Hluboká Castle - Czechia + @czechglobalhosts and Contests discussion

I was driving from Cesky Krumlov to Prague and decided to hit a few castles this was the first one not too far away from Cesky Krumlov.

@CzechGlobalHosts

I think more companies and tourism related companies in particular should take advantage of Steem... i think he's very smart for being on steem and I love it and want to support him.

I was for sure thinking of Thomas and his posts and calls for pictures of Czechia when I was driving through the country. Assuming he'd love seeing all the sites I photographed.

QUESTIONS:
But here's my questions... if anyone has a really solid grasp of how he does his contests let me know because to be honest I went over there and I just don't get it and it seems there's a lot of moving parts that would take some time to get. I'm fine not doing the contests, I don't need the money but it's fun to do contests on steem. But in the end I'm fine just posting the pictures just because I want to share and hopefully that still makes him and other Europeans happy seeing all the sites.

But I do enjoy contests as someone who runs @photogames (which will start back up soon now that i'm back from europe)

When I first started I would do a bunch of contests but now helping run @peakmonsters and @steempeak has made me a bit more scattered on my posting. Maybe in that time his posts and other contests have been harder to understand and sometimes for me to remember.

For example above is a picture i took last week ... where would it go? There's tons of posts over on the account. Do i wait for Europe contest? Do I submit to Czech post? Is there a Czech post every day? Is there a cut off? When is the cut off? How do I know they've already passed? And what is the reward for the effort... I seem to be uncertain about that.

I know that if you dig into something long enough you can probably figure it out... but I think my point is sometimes people just aren't gonna be willing to dig much unless they understand they understand and feel the reward is worth the effort. I mean I suppose even https://steempeak.com faces that as people don't know that the reward is worth their effort to switch. And that's our job to present that info.

EDITING OLD POSTS

SIDE NOTE: Being able to edit old posts (past 7 days) really helped @photogames be able to notify them that a contest was over... I would change the title of the post even.

STEEMPEAK CASE STUDY

However this all may be a really great case study to figure out how https://steempeak.com can help.

What can we do to help accounts present their message and clarify things for their followers?

I think I have some solid solutions for Contests however this may take some time to get implemented with our time constraints and other planned features on @steempeak. (There's just not enough @asgarth to go around)
I for sure would love to see them as they'd also help @photogames... though i do hope Photogames is pretty simple most of the time.

Some of the issues I want to help solve are:

1. Helping users understand quickly and easily what's expected of them
2. Help users understand quickly and easily what they may benefit.
3. Help users find quickly and easily contests that may appeal to them.

ABOUT

I think the best thing @steempeak can solve quickest is creating some sort of About page ... and a place where a user can give a quick run down of what their account is all about and how to jump into interacting specially if they're running a contests or have certain patterns of posts they can help people recognize. More or less help content consumers come to an account and hit the ground running.

CONTENT CATEGORIZATION

Maybe the other idea we've tossed around is the ability to help sub-divide the content people do... in @czechglobalhosts case this is really helpful as they do lots of posts every day and have certain posts that some people are more interested in than others.

Again SteemPeak has lots of features to work on but this was a nice case study to think about. As always love to hear your thoughts.
