A delegation of 700SP for a month comes with a lot of responsibility...
Generosity Rules
Let me start this post by congratulating @karensuestudios. Not only has she reached the milestone of 3500 followers, she’s also showing she’s a very generous person.
To celebrate her milestone, she’s giving away 5 delegations of no less than 700 SP.
If you want to join her contest all you need to do is write a post in which you tell her what you would do with the delegation.
So that’s exactly what I’m going to do in this post.
Newbieresteemday
Getting a delegation of 700 SP for an entire month is a huge deal. Such a delegation comes with a lot of responsibility, since you need to make sure you make the most out of it.
Me and my fellow members (@davemccoy, @mudcat36, @amariespeaks, @beeyou, @bashadow, @terminallyill, @themanwithnoname, just to name a few) are organizing loads of different events in which we try to help newcomers to get started.
We have games and contests, newbie resteemdays, ‘member of the week’-elections and a lot more.
Part of my delegation would be used to support newcomers with a bigger upvote (at the moment my 100% upvote is worth only $0.11).
Paying It Forward
Since I’m blessed with 600 SP already, the biggest part of the delegation would be used to delegate to others.
I’m thinking about setting up a contest for newbies, with a small delegation as a prize. Since so many newcomers are struggling with bandwidth issues because of their lack of SP, a delegation could help them to grow and get them out of that ‘bandwidth-problem’ zone.
Without any doubt, part of the delegation would be delegated to @friendsofgondor.
@friendsofgondor is a new initiative that is set up to support @fulltimegeek and his former Stewards Of Gonder in the terrible flagging war the whales are battling here on SteemIt.
The @friendsofgondor account gives people with small accounts the opportunity to help out the people that were already injured in this war, without risking to get hurt themselves.
Or as @davemccoy states in the introduction post:
As a way to show support for @fulltimegeek, and those that have already been injured through his need to withdraw his delegations, I have set up a group account called @friendsofgondor. This account will be my way to give moral support to @fulltimegeek and the "Stewards of Gondor" members that lost their own power (and are supporting @fulltimegeek still).
This is a peaceful way to show support and will keep my followers far away from the frontlines. It will not hurt anyone to cast an upvote for a SOG member, so there will be no damage for showing your support in this way.
You can find out more about the @friendsofgondor initiative and get some background information in this post
I strongly believe that @friendsofgondor needs all the support it can get, so I would pay forward part of the delegation to the initiative.
The SteemIt Spirit
Whether it is by me or someone else, a lot of people on SteemIt can use some support, and with a delegation of 700SP you have the ability to give those people that little extra push to make sure they can make it on their own.
To all future winners: please use your prize for the greater good, and give back to the amazing community we are lucky to be a part of.

You have my vote - for all it's worth :-D You made a great proposal @simplymike and if anyone deserves a delegation it's you! I know you would make a great impact if chosen!
Thanks.
I would definitely give it back to the community. I owe you and everyone else, because it’s only because of this amazing community that I have been able to re-build my account to the level of my old account in such a short time span.
Well you're doing great and we love having you as part of our team!!
@simplymike, I have resteemed and will Upvote you! I have no choice but show my small yet whole-hearted support to you. How can I not support a person whose "main concern here on SteemIt is helping newbies to succeed"?
You and your "fellow members (@davemccoy, @mudcat36, @amariespeaks, @beeyou, @bashadow, @terminallyill, @themanwithnoname," @goldendawne, and several more are doing so much for this community!
Special thanks to @karensuestudios for her generosity. I read on one of her blogs that she was "lost" when she began Steemit. That she can go from "clueless" to influential, is inspiring!
@simplymike, I truly hope you win this. If you don't, I know you will continue to do an amazing job helping us newbies, regardless!
Thank you again and good luck, @simplymike
Thanks for your support, @kismet2018.
I will continue what I am doing, whether I win this contest or not.

Yes, I don't KNOW you, yet I KNOW you mean it @simplymike! It's about "the love of it", isn't it?! I get that! Awards, rewards, money are "side-effects" when we are motivated by "the love of it"! Good luck, my Friend and thank you again!
That’s absolutely true.
SteemIt: you come for the money, but you stay for the community. ;0)
Congratulations! This post has been upvoted from the communal account, @minnowsupport, by simplymike from the Minnow Support Project. It's a witness project run by aggroed, ausbitbank, teamsteem, theprophet0, someguy123, neoxian, followbtcnews, and netuoso. The goal is to help Steemit grow by supporting Minnows. Please find us at the Peace, Abundance, and Liberty Network (PALnet) Discord Channel. It's a completely public and open space to all members of the Steemit community who voluntarily choose to be there.
If you would like to delegate to the Minnow Support Project you can do so by clicking on the following links: 50SP, 100SP, 250SP, 500SP, 1000SP, 5000SP.
Be sure to leave at least 50SP undelegated on your account.
That's a wonderfully generous way to look at using the delegation...as a means to solve the bandwidth issues of struggling minnows and to further the cause of @friendsofgondor. Very selfless and we need more like you.
Thats so awesome of you! You have my vote and also resteemed to pass the word!
Thanks a lot!
I saw this contest too. After reading your post, my entry would just talk about how much I think you deserve it =]. These are great ideas and I hope you get the delegation. I’m starting to like newbieresteem and would like to see it grow.
Omg what happened to your rep? You don’t deserve that!
Got hacked. Fortunately, people worked hard to get everything back to normal 😁
Whew, glad it didn’t have a lasting effect
You have some very good ideas. Honestly you have more right to win as me. But I think I will also write a post. Goodluck!
Thanks! You too!
This is what its all about not using it for your self but sharing it amongst others and recognising people for the hard work and effort that they put into their posts I wish you the best of luck in the contest.
Thanks a lot
All of your posts have been upvoted and resteemed as part of the medic movement in an attempt to help heal your account from the flags you have received. If you create any content then let me know and I will promote you and do all I can to help you recover.
Thanks @mudcat36 , you’re the best.
Fortunately, Patrice removed all the flags after I edited the comments that were sent out, so my rep score is back to normal 👍
Phew. As long as you're ok mate. We can't lose great content creators like you. Steemit would be a lesser place without you! :)
You make me blush ☺️
Thanks for helping and I'm glad you got your account back.
Me too 😀
You have my support! I would be happy if either you or @bashadow (on behalf of the @newbieresteemday account) receive the delegation. You both are wonderful in taking the time to write this delegation post and I know you will share the delegation with the community.
Of course I would also support the #newbieresteemday initiative :0)
I’m starting to get excited, because it’s about time for the Inners announcement. I’d like to win this one so badly, but on the other hand... there are so many entries...
(Can you imagine how much time it will have cost her to go through them all...?)
I haven’t read @bashadow’s entry yet. Gonna do so instantly :0)
Yes it is not likely with so many entries, but its amazing how much effort people put in to help each other here. I love how we blend as a group. I just wish there was about 45 hours in a day!
I don’t think 45 would be enough... 72 would be more like it ;0)
this is @davemccoy... my answers were set to @friendsofgondor because I am stupid and forgot to change it
I knew it was you - lol
thanks for the tag here @beeyou, I would've missed it if you didn't do that! :)
this is @davemccoy... my answers were set to @friendsofgondor because I am stupid and forgot to change it... Just fixing the record lol :P
awww! :) "To all future winners: please use your prize for the greater good, and give back to the amazing community we are lucky to be a part of." Love this!
Thanks :0)
