Hello everyone, today i will be mostly talking about building up the SPinvest Club into what it should be and what my vision for it was when launching SPinvest. It's a long post so go and get your a hot drink before you start. In this post, we will be looking at the different changes that will be happening over the next few weeks as we start to turn the SPinvest club around. Focus for the past 4-5 months has been directly on issuing and selling new SPI tokens into circulation. We are going to move that focus toward building an active community within the clubs confirmed members and spreading the word of SPinvest far and wide among all of our followers. With the recent launch of Steemit communities now is the perfect time for us to get our shit together and start to work as a club toward goals and growth.

Why the sudden change?

Why not? Justin Sun has bought Steemit Inc and users are uncertain what to do with their STEEM/SP holdings. As a result, SPinvest has not been issuing new tokens and it seems to be an ideal time to focus on confirmed club members that are already invested. It's time better spent than trying to think of ways to issue more tokens and something we should have been doing from day 1.

What's gonna change?

A few things will change and i don't have all the answers now. This post is to more to let you guys that change is coming and get the ball rolling. When i think of an investment club i think of a group people that are active within the club, interact with each other, trust each other, do side deals between themselves and all share the common goal of growing SPinvest's earnings and fund holdings. I personally could have done a better job up until now and pushed this idea further but better late than never they say. The list of things below will happen to get everything moving along faster. Individual things can be tweeted and changed after everything is up and running,

The club membership list
The SPinvest club membership list will be held and maintained through the SPinvest steemit communities hub from now on. Each confirmed club member will be given the role of 'member' and can confirm by checking here to view the list. Holding the club membership list on the steemit communites also lets mod accounts update community roles. This means that @silverstakeruk, @jk6276, @underground and @conradsuperb can all confirm club members into the SPinvest club. You can see below that spinvest-leo is a mod account within the community and that jk6276 is a confirmed member.

Here's the current SPinvest Club membership list. It's not very tidy but if your a confirmed SPinvest club member, you will have been tagged to this post. We currently have 31 club members over 32 accounts with JK having both his personal and Leo account confirmed. JK runs the Leo tribe sub-account for SPinvest so i believe this is justified. He has club voting rights only from his personal account. I would like to see this number between 50 and 100 by year-end and it is doable even in today's climate if the work is put in. If you are a confirmed member and do not see your username, please comment below it the URL to your confirmation post and i will get you updated.

When posting about SPinvest
Going forward all posts uploaded by SPinvest will be posted to the SPinvest communities hub found here, please make sure to post within the SPinvest community as well as use the @spinvest tag for double exposure to both the community page and steemit. Earnings, holding, club voting and important informational posts will be pinned within the community page and updated weekly to keep everything fresh.

Getting people to post within the SPinvest community page will be hard as there is no real incentive. The obvious thing to do is introduce an upvoting bot that upvotes all the posts uploaded within the SPinvest communities page. Upvoting bots encourage tag use and our goal should be content. I would rather think of different ways to incentivize members to post within the community page by running contests to include writing on a subject, researching an investment, brainstorming idea's, SPinvest banner design, take picture contests and about a million other ideas. We can fire lots of these types of contests out and make the prizes small but big enough to get people taking part. This will drive more eyes toward SPinvest as contest posts grow followings of users that might convert into club members.

Club curation trail
I personally think that we should make it mandatory for confirmed club members to join a Club curation trail were everyone upvote's everyone else's posts. I understand this will not be to everyone's liking but as a club, we should be supporting each other and helping to grow our personal accounts as well as SPI token holdings. Bigger post payouts for club members means more STEEM for club members to buy SPI tokens. There will be a club vote about this to decide the conditions coming soon.

