What Exactly Does The "Steemgigs" Witness Represent & Its Recent Efforts On Steemit, The Philippines & Developing Nations!

in #witness-category7 years ago (edited)

Well, today i had to remember the "steemgigs" witness. I didn't know that time flew so fast and its server was due for payment, meaning it had to be renewed. 

Glad to know, there is a buffer and @privex doesn't suspend servers once due. I had enough time thus, to renew the server and witness "steemgigs" stays up and running! 


Incase, you want to remember the "steemgigs" witness as well simply click here, then type in"steemgigs" in the first search box! You don't need voting power to vote for a witness!  

OR 

You can choose @surpassinggoogle as your proxy! 

Visit https://steemit.com/~witnesses then type in "surpassinggoogle" in the proxy search box as seen below! 


Note: "steemgigs" witness is one comprising of the "steemit community". "Steemgigs witness is not very technical ; Community is where we hold sway"


"No blocks missed" but the "steemgigs" witness prides itself more, with its efforts in applying "steemit", in accomplishing real world change. "This is very possible!"

"Steemgigs" witness has done some awesome things in the past days, from supporting steemit growth in developing countries, to strengthening the existing steemit community. 

Strengthening our existing community is a core aspect of steemit growth. 
To go all out, in inviting new people to steemit, you have to be sure you can bring them to a home!

Thus, "steemgigs" witness has worked relentlessly to stir unity, love, sharing etc both by means of the DM chats, physical presence at steemit events and intensive curation efforts filled with loving, upbuilding comments. 

There have also been several steemit posts done, targeted at stirring unity, love and empowerment. 


More recently, "steemgigs" witness started to focus on "steemit growth in the Philippines"! 

Empowered by @ned (through steem power delegation to @surpassinggoogle), we have been able to intensify community efforts here on steemit and by this means, we have also flourished outside steemit; reminding the world of non-steemians to join us on steemit, for "steemit is beautiful".

By means of curation efforts, we have been able to support several steemit meetup/sign-up events around the Philippines and even been able to impact steemit events outside of the Philippines. 

Most recent effort outside the Philippines, involved a yearly software development hackathon hosted by @brindocorp, involving a number tech startups. "steemgigs" witness was able to represent steemit in terms of funding, to enable steemit.com to be co-sponsors of the event. 


@surpassinggoogle was able to appear in a video call, to infuse a steemit agenda into their event and @steem-lagos was sent to the venue, to give a talk. Leading to a potential entry into steemit of 6 tech startups EatDrinkLagos Lara.ng  Kudi.ai @elisdotai @coursesdotai @amarya, with the latter 3 sign up already and waiting account approval. Several of the individual participants from ISDEV 2017 have also signed up but are awaiting account approval as well.


@steem-lagos playing their role:



"steemgigs" witness also recently had presence in the University of Baguio to promote steemit there and we have been able to work with many steemians, who play a role of promoting steemit in their communities. 



@steemgigs' most recent effort in discussing steemit with real estate workers. We took their fliers and offered steemit gift cards to them in return and used the moment to preach steemit.


New partnerships with community leaders around the Philippines are in the making, to bring these leaders and their communities on steemit. This has included Red Cross Philippines by virtue of the connections of @steemph and sporting organizations based in the Philippines.



Overall though, a lot of this effort stems from the inside and a deeply-rooted, solidly loving steemit community! Thus, we are accomplishing "steemit growth" inside out!


We believe that everyone promotes steemit (every tiny reputable thing you do within the steemit ecosystem promotes steemit directly or indirectly). 

So our curation effort has involved a lot of comments, to empower Philippines-based authors into making #philippines one of the most visited tags on steemit, for the wealth of knowledge that it holds. 

"Every effort of the "steemgigs" witness is a combined effort of the entire steemit community".

We have been able to spread love all around steemit by means of intensive curation efforts and comment. In the first 15 days of @ned's steem delegation @surpassinggoogle has been able to spread votes to 670 unique authors and 14k in terms of rewards and a ton of other steemians and supporters of the "steemgigs" witness have done similarly. 

resource is from @paulag


@donkeypong @hanshotfirst @acidyo @jrcornel have taken it upon themselves behind the scenes, to train curators to be loving and empowering, which translates into a more vibrant home on steemit and more overall attraction to steemit.

This stirs unity, excitement and ofcourse more content in the search engines both in English and Filipino to create more awareness to steemit in the search engines.

"steemgigs" witness has also paid attention to specific talents hailing from the Philippines and steemit in general and introduced them to #steemgigs.

