DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECTS, AND HOW IT MEET ONE OR MORE OF THE CRITERIA.

Since I have Passion for promoting steemit, I want to run a one month campaign in higher institutions in Uyo, Nigeria. This campaign will attracts new people to join steemit.

A BRIEF BUSINESS PLAN FOR THE PROJECTS - THE COSTS INVOLVED IN SETTING UP AND RUNNING, AND HOW IT WILL BECOME SELF-SUSTAINING.

This campaign will run for one month. There are so many institutions I will like to go, like about 3 differents schools. This will not only attracts students but lecturers, workers and even parents to join steemit.

Why I choose school;

• Because students are always bond to their smart phones and electronic devices, and they are into different social media.

• In among students, I will find bloggers, writers, artist, graphics designers and more in which they will be of help here in this platform. They will share with us here their talents and take steemit to the neat level and beyond.

For me to carry out this projects effectively, I will
need this things

• Banner
• Flyers
• T-shirts
• Transportation
• Refreshment

HOW THIS THINGS WILL BE USED;

• Banner will be needed to advertise steemit. Also to attracts passer by. I will need just 1 banner and the cost is 80steem

• Flyers will be shared, to enable them know basic things about steemit. Flyers will also extend the advertisement of steemit to people we have not met. I will need 500 pieces of flyers and it cost 100steem

• T-shirts will be needed to share for those who signed up, to encourage them and also to fellow steemians who will be interested in joining the campaign. T-shirts is a means of promoting steemit by attracting people us. I will need 50 pieces of t-shirts and its cost 700 steem.

• I will also need means of transportation to different schools for the campaign.
  Transportation cost will be 300steem

• In each school, I will always run a seminar presentation. Educating students on steemit. And on each cases refreshment will be needed which will depend on the number of students presents in the serminar location.
  This will cost about 300steem

Please note; all this prices is calculated with steem at 230 (NGN)
Before now, I've already discuss with our country representative, @ngoenyi. She has already designed flyers so this will cut the cost of paying a graphics designer to design again, so I will only print out the flyers.
Also she already have a training center where students will be directed to so as to answers all their questions. She promised to support me carry out this projects successfully.

HOW THE DELEGATION AND SUPPORT FROM THE STEEM ENTREPRENEUR FUND WILL HELP MY PROJECTS.

Delegating about 2000SP will be of great help to me to carry out this my projects successfully. With 2000SP my voting power will increased, which i will use to upvote my recruit to encourage them, i will also earn curation reward which will support me go on with my project.

Thank you so much @pennsif for granting me the opportunity, looking forward to hear from you soon.
