RE: Contest Alerts: Active Contest List on 21st July 2021 – Win 1900+ STEEM
Sure I will.. Since your initiative is not a contest, I'm not sure how I can help you to promote this but I will try to do something. If you have any idea please propose.
At this stage, I am just working on the protocol, so there isn't anything specific that you need to do. The first person who will be sponsored through this process started posting today.

If you could individually give her encouragement and guidance, it would be appreciated. I know how to create a post that will earn $0.02. You know how to create a post that will earn $1.66 (at the time I write this). In Kazakhstan the average wage is $18.17 USD per day, and the minimum wage is $2.25 per day. I am targeting a nice round figure of 10 Steem per day (roughly two of your posts).
Once she can maintain that level by herself, the mentors can step back and move on to the next victim ... er ... contestant ... er ... Steemian.
The mechanism that I am trying to create is not like a voting bot. I am trying to create something that will put the people need it with the people who know how to do it.
How do you select this person? what is the mechanism of that?
For this first case, it was someone who @milakz is trying to get involved. In retrospect, she was the wrong choice. The first criteria should be a person willing to post each day. In the early days of computers, one used to design viruses to participate in a game. Each virus would take place in the memory of a computer and take over adjoining memory registers. The surviving virus was the winner. I am trying to create that virus in the real world.
I didn't select @saule.sara; I selected @milakz. The value of a currency has nothing to do with what it is made of but the confidence that people place on it. @milakz owns a store called Steem Mart. It is a place that you can exchange food for Steem. If there was a Steem Mart in your neighbourhood, would you buy food there?
In Canada, there is a retail chain - Canadian Tire Stores - that initially had its own reward points: Canadian Tire Money. It is on par with the Canadian Dollar. They have expanded the currency and is now called Valued points, and can now be used in different stores still at par. If Steem Mart can be made a success (it will take about 20 Steemians consistently buying from her shop), neighbourhood grocers can franchise the concept anywhere there is a hotbed of Steemians.
Although I have had multiple positive responses to the concept, the apathy of the participants makes me believe I need to rethink the process. Check my posts in a couple of days if you are interested in the outcome.
Think about the selection process first and then how long the community going to support he or she. Also, what is expected from the selected person. If the person gets support and vanished from next day whole concept will be a failure.
Success to the project!