We don't believe #philippines should grow into isolation, so our curation efforts involves the entire steemit ecosystem.

More things in the pipeline over the course of the coming weeks. We believe in innovation and welcome it, thus, the name "@steemgigs" and the #steemgigs, to admonish steemians to try new things and try even newer ways to explore the steem blockchain. 

A step in this direction can involve joining in, and creating your first SteemGig or joining IDEA Factory on the steemgigs community.

We would love to support budget steemit meetups and fun ways to promote steemit. 

So feel free to invent something in this regard. You can also print out and give away this Steemit Gift Card:

Print out these steemit shirt designs and wear them or give them away.

You are doing a great job of promoting steemit while helping the community! That is awesome! Thank you for all of your efforts.

Thank you again for coming around

Something I keep wondering what great men on Steemit really gain from all this they are doing but my thinking and submission was brought to close with a simple comment... selflessness. A man that will go far in life must not think about himself alone but rather the people around him. @surpassinggoogle you are Gbam 👊👊 good to have you on #steemit I just join #steemitgigs and I'm trying to understand the benefit gradually.

There is a chance that it pays and there is also a chance it doesn't pay , regardless however, the man goes far in life.

For instance, look at what hit me from nowhere a few minutes ago in a post by stellabelle and your earlier question will resume again; "what does she gain?"

@surpassinggoogle:
I have to visit @stellabelle's page soon.. I can't read all the stuff you sent.
I have to help my teams in PH, I will send you a copy a what am currently working.
I am waiting for your instruction what to do with the cards I printed...
dm me thanks! Get well very soon!

I had always read of Steemgigs, but really did not know what it is/was.
I very happy you have elaborated everything in this post of

  • What steemgigs is
  • How to vote for witness and choose steemgigs
  • steemgis acompilshed work
  • steemgigs progress and
  • how to participate in steemgigs

Thanks for the great work.
I have just upvoted my first witness and its steemgigs

Hahaha thank you a lot. I am grateful

Congratulations @surpassinggoogle for winning the steemfest2 contest by @stellabelle.

#teamphilippines is growing !.. I am so glad. :) thanks @surpassinggoogle for your time and effort.. you're the best.. I would love to have that printed t-shirt.. I wish I was there.. I want to join with you all... :(

Devereei sells them, You can contact him in the chats

hmm .. chat ?? where ?

On discord. Underneath my post, you will find a discord URL. Join and you can find dev

Hay @surpassinggoogle you have been a very busy boy. You work effort and help is awesome. Thank you for the mention.
One thing i wouls like to see more off is people using fields in their profile such as about and location. The useage of these fields is rather low. Maybe you could encourage those having meet ups to bring up ,how to set up their profile. I am sure as steemit developes, profile details will become important for search

Yes will. Tackled this aspect really long ago, perhaps it is time to bring it up again! Thanks

I just heard that you won steemfest2, wow! Congratulations!!
steemgigs witness is on the go, I hope it will soon be there in top 50

Glad to see you! Long time

Congrats! You have really done so much for the steemit community and the Philippines! 👍

Congrats for those achievements and for for winning the Steemfest 2contest. Steemgigs is really another great way to make the community more active as well as discovering various potentials. :)

Yea bro you are right Phillipiness is the popular tag in steem

I admit I feel like I am too late joining this community. There is some regrets actually. I already learned about this website a year ago. Though, I had skepticism. Thanks for helping the community. I love the "bayanihan" happening here.

These are the best moments on steemit. You are the lucky one

Thx for your post and all the effort you take for the platform.. didn't see you before an steemit. upvoted and also gave 1 vote as wittness to you.. Thanks.

Thank you a lot. i am honored

This is the best way to make Steemit truly great. Getting everyone on board and applying yourself to making sure your immediate community is not left behind. Good one.

We don't believe #philippines should grow into isolation, so our curation efforts involves the entire steemit ecosystem

Indeed the figures had showned how the Philippines and the the steemit community at large has benefited from you. The fact that every little thing done on steemit is an encouragement and a promotion of the platform is well noted. Thank you for sharing this.

@harbysco and @honourmaus are steemian from LAUTECH a school in South-west of Nigeria, we happen to be the first LAUTECH steemitian and we really want to spread the wings to every other student...... Please we need the help of all other great steemitians

Yes. I saw your post. But pacing is essential according to me. Plus, i know Ladoke Akintola Uni. Even your content promote steemit.

Thanks for dropping by

Impressive report. There are so many new projects promoting Steemit's usability and curation internally as well as all the outreach to new segments of the world and new users. Best of Luck @clumsysilverdad

Thank you alot. Curation on the inside works wonders on the outside.