SPI Beneficiaries Payout increase
SPI beneficiary payments are changing from fortnightly to every Friday. People that use the SPI beneficiary service and send a percentage of their post payouts to @spi-payments will receive a 10% bonus on their payments as a sort of compensation for tribe tokens. This is a safe bonus and incentive to offer as people that try to exploit it are limited to a max profit of 10% of their post payouts. The spi-payments account receives tribe tokens that are currently not accounted for now. These passive earnings will cover the 10% required to offer this. There is still a lot of potentials for this service to provide a good source of growth for us.

Voting in Club Moderators
We need a few people to step up and take on the role of club moderator. 2-3 would be ideal with the purpose of having input into how SPinvest is running and spread control of the project out a little. Just recently on the news of Justin Sun buying Steemit Inc, i pulled the SE buyback wall and a few people were not happy. If we had other moderators in place, it could have been talked about and voted on very quickly maybe ending with a better result. Moderators would hold a semi-active role as they would not be required to actively post content but would be required to attend a weekly/fortnightly mod meeting on Discord. A SPinvest moderator would also be required to be up to date with all the ins and out of SPinvest, it's partnership agreement and has a decent monitory/investment/crypto knowledge.

Having gone through this process before, i think the best way to approach this is to use what i have self-named the voting sandwich. This is when we hold 2 votes and produce content to get a result. The first club vote is when each club member nominates 2 other club members that they think would make good moderators and be an asset to the SPinvest club. The results will be posted and those that are voted on the most can either accept are decline the chance to go to the next vote. Not everyone that gets voted on a lot will have the time to commit so this needs to thought of. We pick the top 5 that are available and let each nominee produce a post to explain why they would make a good SPinvest moderator. This is the content for the voting sandwich and this drives club member interaction and gets people more interested. To finish off, we do the final second vote were each club member votes on 1 of the 5 nominees and the top voted 2-3 will become moderators. The actual club voting might change are be tweeted

Hosting Steemit's largest Crypto Raffles
This will get the name of SPinvest out there, offer greats prizes and can add some much-needed SP to the SPinvest balance once are twice a year if successful. The idea is one i have stolen from another community. As i helped to host these raffles for the other community, i feel i can use the idea and don't think anyone will care :)

To start off and get this out of the way, all prizes will be donations from club members and the success of the raffle will be dependent on club members generosity and effort put in. We don't get results with no effort. Donations can be anything from a batch of SPI tokens, $5 of BTC, steem monsters cards, tribes tokens, whatever is crypto-related. Each donation is its own prize and each prize gets its own draw. So if there are 20 donations made, we draw 20 numbers. We will sell tickets for the raffle at 1 STEEM each and all monies collected from ticket sales will be powered up to the SPinvest SP balance.

This provides SPinvest with a pure profit project that is dependent on club members for 2 things. Firstly, we need donations to be decent and secondly, we need to as individuals in a club promote from our personal accounts to drive ticket sales. Both of these steps are essential to having a successful raffle. Donating a prize is the easy part, after that, we need to write posts and sell tickets, really get every STEEM we can from it and do it as a club together. The results can be awesome, believe me.

The new SPinvest Royalty token
This will be SPinvests second token and is aimed toward producing a monthly royalty payment for token holders while also acting as an experiment for the future SPI dividend plans. Each SPinvest Royalty token will cost 100 STEEM and carry a value of 100 SPI tokens. Monthly royalty payments will be 1% providing an ROI of 12% per year with payments made in the form of SPI tokens which we all know to earn a target of 20% per year. WIN/WIN. The SPinvest Royalty token will be launched soon and limited to 50 tokens on the first issue. Tokens sales will last until 50 are issued are the selling window closes on the 31st of March.

The first SPinvest Royalty token has already been issued to @gillianpearce for winning the bonus chest in The Great SPinvest Treasure Hunt. It's the prize that keeps giving.

New SPI token distribution plan is needed
Looking into the future, selling 1 million SPI token for 1 STEEM each is looking very impossible in the current climate. We need to come together and decide on a new direction were we can cap the amount of SPI tokens to be sold and use the rest to provide dividend payments using a POH (proof of holding) method, same as the new Royalty token. This means each person that holds SPI tokens receives payment, no staking are other action required.

