Remember, only one person wins member of the month but this time around the members that helped that member win also next level upvote but this is limited to just 4 supporters.

A member of the month can only win it once in 12 calendar months. The aim of the contest is to motivate members to encourage other members through their actions which includes and not limited to comments, upvotes, resteems, assistance to others, help in building the community and other things you as a members feels that the members has done for the good of others, our community and Steem as a whole.

Please remember that our judges @emergehealthier and @definethedollar can be nominated and can also nominate others if they choose to.

The members that are excluded from the contest are the admin @ketcom because I’ll be the judge in this cause, @blueeyes8960 as she won the May contest and @crypt-skip who is the current winner. Aside these 3 every other person is qualified to be nominated as member of the month of July 2019.

The contest is very easy and goes as follows:

• Nominate a any member of the community you feel is worthy to win the title @upvotebuilders Member of the Month Award and tell us why you nominated that person.

• Nominated members must be members of our community irrespective of when they joined and they must Upvote and Resteem this post and follow @upvotebuilders if they are not already following us.

Next Level Winners: The first 4 members that nominated the eventual winner also win “Next Level” upvote.

Bonus from @ketcom: All members that participated in this contest will win a surprise bonus from the admin @ketcom. I am still wondering what it is, so don’t ask me. Lol.

The contest kicks off now so you can start by nominating a member after reading our report and tell us why you feel he/she should be the winner. Nominations of members end June 29th 2019 and the winner will be announced on July 1st 2019.

This is our way of encouraging members to encourage others. If we all play our part then we will make this Blockchain a whole lot better for all of us.

Featured Member

As already mentioned when we did the introduction of this section that when we have new members we feature them first before continuing on our featured list for old members. We have two new members but will feature one today and another tomorrow and if we don’t have new member after them we continue with our list.

Our featured member is @thereikiforest. Please visit the blog at https://steemit.com@thereikiforest all and show your support. Thank you as you do that.

If you don’t want to be featured please notify me by sending a memo to @upvotebuilders or through the comment section of this post. If you have already notified me don’t bother repeating it again.

You can send a summary of what your blog is all about in a memo to @upvotebuilders or admin will go through your blog and come up with a summary of what he things your blog is about.

Please members this is just another way of further helping ourselves to grow via promoting our own through upvotes, comments, resteem and anyway you feel you can impact positively on other members’ blog. It will be very nice if all members are showing solidarity with the member featured so that when it gets to your turn you receive similar support.

This will also help us know more about other members and learn/see what their blog is all about. This is a social platform and the more we engage with each other I think it should be the better for us all.

Thank you everyone as we continue to work together to grow because there is power in unity!

Note: This section may be reviewed as we move along to make it more effective as we continue to receive more feedback.

Expiring Leased SP / First Power Down Income / Taking Up Long Term Leases

We got our first income from the power down yesterday - 38.479 Steem.

Since I didn’t know the chances of our lease offer to be taken on time I donated 1.1 Steem and added it to what we have in our balance to extend the 600 SP that was to expire yesterday for one week, Fortunately all our lease offer were taken up by the time I woke up this morning.

I leased 3 200 SPs for 12 weeks at 10.526 Steem each and another 131 Steem for 12 weeks at 6.895 Steem. It gives us a total of 731 SP for 12 weeks at a total cost of 38.473.

The 650 leased SP will be allowed to expire in about 8 hours.

I’ll continue taking up long term lease from proceeds of our curation. They may not be much but they all add up. So please continue to upvote our post. Thank you.

Membership Upgrade

Some members have been kind enough to upgrade their membership by delegating additional SP to their current delegated SP. This is really helping to grow the community SP which in turn grows the value of our upvotes.

Membership SP delegation will help reduced our reliance on leasing SP. Help us grow this community to encourage the content creators that are poorly rewarded through the upvote value they receive. So we need the big time delegators to join us and reap the benefits available for all members.

Our members SP is getting bigger than the leased SP, this is very good and we hope it skyrockets soon. You can check out all the details on the table below. Please remember that the early bird gift starts counting from the day of launch of this community.

Membership

Membership @upvotebuilders is by DELEGATION ONLY, it is not a paid for community. If you want to sponsor the community you can freely delegate SP to us and specify that it is for sponsorship or you can send us Steem/SBD to lease more SP. Our sponsors don’t receive upvotes from the community account except they specifically want to be a member and also sponsor the community in the way they feel best for them.

To join just delegate SP to @upvotebuilders based on the membership level you want to belong to according to the chart below

Membership Delegation Levels

Level 1: 10 - 49 SP delegation - 4% voting weight
Level 2: 50 - 99 SP delegation - 8% voting weight
Level 3: 100 - 249 SP delegation - 16% voting weight
Level 4: 250 - 499 SP delegation - 24% voting weight
Level 5: 500 - 999 SP delegation - 36% voting weight
Level 6: 1,000 – 2,499 SP delegation - 48% voting weight
Level 7: 2,500 – 4,999 SP delegation - 60% voting weight
Level 8: 5,000 – 7,499 SP delegation - 72% voting weight
Level 9: 7,500 and above gets you 80% voting weight

All membership delegation levels will receive one upvote daily (every 24 hours) this is to curtail abuse of the system. You can always increase, decrease or undelegate to @upvotebuilders at any time and we will adjust your voting weight accordingly.
