📌 No More Bandwidth Issues!! Win A Delegation And Steem On!
Tired of those bandwidth issues? Get engaged and win a 50SP delegation for 8 weeks
Bandwidth Errors
If you’re just starting out on SteemIt, you don’t have a lot of Steem Power. This often results in bandwidth issues. The lower your SP, the less available bandwidth you have, and the bigger the chance that at one point you won’t be able to upvote, post or comment.
You can find the following paragraph about bandwidth in the SteemIt Bluepaper
Under normal circumstances, a user should be out of the ‘danger zone’ if he has 50SP or more...
Delegations
This made me think... What if I could help some users to get out of this ‘danger zone’ by delegating some of my Steem Power to them?
Sounds good, right?!
Now all I had to do was find a way to select the Steemians I would be delegating my bandwidth to.
No need to explain that I only want to spend my SP on users that are willing to progress on SteemIt. The delegation is meant to help the delegees to overcome the bandwidth issues and gather enough SP to stand on their own two feet after the delegation period has ended.
And I think I found a way to find the most determined newcomers...
The Curation And Engagement Leagues
Every Sunday, database wizard @abh12345 publishes his ‘Curation And Delegation Leagues’-post, which gives participants an insight into how they’re performing.
Basically, the Curation League lists the best curators, while the engagement league is ... you guessed it: all about engagement.
You can find out more in last week’s edition of The Curation And Delegation Leagues.
If you’re interested in enrolling, just check the new contest post tomorrow (March 25th) and leave a comment, telling @abh12345 you want to join.
UPDATE:
This weeks post is up and the game is on! You can still join. Leave your name at the bottom and then visit @abh12345’s post for this week and tell him you want in. Here’s the link: https://steemit.com/engagement/@abh12345/2k1qx4-the-curation-and-engagement-leagues-sponsored-by-carlgnash-and-paulag
However, if you’re interested in getting a delegation, read on before you head over there...
Engagement Is King
If you want to grow your account here on SteemIt, you need an audience. And the only way you can grow an audience, is by engaging yourself. Get to know people. Become a part if this awesome community.
‘Now, how do I do that?’, I can hear you ask. There is only one way: comment, comment, and comment some more. Then, reply to all replies you get. I’m talking about (tens of) thousands of characters here.
I never said you would get your delegation for doing nothing, did I?!
Take a look at the top of last week’s Engagement League.
Don’t worry, I don’t expect you to top those numbers. I only want to give you an idea of what we’re doing in the league. And what is perfectly possible.
As you can see, I ended up in 4th place with ‘only’ 306 comments, of which 114 were comments outside of my own blog. I’m talking about 85987 characters of pure fun, ladies and gentlemen. I also gave 429 upvotes to other people, and not a single one to myself (I like my followers to earn curation rewards).
Sometimes I’m so busy commenting and replying, I can’t even find the time to write a post - lol.
All this to make you realize that SteemIt is not just another blogging platform; if you want to progress, you need to engage.
Which brings me to the challenge...
The Challenge
I will be supporting 3 people by delegating 50SP for 2 months. This delegated SP should allow you to post, upvote and comment without running out of bandwidth. It will give you a chance to grow your account without having to worry.
In order to make the most out of the delegated SP, I recommend you to try to make at least one post a day. I’m the first to acknowledge that life gets in the way sometimes, so this is not a requirement to keep your delegation.
Let me tell you what is...
Requirements to get and keep the delegation:
Have 50SP or less
Reply in the comments section below, telling me that you want in
Enter @abh12345’s Engagement League (March 25th - March 31st) and try to get up as high on the list as you can
Stay engaged.
Simple as that.
So, if you’re serious about your SteemIt adventure, this is your time to shine.
Leave your name below, enter @abh12345’s league and spend the next week posting and commenting like a boss.
When the new league results will be posted next Sunday, I will check which 3 contestants have performed best*, and will send them a delegation of 50SP for 8 weeks.
To be eligible to receive the delegation, it should be obvious that you have made a real effort engaging yourself. I reserve the right to not delegate if I don't think any contestant is up for it.

Good post.
If I make this comment a gazillion times on other people’s post, can I make it to the top spot like you did? 😉
It is quite a good post though :P
Maybe if you donit like this:
Good post, boy, what a good post. Really a good post. Did I tell you this was a good post? No? Wel, it’s a good post!
Good, really good!
That might help you climb up the ladder :0D
That is simply too much writing. I don't think I will win that delegation. Ever.
Love what you're doing @simplymike. Great way to help support newbies, encourage engagement, and point out Asher's awesome leagues.
