The Thank You Economy - Week 10 with 5+ SBI Shares

It's That Time Again!  

Time For Your Weekly Dose Of Heart Felt Thankfulness  

Well, life goes on and I'm going to post this, I have a feeling that the odds of winning will be pretty good this week.....  

The Thank You Economy has turned into a fun and engaging project so I'm going to keep steeming on.... After 9 weeks I'm still meeting new people, finding new communities and awesome ways to participate and connect with other Steem users.  We already have one entry for the week from @ecoinstant on the winner post from last week.  Via that post he introduced me to @jackmiller, a pretty awesome witness and steemian, I was impressed so I had to switch one of my witness votes to him.  I would encourage you to check out his blog and read a couple of posts.  I read a couple and being a tech nerd myself, he is right on with the comments and suggestions that I read.

Last weeks contest was great. We gave away 6 shares of SBI and the engagement level was Good considering our lovely steemit adventures lately, we had over 50 total comments and 9 entries.   

I just want to Thank Everyone again who has been participating, and resteeming the posts. This week we have a couple sponsors.  So a huge thank you goes out to @freedomshift from the Curation Circle Creed (#ccc) for 1 SBI (maybe more), I haven't been able to verify any other sponsors so I just decided to run with it, I just wish posts were still paying some liquid steem as SBD doesn't work for SBI shares....

What is The Thank You Economy contest all about?

An Attitude of Gratitude - The Thank You Economy is simply a way to say thank you to someone who has helped you, influenced you or blessed you in some way in the Steem community.  It can be tough getting started on Steemit, and the people who have been here for a while realize that.  After all they were new at one time as well.  What I realized about the Steemit community was there are people helping us new guys all over the place, but what can we really do to show our appreciation back?  Not much....

When you are new about all you can do is say "Thank You," maybe give a post a resteem to the 100 followers who are not bots, and a small dust vote.  Those things can add up especially if they have a lot of followers.  That's where the idea for the Thank You Economy contest arose from I wanted to do more to say thank you.  

Maybe I can do more.  It might help to give them a little added exposure in a contest and possibly a share of Steem Basic Income, which will pay them over and over as long as they are posting content.  I thought there might be others who wanted to do the same, not to mention it's fun.  

Just saying thank you to someone opens up all kinds of opportunities to interact with each other.  YOU CAN THANK ANYONE, anyone who has helped you and made a difference in your life, you could even thank @ned for helping develop the steemit platform, now if he won it would probably be a waste of a good SBI share, he usually declines payment for his posts.  

LET'S HAVE SOME FUN

On to the Contest Rules 

The Base Contest - We'll keep this simple.  

• Leave a comment on this post.
• In the comment tag someone who has helped you or influenced you on Steemit use the @coinsandchains format.
• Then briefly tell us why you chose them.

That's all you have to do.  (upvotes, restreems and follows are appreciated though)

One thing, please do not tag bots or alt accounts.

The Prizes and Winner Selection: This Changes almost every week

2 ENTRIES WILL WIN THIS WEEK!!!! That's pretty good odds..... 

• 2 commenters will be randomly selected by the amazing prize wheel I found. The account making the comment and the account tagged in the comment will receive one SBI share each (4 total shares).  
• I will also give an upvote to each valid entry,(RC allowing...) but that does not amount to much.  Upvote your own comment if you would like, or if you have a @dustsweeper account it might help.  

I DECIDED TO KEEP THE ENGAGEMENT BONUS ROUND!!  

So We are going to have TWO Bonus Rounds!!!!

Bonus Round 2: Another chance to win SBI

@freedomshift has generously added a participation bonus, one SBI share for 6 entries that qualify. 

@freedomshift has adjusted the rules, these entries will now be cumulative over 3 weeks. So when we have a total of 6 entries over a 3 week period they will all be added to a drawing for an SBI share. I have to say that @freedomshift is pretty awesome!

@freedomshift decided to pull from the entries we had last week so this starts over this week. If we get 6 entries that's an extra share... so make a post, you also stand to earn more this way!!!!!

@freedomshift: To encourage people to join #ccc, I'll offer additional SBI shares for those who enter the contest or other contests in #ccc based on 1 SBI for every 6 valid entries (200+ words, use of #ccc, reference to the creed).

Here's what you need to do to Qualify: (we had 1 last week we really need 3 this week!)

• Create a post for your entry,  200+ words following the #ccc guidelines found here
• Be sure to use #ccc as one of your tags and include the reference to the #ccc
• Please include a link back to this contest as well.
• Comment on this post with the name of the person you want to thank and a link to your post
• This comment/post will count as your entry into the main contest also.

This is an awesome bonus, and it adds a chance for you to earn a little on your post as well. Thank you @freedomshift for doing this.

All of this means that you could win up to 3 shares of SBI and One for the person you are saying Thank You to!

Just Incase You Don't Know What SBI Is.
