Dear @steemitblog,

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to apply for the support program. This monthly selection keeps us motivated and competitive. Steemit Pakistan utilized booming support of tier-1 in the best possible way and achieved a lot. We would like to apply again hoping to get selected among the top communities or at least remain in the tier-1. Here's our application:

---

Community Purpose

---

As the name suggests - Steemit Pakistan, this is a country community specifically created for all the Pakistani Steemians. The purpose was to unite all Pakistanis, new and old under one platform. Newcomers find it very overwhelming and can't decide where to begin but Steemit Pakistan finesse them by providing a nursery like environment where each newbie gets special attention and guided by the community team. When a Pakistani newbie arrives at Steemit, country representatives verify them and refer them to this community and from there the community team makes sure that user is well-equipped with all the knowledge to begin a successful Steemit journey.

^{For All active Pakistani members. We love and appreciate quality content that is original. You'll have our full support. This community is being designed to support all the active Pakistani steemians and then for the entire steemit family. We would love and appreciate all type of content creators to come and join us and post within our community.}

^{- Formal Community Description}

Thereby, we provide a platform to all Pakistanis to share their content in Steemit Pakistan.

People should join this community because we not only provide a space to Pakistanis but we are also very welcoming to friends from other communities. We run multiple contests and keep the members engaged in constructive activities.

Apart from the diary game series, we commenced dynamics three days a week.

#monday-crypto
#tuesday-review
#wed-education

These themes are keeping the publications more organized and gives members a head off for the next days' topic. We have also been able to identify some seriously talented members in each category.

Steemit Pakistan is the only country community for Pakistanis on Steemit. All Pakistanis also accept it as the only country community.

---

Community Team

---

We have a team of five members who are completely devoted and committed to the growth and betterment of this community. They work selflessly day and night at front and mostly behind the scenes. Those hardworking people are:

• @Haidermehdi - Admin
• @Hassanabid - Moderator
• @Event-Horizon - Moderator
• @Vvarishayy - Moderator
• @Salmanwains - Moderator

• Haidermehdi initiates community projects and important announcements.
• Hassanabid deals with all the rewards distributions and shares community progress reports.
• Event-horizon manages contests, assists in community projects and guide members.
• Vvarishayy manages delegation rewards and guide members.
• Salmanwains manages contests and guide members.

All the team members also choose daily best picks and curate from official curation account on their assigned day.

All the team members are fluent in English and Urdu and can deal with other languages through Google Translator.
As it's country community so all the team is Pakistani as well.

Team members are not rewarded from community funds but they get one booming vote on their weekly report in which they share the progress and their weekly tasks.

There is one admin but the community keys have been shared among all the team members. Keys are safely stored so there's no chance of losing them.

Community Curation Account

---

@steemit-pak is the official curation account for Steemit Pakistan.

Following are the current SP details:

Effective SP	Own SP	Delegated SP
40,000	14,471	25, 329

---

Effective SP now	Effective SP last month	Increase
40,000	28,000	42%

This past month has by far proven to be the best in term of growth of the community. 42% increase in the SP is one huge achievement.

We just keep the contest rewards in the wallet and rest of the steem is powered up. But since booming support, we have not gotten much chance to vote on official curation account. We mostly keep booming for members. For curation account we are doing two things:

• Beneficiaries
• Delegations

The reason behind huge increment in the delegation amount is that we have devised a plan to support the delegators with booming votes. Here's the detailed plan which has helped a lot in getting delegations. Delegations are one thing but we are pleased to see the power-up trend in the community. Members have limited the withdrawals and focus on growing their accounts and delegating to the community to make it strong.

1. Making Lives Better With Steem || Set Beneficiaries to @steemit-pak Account || Let's Help Each Other Grow!

2. Delegate and Earn Multiple Rewards

All the Steemit Pakistan team members have access to the curation account and curate on their assigned day.

Only contest rewards and delegations rewards are being from the community funds. Rest of the rewards are powered up.

Plagiarism and Abuse

---

The STEEMIT PAKISTAN COMMUNITY stands tall against Plagiarism. It is the basic rule of our community which is intolerable. Plagiarism comes in many forms! It is said by @haidermehdi that Plagiarism is a Liquid which can take the shape of its container! You just can not limit its forms. People do word spinning, pictures, stealing of content, stealing ideas, stealing the syntax, stealing the designs, stealing of approach and much much more! So this just can not be left alone in a community who is willing to reach to the Steemy Moon.

As stated, plagiarism is a curse which no one wants to adopt, but there are always some spammers who try to destroy the image of a platform or a community that is reaching for the stars. We check the posts on different plagiarism tools, we keep track of the new accounts through the help of our greeters(Haidermehdi, Vvarishayy and Hassanabid). We make sure that all our users complete atleast Achievement 3 From the Newcomers Community so that they know about Content Etiquettes!

When we catch a spammer, we straight forward put a label on them. We have got 3 warnings for the user. After first warning, the user gets the Label of Under Observation. The second warning gives them a 100% downvote from Country Curation account and the community team. And after the third warning which is the final one, the user gets muted from the Community!

