Delegations: What I Am Doing & What My 2018 Plans Are
The Golden Ambassadors
When I first received SP delegations from @fulltimegeek to be one of his 50 Stewards Of Gondor, I never thought I would be in the position to be able to delegate my own SP to other steemians and continue the domino effect of spreading steemit love and touching so many people; helping advance their reputation, giving others the inspiration and the boost to flourish or having the capability to bring such a happiness to others.
A few weeks ago, I started my first, second and third delegation process and about ten days ago, I finally did it. I delegated to the first Golden Ambassador. Now I have three and I have plans to bring more people on board. (See below to see what I am planning in 2018)
I am currently working towards the process of adding more steemians to my Golden Ambassadors.
By process I mean the following:
- Does the steemian make regular posts?
- Are these posts good quality with original content?
- Does this steemian belong to the homesteading/gardening community that I am attempting to uplift into the steemit visibility of trending of hot topics?
- Does this steemian comment and reply daily? To their own posts? What about others' comments?
- What is the interaction among this steemian with the steemit community as a whole?
- Is this steemian active on Discord?
- Does this steemian go out of his or her way to help others?

Coming In Early 2018
Stewards Of Gondor
As I have said before, becoming an @fulltimegeek SOG has been a life changing event; not only in my steemit life but in my real life. Being able to help others on steemit has been the most gratifying and soul-satisfying experience I could have ever experienced.
Having the capability to give back or pay it forward in so many ways has been one of the most rewarding adventures to date on steemit. I spend countless hours thinking of new ways to share the SP, how to bring others the joy I have come to appreciate and how I can lift up more dedicated and committed steemians.
The words thank you just never seem to be enough when acknowledging @fulltimegeek for his confidence in me and the honor he has bestowed me with as an SOG.
2018 Future Plans
I have been considering what I will be doing in 2018 with either my delegations from @fulltimegeek and also what I plan on continuing to do with delegating my own SP.
- I am hoping to be able to add one new Golden Ambassador every month through 2018. Since I have three so far, I have nine more to add and eleven months to build my SP so I can delegate more. By December 2018, I want to have a dozen Golden Ambassadors. Kind of scary, but I believe realistic.
- I will be continuing my Embracing A Steemian every week as well as my new venture of Fostering A Gardener every week as well.
- I have been considering another initiative similar to the Embracing and Fostering but need to sort out the requirements and which community and group to focus on.
- I had approached @davemccoy about an initiative he and @mudcat36 started called newbieresteemday and have been offering tips, suggestions and answering questions for incoming steemians who need and are asking for guidance. He calls my Q&A "Dear Dawne".
- I want to have a monthly giveaway or contest geared in the homesteading and gardening communities. Currently with @beatitudes8, we host a weekly seed exchange giveaway for homesteadersonline community members. Here is his most recent giveaway information post. But I will be coming up with some more unusual ideas in the coming weeks.
- I have done Secret Santa, A Clucky New Year and currently the January into February Thaw with plans of a new one starting next week for Valentine's Day. Keep an eye out for the post coming next week.
I'm sure I have missed something in this post, but this is about where I am at. I am looking forward to a GREAT 2018 and continuing to grow and advance on steemit; all the while bringing more people on board as we triumph in the upcoming months.
Wonderful choices! Congrats to @karenfoster, @freedompoint, and @beatitudes8! I look forward to reading more from all of them.
Thank YOU Dawne for all of your hard work and promotion of the homesteading community on Steemit! I really don't know how you do it all!
I agree! <3 @goldendawne is busy!! So many excellent ideas and always there to answer questions.
Thank you @mtnmeadowmama
@goldendawne is busy busy busy.
Thank you, @mtnmeadowmamma
The Engagement Goddess takes it up a notch with delegations!
You are what Stellabelle says having the abundance gene that as you got a delegation from SOG you in turn empower other people in your own way.
It is when you pay it forward and help other people and communities grow that Steemit and everyone else becomes more successful.
We hope that everyone becomes like you and make Steemit a great community.
She is such an inspiration!
Thank you! You always have such encouraging comments! I really appreciate it!
Congratulations to the 3 delegates and thank you @goldendawne for the details and your vision for the whole of 2018.
I recently got to interact with @davemccoy and got to know about the program you mentioned, the resteeming activity. It's nice to know different people are coming up with different ideas and inspires others.
My best wishes for achieving your goals of 2018. Good day :)
Thank you! And yes, I have been chatting with @davemccoy for a couple of weeks now. It is a good initiative and program they have set up and I am enjoying helping the new steemians.
Yes, I could see the support they are getting in and I have volunteered myself to support and would like to join you guys. :)
Thanks and good day.
wow, thanks for sharing this. I am not a farmer, but you are giving me a reason to venture into agriculture.
It's amazing now much better the food taste and how much pride you take in vegetables. fruit or herbs that you've grown yourself!
You are doing an amazing job. Thank you for all you r doing for us homesteaders. You have been a huge encouragement
Thank you! I am hoping with the gardening season coming soon for most of us that the homesteading and gardening community will really take off in the next few months.
Its going to be a wonderful 2018 for us all!
I agree! Onward and upward!
You have some great goals! I'm sure you are excited!
Also, I couldn't help but notice one of your ambassadors...I think it's @freedompoint? He's...he's just so handsome! Do you think you could introduce us?!
Well, if you're into that kind of Yeti thing.. I suppose I can get you two hooked up!
Great!😍😂
It is great what you are doing!! Thanks so much for all the hard work you put into Homesteaders Online and the Steemit platform in general.
Keep up the great work. Love following what you are doing!
Thank you again for the invite to join Homesteaders Online.
Thank you! Now that I have my goals in writing, I can start implementing them.
I can foresee 2018 being a very productive and rewarding year!
@goldendawne...you rain love upon your steemit garden, it mixes with your knowledge to become usable nutrients for those of us you nurture. We are thriving here on steem and in our real lives...and you get much-deserved credit for your inputs.
Goals are good things! May you succeed in accomplishing them, and reap the benefits of your dedicated selfless efforts.
Hugs Lady!
Thank you! I am a firm believer in writing goals down. Seeing them in black and white really helps you stay focused.
What you are doing is awesome! Keep up the good work. This is a good thing and you have helped the homesteading community on Steemit more than you really know.
