Featured On Friday's: SBI GIVEAWAY WEEK #8
Hello Steemian Friends,
It's Friday! That means we're back with another Steem Basic Income giveaway! Yes, we are committed to this giveaway; therefore we will ensure this giveaway keeps on going until we finish our liquid STEEM currently in our account.
With 6 Steem left, we're coming closer to the end of this Steem Basic Income shares giveaway! However, we would love to do this again in the near future (once we can get some SBDs converted to Steem at a decent rate). As some of you might know we're giving away SBIs to people that follow us and people that we follow. This is our way of saying 'Thank You' to the Steemit community. This will go on for the next 2 more weeks, so look out for the next 2 Featured On Friday's (not including this one). It all started about two months' and a half ago, when we were curious about SBIs and we gave away our first share to @waybeyondpadthai as she was producing incredible content and on a consistent basis, but we never made a post about it. We gave away 3 shares seven weeks ago to three Steemians that have inspired us and their respected communities on Steemit: @world-travel-pro, @intrepidsurfer and @for91days. We want to give back more to the community!
Giving Back To A Community That Has Provide For Us
Steemit has been a real roller-coaster of a ride, but luckily for us there has been more highs than lows. When we heard that there was a chance to earn cryptocurrency from posting our posts on Steemit, we quickly signed up. Yes, it was one of the reasons that attractive us to the platform, but it wouldn't be possible without the support and community engagement from YOU! We had a challenge that we set a few months' ago about reaching 1,000 followers before a certain date (20th of June) and although we've past the deadline and haven't reached the target, our attitude changed roughly when we gave away our first SBI! We realized that it's not about the numbers. Actually, we became very suspicious of who is following us. About a month and a half ago after posting a post, we instantly received 40 followers! At first, we thought 'Wow!', but we suspected something. Through further investigation into some of the accounts, we found out that they were either created on the 13th of March (exactly) or later. Are these made-up accounts? And why? Who knows?! And due to this finding, we have decided to STOP that challenge as we do not feel like the number of followers reflect the ACTUAL number of our legitimate followers we have. However, we want to stay true to our word of giving back. We have accumulated STEEM that we have not Power Up yet as we were going to give it away if we reached our target of 1,000 followers before the deadline. So, what to do with this STEEM now?
Steem Basic Income Giveaway
We will give away 2 SBI shares each week to ONE RANDOMLY PICKED FOLLOWER and ONE RANDOMLY PICKED FOLLOWING. How will this be done? Using a Contest Winner Picker website, we will put in all our followers and select at random and we will do the same for the people we are following. However, it is not that straight forward. In order for the sponsorship to be successful, the Steemian needs to be quite active on Steemit (posting like 5-7 times a week!). So, if we feel that a person that is not active is selected, we will re-do the draw until we find someone. It is only fair as this is all explained in @steembasicincome's report here. Also, click that link, if you do not know what Steem Basic Income is all about.
After Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5, Week 6 and Week 7 we have 6 STEEM left saved up and we're giving away 2 shares each week, this means this giveaway will happen every Friday for another 3 weeks!
Week 8 Winners
Without further ado, the winners of the Followers category is:
And the winners of the people we are Following category is:
Congrats to @tfame3865 and @heyitshaas! Unfortunately, we do not know @tfame3865, but from his profile, he seems to be quite active writing posts about football, which Sam likes! @heyitshaas is a Steemian we've known for sometime as we followed him quite early on. His blog is a mixture of his two passions: travelling and basketball. During the regular season, he even has a NBA contest going on Steemit. So, watch out and get involved! The transfer of 2 STEEM will be going to @steembasicincome to sponsor both of them.
Here is proof of the transfer to @steembasicincome:
Keep posting away! Steem On!
Until next week!
Stay Classy Steemians!

Hi you Two!
I'm coming by to thank you for your upvotes and to let you know I am leaving for Kuala Lumpur next week. I finally got into discord, but now I will be joining the Malaysian channels if I can figure out which ones to join and how to do it.
I also wrote a minnow tips post for monday red and it has ideas of good tags to post to for good rewards. I was thinking of you for steemiteducation. They have good votes if they like your post, so maybe you can do some and try. The post only needs to be 300 words, and seeing some of what gets picked up tells me that you probably would be.
I saw your dlive payout coming, so keep doing that! Big congrats :)
Take care, and I will still be here - Sharon @fitinfun
Hello Sharon!
We hope you are keeping well! We read some of the more recent Ulogs and just want to say hopefully there is a brighter future in KL and with the Malaysian community. It's quite hard to hear that your final days in Bangkok have been tough...not you or we wanted to happen.
Thank you for your tip and advice for the Minnow post. We shall look into it, however, in that DLive video Sam stated that we will be slowing down/not posting for awhile OR at least infrequently as other matters in life are more pressing (like finishing off a degree!!!). We're not completely disappearing, but we can imagine it might be hard to get back into the swing of things once you stop. It's happened with other platforms or hobbies before.
Should commit to doing a post a day to stay with it, but not enough hours in the day to do so!
Take care of yourself too Sharon and sending you all the luck in the world during this turbulent time - remember you will succeed / you must succeed! Sam and Becca (@travelling-two)
P.s. If you ever come back to Bangkok, we should finally do that meet-up we're been so longing to do!
