Thanks for the comment @simplymike.

That is why I keep mentioning the other applications. Yes making 4 blog posts a day can be difficult, if not impossible. However, there are other applications that could reach the 3-4 very easily.

1 blog post on Busy or Steemit
1 interesting photo using Steepshot
1 find on Steemhunt
1 link on parley.io that you find interesting

This is an example of a breakdown that could get it there without sacrificing quality (which is subjective anyway).

As for the circle voting, I think that is a great idea, not only for the challenge but long term. All those votes add up over time (along with helping the reputation which is already used on steemhunt.

I am part of the curation trail that @tribesteemup established. Each day I get .001-.004 paid to me from dtube as payout for upvotes there. It isnt a ton but I get it 3,4,5 times a day for votes the curation trail made. In my view, it all adds up over time.
