I've found contests are a fun way to win SBDs and also a great way for the platform to generate interesting content. Win-win -- Steemit gets fun, interesting, moving, silly, captivating content, users gets ways to be rewarded for their creativity. In other words, entertainment.

I have a haiku contest open now, if you want to enter. Here's link to the announcement: https://steemit.com/contest/@vdux/vdux-contest-3-win-2-sbd-upvotes-and-more-for-writing-17-syllables-about

I also mention a few good contests in that announcement, perfect for people just getting started on the platform and OGs who want to be creative.
