RE: My First Contest for Fellow Steemit Newbies | One-Liner Life Mantra
This is a cool contest, I like the positivity! Ok here's my entry.
https://steemit.com/lifemantra/@vdux/my-life-mantra-sometimes-you-need-to-throw-your-hat
Also, I'm about to start a contest of my own. Any tips???
@vdux, you are the second to submit and I am glad you find my contest cool. I upvoted the entries submitted on day 1 and that includes yours. I'm your follower now, I'll see you around Steemit! Thanks for the support.
For a tip, you need to be detailed about the mechanics, the criteria, the prize, who judges the contest, when is the exact deadline (best if you can set the time in UTC for international community to have a clear picture when it is exactly). This is just me, but I think a contest is enjoyable if there are no losers. No matter how little, I want to give consolation prizes to the contestants, even if it's just 0.01 SBD. Anyway if there are 100 non-winning entries, 0.01x100 is just 1 SBD. I want it that way because I want to tell everyone that there is a big difference between a cent and nothing. I love earning cents. And in Steemit, there are cents and dollars everyday if you just keep Steemin'! ;-) Best of luck with your own contest, please do it for the red fishes, too. Thank you.
Oh, yes, I want to keep it open and accessible for everybody. But also known to everybody! Do you use anything to promote your posts?
No, I don't. But I have a team behind me, it's called Steemit Achievers and surpassinggoogle helped resteem my post and he has a lot of followers. Also, I made it part of the mechanics for contestants to resteem my post and refer a fellow in their post for it to be known. Just simple, organic ways for exposure.
Thank you for the advice. I posted my contest! Here's the link https://steemit.com/contest/@vdux/contest-win-2-sbd-free-upvotes-and-more-for-writing-17-syllables
That is awesome! Now I want you to know a good Steemit friend named @moneyinfant. Please ask him/her to add your contest to his compilation of contests like he/she did to mine. It will give more exposure to your contest. Here is his/her link: https://steemit.com/contest/@moneyinfant/steemit-writing-contests-issue-24-february-18-2018
@vdux reached out and the haiku contest will be in tomorrow's issue.
Looks like @cadawg is very busy with the judging here!
And for future reference it's him/his :))
Awesome. I was about to ask you that. Ahahaha! Yeah, I don't know how cadawg does it when he is busy as a student getting A's. He is quite good with juggling stuff. Awesome kid.
