Hive: Author of the Week initiative
Objectives
Each community is its own micro-ecosystem with their own curation guidelines, content creation rules, active users, contests and specific initiatives. By having a coordinated effort by many of these communities, we will create a readers digest that includes the best article from each community; this digest will be heavily promoted on Twitter.
- Content Creation: We want to encourage long-form content creators to publish more content and of higher quality within their own Hive communities.
- Onboarding: By promoting the very best Hive content on Twitter we expect to catch the attention of potential users, and then onboarding niche creators/consumers to Hive.
- Decentralized Curation: Hive communities can use the Polls feature engraved on Hive to enable the Hive community to have a say on what gets rewarded. The community gets involved in rewarding what deserves to be rewarded.
- Weekend Engagement: Hive activity drops during the weekend, which is understandable. By encouraging users to become content consumers and poll voters during the weekend, we aim to increase the activity on Hive from a contest consumption perspective.
Methodology
They key to achieve all of the above is organization and coordination in order to create synergy from all the Hive communities who want to be part of this. The process is simple:
For communities
1- The community curation team picks the best 4 posts of the week published on their community according to their own internal guidelines.
2- On Friday, preferably during the evening (PST), they announce the winners of the previous week, and also announce the four contenders for the week to come (on this first week they will only announce the contenders). On this announcement they also encourage their community members to speak out and use their vote on the poll to decide who is the author of the week. The polls close at midnight PST on Sunday. This post must use the tag #topauthors.
3- The community team creates a poll with the four posts as options and includes the link to it on the announcement from point #2. The poll must use the tag #topauthors so that anyone who wants to vote on all these polls can find them easily.
4- The community votes on these polls, actively deciding which author should be author of the week of the community, effectively deciding who wins the "Community author of the week"
From the initiative
1- @ocd, @blocktrades, @theycallmedan and @leofinance will vote on the community announcements, as well as the weekly digest. From the total announcements' rewards, 60% will go to the winner, and 20% will go to the author of the post/community, and 20% to the Twitter marketing budget. From the digest rewards, 100% will be used for marketing and promotion on Twitter.
2- The Digest will be shared on Twitter using relevant #hashtags and an adequate Tweet & Thread composition in order to reach the correct target audience, powered by #posh. One Leo Finance ambassador will handle this Digest as well as the Twitter Tweets/Threads every week as part of their tasks in order to allow this initiative to not cost anything to the Hive ecosystem, other than a decentralized allocation of extra rewards for authors and communities.
Future plans
If this initiative picks up and we detect a good response from the Twitter audience, we will grow this concept into a full SEO website, NFTs for the weekly winners, a bigger and diverse prize pool (tokens from the communities) and some other ideas, but we don't want to get ahead of ourselves.
Disclaimers:
1- If you are a community leader and you haven't been approached to become part of this initiative, please reach out to @anomadsoul#8455 on discord.
2- This initiative is coordinated by @anomadsoul | @khaleelkazi in collaboration with @acidyo and @eddiespino, and supported by @blocktrades, @ocd, @theycallmedan and @leofinance.
3- The owner keys of this account are held by @acidyo, @eddiespino and @anomadsoul.
4- Everything regarding transactions and marketing expenses will be posted here for transparency purposes.
5- We will post weekly analytics and reach of the Tweets to track how effective this initiative is.
This is super cool, it will undoubtedly encourage users not only to create content but also to improve their publications in order to be among the finalists of the week and to be able to achieve the prize if possible. As the main representative of the Hive NFTgame Latino community you can count on us to be promoting this activity, it is not a problem that we are a mainly Spanish speaking community and we use English as a second language through translators in most cases.
This is a very cool initiative, and might "kick a little life" back into those writers/bloggers who have felt a bit stale with their creativity.
We have a lot of great creative talent in this community, and presenting "the best of" to the world, on a regular basis, might well draw some fresh talent to our shores.
If it gains traction, it could become useful tool for Hive... those who are purely content consumers might be interested in subscribing to the digest and would need Hive accounts to do so... but those are long term speculations, of course!
=^..^=
Leveling Up Real Fast.
Great initiative for hive and authors.

This is an impressive initiative.
Picking out the top authors in each community is another way of uniting all Hive communities for the common good of the Hive blockchain.
This is a welcome development, and one that we hope would pick up really quick. 👏

The Silver Gold Stackers Community are up for this. I think it could help us to incentivize better quality and frequency of our authors as well as promote the platform. Makes a lot of sense to me.

Good initiative...
The Brazilian community is very happy to be part of this important milestone for the Hive community.
We will participate and encourage Brazilians to produce quality content to compete as well.
Great initiative, definitely needs lot of collaborations from various communities to make it grand, which I hope will be true.
Don't underestimate the power of Hive ;)
I am not :)
What I see is how it would encourage individuals from different initiatives to be very active regarding the quality of their content and engagements. This way people would be challenged to step up their game to be better and to become the "Author of the Week" of their preferred community.
A way of building visibility to people who put in the work.
Sounds good.
I specifically liked this part: each community is its own micro-ecosystem with their own curation guidelines, content creation rules, active users, contests and specific initiatives. This is something that a bunch of old users still rocking a Steem mentality have yet managed to understand.
Curious to see how this unfolds... It is a clear path towards encouraging creators to outperform themselves. Sometimes all you need to become better than you were is such a stimulus.
Congrats for the initiative!
This is really cool, without a doubt, surely going to catch some attention.
It's great

Very happy to read about this, great initiative it will definitely help to onboard new unique users and introduce hive to others it's also incurging for content creators to keep creating and posting useful content
Good initiative. Long-form content and some SEO practices will help Hive grow organically.
Love the initiative! There is enough space for new ideas and things to be taken into consideration for the chain as long as they have a great impact on the community and its users, and this one seems like a nice one!
This is an amazing initiative
Thumbs up, the idea is great and I would love to start it with our community - Feathered Friends.

Wow!
This a great news!
this is a great incentive to create quality content and be consistent. Yes, I know that I am not an example of perseverance, but this type of initiative helps me find the motivation to be one.
@holo&lotus y @catarsis Hopefully these communities are part of this project.
Great one guys hope more curators and communities will onboard.
You should feel proud of yourself for taking part in the Hive: Author of the Week initiative. Your efforts to create high-quality, long-form content on Hive are commendable, and your involvement in this initiative can help bring attention to the platform and onboard new users. Remember that every small step counts towards achieving bigger goals, and by working together with other communities, you can create a positive impact on the Hive ecosystem. Keep up the great work and continue to contribute to the growth of the platform!
Wow, this is very cool.will encourage authors fir sure.
I'm still learning my way around, l learn something new every day.
This is quite impressive. This feature is one of it's kind. I think, this will definitely help to improve the content of creators by motivating us to add luster to our contents.
Thanks
That is very cool
This initiative sounds fantastic! I think it's a great idea to promote the very best content from different Hive communities and encourage long-form content creators to publish more content and of higher quality within their own communities. It's also great to see that decentralized curation will be used to enable the Hive community to have a say on what gets rewarded. I believe this will help to build a stronger and more engaged community on Hive