Are you sure we can't simply write good post? How about nice job or interesting post or follow me, I follow you? --perhaps not the best way to get to the top, huh?
I’m afraid not... I would have to mute you, and I truly don’t want to do that - lol 🤪
You won't see any of my charming comments if you mute me! Nooooo! I promise to behave.
i promise, if you promise not to write a lot of those ‘Good post’-comments - lol
I would miss your charming personality :-D
Indeed not the best way to the top!
If you are good with mathematics, you could easily calculate and think of a strategy to make it into the top of the list.
Also read my other comment below here. You do have a very good chance as there is not to much competition 😀
Lol, you ended up before me in the list @beeyou. Seems your ‘good pos’ comments have done the trick anyway 😂
I'm late but I'm going to give it a try anyway since I'm online so much. 😀👍
Great @omitaylor.
Leave a comment on Asher’s post, asking him to add you to the list and you’re in :0)
The leagues are a great way to keep track of your progress. It’s kind of addictive - lol. Even if you don’t win this time, I will probably be hosting a contest like this again soon ;0)
Okay thank you @simplymike. I did that. I was added to the list but I'm not sure if it counts for this week or next. Waiting for him to respond. :)
@abh12345, sir add me to the list.
It will be great if i will get the opportunity.
Waiting for next
Good to see you enter the game, @anupbose.
Ok I have added you to the list :)
This is great @simplymike! Resteemed by Jeff 😉 at #newbieresteemday so more newbies can participate!
Give Jeff a kiss from me <3
😊
What an awesome idea!!! I love this:) In my first few weeks here, I got the dreaded bandwidth message and an acquaintance, @luzcypher explained to me what was going on and gave me 5 steem to keep me going. I was shocked and so happy and it was from that moment that I decided to help others. I'm not yet there to delegate like yourself, but I know I can help in so many other ways.
When I out looking for new folks to help this week, I'm sending them here for sure!
Thanks @simplymike!!
Thanks @lynncoyle.
The more the merrier :0)
I’m happy someone inspired you to help others. We probable wouldn’t be where we are ourselves if we wouldn’t have been helping out other people. Or maybe we would, but we wouldn’t be so happy with our place in the ‘system’ :0)
@lynncoyle1 I am as pleased as you are ! Why enter inbto this contest, you and I also helping others with upvote ( liek crazy ) and comments to gain engagement.
Sure this is a good method to improve newbie like me overall
Lets do it together ya.
Sounds good to me ;)
Waao nice contest dear 😇 Thanks for helping minnows on Steemit.
Thanks @thecrytotrader
I’m doing what I can :0)
Ok time to get engaged! Im gonna hop right in to the league thanks for the opportunity win or lose☺
If you make a good effort to engage, you can’t lose, even if you don’t win the contest. Because the engagement will allow you to make more connections and build new relationships.
I’ll pass your name through to @abh12345 when he publishes his new contest later today, and then it’s ‘game time’.
Thanks for joining.
@xomegax, The new leagues post has been published. This means the game is on ;0)
I suggest you read it to get an idea of the curation league. Than, engage like you have never engaged before...
https://steemit.com/engagement/@abh12345/2k1qx4-the-curation-and-engagement-leagues-sponsored-by-carlgnash-and-paulag
Yep i left a comment gonna start doing some posts and comnents now
Great! I hope to see you up there next week :0)
@xomegax, simply try to comment as much as you can, don’t upvote your own posts( you get a minus score for that) and try to spread your comments. That’s also a great way to get to know more people.
If you have questions, or just want to meet more people and have a chat, feel free to join the #newbieresteemday Discord channel : https://discord.gg/h9WfHrE
Our ‘official’ description is that we’re all just a bunch of misfits trying to help each other and other red fish/minnows to grow.
I wouldn’t be where I am now if it wasn’t for the #newbieresteemday initiative. I’ve a lot of friends there, and we’re having a lot of fun helping eachother move forward.
Feel free to drop by any time
Ah ok sure
Wow great post.
Thanks for sharing
@simplymike
I want in and I have a question as well. How do you count the number of comments that you've made? I know that I can just go to the comments place and count one by one but I'm wondering if there is a automated faster way that you may use? I was interested to do it for myself apart from this contest I'm just too lazy to count comment per comment hahaha.
Thanks ;)
Hi @cnandofer
@abh12345 pulls the comments out of the SteemIt database. I think it’s the only way to see the accurate results.
I’m not sure how he does that, though. I’m not as savvy ;0)
I’ll put your name on the list and pass it on to @abh12345. I’ll let you know when it’s ‘game time’,..
