Everyone loves to win prizes and large sums of cash tends to be the favorite! But let's face the cold, hard, facts. Unless the contest/sweepstakes is being ran by a whale, chances are the prize will be reasonably small. Times are rough for almost everyone and few can afford to pay for a $400 prize (or more).
Let's change that!
Announcing the Prize Pool Building Club!
1 -- Two types of contests/sweeps.
A -- Daily Mini contests/sweeps, short, sweet and easy with a small prize decided by random number. (I will post your number in your comment/entry BEFORE the drawing.
B -- Big contests/sweeps that will require a little more effort but have MUCH larger prizes (10, 25, 50 or 100 SBD).
2 -- Daily accounting
In the post for the daily Mini contests/sweeps, I will include a full accouning of all SBD earned on every post. You can track my numbers just by looking at my Wallet History. I want everything to be open for everyone to see.
3 -- Division of SBD earnings
90% of ALL SBD earned from every mini-contest, update post and larger prize posts goes into the prize pool.
10% helps me have a little income too. My only income is the little bit I get from selling jewelry. I need to keep the
lights on just like everyone else.
5 Different Prize Pools?
The 90% of each post I make using the sotallcontest tag, will be divided as follow. (note: funds I earn from non-contest related post do NOT go into the prize pool. They help me buy seeds, pay postage costs etc., etc.)
10 SBD Pool receives 40% of the main pool. This could easily turn into a once a week or even a daily 10 SBD prize if the club becomes popular
25 SBD Pool receives 30% of the main pool. Highly possible for this to reach a weekly prize.
50 SBD Pool receives 15% of the main pool. Can we do this monthly? Only time will tell.
100 SBD Pool receives 10% of the main pool.
Daily prize Pool receives 5% of the main pool.
Who can enter the contests?
Any member of Steemit can join, but keep in mind only the daily mini will be a sweepstakes. The main SBD prizes will a contest that requires a little more effort (like making a post). The vast majority of the subjects will be about the homesteading/survival/self sufficiency/foraging categories. Knowledge in these areas will always be a big plus in the larger prize contests.
Unlike the daily prize sweeps, the large prize contests will require some thought. We are looking for the best of the best. We'll be asking for your ideas on what to do or how to do something specific to the homesteading/survival/self sufficiency/foraging categories. Knowing little about these categories can be a hindrance to your chances of winning.
