CONTEST - THANK YOU ECONOMY WEEK 6 | 6+ SBI SHARES
The Thank You Economy - Week 6 with 6+ SBI Shares
Back For Your Weekly Dose Of Heart Felt Thankfulness
Hey guys I need some help. I want to continue the contest so I probably need to get some kind of logo/banner. Do any of you guys have any ideas or graphic skills or know anyone with graphic skills? Let me know in the comments, because graphics are not my strong suit.
(may do a contest....)The Thank You Economy has turned into a fun project and every week I'm meeting new people, finding new communities and awesome ways to participate and connect with other Steem users. Last weeks contest was great. We gave away 6 shares of SBI and the engagement level was great, with over 70 total comments and 12 entries. I was also introduced to the #ASAPers started by the amazing and funny @insideoutlet. It is a great steemit support project and I would encourage everyone to check out their latest A.S.A.P! Issue.
I just want to Thank Everyone again who has been participating, and you guys helped keep me in the top 10 in Asher's Engagement League that @abh12345 hosts.... This week we have a couple sponsors and additions to the contest. So a huge thank you goes out to @ecoinstant an awesomely fun and engaging sponsor who is starting up a Small Fish Games initiative and sponsoring 2 shares of SBI and to @freedomshift from the Curation Circle Creed (#ccc) for sponsoring 1 share and maybe more.
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: Here's where some twists happen
3 ENTRIES WILL WIN!!!! That's pretty good odds.....
- Two 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).
- @ecoinstant will also select the most interesting or heartfelt or well thought out or most engaging, thank you note for one SBI share to a recommender and a recommended.
- I will also give an upvote to each valid entry, 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.
- 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.
Bonus Round: Another chance to win SBI
@freedomshift has generously added a participation bonus, one SBI share for 6 entries that qualify.
@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 2 last week let's get some more this week.)
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.
Just Incase You Don't Know What SBI Is.
In the interest of saving space you can learn more by visiting @steembasicincome. It is a pretty cool project with several people working on it. The brains behind the operation and main sponsor is @josephsavage #steembasicincome
AND NOW A WORD FROM OUR SPONSORS......
(In my best tv host voice!!!)
@ecoinstant - The Small Fish Games! #smallfishgames
What is The Small Fish Games? It is the brain child of @ecoinstant, who is currently beta testing an initiative to create some fun and engagement here on steem. I have a feeling it's going to be a lot of FUN and he is talking about some great prizes: Delegated SP, SBI shares, Treeplanter Upvotes....

He is an active member for Pay it Forward and ASAPERS and a few other groups on here. I want to thank him for the quality work he is doing. His post always teach me something or many me think Even if it is just a simple thing like what super power I want. His runs giveways that are easy to enter. In general he gives back a lot to the steem community so if you don't know him please check him out. I will be doing a long post to share soon.
Here is a post with more on him https://steemit.com/ccc/@stever82/contest-thank-you-economy-week-6-bonus-entry
@bengy is an awesome choice, I too enjoy his posts, particularly his music curation posts. You are right I literally see him all over the place and engaged with several communities.
Looking forward to the bonus post, and thanks for hitting our sponsors.
Thank you for mentioning me! Very humbled and much appreciated!
Actually I wanted to sponsor 1 SBI for this contest😊 let me know if you need it. And I also want to thanks @headchange for her support all this time, she's always there and get me out from my comfort zone to engage with other people through pay it forward contest and also @viking-ventures who has showed me how to choose good posts through her curation style.
Everyday and every week I find out that even though they're busy with life and their own posts, they still spots great steemians and drag me to them silently.
Thank you @coinsandchains, who knows that you've made this contest to 6 weeks already😉
well-well ... who's the go-getter here now @cicisaja, you certainly find your way around fast lol :) ... that's great , i think people like you are the true backbone of this thing, i do ... wouldnt have noticed but just dropped by b/c it won a botvote in @maahes raffle for @coinsandchains, one of my must trusty supporters of the three there, much thanks for all that, hope we can grow and diss out a little more ehj :p
i can't shake the feeling i see quite a few of the voters on the distros being a lot more active than a few months ago, i'm always hoping i have played a small part in that
to the moon !
(then to mars)
Thanks to you 😉 you've made me think about the politics on Steemit and though I kept my self away from that kind of stuffs, I felt like you really help me out to be a go-getter too😂
If you look around me, you'll find many people like me too. We're all want to be on Steemit and make it better through our hard and smart work. Next time, you need to teach me about cryptocurrencies and how to make an investment in a safe way.. but only if my shop is running well and start to produce money for me 😅 thank you Rudy😊
well, that's great, if you have any questions don't hesitate, but you probably already know i'm not much of a mainstream or community person as i am kiplings cat reborn in the flesh :)
i know, i stick better to people like you than to the big money or the marketeers and yea, staying away from top-level politics is probably a good idea, unless you want to be the symbol of "the muslim woman in charge" for all that politically correct equality crap lol ... i dont think its worth the hassle and i'm happy to get by comfortably ... dolphin sounds nice, whale sounds too fat, i'm not really interested in lambos and yaughts haha ... if you have line or wechat you can add me there, same name/handle for private messaging if thats ever needed and you're right once more : life first, unlike me, you already have business to take care of, it would be a shame to risk that for just a chance at something more (the voteweight is just me shaving off some minutes so i can maybe get some more to commenters per day, it should always be at least the dust treshold payout level i try to be careful with that, it doesnt mean i like you 8% less than yesterday lol, its just the price went up so there's more to divide ... my own low-level politic :p)
take care ... i'll get to the replies later
Heeyy.. where are we😞 let's keep this posts only for the contest😂😂 I'll go to your "rant post" ..where we can talk about anything freely without confusing other commenters here 😂
hahah, sure thing :) i was just saying hi in my own personal, very elaborate way :)
You would never do that, I mean nothing elaborate. I think these are some of your shortest posts or comments I have ever seen...
