What's the point of this contest?
The challenge began with this post to promote healthy and organic growth by following The Three C's: Content, Comments, and Curation. Using strict guidelines the challengers set their own pace. It includes helpful tips and guidance from proper tag usage to optimal formatting. Hopefully, they each see positive results in engaged followers and potential earnings.
Thank you very much dear friend @ meritj99 for this mention, I want to thank you for having initiated this challenge, in particular it was a great challenge, congratulations for the success of the project, extending to all the people who have participated, if they the challenge would not be right of being.
I wish you all a happy Sunday
meep
Yahh! Congrats to the already-winners! Thanks @merej99 for your solid support!
You are sooo close to the finish line. Do you realize that? Before I went to bed you only had 101 more comments to go!
Eeep! The finish line is nearing! We shall see! Thanks @merej99! Get some good shuteye tonight!
Now this is the motivation I needed!
For sure! Glad @merej99 told us about those gifs...
Yes, you can! :)
My goal is to submit my 7th post tonight and have less than 200 comments to tackle for the final leg. My post is almost complete but both kiddos woke up before I could finish it!
@merej99 - should I keep listing posts once I've completed the 7 for the challenge?
Absolutely! The daily diary is going to be published until the last day of the challenge. It is entirely up to you to keep posting links to be included. But since you've reached the minimum, the pressure's off.
Excellent! Ok I'll post over there now- thanks!
I'm determined to get through these last 200 comments, I'm just way too far in to give up!
You've got all of today, tomorrow and the 18th. 3 whole days! You kiddin'? You got this NO PROBLEM! ;)
Ohhh, I thought it was like ending on the 18th (midnight of the 17th). Well that's a load off!
I've actually been publishing these diaries at 5 in the morning. Speaking of which, I just posted Day 9. And I do a sweep of everyone who's close to give them the best chance of success. So you should have your post count done NO PROBLEM. Think of it as Wednesday at the buttcrack of dawn for the end all be all deadline.
Cool, I should be fine then :)
Congratulations to the other finishers! This is great to see! May you continue the good work.
Hey Frank, according to my numbers from last night, you're only ONE post and <129 comments to reach the winner's circle!
Yeaysssssssssss! I have the other post and only about 60 comments away! I plan to be in the circle tomorrow! Also, I don't know if you saw this...Did you send out Steem Gnome, because I have not received him yet.
This challenge has kept me on track and challenged me to do what we all should be doing daily anyway!!
I does make for good practice, doesn't it? No dates for the next one yet. I think we may all need a little recovery time. LOL
I agree with you :)
So happy to note that the prize money have increased. As you said, i am almost there. Still coming out with my comments.
@positivesteem, before I went to bed last night you only had 213 comments left to go! I think you can do that -- no problem!
I wake up at 5am this morning to continue my comments. ha ha
Mission accomplished. I now have a total of 3526 posts compared to 3009 posts previously and that is an increase of 517 posts. Hurray, time to celebrate. I have a backache from all the sitting down in front of the computer.