In an example, we could cap SPI token token sales at 500,000. This would provide us with roughly a 2000-2500 STEEM weekly income for off-platform investments based on earning 400-500 STEEM a week with the almost 100k SP we have now. The last 500,000 tokens would be issued through dividend payments which could take up to 4.5- 5 years based on a yearly ROI of 20%. After the last 500,000 are issued through dividends, there is no more SPI token left to issue and all growth will be reflected in the token price itself.

This is a very rough example to keep it simple. I would think a lower selling cap and longer dividend payment time would be better suited long term for us. We could do flash sales every 3-6 months while dividends are being paid out. Again there are a lot of options. This is another club vote that is required and something that we can post about inside the SPinvest communities page to share our views and ideas.

Making Club voting easier
Club voting over the next few months will likely be more than 1 per week as we currently do it. Instead, club votes might last 3 days, we might use something like dpoll are host them from the discord server. We have a lot options to make the voting process easier and a communities page to pin them to. Currently, @conradsuperb is producing and moderating the club voting posts. We can and will make the whole process easier for both conradsuperb and club members. Club voting is something that has not seen any real progress and there is room for improvement.

Free SPinvest Lotto
SPinvest will launch it's free daily lotto soon. It's a dead-simple winner takes all lottery. Each person gets one 1 free ticket that consists of 5 numbers between 0 and 9. Each ticket needs to be confirmed each day with an upvote on the newest daily lotto post. SPinvest will fund a 500 STEEM prize to the first person that can match all 5 numbers aDd has voted the last daily lotto post.

• Pick 5 numbers between 0-9
• Set @spi-contests to auto upvote
  (YOUR IN)
• Watch the daily draw posts
• Wait for your numbers to come

There will be an option for people to buy a capped amount of extra tickets for STEEM but the focus is on getting as many free tickets out there as we can. You might be thinking, what's the point in doing this and giving away 500 STEEM. Let me tell you

Running a daily contest/lotto can be very profitable in terms of post payouts if done correclty and consistently. This lottery requires ticket holders to upvote each daily lotto post within 24 hours of it being uploaded to ensure they win if their numbers come out. This can set up very simply with an auto voting service like steemauto. If we give away 500 free tickets, we might get 200-300 upvotes every day on the daily lotto post. All of these small upvotes will attract whales and curation trials. It's a long process that will take months and years to build up but 95% of the time, when someone sets you up on an auto voter, you've got that person for as good as forever. This will provide SPinvest with a consistent income that only increases over time. This will take 5-10 mins per day to maintain and the yields in 6-12 months will be awesome. More details coming in a post soon.

When will all this change happen?

I would set a time target on all of the above to be either be completed are actively in progress by the end of March. Picking and deciding a new distribution plan and SPinvest moderators will take 3-4 weeks and setting up and hosting a big raffle will take 6-8 weeks. It will take months of building bonds and relationships with each other before it all runs smoothly and we will reap of the rewards of our labour.

This is when we are going to find out who are club members and who are confirmed members. There will be work involved, you will need to be generous sometimes and your input will be required but the results can be amazing. Incentives will be introduced at some stage but we are taking it one step at a time and NFT reward tokens will be next-level stuff that is planned for a later time.
The "To-do list" looks like this.

• Club membership list moved to communities page - DONE
• Promoting the use of the SPinvest communities page with contests - NOT STARTED
• Mandatory club curation trail - TO BE VOTED
• Increasing SPI beneficiary payouts by 10% - DONE

Buy SPI tokens directly from @spinvest. Each token is currently priced at 1.00 STEEM and you can send any amount directly to @spinvest and i will issue you SPI tokens to 2 decimal places for the value of STEEM to send. All tokens bought directly will be sent to investors SE wallets within 24 hours but most likely much sooner.
