Week 6: 7-Day Steemit INCOME Building Weekly Accountability Challenge

in #challenge7 years ago (edited)

Hey Steem Fam,

Happy Sunday to you!

Welcome to Week 6 of our 7-Day Steemit Income Building Weekly Accountability (SIBWA) Challenge

Let's dive right in..

180408-Wk6-7day-stmt-INCOME-bld-acct-chal800x460.jpg

This was another week of forcing myself to create more balance between time spent on Steemit and time spent on my own online business.

It's also been nibbling at me to change the title of this Challenge for a few weeks. It's time now. So the 'Business' in the title is now replaced by 'Income' to make it the 'Steemit Income Building Weekly Accountability Challenge or SIBWA Challenge. Did you notice the INCOME in all caps as a kind of wink-wink? ;)

If you are already publishing one post and fifteen comments consistently and would like to increase to two posts and 30 comments daily, we would love to support and cheer you on as you do that.

Use the Challenge as your safe, friendly accountability space as you practice doing that each week.

IF you are visiting this Challenge for the first time, Thank You for stopping by. Would you like to have some company as you post away here on Steemit?

If you are not yet consistently publishing one post and fifteen comments daily, we would also like to support and cheer you on as you develop that habit.

Again, think of this weekly Challenge as your own safe accountability space to play with other participants while you practice publishing more regularly.

Let's jump right on in...


°º¤øº°°°º¤øº¤øº°°°º¤øº°

If you are new to the Challenge, Welcome!

Let's recap:

This Challenge is about:

  • increasing the daily income you earn here on Steemit from publishing posts and comments daily
  • having a structured space here on Steemit to post your daily links and comment total numbers
  • helping you be accountable... to you
  • being excited to be accomplishing your Steemit daily goals
  • contributing consciously and intentionally each day to this wonderful Steemit platform we are all Blessed to be a part of
  • receiving the 100% support of fellow Challenge participants along with the wider Steemit community as you accomplish each daily Win
  • sharing the same daily posting/commenting goals as other participants in a joint group effort to expand both our contribution and reach within this huge Steemit universe
  • having fun

For anyone who may happen by after today while this week's 7-Day Challenge is in progress, you can join in at any time.

So don't worry if when you're reading this you've missed a few days. Just jump in and start adding your post and comment links. Then come back next Sunday to start from scratch when next week's Challenge kicks off.

If you are an old hat from previous weeks, Thank you for participating and Welcome again.

We'll keep learning as we're doing and will fine-tune the Challenge as we go.


°º¤øº°°°º¤øº¤øº°°°º¤øº°

For now, here's what we've got:

The Challenge is run on the honor system.

You post one of your daily links in exchange for making two comments on posts submitted by other participants. So two valuable, relevant comments per post that you submit.

IF there are NOT enough participants for you to get your two comments for each of your daily posts done within the Challenge:

  • comment on participant posts first
  • comment on posts outside of the Challenge after
  • post links for your two inside and 'outside' comments under the relevant daily post

Also, very importantly, please:

  • USE 'accountability' as one of your tags for the posts you're going to submit for the Challenge.

Besides it making your post easier for Challenge supporters to find, it will make your posts more visible as it's a tag that's not filled with millions of other posts.

It is also a term that's highly regarded in many niches and areas of interest and often searched for as 'accountability' has now officially become a thing. Searches for it will only increase over time both off and within Steemit itself

  • ADD 'SIBWA Challenge Week 6' somewhere in the TITLE of the daily post you're submitting to this week's Challenge. More peeps going down their timeline will open it out of curiosity because they won't know what the heaven it is

Ok, let's dive down now into the Challenge Prep Steps and the Challenge Daily Action Steps so we can get off of this page and get going with today's Challenge tasks. ;)


°º¤øº°°°º¤øº¤øº°°°º¤øº°


CHALLENGE PREP ACTION STEPS
(for INITIAL BETA MODE)

