Ever Present in Steemit Challenge: The 2nd Mermaidvampire Challenge

in #steemit6 years ago

When it comes to steemit success, even success in general, sometimes all that was ever needed is presence.

Ever constant presence!

The above easily can look like a very shallow sentence but looking closely, it just may have a far deeper-reaching meaning and it so does!

Yes, even in someone's (a potential helper, investor, partner etc) mind, you may have to stay ever-present!

To stay present on steemit without apparent gain, does take a measure of depth (substance, self-sacrifice, selflessness, love, character etc) but again being "present" (the first simplest obvious solution) may be all that we have needed for success here, moreso, than building gigantic infrastructures to seek whale-help or jackpot.

In general, there will always be times when we tire out a bit and can't create content but our presence is on steemit may just be as important than content creation.

It is important to me!

For one, there is "no loss" and with the steem blockchain, anything (great things, breakthroughs, opportunities, partnerships, jackpot etc) can happen, at any moment, on any day!!!

Infact, something nice is certainly happening right now as we speak somewhere on steemit e.g if you have some good amount steem power in your wallet, take a note of it right now e.g Check your current amount of SP, then refresh your browser after some seconds and tell me if your SP remains. You will have noticed an increase, because another incentive of powering up is that it keeps increasing.

Persistence pays off!

Hi, Steemheads!

All the above statements are from my mentor @surpassinggoogle. It's him, the Steemit platform and my fellow Steemians that are inspiring me in making this second Steemit Challenge. The concept had been going on in my brain for two weeks now but it is only now that I actually sat down and pour this in writing. I'm sorry, procrastination gets the best of me sometimes and a lot of things going on that gets me distracted.

All of us are busy with life, we have roles to fill, things to do, dreams to fulfill and many other adventures to seek. It is a must that we know how to manage our time and give focus to the things that needs our attention. Lately, I have noticed that my Voting Power is not as exhausted as it used to, it only means my friends or the people I support are not posting as much as they used to. Maybe they are disheartened by the price of Steem and SBD. Maybe they are tired of creating content. Maybe they lack motivation. Maybe they can't think of a prompt. Many things could be going on.

Whatever it is that's going on please do not leave Steemit. Like how we never left Facebook or any socmed, please stay present and contribute because Steemit works. There are no loses here and all gains. Just know WHEN to do Steemit and HOW to do Steemit.

This 2 things will be answered by this challenge. This is just the second time that I will make a challenge. I hope you are familiar with the first challenge I made. If you have not done it, then please check it out and see if it is something you would be up doing. You can find my first challenge here: Mermaidvampire's Steemit Give Back Challenge. It is a good prompt, if you have nothing to write then try to do that and make one grateful post to each person you want to thank for.

I, myself have been out of focus and got burnt out lately. Thus this challenge is primarily addressed for myself. Let's try to digest the challenge, from the title itself, this is to let people commit to being here and creating content and engaging with the community and creating value here. The content will be focused in 2 things and will have a time frame of how long the challenge will run. It will also have an assessment of its effects on ones Steemit account with regards to SP at the end of that time frame. That is to show that there is no loss in doing this challenge but all gains.

Challenge Mechanics:

  1. Dedicate hours for Steemit, between 2-5 hours in the day or night and stick to it.
  2. Be sure to make a post at least 1 post a day.
  3. Make that one post a ULOG post.
  4. Make another post for your niche or a challenge post or any kind of post of your choice.
  5. Be sure to make 5-10 comments in posts during your Steemit dedicated time.
  6. Be sure to upvote 10 posts a day during your Steemit time.
  7. The challenge will run for a whole month.
  8. Make a tracker to have a visual of what you are doing.

Assessment:

  1. Make a weekly update of this challenge and track and report your SP growth every week until the end of the challenge. You can also add other stats like increase in Followers and Reputation if you want.

  2. You can also make a summary of the payouts you get per week, considering the week prior to doing the challenge versus on weeks of doing the challenge. To show yourself a little motivation and to conclude if the challenge will be worth it if you consider the rewards to be the basis of its success.

I am not sure how this will go for anyone or everyone but I am hypothesizing there won't be loses but all gains. Please do the challenge with me and let's prove to ourselves how Steemit has worked and will always work as long as you keep trying, doing, creating content and be present, be here.

Come do the challenge with me. This is going to be fun and a little way to help Steemit in tough times like this one. Still, we are the ones that bring Steem to the Moon, we don't follow it there. So stay and keep creating good content. When the going gets tough, you keep going. I'd still bet all in, Steem will rise. ^_^

Love and Peace,

@mermaidvampire

kumusta! :) how u?