We have a team of 5 members who keep checking the quality of the content in the Community. We also got the pleasure to work with @endplagiarism04 as our Partner in the Community! The Team consists of @haidermehdi, @event-horizon, @vvarishayy and @salmanwains and @hassanabid.

There is a proper check on each and everything which is related to plagiarism. We make sure that the pictures used in the Community are copyright free. Our moderator event-horizon has made several guides to help people with copyright free images.

---

Engagement and Commenting

---

We organize weekly engagement contests. While rewarding members we make sure that the member is not a good author but also interacts with others.

The moderators also try to visit atleast ten posts every day and make appreciative or guidance comments. They are then required to make daily reports of this activity.

We have now strongly suggested our members to take part in these contests. We are now running the most important contests and the contests that matter the most.

Here below are the two of them which are currently live:

• Walls & Steemit collaboration and Sponsorship Contest

• Steemit Promotions in the Town

Major Highlights of the September

---

We managed to increase 42% steem power of curation account. We did a lot of brainstorming and came to a conclusion that if we want to grow the account, we need the support of our members and for their support, we need to keep them happy. So first we designed a very detailed yet easy to understand labeling system.

One glace at the label will tell you all about the member's growth and contribution to the community. Here's the detailed post of Labeling System.

Next, we devised a sound plan of restricting booming support to only newbies and dedicated members. For this we formed different categories. A member has to be in a category to get one guaranteed booming vote in a week. Here's the detailed post on how we are doing it.

Book your place in booming sheet

These two strategies have shown us a lot of power ups and delegations to the community. With this we have increased 42% of steem power in the whole month which is equal to more than 12,000 steem power in this month so far.

---

One more thing, we are working on is to encourage members to join the crypto academy. We get a lot of queries from newbies about joining the academy but they lack basic requirements. For this, we are making a plan of giving extra support through steemcurator07 to such genuinely interested students.

---

As mentioned earlier, we have themes three days of the week. The reason behind those is that:

• We want newbies to have basic crypto knowledge, hence the crypto theme.
• We want to spread awareness and educate people about country issues and .. , hence the educational theme.
• We encourage people to share reviews of different brands and re share them on other social media by tagging the brand to attract them to Steemit, hence the review theme.

External promotions:

Steemit Pakistan is now all focused towards External promotion and one of our respected team member @Event-Horizon is out on the way talking to influencers regarding joining and promoting Steemit. This will help us in good ways to promote steemit Externally.

The request of partnerships with Walls Pakistan can be of a huge advantage if we get a positive response from there as we might be able to get steemit promoted through the joining of a Huge company.

The Distribution Of brochures in Universities and schools has been started. @Vvarishayy has already brought her Classmates to Steemit through promotions and others are highly interested in getting brochures printed and their distribution among fellow people.

We also have a contest going on for this very reason. Here are the Contest Details.Click here to follow.

Promotions are going to be taken to another level through Sponsorship program set to be started with Walls Pakistan. Details are shared above in the post.

Promotions on Social Media Applications:

Steemit Pakistan is also focusing on social media promotions f Steemit. We have made this a compulsory rule to share your post on any one Social Media Application to be eligible to participate in a Contest organized with in the Steemit Pakistan Community.

Activities and Responsibilities in Steemit Pakistan.

The team of Steemit Pakistan is working very hard. We have excel sheets that we follow daily and update that. We have dedicated responsibilities. We have divided the days. We follow big patterns. All of us keep our eyes on the delegations. We have introduced new labelling system. We daily check the booming deserving posts.

The Roadmap:

---

• Steemit Pakistan is the only official country community for all Pakistanis. We are working hard to promote and educate Steemit in Pakistan and as a result we are getting hundreds of new members every day. It's hard to keep new members stick around if they create quality content and still don't get any support. Old members also lose motivation after some time.

• It is one of ours Major Moto to make #steemexclusive posts.

• According to our observation, earlier this year, when sc01 was supporting our members, community grew exponentially. We had highest number of active users, top quality content and many competent members. But with the less frequent visits from steemcurator, members got demotivated.

• We believe that encouragement and support yield better results. We have many talented members who have the potential, and they add value to steem ecosystem. What they need is just a little support to keep them motivated.

• Steemit Pakistan will be giving Certificates and Steem in prize to the Best Author and Most engaging member of the Community every Month.

• Steemit Pakistan has always played an active role for the growth of steem. We encourage our members to do powerups. Our members participate in the monthly SPUD. We also initiated a program called Power Up Quad Batch in which we feature four members who do the weekly powerup based on first come, first serve. We also give them the full upvote from official account and try to support them in every possible so that maximum users get encouraged and participate in this program.

• Steemit Pakistan is one of the first community whose members are doing business on Steemit in return for Steem. Here were referring to Sell for Steem's many successful business deals. We have got honey sellers, book sellers, boutique owner, and Our admins selling Steem promotional assets on half of it's manufacturing price, and are happily selling their goods for steem.

• Our members are also creating online job opportunities in which steem will be given as salary.

• In short, we are working hard and willing to do everything that could help boost the steem. Support from steemit team will be very much appreciated.
