Come for the money, stay for the community

I love Steemit!

I love the opportunity I have to read your thoughts as you choose to share them here. I love the silly things we do for one another in the pursuit of Steem or SBD or SP. I love the creativity of people thinking of new ways of creating virtual community. I love that I get to practice my writing skills. I love that something new seems to pop up every other day here on Steemit. I love that I get to share my journey with you. And, of course, I love that the possibility exists that I could even make money out of all of this fun.

In pursuit of community, I want to offer a silly little contest that I hope you will participate in. My previous one is close to paying out and I am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to add a little value to some lucky participant.

come for the money, stay for the community

I want to offer you a small incentive to build some community, hoping the community will cause you to stay. Here are the details of the contest.

---

Contest

1. You upvote this post.
2. You create a blog post with the answers to the three questions in this post.
3. Share the link to that post in the comments of this post.

Your reward

1. I'll upvote every entry (your post) at 100% VP. (Currently valued at $0.15)
2. You can win one of two prizes.
3. You get some exposure.

The prizes

1. Prize no 1: Whoever gets me to smile the widest or raise my eyebrows the highest. This is a very subjective selection. You need to evoke a response. This person will get the following:
   • 2 SBI shares that will guarantee you an upvote for life from @steembasicincome.
   • A 100% upvote from me once a day for seven days. If you do not post every day I will find some of your comments to upvote near the end of the7 day period but you will get 7 upvotes from me.
   • You and one of your recent posts will be highlighted in my post announcing the winner.
2. Prize no 2: A completely random selection of one participant just for fun. My daughter will make this selection blindfolded.
   • 2 SBI shares that will guarantee you an upvote for life from @steembasicincome.

The rules

1. The contest will end when this post pays out.
2. My decision on the winners is final and will be a purely subjective choice based on the strength of the response you evoke from me.
3. I will upvote your post within 7 days of you posting it making sure I have more than 80% VP every time.
4. I will purchase the SBI shares and provide proof when announcing the winner, either in that post or in the comments to that post.
5. I may post answers to the questions myself, just for the fun of it. This post will obviously not be eligible for the prizes.

Easy questions, right? Even if you win nothing, you will have fun and we will all know a little more about you.
