Fostering (Adopting) A Steemian Gardener
The other day I had mentioned in a post that I would be starting to foster a gardener as part of my Spreading the Stewards Of Gondor love.
Here is the original post introducing the initiative as well as some nominations made in the comments. There is still time to nominate yourself or another gardener. This will be an on-going list as each week I will be fostering a new gardener until the list is complete; which I don't want to have happen, so please make sure to keep the nominations going!
Fostering? How?
Just like my Embracing A Steemian that I do on Sunday, I will be working with, offering support (whether with post ideas, formatting questions, or whatever the gardener needs advice on). The fostered gardener will also receive 100% UPvotes from me throughout the week.
There will be some requirements of the nominee.
Qualifications for being FOSTERED:
* MUST post EVERY day for the week (Tuesday through the following Monday)- consistency is key
- While dedication and consistency are important- it has been brought to my attention that there are MANY members who are dedicated, but with spotty (rural) internet connections, band-width issues and various other legitimate concerns, posting every day may become an issue. So I have taken this into consideration for the "fostering" initiative challenge.
- One post you make a day will be UPvoted at 100% by me. **NOTE: Consideration that if you cannot post daily, I will still UPvote SEVEN quality posts. So if you post two quality posts one day but none the next two days, you will still get the guaranteed 100% UPvotes.
- MUST have less than 500SP
- MUST have a minimum reputation of 35
- YOU MUST accept this challenge in my weekly Monday post if I have called upon you
- Topics MUST BE gardening, herbs, flowers, planting, greenhouse, etc (you get the picture here)
- You MUST have established the gardening topic(s) within your page already; where I can see the gardening posts are what you're writing about.
- You MUST BE available in Discord for some one-on-one tutoring or Q&A time.
Fostering a Gardener runs from Tuesday through the following Monday EVERY week.
The first Fostered Gardener is @borrowedearth
PLEASE make sure TO ACCEPT this initiative and that you are available on Discord for one-on-one chats!
Once you have accepted this challenge and made a quality post, you will see this in the comment section indicating that I have fulfilled my end of the fostering.
You have been chosen to be my Fostered Gardener Of The Week Thanks to @fulltimegeek's delegation as a Steward of Gondor @goldendawne will be here for you to assist, guide and help you GROW- just like your garden- on steemit. Please accept this 100% Upvote for this post. You will receive a 100% Upvote for every post (up to seven per week) you make for the seven days CONGRATULATIONS on being a committed steemian!
THIRD Golden Ambassador Announced
Who is The First Golden Ambassador?
@karenfoster
Karen's page and profile says, "working towards a healthier, self sustaining, happier life. urban farming, raising chickens, bee keeping, and cannabis/hemp are passions of mine..."
When you're new to a platform like steemit, it can tend to be overwhelming. While I don't know much about cryptocurrency, I am definitely someone who can help others with formatting, interaction, advancement on the platform and how to conduct yourself.
One of the biggest questions I get is, “how do you make money?”
Well, it's a two-fold answer.
Today I asked @davemccoy if I could share some tips on how to be successful on steemit with some do's and don't's of what I have learned over the last six plus months.
Do's Of Steemit
Make sure to be visible- whether you are posting daily, commenting as much as you can and never leaving a comment in your post “unattended”- always answer people
Join a Discord community- whether one specifically for new steemians or in a group of like-minded people
Follow or join a curation group (ie. Qurator, thesteemengine)
Treat you posts, comments and page as a business. Conduct yourself professionally.
ALWAYS spell check your post before submitting. Spelling errors can stop a curator member from sharing your post- you may miss out on some fabulous exposure.
Participate in some good tags, challenges and contests- ie. gratefulvibes, walkwithme, freewrite, marketfriday; just to name a few popular ones
Don't's Of Steemit
DO NOT participate in the follow me/follow you mentality. This is high frowned upon.
NEVER post your own link or post in another's post/comments unless they have asked for it or give permission.
Don't Upvote EVERY post or comment. DO not treat Upvotes as likes as on other social media websites
STOP looking at your wallet balance- this will drive you absolutely crazy
DO not be a drive-by comment person; such as leaving comments like”good post”, “nice post”, etc. Leave a thoughtful and thought-filled comment that requires the person to answer you back perhaps. This is a way of networking on steemit.
These are the basic lessons I have learned in my time on steemit and they have ALL helped me progress to where I am today.
