Steem greetings @everyone from the morherland-Caneroon, and welcome to my blog as I present my 19th report as the Steem Representative.

Another week of work has come and gone and heads high while trying to scale a balance.

That said, below I will be talking about the different activities carried out across the platform within the above-stated timeframes.

Steemit Promotion.

---

It was not different this week as I use the old strategy of promoting Steemit via my WhatsApp status. Notwithstanding, the often-asked question by almost all new users I approached still resurfaces “…Are votes guaranteed because I cannot waste my time on something that will not bring money”. This makes steem promotion very difficult but we keep preaching for one never knows who will end up signing up.

I also carried out a face-to-face promotion. Unfortunately, no new user was recorded but we hope that in the future some persons might find interest and join the platform.

Activities in Steem Cameroon Community.

It was the final week for the contest “Engagement Challenge 4 newcomers”. Participation was not as good as expected. Even my own newcomers were reluctant to participate and no reasons account for this. This just shows that they are not willing to engage and I will not continue with the support program for newcomers. This is clear evidence that “…you cannot take a horse to the stream and forced it to drink water”

It is a routine that every week we meet online and discuss how to better manage the community. We discussed bringing onboard new weekly contest ideas. We also discussed the engagement challenge for newcomers and shared varied ideas. We came to the conclusion that I should award the 1st and 2nd prices because there were only 2 participants actively engaging throughout the 4 weeks of the challenge.

I followed up with some newcomers and guide them via discord. I tried to talk to some of our inactive newbies to find out the reasons they went inactive on the platform. None of them have any concrete reason for being inactive.

As a plagiarism leader and actively fighting all forms of abuse on the community, I had to ensure that content creators create quality content free from any form of abuse on steemit. No abuses of content was recorded. We hope steemians continues to be creative in ideas and create plagiarized free content and proper use of non-copyrighted images.

I also caution steemians about phishing links and using 3rd party DApps. This is because they risk losing their Steemit accounts to hackers. I also informed them about “account recovery” within 30 days if not they stand to lose the account to hackers.

Content Creation.

It was a busy week for me as usual but I still managed to stay active. I created a total of 5 posts as presented below;

Support Other Content Creators with @chant Account.

I used my effective Steem power of over 44k to support steemians with quality content on the platform. I did power up some liquid Steem to increase my steem power and supported other content creators for their hard work on the platform.

Preference was given to authors using the tag burnsteem25. I equally supported other articles across the platform. Over the week, I reached out to 85 accounts and upvoted 119 posts with a CSI score of 15.3.

At this juncture, I have come to the end of my presentation of my weekly activities and hopefully will do better.

Regards!
