The Blocktrades Scholarship - A month in review

in #blocktradescontest6 years ago (edited)
A little bit than a month ago, we made a contest searching for content creators who wanted constant support from @blocktrades on their posts.

You can check out the contest HERE

The point of this Scholarship contest was to reward those content creators who understood that even though the price of Steem was at its lowest point in 2018 during December, this was the best time to post frequently quality content and to earn cheap Steem (regarding current price) in post rewards. The idea was to reward some of those users who stick with the platform and do not lower their engagement with other Steemians even when the rewards, the Steem price and the general involvement is at its lowest.

Ten Steemians were the lucky ones to win this monthly support. Out of the more than 220 participants, these quality content creators were the lucky - and hard earning ones - to get both @blocktrades and my support on 8 of their posts during the month of December. This means more that 3.5M SP in votes for each of the winners. Sweet, right?

Getting a blocktrades vote feels amazing, one moment your post has only a few bucks in rewards (if you're lucky) and the next one Bum! It's at double digits - or even triple digits when the Steem price is generous -, it is amazing and a lot of people have written me in the past like Oh my God, I got my first blocktrades vote, I'm so happy!, And I believe them because I felt the same way back in September 2017 when I got my first gigantic blocktrades vote.

But I don´t need to tell you about this, because it would sound like I´m just shilling the contest; why don´t you read about it yourself?

Some words from the winners about the month that passed

It was the first time I won such a global contest on the Steem blockchain. This continuous support kept me motivated to write high quality articles like I´ve always done. It also helped me raise my reputation, it was a great incentive. I Also reached 500 SP and surpassed that SP, I am now officialy a minnow! I will continue to post quality content frequently. I want to thanks @blocktrades a lot for this.

The 8 votes of blocktrades impelled me a lot, I am grateful for the contests that @anomadsoul carries out, motivate and impel the community, I met a new friend @jenina619 that is also Venezuelan, @dreemsteem another nice user that I like very much, by means of this experience I took advantage of to increase my steempower, my reputation and to reaffirm my consistency to publish without missing any day.

It's something funny... days before this Contest announcement I told jokingly to a friend of mine that I was expecting some votes from Blocktrades xD and then guess what? :D :D... I actually won the contest! Having Blocktrades and anomadsoul´s support for a whole month boosted my account, pushing me to improve myself and my posting. Since many of my posts were on the trending page of the tags I used! Infinite thanks for such a gift!!!

Most contests give a one time gift- which is AWESOME, but why was THIS contest win even more important? It was a MONTH of committed support from @blocktrades and @anomadsoul. For 8 posts, we knew that our hard work would be supported in a special way! So exciting to see that big payout! Not only that, but in our blocktrades scholarship discord channel, we met other winners, supported their posts, and made new connections! An all around HUGE win for all of us! Thank you again @blocktrades and @anomadsoul !!!!!

"Having posted daily for a long time and working so hard on my writing as well as doing as much as I can to help others here, it was so nice to get the support from Blocktrades. It helped boost my morale just when I needed it the most and it was also great to see what others were writing too. This kind of support is what makes Steeemit so awesome and helps me find energy to pay that support forward to others. Thanks ever so much!"

Given the current payouts, I really wanted to win this contest. But I didn’t really count on it, because I rarely get lucky in various lotteries and games. Therefore, I was surprised and delighted with my victory. I was pleased not so much with the upcoming increased payments for posts, as with the fact that I was noticed among dozens of other worthy authors and recognized as a worthy member of the Steemit authors community. This is a truly pleasant fact. In addition, certainly the belief that your work will be appreciated due to the support of @blocktrades, gives strength and creates the mood to put more diligence in your post.

WOW! No sabia de ese concurso, hubiese sido genial al menos participar, a mi me encanta esta plataforma y la verdad seria genial ver como aumenta mi SP por hacer lo que me gusta y publicar diario, la verdad no perderia la oportunidad en ese momento de poner mis recompensas al 100% y empezar a escribir y escribir! ustedes son de admirar la verdad, felicidades a los que ganaron y de verdad les deseo todo el exito, @anomadsoul y @blocktrades son un motor de motivacion para muchos steemians de verdad, yo he recibido algunos votos de blocktrades y se siente realmente genial saber que alguien vio lo que hiciste y le gusto, ;) estoy ansiosa por comprar mi celular y empezar a crear buen contenido o mejor dicho excelente contenido para la plataforma ;) saludos amigo y un abrazo grandoteee!

Wow, that is really awesome for all of them. I seriously was shocked when I saw how many people had participated in it. I quickly knew I was out of my league. I don't think I would know what to do with myself if I ever got a triple digit upvote. I'd need to make sure @mrsbozz was my in case of emergency contact so they could let her know I had passed out. Truly awesome work that you folks are doing to support others on this platform!

It was amazing how many people joined, the cool part is that anyone who posted constantly quality content and is committed to the platform could've won!

Very cool!

Wow, you are almost becoming a legend here. I am on my way to the second year too. Despite all your friends and connections here you still feel that way?
