I have not been able to get into the right frame of mind for #untalented 3.0 & 4.0 just yet! The posts for these two upcoming contests are prepare but i have not been able to put them up/out just yet. 

I always want to be fully present, fully engaged with you and entries to these contests, thus, i am hoping that you bear with me, for just a bit longer.

In the meantime, it will be fun still! 

We will do a contest but this one will fall under #untalented-steemit. 

We made an error, when it comes to Untalented Contest Series by not giving this contests a tag identifier, to make entries more easily findable. 

#untalented is a more generic tag for the entire Untalented Curriculum, thus, going forward, we will try to place each contest in its own space e.g for Untalented 4.0, we will used hashtag "untalented-4" as one of the tags, in addition to the more generic "#untalented".

#untalented-steemit: "What Steem Has Come To Mean To Me?"

This is a contest too but one that presents us the opportunity of doing a special dedication to steemit. We are imploring you, to use every level of talent and heart to participate in this one.

• Every participant will win something. "No losers!"
• Relegate all reservations. Entertain freedom! "Flaws allowed!"
• Basically; dig the inner spaces of YOU and speak. "We are genius!"

I feel we should have space for a contest like this once-in-while, to establish within our minds once again, "where we are at", "how far we have come", "how much more growth we have achieved" etc. 

The thing is, we are somewhere now and definitely, not where we used to be, just before steemit.

Re-establishing this within our minds is essential and re-incites gratitude and perhaps, appreciation, among other things. 

Overall, we will have more clarity on what "steemit" has come to mean to us, compared to what it used to mean.

Now, if document this entire experience in a post entry to this contest, there is more we can accomplish as it will no longer be about us, for, we would have found ways to tell the world our thoughts. 

The eventuality from this contest is: "if after analyzing things more closely and you realize with more solid conviction that "steemit" has actually help matters, then why shouldn't the world hear about this too". If steemit has been an actual working medium/tool/way, to amplify our own voice and personal efforts in imparting people so more awesomeness, then why shouldn't others share in using this tool too?

And we don't have to preach it, we simply need to serve the search engines by means of a simple-looking steemit post, thus, kindly join in and participate!

No-one has not earned from steemit. 

If you are thinking: "awww your last post didn't earn much money; go look at how your "comments" are doing!"

Visit https://steemdb.com/@yourusername/authoring?filter=comments!

Regardless of how you look at it, we have all earned something on steemit!

"Steem" is not money; so value even one token of it, for today, people look for just one BTC and its no longer there.

Too, it is not only SBD/steem that we mine, while on steemit; there have been a ton of other things that we have mined along the way and all these things, down the road, translate into earning! 

Even the "learning", on its own, is the ultimate Earning!

We also mine our mind! Note that, the entire piece to our "success" puzzle, that we been seeking for ages, can have been there in our mind as redundant information, all along.

• Yes, as a result of a "steemit journey", some have entered new routes; "routes they never new existed or never imagined they could take"; even new fields of studies! 
• Some have found on steemit for free, knowledge that they have paid for.
• Our visions may also have expanded drastically as we see each day, the full potential of steem. 
• Some have a had a free sandbox to play their ideas upon, and rehearse these ideas, into full blown action in the real world.

Yes @zappl @utopian.io @steemgigs all started out on steemit, like you and me, creating content!

We have all certainly earned!

• Some have won from contests too. Some have been paid, for performing a service e.g a steemgig; all without hassle. 
• Some have been connected to opportunities, even outside of steemit.
• etc

One more thing that's a reward in itself: "Everyone has given!" Yes, every steemian at this point, rich or not-so-rich, has managed to give away gifts in someway e.g a vote, valuable comment etc; something that may have been harder to accomplish in the past!

By my standards, every steemian is rich! And if, it is not realized at the moment, it is because it will be more obvious in the future!

I am grateful to have found steemit; many haven't!

Let me pause.

Contest Details Proper

For this contest, there are no barriers to entry. I do implore every steemian to participate, regardless of language or location.

1. Participate using #untalented-steemit as one of your tags. You can also add #untalented!
2. Start by making a video of you (upload to YouTube), telling us "what steemit has come to mean to you!" (you can also add reasons, why you are grateful; some evidence that you have earned using steemit and even actually cashed out (optional); why you think the world should know about steemit etc)
3. Then, make a transcription of your video post, into a full-blown steemit post but if you are can't do a verbatim transcription, just do a summary of it! 
4. Note: your video and post can be in any language!
5. Note: If you are a bit shy, you can use an app. like fun apps e.g face swapping or effects etc.

See these videos below for additional inspiration but be YOU, overall!

Basically, we want to serve all the search engines! YouTube is own by google, so we want to serve YouTube too! 

Imagine, 500 such posts and videos, organically served to the search engines, with 500 steemians speaking about "steemit" in their true, unadulterated self, even in an #untalented fashion and what it can do as "a voice"!

"No loss!" 

As we participate, we leave one more potential out there, on our behalf, that can open us to opportunities, either from a steemian or steemit INC; who knows! You also leave something (a helping hand) out for our current generation, who may be on the brink of shatter; who knows!

Finally, you leave a piece of you (legacy etc) once again, out there, for generations yet unborn; indicating that "we were here", and while they were not yet in existence, you cared about them!

We so care!

Conclusion

Don't forget to share the YouTube videos or entire post URL to other social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter etc
