Weekly Report as Steem Representative, 29 July 2024

^{Week 71!}

My fellow Steemians

The last couple of days were a nightmare for me, as I experienced problems with my laptop. Yip, again! At least I could share my husband’s laptop with him when he was at home, and I could perform my duties as admin on Steem For Ladies. It is only my own blog that is lagging behind.

I am not complaining, and I am no longer frustrated, as I got it back this morning and am in full swing working again.

It still blows my mind how Steemians get it right to perform Steemit tasks from their mobile phones, and I am not only referring to posting but also to completing schedules, etc.

As for the weekly feedback… here we go!

Steem For Ladies

Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to one of our moderators, @shiftitamanna, this week due to other Steemit responsibilities and commitments. We wish her all the best for her new venture as wife and also for her Steemit journey.

Week 4 of Engagement Season 19 has started, and the team is awaiting the posts of our fellow Steemians.

My duties:

1. Curation and verification of posts on my day of duty as well as filling in on the days of others
2. Educating and monitoring 7 moderators
3. Validating MOD verifications
4. Verifying new members
5. Booming posts submissions and community voting
6. Taking care of community notifications and comments
7. Writing of 4 community posts
8. Monitoring and running of community contests
9. Lending a helping hand to members of the community
10. Approval of moderator contests

General

A helping hand was lent to four Steemians on WhatsApp and Discord, and various others via the platform.

▸Africa:

My main focus is still on Africa.
Due to the problems I’ve experienced, we had to delay the start of "How to Be Unique in 7 Days".
Unfortunately, things don’t always go according to plan, but in the end, victory is sweet!

▸Moderators:

Assistance was given to one moderator.

▸Curators:

Assistance was given by helping to put teams together.

Issues encountered:

For the last two weeks, I have reported on the lack of engagement and how it is bugging me. I decided to do a bit of testing.

I invited ten Steemians who took part in Week 3 of SEC19 to engage with the posts of their fellow Steemians. Of the ten, only two of them took up the challenge.

Best of all, I’ve seen numerous posts where there was engagement but no comment in return from the author.

My friends, engagement not only helps with your Steemit growth, but it also strengthens your relationship with your fellow Steemians. It is one of the main key factors on Steemit. Besides, the road to being nominated as a winner in the engagement challenges will be so much more uphill.

I do hope to see you all engage more this week.

See you next week!
