With 41 Retweets So Far, You Could Have A Decent Chance of Winning $100

I started my contest on impulse. I wanted to avoid overthinking it, and just see what happens.

With approximately 14 hours to go, I have 41 Retweets for the main prize ($100 + post payout), 152 upvotes for the $50 upvote prize and 38 reblogs for the other $50 prize. Assuming nothing changes, a retweet could be a 2% chance of $102. The chances could lower with more retweets but the prize could also rise.

Lessons learned so far (I would like your thoughts too on how to do this better):

Pretty sure every retweet is a Steemian. A redo might need either a more well known or better presented Twitter user profile. It is not yet gaining attention outside Steemit.

Something like this needs whale support. I did get upvotes from @donkeypong, @anyx and others for which I'm thankful. A repeat should probably talk to people with major upvote power before the post goes out so that it's not lingering on pennies for a while. Perhaps I need to be better trusted or known by the whales as well.

Requiring retweets for entry was a mistake. The point I tried to make on Twitter was that your attention is worth real money, but a retweet represents the attention of your followers, not yours. A repeat should live by its own philosophy by allowing a 'like' to be an entry as well.

I also got a bunch of followers on Steem and Twitter which was unexpected and cool.