These are the immediate steps to take now to participate in this week's Challenge:

A. These three basic steps all help increase visibility for this post and the posts you publish and link to here each day during the week:

  1. UPVOTE this post
  2. COMMENT to hold your space by saying "I'm IN".
  3. RESTEEM this post

B. HOW to help keep this Challenge post tidy

  1. 'Reply' to your own "I'm IN" comment:
  2. TYPE in 'Day 1 Posts':
  3. HIT 'Enter' so it becomes a sub-comment to your original "I'm In" comment.
  4. Do the EXACT SAME THING for EACH of the next few days, all the way up to Day 7, so that EACH Day has its OWN 'Reply' to your FIRST ORIGINAL "I'm IN" comment

Ok, that's the set-up for each of your seven days of link and comment posting for this week's 7-Day Challenge.

This will help you post your links and comments quickly during the week when you may be in a rush.

Once I've published this post, I will do mine at the top and show you so you can see it.

Now let's get in to the daily action steps...


°º¤øº°°°º¤øº¤øº°°°º¤øº°


DAILY CHALLENGE ACTION STEPS
(for INITIAL BETA MODE)

AFTER you have completed the Challenge PREP Steps above, move on to:

A. SUBMIT YOUR FIRST CHALLENGE POST LINK
UNDER
your Day 1 sub-comment:

  1. Click 'REPLY'
  2. INSERT your FIRST Challenge post link and click 'SUBMIT'

B. UPVOTE/QUALITY COMMENT 2 POSTS BY FELLOW CHALLENGE PARTICIPANTS

  1. Go ahead and upvote/quality comment TWO posts by different participants to cover the FIRST Challenge post you entered
  2. For EACH set of upvote/quality comment you do, RETURN to your FIRST post link in this Challenge thread and let the author know that you upvoted and quality commented
  3. AFTER finishing your FIRST ROUND of TWO upvotes/quality comments to cover your FIRST Challenge post link submitted for the day:
  • RETURN to your FIRST post link submission comment for that day
  • CLICK Reply under it
  • INSERT the links for EACH of the TWO comments you made in exchange for posting your first Challenge post link
    (Just right-click on the time thingy of your first comment you made on another participant's post, choose 'Copy' and insert that comment link back on this post as a reply to where you entered YOUR own post link)

This will MAKE IT CLEAR to all other participants which two comments you made in exchange for your FIRST post link

SEE my Day 1 example if the above is not clear.

C. UPVOTE/QUALITY COMMENT 11 OTHER POSTS

  1. Go ahead and continue with ONE set of upvote/quality comment to meet your 10-15 daily comment total within the Challenge if there are enough participants, or outside of the Challenge when you've commented on all participant posts available for that week
  2. RETURN to the post link in this Challenge thread and let the author know that you upvoted and quality commented as part of your extra comment round
  3. RETURN to your relevant Day sub-comment at end of your day, hit 'Reply' and insert the number of comments you did for the day


°º¤øº°°°º¤øº¤øº°°°º¤øº°

That's IT!

Have FUN this week making friends and leaving love on each post you visit.

Even if your steem power is low so your upvote doesn't have a lot of $$ value, the 'heart value' of your upvotes and quality comments is priceless!

Day 3, Tuesday 10th April 2018:

11 other comments for today (I have not been on top of this before - we'll see how I get on with some effort today. I'm working on changing my habits around so that I read and learn more, and then comment on that. Focusing a bit more on giving back.): 11 and counting... I have thoroughly enjoyed my day of comment conversations with Steemians. I must say though that it helps that I was on holiday today and didn't do much else. I don't think I could fit this in with a normal working day, or even a normal weekend. But it's good to keep a goal in mind so I'll see if I can aim for 11 extra comments in future, and see what I get.