Hello, all this was possible because you have won all the goals, and crossed the whole path, you could just fulfill your dream, and you went beyond, are performing and helping your community, this is incredible, I have no words to explain this heart pure, humble, it is a pride to see your commitment to this project of helping others. And always giving attention to all Stemians. Congratulations, luck and success.

Thank you for this comment

Truly amazing see you step things up to a new level I did not think existed after you took up the honor of being a witness.

Glad privex is working out for you. I been wondering myself how well the service is.

Have a great weekend and as always thank you for sharing your experiences .

Good job my friend! Congrats and thank you for the continuous support on the community, you are an asset! Stay awesome!

Hahaha stay awesome!

I hope you can also promote steemit in Mindanao especially in Iligan City :)

You've done wonders to steemit especially to the Philippine community... :) We in the Philippine community, will do our best for steemit as well... Be it with the promotions, steemgigs or contributing worthy and quality content... Cebu Steemians are going to have another meetup this month and we hope to find new authors and spread the word of Steemit.. :) More power sir Terry and to everyone who are doing their part for this community. ^^

Woah another meet up. Amazing!

Yep! ^^ it's on the 24th, so I'm really looking forward to it! :D

Upvoting you as a witness! Keep it going! :D

so nice of you to help out the Phillippines I am just new here and hope to soon understand everything there is to know. More power to you and oh congrats for winning a contest!

Yes, you will. It does take time and knowing that is a good start. Too, join the chat rooms, steemit.chat and discord!

absolutely @surpassingoogle slowly but surely improving steemit philippines discord chat is one of the best we are bringing them to steemit ph discord chat to explore more will be supporting you too as witness tomorrow Ill teach them all to vote for witness..tnx for keep on guiding us :)

Good job @surpassinggoogle. You are doing a good job.

Reading all the things you've done in such a short period of time took time. I can only imagine what it took from you. Thank you for your selflessness.

Hahaha it did take something but its all good!

You are, as always, doing such an amazing job, Terry! Both inside and out of the Philippines. I have read @paulag's post on stats post-delegation, and I'm so sure that a lot of people both in and out of the Philippine community are very proud of you. You're awesome! Thanks for all the amazing work @surpassinggoogle! 😊

You boys doing a great job of promoting steemit while helping the community! That is awesome!
<3

Hi, I've been joining steemit for more than 10 days, but as I joined it alone no one explain anything about steemit to me. So sometimes I still kinda confused about stuff.
It's very nice to see people in the other sides of the world having this kinda community, makes me think to built my own.

You can build your own but you need pacing. So start by finding your feet first. You need to join the chat rooms too, to speed you up to knowledge so steemit.chat is a good start. Then you can also join steemspeak.com. This will help

Thank you very much for your information, it's really help

wow, amazing!
congratulations to you, I also admire you.
#witness

My deepest congratulations @surpassinggoogle...😊😍
I think that was great event in philippines.. I think you doing great work for them.. Carry on... It will be great for philippines..
Upvoted for you... 😊👌👍

Thank you for your effort in this comment

Am getting to know more about steemit
Kudos

Great. It does take time but over time, learning each day, great things happen

Thanks,wont relent and congratulation for your recent award

Congratulations on winning the contest, blessings

Blessings received. Thank you

I think I'd better change my comment on something else, that won't make anyone angry :) Thank you ;)

Oh, yo, check another my comments, it's like one time cuz I didn't know what to write, no one even cares, and advert is the only way to get attention to it... I know I'm not right, so yeah, sorry man, I'll try to create more interesting comments, still begging for a place to advert unless I get tired of it and then I'll switch to smth else, sorry for uncomfortable comment :/

People are different but that is the beauty of community. I don't get angry though by things like that. High road is my path. I usually sift the bad to find good in it

I think I gotta stop with advert and just type in a comments, I tested it and it doesn't help, I can't say that I spam, I try to write every time different comment, but yeah, I agree it might get people nervous, I'll resteem your post :) I think it would correct my mistake :/

CommentWealth trolls for trolls and spams the spammers... please be aware @denis231 that consistent spam comments like yours might eventually result in flags, which hurt your reputation and earning potential. Begging for a read in another Steemian's comment thread is really bad form. Next time, try engaging with the author in a way that builds true community here on Steemit!

It is all good. Stay awesome and try to pace things. With time you will be seen. If you have content that you cherish, drop me a link, i will visit it!

Thank you @surpassinggoogle for noticing ideas of my fellow Filipino's. im proud of you guys @steemph 😙.. i will follow you.