Hello, @chinito! I'm so glad to hear from you. I am well, but as always I can get better. I was wondering about you but then all of us need a holiday, I'm glad to know you've had yours. I hope life is well with you and the fam. Have a wonderful day! Let's stay awesome and keep Steem rockin'. ;-)

:p hihi! well, it wasn't exactly a holiday, more like a lay in bed, hardly eat and walk just to CR and table, lose 50 lbs and feel like u are dying and slowly wasting away type of breaks. I'm sure u had similar times. now its back to steemit and stuff! :) ttyl,

Excelente amigo, una duda como hago para tener un rastreador? y seguire tu desafió, gracias amigo.

This is just as awesome as your Guess the Color Pics @mermaidvampire. At the end of the day, the ones who take on the challenge will definitely win. Always grateful for how you give back to the steemit community. GOD BLESS.

Thanks for the good thoughts and actually dropping by to cheer me up! I appreciate this. I think this is what Steemit is for, to give people a purpose and to share to a community, all of that behind a celfone or a pc wherever you are. Let's continue to see it that way because it works that way.

Wow this is a great challenge for me since this past 3 months i felt so hard to make any blogs for my situation..thank you @mermaidvampire for this post and i will try to meet this challenge .😊

I know the struggle. It's not easy. You are held, so stand strong. I promise you, you are held in his hands and more blessings are coming. I have experienced the same loss, so I know how devastating it is. Hang tight, distract yourself with anything. Get busy. Blog about your favorite things, things that make you happy. Start with favorite movie or something... Something that lights up a smile in you. Thanks for supporting me always. I appreciate that.

Excellent challenge but I have a question for #8. Is there a link here to track my steemit work? Or just screening shots of my SP if there are improvements of what I have done for this challenge ladybumpz?

Make your own tracker. Depending on what you want to include to track. You can do it daily, and you can do it weekly, depending on your preference. What matters is at the end of the challenge or on your updates, you can see how well you have improved and how much you have actually earned and compare it to the days you did not do the challenge. I guess that is how you determine your success and how you can actually "COMMIT" to doing something Steemit.

awesome, this really help us newbies. I am among one of them who don't know how to start a post. Been participating contest but not a post yet. I will give myself a kick to start and follow your challenge. Cross my figure I can score a full mark after a month. Cheers

I'm pretty sure you will! This is exactly how my account grew, I joined @chinito's Steemit Success Challenge. I am just passing it on. Thanks, btw I love the pic of olives in your profile. Stay wonderful, I see you around in my daily game thread and I appreciate that. Thank you!

This challenge would surely make people in the community alive, thanks for this initiative of yours. You always know how to reach out and help others and the community of course. I do some ulog but not so good with other thing, I'll try my very best for making steemit time even if ulogging, commenting and upvoting I can offer but ill try to share some photography thing and give justice to it and participating some contest keeping me active in here, and to support this challenge of yours having everyone's sake and good at the top.. More power to you and God bless.. maraming thank you

Keep posting, make them short but meaningful. I post to share and express things, that's it. Salamat din, I see you in my daily game always and I appreciate that. Keep steeming.

Sure I will no matter how low the price is.. Thanks for the advice and for the appreciate.. God bless

I really liked your post. The truth is just what I feel at this moment that the written is not being appreciated however I do not give up; and I try to participate, improve, know, and share in this world !. I will try to meet the challenge and follow what you indicate.

Thank you, I appreciate you dropping by here. I still have room for more heads to upvote. I will include your account in my autoupvote as well as all the people who will make comments in this post. Expect one upvote everyday from my account @mermaidvampire. The vote won't be much but I hope it inspires you to keep going. I will also take time to read your posts and give comments when I can. Have a wonderful day, @rachelcreative. Keep steeming!

I know inday we passed hardship everything but no to surrender.Sometimes we lost our courage to.go.on but its normal for an hour but realizing after made us more stronger.
We hope we can go on all these way and I will.

Carry on to helping others as its a great fun.

Indeed! Thank you, I think you live up to your name. Short statement but that's actually it. Stay cool and awesome! Following you, I wanna see more of you here. Thank you so much.

Thanks,
Visit me here @coolguy222 ,i need your opinion, check my latest post

Gotcha! ;-)

This sounds like a great idea, especially in terms of making us be more discipline with stats. I'll give it a try.