AMAZING job on the commenting, Paul! Thank you. I've been lax in adding mine all up.

btw, you don't have to list the comments over and above the ones you do for your posts. I usually just scroll down the timeline and count based on when it says the comments were made. Just tally what you did for the day and say that... so your Day 3 Comments would say 11 as you did above. Hopefully that will make it easier when you're back at work... tallying-wise.

I don't think I could fit this in with a normal working day, or even a normal weekend. But it's good to keep a goal in mind so I'll see if I can aim for 11 extra comments in future, and see what I get.

I understand. Your usual day is long and super busy... esp as exams are around the corner. Just do the best you can while taking care of your sanity. ;)

Even if you do just 1-2 comments when you have a rare spare 5 minutes, it will all add up. No worries.

I quite liked the semi-gamification of coming back and adding the latest comments to the list though :-) And yes, if pushed for time I might not... lol.

I thoroughly enjoyed seeking out people and posts, reading them, and commenting. Several have turned into ongoing back-and-forth conversations, which I loved.

It was all a good antidote against many of the posts that I read today about the problems with bots and people gaming Steemit against the principles it was originally founded on. Even in the worst possible future, at least today I found several wonderful people and made some great connections.

Yes, I find that my daily meet and greet rounds are a great buffer to negativity on Earth generally and closer home. ;) Heaven on Earth is really a huge challenge but we get to focus our power of intention and actions towards creating our unique vision of it. Let's see what we all co-create, planetary-wide, in our real 3-D communities and also online, like here on Steemit.

SOOO happy you're enjoying meeting and greeting, Paul.

LOVE this new series with its insights, graphs, goals! Wonderful way to end your day. Thanks, Paul! Upvoted and will FB/RT now.

Day 4, Wednesday 11th April 2018:

Wow. Deep post. Pulling us all in to our vastness.

FB/tweeted also. Thank you!

You're bubbling away today AGAIN, Paul! FOUR posts! LOVE it! Going to read a couple now. And Thank You!!!

Day 6, Friday 13th April 2018:

Day 6 post: a short test on DLive :-)

https://steemit.com/dlive/@powerfulwonders/86c8af80-3eb2-11e8-bfed-63766378c43c

I have to say that this feels like a real growth moment for me, actually posting this and it working :-) Thanks for the inspiration!

Day 7, Saturday 14th April 2018:

This was such a lovely, easy post to read and enjoy. You were relaxed and it made me feel relaxed. Thank you so much for being at peace and accepting just how well you are taking on more and more as you continue to stay in balance with all the other busy aspects of your life and world.

Awesome goal and self discernment. FB/tweeting to share with my goal, producivity and stressed out audience. ;)

Yayyyy!!! So happy to have your awesome company, Paul! ;)

Yayyyyyyyyy!!!!

WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME!!!

Great to see you again, @zuckerzombie! And it's WONDERFUL to have you join us this week.

If you need anything, have any questions, I'm here... just give a shout and I'll help as best I can.

Catching up on comments one by one. ;)

LOVED this recipe. I HAVE to try it soooonest. Need to get the coconut flakes and out of berries now too. And nut milk! ;)

Really looking forward to tasting and enjoying it. Thank you, @zuckerzombie! Especially LOVED your description of it.. as you probably knew I would:

This porridge from shredded coconut flakes tastes like a vacation in a carribean island:-)

It does sound that good though. ;)

LOVE this recipe and all the pictures. Cheering you on and so proud you did enter the contest, @zuckerzombie! Just upvoted and commented.

btw, every time I check your posts, it seems your rank has risen since I first met you. I thought it was 31 a couple days ago, which was higher than what I remember, and then just now I noticed it's now 33. HUGE Congratzzz!!!

Day 3, Tuesday, April 10, 2018:

Hey, @zuckerzombie.

You can put your Day 3-Day 7 posts as separate replies to your 'I'm IN' comment above so that all your numbered Day posts fall under that in a straight line down. That way everything is in one place and easier for all of us to find and comment on.

You're doing awesome!!!
