Weekly Update 11

Another Great Week, New Large Delegation Plus 645 More Leased SP!

source

Week 11 was an awesome week, and we set a record for SP with 4600. To start off, we finally got filled on our large SP order but we had to move it to 13 weeks (instead of 20 weeks) to get filled. The good news is we got 645 SP instead of 445 SP due to the shorter duration. The goal for the week was to be between 4500 and 4800 sometime this week, and we achieved it with some dry powder to spare! Since it took so long in the week to get the fill, we still have 63 spds not spent yet (counting this weeks payout) which will be added to this weeks order! Plus, even with the wicked drop in steem this week, our vote value is still throwing off $0.18 per post per steward, which isn't bad as we have more leases we have bids in for!

On the delegation front, we received another large 250 SP delegation from @themarkymark which brings his total to 500 SP, and I want to note this is a free delegation and he is not receiving anything, just helping to support his friend @fulltimegeek. So thank you from us all @themarkymark! And this together with the fill of 645 from Minnow Booster, combined with the few older leases that expired during the week, means we still have the longest duration since the account is open!!! Which translates into more votes for longer! ;)

During the week we received 2 more solid donations (both repeat donors). @profanereviews generously donated 1 sbd and @abh12345 1.0 steem; and again we received a full upvote from @fulltimegeek to show his support! It is amazing to see the different people step up each week, and I want to thank you all very much for making this support of a wonderful cause possible!

I also want to spotlight to turn on one person that generously donated 3 SBD's to the cause, well at least she intended to. Her name is @four20 and she donated 3 of her 4 sbds total, but instead of sending them to this account, she sent them directly to @fulltimegeek. Her goal was to help @fulltimegeek so it worked out perfect that she sent them direct to him, but I wanted to acknowledge her here to all of you. It makes me proud of the message that @fulltimegeek has sent with his Stewards of Gondor program, when I see a steemian with a total of 15 SP and 4 sbds send 3 of those sbds to help the cause! Great work and love your spirit @four20, and thank you too!

This Weeks Payment On Posts Today (~$27 sbd)

Tonight we received the 11th weekly payout since the launch of this program. The payout was $27 sbds, and it and last weeks carryover of $36 sbds plus any donations, will be used to lease more long term SP. Note: This means we have at least $63 sbds and $1 steem to enter a new order on the books, so hopefully we can cross the 5000 SP mark!

We have successfully built up and stabilized our account, and now we should provide a steady and growing upvote if we continue to get your support. The goal is to give the SOG members a real benefit and with your continued efforts to support us, we will continue to build the SP and curation trail.

Thank you all for your generous support!

As mentioned earlier these new donations and earnings of sbd from posts will be reinvested to grow the SP so that the SOG members get a bigger hit to their upvote. We have now started lengthening the leases from 13 to 20 weeks depending on market opportunities.

What you can do if you want to support this project to help @fulltimegeek and his #stewardsofgondor

#1 You can follow what we are doing and tell your followers and friends through various methods

#2 You can upvote our posts to increase the amount of earnings we have to lease more SP

#3 You can follow our curation trail (84th place already) on steemauto and have your upvote show moral support (even 2 or 3% is something that matters because it all adds up)

#4 You can donate directly like the wonderful people above

#5 You can delegate any of your own SP for any period of time that suits you while this Quest is ongoing

#6 Last but not least, you can thank the individual "friends" that are supporting this effort directly. Sometimes just a stop by and a small note saying you appreciate their help will make a big difference to a donor's day!

If you can't do any of the other 5 and you support what we are doing, then #6 is a very very effective way to help us. It encourage them to spread the word and rewards their efforts with "respect"
