Introduction

We are delighted to announce yet another interesting project called SteemAlive Engagment League (SEL). Just like our other projects, we hope this project will bring more value to the community and improve the quality of posts published. What is SEL and how do we hope to make this project run

SteemAlive Engagement League(SEL) - What is it?

Engagement in a community is very very important. Engagement simply means interacting with a published content - in this case a post. So when we talk about engagement, we are talking about users reading other members posts and creating meaningful interaction through comments. A great article is usually not so great if others do not see it as valuable. And when a published post is valuable, we show this by engaging or interacting with it. Engagement goes beyond just making a comment, it usually involves continued conversation.

3 Reasons to Engagement with a post

There are many reasons why you should engage with other peoples posts meaningfully. Here are just three of them.

• Appreciate the Author: If you make a great article and no one comments on it, how do you feel. On the other hand, if you make a post and returns in a short time to see plenty comments on it, you feel happy. Making a great article takes time and effort on the part of the author. One great way to appreciate those efforts is by making a meaning comment or two.

• Creates Connections: Engagement is a form of communication. Great relationships usually start with a harmless hi. So when we engage with other people's posts, we are creating great connections. A we communicate with people, it becomes easy to bond with them. And before long, friendships can be form between the interacting parties. Thats another reason to engage with others.

• Gets Rewarded: The rewards of engaging with others are many and not few. For one thing, the person whose content we interacted with, will want to return the favor. This is especially the case here on steemit where we do social blogging. Additionally, engaging comments can receive votes, which are some form of rewards too. And through SEL, we want to reward engaging members in more ways than usual.

How Will SEL run?

SEL will be a permanent feature of our community. Participants will try to always make meaningful comments on member posts. Not just a comment, but they need to interact with a post by making more than one comment if possible. Only meaningful comments will be counted.

At the beginning of the week (Monday), each participant will make a SEL tracker post that will contiinually be updated with username of posts commented on and the comment links. By weekend (Saturday evening), the totals of all comments will be done in the same post by the user. Then our admin will check all the links and make sure they are quality comments.

We will then make the week's winners post and give prizes for that week. The last week of the Month will see us award a grand Prize for the overall winner for the month. We will also create a compensation prize for those that did not make it to the top positions.

The Prize for SEL winners

1. We will distribute some tokens to the weekly and Monthly winners. There will be compensation for other participants
2. We will prioritize participants posts for community trail votes.
3. We will prioritize participants posts for any Steemit community support for the month.

How to join SEL

1. Drop a comment on this post to indicate your willingness to join. You must be a verified member of SteemALive community.
2. If you are in club5050, that will be an advantage.
3. We will label you SELP once you pass the participation requirements

Comment Styles that will not be part of SEL

Very short comments wont be considered as part of this project. All particpants should avoid the following comment styles.

• Nice Picture
• Keep it up
• You had a great day
• Enjoy my friend
• Great post
• Lovely article
• Thank for this idea

Note: A great comment is neither painfully short or unnecessarily too long. To make a great comment, you can reply a specific thing said in a post, ask a question, raise an object, propose a solution, give an idea, etc.

SEAL leadership

We have many members of this community that have show outstanding commitment to engagement them. We will appoint them into positions to help us run SEL effectively. While the community admin will still oversee this and many other projects, these two would be the SEL leaders because they have been outstanding in engagement. They are:

• @benson6 - SEL President
• @patience90 - SEL Vice President

These two can indicate through comments on this post if they will accept or decline the positions. We will communicate with them on how they will handle their assignments

Conclusion

We want to see greater engagement in community member posts. We want to encourage more engagement. Like many of our projects, we hope that SEL will bring more value to the quality posts made by our members. We really appreciate all our members that work so hard in supporting our projects. Lets support SEL and make it fun and rewarding.

SEL will officially kick off on Monday, 8th November, 2021.