well ... i let it slide just for one day and its already stacking up lol ... but with this my little inner beast can stay silent for a few months
(i hope) :p
LOL, I see you are friends with sir Catling as well. He's hilarious and always full of interesting comments. You guys are more than welcome to chat here.
Thanks for the mention. I always enjoy our little conversations. You also do extremely well in the engagement leagues - your friendliness and thoughtfulness come out in that, for sure.
I really thank you for guiding me to many best bloggers so I can learn from them too😊
Thank you so much! Your kind words are heartwarming. I don't know about the dragging you around part though. I think you may be stalking 😜
I have been so far behind this week you will be arriving places before I do. So you can go ahead and tag me if it is something interesting. 😉
Seriously though thanks so much for choosing me. Also reminding me I need to do an entry.
You only have to do it once to make me remember that kind of action forever and you deserved my thank you economy😉
Be ready then I guess it is my turn. Do the children in your country play tag?
Tag 😊 is it on steemit or real life? What is "play tag"? Or how do we play it?
lol.... I love it.....
Oh I will teach you tag 😇 Since you said I been dragging you all over the platform anyway we may as well play with it.
Tag is a popular children's game where one child is "it" and has to chase the others until he can touch one or tag him. That makes the other child it
So tag you are it has become a joke among adults when they try to catch each other. Sometimes used in terms of playing "phone tag"
But I can't play today because I am minding a discord channel and can't hear my Ginabot 😏
@cicisaja Both of those are awesome choices, I've had a few interactions with both, and they are always pleasant and positive.
On the sponsorship, if you would like to next week that would be awesome. Do you have an initiative that you would like to highlight? I'm guessing the pifc, but it's up to you.
Yes.. pifc is a best choice 😉 thanks for the reminder.. so let's do it. 1 sbi from me
All right you are in for next week, I should have a shout out for pifc already written, unless you want to write one for the post.
No I have another thing to write😉 probably the engagement league or steem community, and post your pifc shout out too, I'd like to read it😉
I'll dig it up in a bit and post it for an example, you can also look at the word from our sponsor's section for examples.
oops, I forgot to send that to you....
Hey @coinsandchains! I am back!! I wrote a post in support of @freedomshift's calling to join #ccc (not sure if I did it correctly): https://steemit.com/thankyou/@marblely/contest-thank-you-economy-week-6-thank-you-cryptocariad
(let me know if I did not? and I will edit it :)
Thank you @coinsandchains for your kindness and effort in putting this together. And thank you @ecoinstant and @freedomshift for your kind sponsorship! 💗💗💗
This is an amazing entry. I commented on the post... @cryptocariad
Thank you @coinsandchains! You have us the opportunity to enter which is totally more amazing! :)
I would like to thank @improv for selflessly pouring his puns onto the blockchain for over a year! I have never seen such a fun pun master!
Oh man, I totally agree, His punday monday is puntastic, and everybody on there has a lot of pun....
Punfectly spun.
lol, thats pretty funny.
YOU GUYS. I'm blushing over here.
Alright! Dead last last week and among the first this week!
This week I want to thank @freedomshift! He's been very generous to us both as far as sponsoring these SBI shares for our contests! I don't know why everyone doesn't take him up on his offer!
Brilliant choice, I would like to add to that thanks, as well. He's working very hard to create a community that can help newbies get started making a little on their posts.
I would like to thank you @coinsandchains. You host a wonderful contest which reminds us all to be grateful. It brings out the best in us because we need to think kind thoughts of someone else and honor them with our 'best chosen" words. I have also chosen you because you visit my blog and engage in real conversation with me. It makes posting worthwhile as I really appreciate that people are taking the time out to read and share their thoughts. Thank you.
Thank you @momogrow, I am honored by your thoughts. I truly have enjoyed your posts they are insightful, very detailed, and you take great photos.
I will nominate @o07 who is always running a contest. His contest has made me learn new creative ways to make meme and gifs.
Awesome pick. Dude really loves @steemmonsters. I entered a few real quick... Don't know what I will do with them if I won but hey it's just fun to participate. I have half a dozen right now and no clue what to do with them, not enough time to figure it out.
