@tcpolymath, my small voice may not mean much but @bashadow is also a staunch supporter of @newbieresteemday. He has been with our community from the beginning and spreads his upvotes to newbies unselfishly. He also donates what SBDs he earns to the contests and community events. Very giving individual and I highly recommend both @bashadow and @davemccoy from our #newbieresteemday community.
Thank you @beeyou, it would be so great to up my two cents to a nickle, (if I did that then Dave would need to go to a dime), then it would be dime time for dave, that would be so great for him, I hope he gets a delegation also. I can see it now dave announcing, I think it's time for a dime, on comments.
Lol, I can see Dave doing just that when he gets big enough.
Hear ye Hear ye, Newbies & Minnows. Come share why we should come back to Steemit day after day and you will be rewarded Dave’s Dime! The double D’s 😁
DD2
Dave's Delightful Doable Dime
used to be a nickel one time.
He did not know of this chance
we all took up our Dave dance.
Make it happen make it so
Dave will make that nickel grow.
sorry for the distractor TC, just a little fun at Dave.
Love the poem @bashadow and congratulation on being accepted!! You and Dave both deserve this opportunity to grow.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that, thanks. yeah so maybe soon I will be like dave at nickel stage.
@bashadow is one of genuine caring souls I know on steemit. I find him in the places were newbies need help the most. He used to come a lot on my post that I thought he was a bot until we chatted one midnight on discord. His heart is in the right place.
Thank you for your vote of confidence @warpedpoetic, we do what we can with what we have. I hope to get back to reading on a more steady basis, but I do still try to get over and read at least once a week. So much going on at times.
I completely recommend @bashadown @tcpolymath! If you only have limited slots, you can take me out and put him in... He is terrific and I even delegate to him because he is always helping the newbies/minnows with his power! :)
Thank you dave, I'm in your in we are all in, well as many as tc could afford to let in. Thank you again for your vote of confidence, not sure what I signed up for, but will do my best to continue helping, maybe my 2 cents will be back at the 20% level soon instead of 30%+ at current steem price.
@bashadow I know whatever we need to do that you will be the best at it... You are very good in every group you participate in and I have no doubt you will be an asset in this too :)
Thanks, It looks like we pretty much keep doing what we have been for now. So it's back to work and no worries.
That's what I think too... If you hear of anything I should be doing, please let me know! And yes, back to work and of course never any worries!
That was from TC, on a comment I made to jan23com, about the Buddy up word of the week challenge, I declined the challenge, because I dd not want to be overcommitted again. I Still have a little bit of a full plate.
yes me too... I don't know how I will have time to do anything different, but I will just keep doing my best and I'm sure everything will work out fine! Thanks for the info, that is very good to know!
Thank you for the application. Long comments are great. I'll be reviewing all of these at once in a few days.
