Greetings dear friends. Hope everyone is very well and healthy by the grace of Almighty Allah. Alhamdulillah, today I am fine too. Today I am here to participate in the Hindwhale Community contest and their topic for this week is How SEC improved engagements on the Steemit platform? This topic is really awesome and I am eager to participate in this contest. So let's start.

What was Steemit like before the SEC?

Talking about the steemit platform before the engagement challenge, I can't say much because when I joined this platform, the engagement challenger was not launched but I didn't get much idea about this platform as a new user. I came to this platform through my friend and he introduced me to a community where I post regularly and I didn't know much about anything outside of that community. I just shared my creativity there.

After working in this community for a few months, I suddenly saw this community shut down, then I got very worried and then I started looking for other communities where I can share my content. And then I see a new update from the Steemit team. I don't remember the time clearly but I have been seeing the steemit engagement challenge since its first season. But to be honest I didn't know much about this SEC then.

But I used to participate in various contests in the community where I used to post regularly. After seeing this new update, curiosity worked in me and when I saw the opportunity to get support for SC01 and SC02, I decided to participate. But after participating in a few it gets quite frustrating when I don't get support and I end up posting one or two post sometimes. And that's how I slowly got involved in the SEC and I still do regularly.

Discuss the changes you noticed in Steemit following SEC.

Of course I noticed a lot of changes after the Steemit Engagement Challenge came out. I believe this is a successful project from steemit team. Of course it is accelerating the steemit platform and will continue to do so in the future. Since the launch of the steemit engagement challenge a curiosity has worked among all users especially when sc01 and sc02 get support. And for which the activity of users on this platform has increased.

Before the engagement challenge, there was very little user-to-user communication. We didn't know much about each other and we all fell behind in terms of support. But since the engagement silence has come, our communication has increased, we appreciate each other for their work and support them, and we learn a lot from their posts that we didn't know in such detail before. We are constantly seeing quality content creators through this engagement challenge whose writing is truly engaging and educational. Also, I think the engagement challenge creates a fun atmosphere on our platform.

How many of the seven weekly challenges can you participate in each week?

I can't say for sure because I like to write about the topic that I like. So every week if there are 7 posts I like that I can answer nicely I try to participate in those. It appears that I have participated in 7 engagement challenges in some weeks and 2 in some weeks.

But to be honest, I am quite busy these days in my real life and at the same time on the steemit platform. In real life I am now involved in my new job so naturally I have to spend time there. Apart from that, I am trying to properly fulfill all the responsibilities that I have on Steemit where I have to spend my time and then I completed my engagement challenge posts. So for which a little less engagement challenge posts is being posted in sometimes.

How does the SEC change your personnel interests and involvement on Steemit?

I think the engagement challenge has served as an important means of increasing our knowledge. It has played a huge role in deepening our thinking and making our content writing creative. Creating content every week on a new topic that really hones our creative writing skills and challenges us to become better writers.Numerous users participate in the engagement challenge every day and everyone writes content from their creative thoughts. And of course we can gain knowledge from their writings and we can get pleasure too from their content.

If I were to introduce my own content writing, I would say that I have noticed a lot of changes in my content creation after participating in the engagement challenge compared to before. In the beginning I used to post mostly on the same topics like drawing or crafting or photography etc which stifled the writer in me. But since I participated in the engagement challenge, there was a lot of interest in writing content on various topics and I was able to bring out my creative thoughts.So I think Steemit engagement challenge plays an important role in increasing our knowledge and writing our content creatively.
