Winners Announcement // Engagement Challenge 4 Newcomers.
Steem greetings all the way from the motherland-Cameroon to fellow Steemitians. It has been an awesome four weeks on the Steemit engagement challenge for newcomers and I will use this opportunity to thank 🤗 all newcomers whom tried to actively participate in the challenge though their best was not good enough.
The purpose of this challenge was to boost engagement among newcomers because we realised that most of them hardly even reply to comments on their posts.
The contest was meant to build a strong bond between newcomers and oldbies on the platform via engagement. Also, that via the challenge newcomers will set achievable goals on Steemit. I believe that in every journey of life, for one to succeed you got to set achievable goals. What do I mean by “achievable goals”? Of course, you don’t just set goals for a setting sake but set goals that you work towards attaining the said goals.
Creating an account on Steemit is a start of a journey and to succeed on this journey you got to set goals. Some of which I set for myself was to reach 10,000SP in 2 years and reach a reputation of 70.
Nonetheless, setting goals means you got to work hard in order to achieve the goals and the following technicalities were of great help.
Firstly, actively posting quality content. The quality of your content should not only be limited to writing, presentation counts a lot. To make your content presentable means you got to master your markdown styles to apply to your content.
Secondly, what is the essence for you to drop a post and disappear till another day. I always say “we grow by uplifting others”. If you cannot uplift another person, then do not expect uplifting from another person. What do I mean here? You grow on Steemit by building an audience via engagement. Engaging meaningful comments and not just short sentences like “wow you had a nice day”. This is not meaningful engagement. Short and un-meaningful comments does not trigger the content creator to respond.
Thirdly, consistency counts a lot on Steemit. You need to stay consistent in your engagement and posting quality content. This way, you build an audience for your content and attract support.
For the past 4 weeks of the challenge, the number of participants ranged between 3-6 each week. This implies that newbies did not take the challenge seriously and for this reason, I will no longer continue the challenge. But will host a different general contest for everyone willing to participate.
Each week, we monitored the engagement and posts created by the participants according to the rules of the challenge. 5 tried to create content ranging between 1-4 articles in a week. Notwithstanding, only 2 among the 5 were actively engaging in meaningful conversations with other content.
The following were the rules of the engagement challenge for newcomers.
Contest Rules:
- Actively posting quality content on the steem-cameroon community.
- Engage with meaningful comments on other users content and also reply to all engaging comments on your content.

Winners

It was an initiative I brought up to encourage new users but unfortunately they did not take it serious and I will not continue with the challenge again. Opportunity comes but once and when it comes grab it. When I was a new user, I had no such opportunities but I was still focus and set achievable goals which I can say I achieved them all.
