I would love to use this means to invite every steemian to offer a #steemgig today.
A SteemGig is simply a steemit post, within which you practice your expertise and offer it as a service in exchange for steem or SBD. However, you can get more creative, an offer to give out SBD or Steem to incite steemians in deed, in to doing more creative, innovative deeds.
Most Steemgig posts are done under #steemgigs or #steemgig
How To Do A Steemgig?
@stellabelle wrote an elaborate post about this:
Sample steemgigs:
- I will create your logo design, for 5 SBD
- I will create a voice over in the voice of Angelina Jolie, that advertises your brand, for 5 SBD
- I will submit your steemit URL to my 5,000,000 targeted Facebook followers, for 5 SBD
- I will write your steemit username on the sand of any Philippines sea of your choosing, for 5 Steem
- I will create a steemit post, that teaches you how to cook any meal recipe, for 5 SBD
- I will translate your post into Filipino, for 5 SBD
But the point and beauty of a SteemGig is: "Everyone has something to offer", so look at these sample SteemGigs:
- I will record myself eating a giant cake, while inviting people to follow you on steemit, for 5 SBD
- I will pay 5 SBD, if you make a post showing yourself writing "steemit.com" on your classroom whiteboard.
- I will pay 5 SBD, to anyone who can send a BIG Mac to my address.
You will notice that #steemgigs allow you the freedom of flexing your creative muscles and waters your innovative abilities.
e.g
1. @teamhumble: found #steemgigs in his early days on steemit and immediately created a venture that involved converting entire steemit posts into professional voice over. He looked to the Dev-Request channel on the SteemGigs community to speak to the developers there, regarding building tools. Currently, he is doing great things with this expertise and involving the steemit community in creating a community-driven steemit powered video, filled with voice-overs!
2. @drpuffnstuff: was able to administer the creation of a full-blown steemit.com-sponsored wooden library in a city in USA, without leaving his home, by offering a steemgigs bounty within his SteemGig; to which @valued-customer (steemian indeed) responded to make it a success. (Steemit growth & real world impact)
3. @inkphinit: flexed his innovative muscles and used a SteemGig to incite steemians into stirring steemit growth by doing charity work. Basically, in one steemgig, he offered a bounty to steemians, who would donate books and clothes to charity hubs in any nation & @thatsweeneyguy & @drpuffnstuff were among "steemians indeed" who made it a success!
4. @thatsweeneyguy: has worked tirelessly ever since, in propagating #steemgigs by writing a magazine-type weekly post, that compiles all the steemgigs. He also updates our quip document and offered and done successful steemgigs.
Anything....
Anything that involves giving out a bounty or payment, in exchange for "steemian deeds" can constitute a SteemGigs.
Anything that involves "steemians indeed & "steemians in need" can constitute a SteemGig.
Anything that involves honing a skill or practicing an expertise, can constitute a SteemGig.
Anything that involves anything creative, innovative etc can constitute a SteemGig.
etc.....
Steemgigs can also be done or offered for free!
Steemgigs & The Philippines Steemit Community
This post is a bit targeted to the Philippines Steemit Community as we invite every Philippines-based steemian to join in doing a #steemgig today.
Here is a quote from me: "From pauperism to CEOism is as easy as converting full-blown poop into tiny fart trinklets! Bottomline, it's not that hard!"
"Mentality is key! Let's go big!"
While Steemit is modeled around "mining with minds"; #steemgigs are modeled around "mining the beautiful minds of steemians".
We want to help direct you, to tap into more beautiful aspects of YOU, while exploring the full, true beauty & capacity of the steem blockchain.
We want you, to tap into the aspects of YOU, that involves creating dreams, building visions, playing a part in building other people's dreams, playing a part in history, all; while honing your skills and practicing your expertise.
We believe that "Everyone has something to offer". So why not join in, and do a #steemgig today! Play a role in history by providing your expertise as a service, in exchange for Steem or SBD or give out SBD or Steem to spur steemians into more innovative action.
Be "steemian indeed" to "steemians in need".
Why Now?
This is a good time in the Philippines Community's age to encourage everyone in this awesome community to do #steemgigs.
We are evolving as a community and there is an influx of new steemians. It is a good moment to discuss this, as we are still getting to know each other and when you do offer a number of #steemgigs, we can get to know another thing or two about YOU (The human behind the steemian).
Newer steemians may be trying to find their feet at this stage and not everyone is a blogger but "Everyone has something to offer".
It is good for newer steemians, to start to explore the true beauty of the steem blockchain from day one as it helps them understand quicker; the use of steem & steemit, even a tool to become truly empowered, in terms, of building entire empires, enterprises, business etc as opposed to just blogging.
Overall, a steemgig involves a measure of blogging!
Many amazing things have happened already in the Steemit Philippines Community, triggered by a #steemgig!
e.g
@deveerei; hails from the Philippines and started out doing #steemgigs from day one. It is known that he has been successful in offering his service of graphic designing as he has continued to document evolution & success of his steemgigs services, within his steemit posts.
More recently, he has played a role in history, by creating the official logo for Medblock by @cerebralace
He has played a role in history, by creating the official logo for "@surpassinggoogle.
He now has his clothing line on Teespring, where you can purchase his line of Teeshirts!
He has been steemian indeed, many times!
More recently......
@eastmeal (Filipino), a newer steemian who has eyes for coding, is starting to look into his innovative side and I recently told him to join the steemgigs community and speak with @steemdeveloper.
Then @dwightjaden (Filipino), @devereei's Dad, has started taking his arts and drawing to a new level even within his steemit posts as he now choose different steemians and celebrating them by making them objects of his arts. "Evidence that he needs to do a Steemgigs post soon!"
The SteemGigs Community On Discord
Has existed and has around 500 of the most innovative and creative steemians, covering every niche and industry.
Too, the steemgigs community has a Dev Request channel that have come to the aid of even newer steemians, looking to build productivity tools. There is also an Idea Factory built, to discuss and cook up ideas, from dream-like ideas to steemit post ideas.
Down the road, Steemgigs will apply the combine brainpower of the steemit community to create real world breakthrough solutions to at least one world plague.
@steemgigs Mission/Vision Statement
We are looking to play our role in:
- Improving the steem economy.
- Improving steemit growth.
- Tightening the bond of our existing steemit community.
- Unveiling the "human behind the steemian".
- Unraveling the wealth and depth of our existing steemit community.
- Imploring steemians to practice their profession & hone their expertise.
- Instilling in the steemit community, the culture/art of "giving and receiving".
- To create a more fun atmosphere even in the face of overwhelming events.
- Add an organic reputation system (SteemGigs Success Testimonials) to our reputation score system.
- Expanding the vision of steemians, with regards to the scalabilty/capability of the steem blockchain,
- Sparking more creativity thus, more solutions to real world problems.
- Beautify steemit/steem in the search engines.
- Connecting steemians in need to steemians indeed.
- Keeping inactive steemians in the steem economy by means of live SteemGigs.
- Providing non-blogger steemians with incessant ways to earn steem/SBD
- Burn SBDs
- Gift humanity with a least one breakthrough product/solution
- Attracting the freelance industry, recruiting agencies and powerful organizations to the steem economy.
- etc
We will accomplish all the above while disrupting Fiverr's centralized system and infusing blockchain decentralization into the freelancing & recruitment industry. We are tackling this in the most practical, unconventional, creative and fun way, using 5,000 or more SteemGigs posts and an eventual steem-powered interface/website to hub the beauty we create.
Ultimately, we are creating news ways to keep "mining with minds" in motion, in a never-ending fun loop!
