Generally speaking or for this one? Pity your contest is similar as @olivia08 hers otherwise you could host (if text is used 200 words or 3 photos) it as a CCC contest too. 💕

I did it on purpose to make the contest as easy as it can be. I'm still trying out things to reach more of the communities by doing contest. We'll see how it progresses.

There are many of these contest yours is different because you put a bounty on it. I wonder if it bites if you make a CCC contest out of it too. @olivia08 started with just a photo + some words as a comment too. It's easier for the host, perhaps for the participants too but it's a waste if you do not earn with it. A post makes it possible to earn a comment not unless a big fish gives you enough for a payout. If an entry is a comment you van also not give Trendotoken. I tried that. I don't know about other tokens and tips.

Happy day, keep trying. 💕

It doesn't earn, I just want everyone to became active and happy receiving steem. This week the payout is not enough for the prizes but I'm happy I got 20 steem from @davidke20 in February challenge. Maybe if I have no good payout I will reduce the prize but I try to keep it the same.

@olivia08 it's no problem to reduce the prize. At a certain point people should also join out of fun, because it is a way to promote themselves! It's not that we earn to fill other's wallets only. They have to work for it too and understand this platform is no longer a place (already not since two years) where you can make an income. If you earn.here from now on see it as a bit of pocket money, something extra. Perhaps Justin Sun can offer something better but I doubt it. Those who could live from it already left or beg other Steemians to help them. That is the reality. Set your goals like we did, save for you too. By hosting a contest you give people a place to be seen, to meet others and engage. If this is not already enough reward what is?

Let's be honest. I give a 100% upvote, pay for just joining, give Steem, trdo, comment, SBI and tip but I do not attract more people and most do not even say thanks and do never visit any of my posts and leave me a comment. That is reality, the true face of the Steemians here and why this is not a place to sovialize. I had a poll about that too but people do not see this as a social place. 💕

I didn't earn much but I didn't lose a lot to if I'm able to actively post in a week, I'm still able to get back some of what I get.

That is ome reason why I put in my contest that the prize will vary. I've got a little bit more last week from winning contests. A few actually that's why I'm able to give a little bit more.

My earnings lesser but I'm happy with all the comments coming in. I'm happy to have friends to talk to about a lots of things.

I'm searching for a way I can do free mining for ethereum or bitcoin but almost all that I found need some payments for starting.

I wonder what's happened to @gingbabida engagement contest 🤔

Sorry about a late post of my contest. Life gets so busy in my end. 😢 But hopefully, I can make it this evening, if not, tomorrow. 😊

Thank you for understanding, friends. ❤

Perhaps it is even attractive if you do not always give the same prize. I once gave 9 steem but you know what? People were not more motivated to join. I tried out everything. Asked about it in a dpoll too. The fact is most do not read the contest or it's rules at all or the theme and if a prize is changed they don't notice it.

These kind "contests" posts are work but people hate to read it. Happy day.

💕

Ww wait for you @gingbabida.

I'm trying to do a shorter post for contests because I also thought that the problem is reading. Reaching out is also one of the difficulty. I don't know how many people read every post that I wrote. If I remember correctly, previously there was a reader/viewer counts under each post but now there isn't. !trdo !tip

I cannot remember I ever saw a reader or view count although reading is not the same as a click on (accidentally) and leaving.

It's not the place to read. Those who like reading might but most don't and do not like to write either. I was told one long post is better as many short but I do not agree. It only works if you are a big fish but in that case, you can write one or two lines too. People will vote you anyway and hope you vote back.
200-500 is enough. You should advertise your contest underneath each post of yours.

The attention span is short, 3 minutes read is too long for most. Many longer articles repeat themselves and I am sure the followers don't read it all. On the internet/blockchain you need to write differently. Mobile users keep scrolling and pc users don't like a screen filled with words.

At the moment I wonder how many are still active here. It feels empty to me.
It will get worse with the internet connection if all children need it instead of school.