You should! I will try to give out prompts on a daily basis so people can write about something but there's always Ulogging really, we can do that. It won't always get a lot but you know, cents will always be better than nothing. And I'm pretty sure we can have time to spare to Steem just like we have time to spare to scroll down our FB feeds. Thanks for the support, always, @hlezama. Regards to your daughter and your fam. Have a wonderful day!

Thank you for always being on top of things. My daughter is doing well; drawing superheroes every day (obsessed with Marvel).
I'm about to call it a day; finishing the translation of my ulog 013 (this time i posted the Spanish version first).

That's really nice. Rogue is my favorite X-Men character. Which reminds me I wanna color my hair like hers. BTW, how old is tour daughter? Does she want to have a Steemit account or does she have already?

She is 14. She wants to have an account. We are thinking about it.
Rogue is cool. That hair coloring must look great. ulog about it when you do it. :)

Good news coz Steemit is actually a 13 and above platform. I think she can have an account already, if in case it does not make it in a week, let me know, I can make it instantly and I'll do it for free for her. ^_^

That would be awesome!

Indeed a great challenge!!! And this time, I will surely join you and give my thoughts. Hoping that Steemians who left would come back and participate in here with this to keep in mind... never say never!

Thanks, ate @mers. For as long as it works, let's be here and earn. We even bear with FBs drama, how can we leave Steemit? LOL

Can't promise to do that but I'll be around, I'm into so many things in crypto and work, I can't leave steemit even if steem dips deeper I'm just around, thanks @mermaidvampire for contributing fun to the steemit world! Cheers!!!

Thanks! I'm pretty sure you appreciate Steemit by default because crypto. Hahaha! Cheers!

i pretty much do that ..except for the ulog post what is that ? it sounds like an illness like touch and claw @_@... "did you hear Edna contracted a horrible case of ulog. Her skin turned purple and she developed the insatiable hunger for turnips ",

Hahaha! Good to know you are one active Steemian. Ulog is a project of my mentor @surpassinggoogle. It has its own condenser (or a Steemit portal) https://ulogs.org. It's basically a post about one's day. Something you can share to the world that can impart something to its readers. That's the goal of it. Like you post a fresh version of what's going on in your life, just anything about YOU that can make you shine and stand out. The platform celebrates your celebrity-hood and your followers or other uloggers can be your fans. It's simple as that, it's a daily log of YOU, that's why it is called ULOG. Here are the basics of it.

thanks for best guidance on steemit. This is best for like me as a beginner and we improve ourselves with your challenge. big big thank you...

Hey, @amrut. Thanks for reading, I would be pleased if you do the challenge and join Ulogs as a Ulogger. Please check out @ulogs. Read about @ulogs here: The Birth Of Ulogs. "You Are A Celebrity, So Why Not Just Ulog?" No Video Camera; No Problemo.

Am trying to understand this challenge, i guess i will have to wait till you do one to really grasp what it is in full. For your info am a full time steemian so i dont have any problem with any of the challenges criteria as i do more than that each day. Except for #ulog, I hardly do #ulog, I only do it when something special happens.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

Note: Am your big time fan and am addicted to your blog. 😎🤓😘. Make sure you don't tell anyone.

Awesome! I will be making a post that's a combination of my first challenge and this challenge. I will do it later or tomorrow. In a nutshell, I will be making a daily post other than the daily game post and daily winners post. To make sure I do not miss making them, I am dedicating my 8pm-12mn time frame solely for Steemit. I usually go to bed 12 or past 12mn, so that means I am doing Steemit at the end of the day. I will commit to this schedule until it becomes a routine because Steemit is worth it, for me.

My first challenge was the Give Back challenge. I have people who gave me SP delegations, so those daily posts, part of the earnings or the payout will actually be sent to them, they will be my beneficiaries. ^_^

I'm excited to do it. Thanks for the support @botefarm, always.

Great idea for a challenge. I tweeted it and hope more people will take advantage of these ideas. commenting is a great way to do better here, no matter the price.

Thank you for sharing, í know what to do now. God bless us all.

Challenge accepted. In my thought, this is hiw should be our behavior in order to grow in Steemit. I remember a steemians once told to interact with Steemians to grow my account, which I seldomly do, because of a reason of another life being manage. And I am not conisistent in writing posts, maybe because I don't place a time for me to do it. All I do is just a random piece at a random time. Maybe this is the secret, which we should be doing at the very beginning, after all, Steemit is a place where we can grow together by inspiring and motivating others.

This will surely help everyone here to grow. Thanks @mermaidvampire! All the best to you and everyone here.