I enter them as well. Think of the cards as an investment. The game is very popular so who knows what the cards might be worth in a years time. Some of the cards are already worth into the thousands of dollar.
That's kind of what I was thinking as well. The ones I have are basic, I did join a couple together, but still basic.
Same here ... I did manage to pick up two legendaries in giveaways but overall I just got the basic cards.
I think this week I will say @ecoinstant he is a constant source of good cheer mixed with good advice. He has also went very far out of his way to help me out with technical difficulties. As an added bonus he stalks out a certain redneck keeping him too busy to pick on me.
LOL, I love it. This is getting good. Hey, one thing if a redneck doesn't pick at you that means they don't like you.... It's kind of a rule in our house, you will get picked at and teased a little. Don't worry the Texas redneck will be around before long to pick at all of us. I have a challenge for you though. See if you can ever get the last comment in a string with Sir Janton...... I've tried a couple times yet never succeeded.
Seems like I did that once already. Try calling him smarty britches ... he hates that. Come to think of it not seen him since I said that. I would say I may have scared him off. But knowing how competitive he is I rather suspect he is over there making sure to be the top dog on curie comments.
That's probably my fault.... I told him about the curie contest and that he was a runner-up the second week. He placed in the contest without even trying, didn't even know there was a contest......
face-palm
I even went as far as to tell him my strategy that landed me in first place..... 😭
You are ever so helpful aren't you? I think I may just mosey on over to the IFC and have a go at fiction writing. Stand a better chance of making a Steem
I know, encourage the beast.... I just can't help it, he's dang good at it and I like seeing people succeed.
So what is the IFC?
Wait a min so what is this amazing magical strategy you got going? Oh never mind.
Well, just basically hit curie's account comment's section and go through every post they comment on.
oh cool! what was the strategy? I forgot it already.
That's what happens when you get old.
ha! I think I've always had that problem but steemit does give you alot of mental exercise trying to keep track of a few hundred things at once, or at least it does for me. lol.
As many as you keep going I don't see how you keep track of all of them.
ha! I don't try to have the last word, you just bale in the middle of our conversations and then are gone for weeks at a time.
You know we had one that was over 50 comments deep and I finally gave up.....
haha! no way! really?
yes, a couple times we were at 25+
ahahaha! amateurs.
lol, you are having too much fun. BTW if I pick on you too much, let me know.
hahaha! that's impossible as I'm sure you guessed, I thrive on it! In fact I get so tired of all the sickeningly sweet stuff on here, especially when it gets to the worshipful state, oh man. people need to get real and not try so hard to be so sweet! lol. is that a bad attitude?
lol, bad attitude Janton, (this is where I would insert the A-team Mr. T gif. If I had time to find one.)
lol, I told someone, that if a redneck didn't pick at you, that meant they didn't like you. I have to rein in my oldest she sometimes carries it too far. I've been known to as well.
yeah I've really gotten jumped on a couple of times by harassing someone who I like to tease then someone else seeing that comment and jumping in there to defend them! lol.
so most of the time I wait a few days to comment like that so no one sees it except the target.
how old is your oldest? she learned if from you! lol.
that Mr. T gif would be perfect!
I'm never that busy.
Maybe not but you do get all muddled up and forget what you are replying too. That leads to some highly amusing comment threads.
ha! right. name one.
perfect example!
what is? you lost me again. I not very good with cryptic messages. you write 800 word replies to people and I get two. no wonder I'm always confused!
this is smarty britches 🙄 You just proved the point that you get muddled ... now try to keep up would ya. 😜
hey I thought I was smarty britches! you tryin to confuse me again? and when did I get muddled? I've only gotten my comments mixed up one time and it sure wasn't what you're talkin about, it was a doozy. lol.
This is very kind of you HeadChange! I am much obliged! I haven't been around as much this week, but I'm not going anywhere long term!
You deserve it. And I still remember you helped me out. Don't worry I have also had a very hectic week. But I am always around somewhere on the platform. Will try to stay up to date on your new project. It sounded interesting.
let me know if you had any ideas for your logo and i can try knock something up for you
lol, I wish I did, about the only thing I can think of is a money image with thank you on it instead of numbers, that or maybe a person giving someone a helping hand with a thank you bubble.
BTW, put an entry in, Just put the name of your best friend in a comment and say thank you... she'll be mad if you pick the wrong best friend.... lol.
There is always something like this if you wanted something premade it does however require attribution.
Other wise I will have a play around for you
Ok, idea now, I used to use a program to make word clouds for presentations. That might just work.....
Thanks shai-hulud.
lame.
lol, a one-word comment, that is uncharacteristic of you. I'm I being lame telling him to say thank you to his wife.... lol
hahaha! I was feeling ornery last night, headchange does that to me.
I figured it was your twin or wife posting.... lol, don't you just love all of these theories.
hahaha! oh man I wish I had an assistant or if my wife would be a partner in this but she has nothing to do with steemit, won't touch it with a ten foot pole!
Mine either, thinks I'm wasting my time. I'm like well, it's better than facebook.... lol, I have one connection on my FB account, I only use it to administer a couple business pages.
