***CLOSED - NO New Entries*** Week 9 - Pay It Forward Curation Contest
It's time to highlight 2 high quality blog posts from steemians who's reputation score is level 50 or below and 1 steemian of your choosing who has shown to believe in the Pay It Forward Mentality. This contest runs until June 2nd at Midnight.
Week 9 Entry Post Format (No Changes)
For week 9 and future weeks you will need a curation style entry that includes 2 High Quality Original Content Blog Posts from Level 50 or Below Bloggers.
- Curation Style Post of 2 Bloggers who are posting Quality Original Content
- Link to 1 recent blog post per featured blogger. Keep in mind that many will follow this link and upvote so pick a post that isn't close to payout!
- Include a link to this contest in your entry post
- The 2 bloggers you curate Must Be Rank 50 or Lower!
- You need to comment on this post with a link to your post, this is how I track everything!
Optional: Themed 3rd Featured Blogger (New Theme)
New Theme for the Optional Featured Blogger! This week besides your 2 Mandatory Featured Bloggers the bonus Feature spot will be one for someone that has a Pay It Forward Mentality. You can feature any Blogger out there and help share with the community why you feel they are helping Pay It Forward.
You are free to feature those who give back to their local communities, maybe a teacher or active service member, or those who give back to the steemit community here on steemit, but they need to have a recent blog post to be able to link to.
This blogger can be Any Reputation Level! So it's just the opportunity for you to showcase someone who you know is helping Pay It Forward. This is a great way to say thank you to them and write a few nice words letting them know that their efforts are appreciated.
I personally want to thank @surpassinggoogle for stopping by last week's winner announcement post and rewarding all of those who had commented. This gave a nice boost to many of the contestants and the added vote to the post helps offset the drastic drop in post rewards over the last week so all prizes will remain the same. Anyone that has a free witness spot @surpassinggoogle's witness account is @steemgigs. He is someone that has been on my list of witness votes for some time now and worthy of your vote.
👉👉Clarification for Quality Required for valid Entry👈👈
We are looking for Quality Original Content. We want to see no less then 200 words of original written content. So a single photo is fine as long as there is 200 words with it.
To make it easy to estimate 200 words figure there needs to be 12 lines of content.
Posts from Parley and dmania are not acceptable.

Also a big thank you @surpassinggoogle !!
Entry #4
So is this a first that you aren't on the last 24 hours...lol
The planets must have aligned LOL
no, it is what you did and what you are doing. And, in return, I have just "kicked you upstairs". 👍 😎 🌄 🌈
All the best! 🐟 🐬
I love how you put that!! And thanks for putting up with my uniformed grouchy butt :P Hopefully soon I'll start to bring in a little more and I will definitely lend you my support!!
It is the thought that matters in my book. 👍 😎 🌄 🌈
Absolutely !!!
Wow, you've got people just waiting now for the new week's post to come out :) Cheers to another successful week behind us and another ahead of us. It's hard to believe it's been 9 weeks already??!!
I too would like to thank @surpassinggoogle for recognizing the value in this "contest" and for adding to the fun :)
One more in the books! Looking forward to a more normal week...fingers crossed! Really hoping this week I will have more time to engage with those taking part in the contest. Grandma is doing much better so that should help a lot.
It really is crazy to think we are 9 weeks in. Great to see that so many people want to give back!
I hope for you that it is a "more normal" week! So happy to hear that your grandma is doing well. I still laugh to myself when I think of your "I called my grandma an ass" post haha
I'm trying to stay ahead. It's just getting things balanced out. If I do like I plan on doing...then I'll be a day ahead on each thing I'm working on LOL.
Hope you and Brian are holding up ok <3
haha @tryskele, that's like me the way I make a to-do list, but the first few are things I've already done so that I can immediately scratch them off 😂
Brian and I are holding up pretty good, thanks ❤️
Finally got my entry in, it only took until Week 9, thanks for being awesome and helping feature so many undervalued Steemians.
#payitforward and share the love!
Entry #1
Love the entry @insideoutlet, not just because you featured me haha, although that was very nice of you to do! I love your two choices as well!! :) So glad you found the time to enter.
haha thanks, it was a nice way to end my day, and much easier than the alliance entry post as I got to sell others.
Thanks for participating. Going to check your post out now.
Seems like yesterday I was creating a post for the first week . I have not been keeping count but hundreds of minnows must have come through giving a much need boost . But most importantly giving them an opening to a community . That would have taken weeks or even months to establish . Giving them a view of community involvement .
I would like to thank all those who support this contest . And to @surpassinggoogle Who is one of my witness . for supporting the community in many many ways . (I'm having a little problem with my last 9 witness votes so any help would be appreciated ,Keep this between us)
To the Judges @lynncoyle1 @energyaddict @erodedthoughts and @thedarkhorse who not only have my respect and spend an enormous amount of time week after week behind the scenes making this such a great curation contest . This contest has been fun and rewarding . Thank you
The contest is fun and all, but it really is about the minnow we get to support. There is no question that we are in the hundreds and it won't be long before 1,000 have been featured. Might be an interesting thing to track and make #1,000 get a special bonus.
Might be able to help you with the witnesses a little, here is my current list. Message me in discord if you have any questions on any of them.
@thedarkhorse I like the 1000 special bonus idea yea well get together on the witness after the holiday calms down a little
I have tabulated all entries and nominees since week 3 on "the List" although I have not counted them due to duplicates. But, new bloggers numbered to 78 and simple math without considering duplicates is approximately 80 * 4 = 320.
@freedomshift The majority being Planton Minnows . That's the key right there .
I am not sure I get your point. Mine is that I have a list of entries and nominees from week 3 till now ...
@freedomshift My point is that most of the featured entries are of newbies . That is the purpose of the contest to help give them some exposier where in time they can repeat the process
And, I responded to:
with [I did] and it is here.
sorry wrong comment learning new app Fast-reply LOL
I know it. I am not at $1 yet for my blogs, but, I have gotten a few for my comments when @gentlebot found them (4 time now).
If I want to increase my earnings, I would not blog but to comment more with the right person.
That would be the majority.
I am treating this as an investment that gives me some fun at the same time. I have invested about 800 STEEM and at the moment, I have gained 4% or about 32 SBD / STEEM in my spare time.
Once I get a job again, I'll have much less time to blog and will only comment and upvote my friends.
np - I am used to talking to women who changes subject in mid-sentence without notice ...
😆 so, you might be a she-wolf? 😆😜
Right back atcha buddy! I see the time and energy you put into this contest and a lot of other places as well ;)
@lynncoyle1 Yea but I am no where as productive as you . working on it
@wolfhart you are pretty darn productive I think!
@lynncoyle1 what thats it 😭 how are you going to make #1 . Not like that I can tell yea !
thats for the stalkers
If I am 1/2 as productive as you I can be happy with that 😀
@lynncoyle1
I Am Back!
Here is my entry, let me know if someting not right in my post, I will try to do the correction as soon as possible (because this post supposed to be submitted last week..hehehe)

And yes, everyone loves @lynncoyle1 - I guess that's just because she's such an awesome person!
haha @thedarkhorse, you are pretty awesome yourself...just like @viking-ventures :)
Thank you so much @viking-ventures! That was so sweet of you :)
