Featured On Friday's: SBI GIVEAWAY WEEK #9

travelling-two (61)in #steembasicincome • 6 years ago

Hello Steemian Friends,

It's a public holiday in Thailand today, but it's also Friday! That means we're back with another Steem Basic Income giveaway! This is the penultimate giveaway before a break in giving SBIs away.

With 4 Steem left, we only have today and next week left to give Steem Basic Income shares away! 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. So look out for the final SBI giveaway in next week's Featured On Friday's. 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 eight 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, Week 7 and Week 8, we have 4 STEEM left saved up and we're giving away 2 shares each week, this means this giveaway will happen once more after today!

Congrats to @rebeccaontheroof and @stresskiller! We know of @rebeccaontheroof as she is a keen traveller like us and she is a member of the 'Steemit Travellers' group on Discord. She often writes about her travels in her native language, German. @stresskiller is a Steemian we started following at the beginning of our time on Steemit as we noticed the photography community was quite big on here. @stresskiller stood out as his macrophotography of flowers and nature were a big hit with Becca who loves these type of photos. Thank you for being a part of the community! 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!
