Monthly Report for January 2021 - CR @fendit

This are the highlights of my contributions to Steemit platform and what I've been working on during this past month. I've been working incredibly hard these time to be up to date with all my duties in here and what we expect to achieve for both Writing & Reviews and Steem Argentina communities.

This past month I've been on holidays for almost two weeks, so I wasn't able to be present in Steemit for a couple of days!

The highlights of my work are:

• Writing & Reviews community
• Steem Argentina
• Curation with Steemcurator05
• Other posts and voting index

Writing & Reviews Community

---

Growth

---

I beleive this community need no introduction. Our work here has been consistent, our users are loyal to us and we couldn't be more happy about it.

Ever since we created this community with @belenguerra, we have been really successful, we kept coming up with new ideas to make users engage more and share good quality content. By now, we keep on growing at a very fast pace of more or less 150/200 users per week.

At the beginning of November, we had 8.539 subscribers. By now, we have almost 8.870. This means that we have 331 new users and almost a 4% increase regarding the beginning of the month. This huge increase in subscribers can be explained by how welcome and comfortable our writers feel and all the hard work we've been doing with @belenguerra.

Promoted Posts

---

It's sometimes discouraging not being able to provide with more support to all those who share their creative content with us and to see that always the same people get supported. As a general thing, every week we either choose the Top Picks and the posts for the Communities Support Program.

We face this kind of situations and, despite the fact that we have taken into account all Steemit Team's suggestions on our performance, we receive no support or visits as other communities do have. As well as this, we have seen some fluctuation in the active user rate, due to the limited support we can offer.

We're also promoting #Club5050. By this, we're encouraging users to participate in this new idea brought by Steemit Team, in which users are invited to power up 50% of their liquid earnings.

• ⭐⭐ INTRODUCING: #CLUB5050 ⭐⭐ // ⭐⭐ PRESENTANDO: #CLUB5050 ⭐⭐

These are the promotion posts I've been in charge of this past month:

• WRITING & REVIEWS | TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK - January 25th

• ⭐⭐ Weekly report for Communities Support Program: 15.01 - 21.01 ⭐⭐

---

User Verification

---

As well as that, and since we're planning on growing as much as we can, we asked for some feedback on how we can improve this community. As a result, we launched the user verification so that we're sure that no fake accounts are participating here. So far, in these time that this has been launched, we verified almost 510 users.

---

Delegations Program

---

As well as that, our Delegation Program is still up and running, and has had a great acceptance. We have increased the number of votes that we've given from the community account.

This past week we did our second rewards distribution to all those who contributed to Writing & Reviews by delegation. This made us increase the amount of delegated SP as users felt encouraged to do it and support us!

Little by little, users are participating actively on helping us grow and delegating their SP to increase our VP in the community account.

Last report on delegated SP:

• ⭐ DELEGATION PROGRAM: Guidelines + Rewards distribution⭐ // ⭐ PROGRAMA DE DELEGACIONES: Lineamientos + Distribución de recompensas ⭐

Fight against Plagiarism

---

We have had a number of plagiarized posts lately, so we've endured our fight against all this type of actions.

Our protocol against plagiarism is simple and easy:
Every post gets checked. What happens if we find someone stealing content?

• First warning: We mute that post and we let the user know that we won't tolerate that kind of attitudes. We keep score of these users and, if they have already their user verified, we also warn them that they will get their tag removed if that happens again.

• Second warning: This is the final warning. We give no other opportunity to those who choose to perform this kind of actions over and over again. We mute the post and leave a comment, in which we specify that it's the second time we found these immoral activities and that we will no longer support their posts. Also, we put a "Bad Habits ❌" tag, so that it shows that the user has been performing poorly in our community.

This is the forth report of offenders. An updated version will be posted by the end of this week:

• ❌ Our fight against plagiarism - Offenders in Writing & Reviews ❌ // ❌ Nuestra lucha contra el plagio - Transgresores en Writing & Reviews ❌

---

Contests

---

When it comes to contests, we run one weekly and we're planning on increasing this number to two per week. These ones are being held in the community account and per contest we have up to 100 participants. We have started again with the second contest and it seems to have great acceptance.

---

Curation with @writingnreviews

---

We also use our Community account to support and vote our fellow writers. We check that there's no plagiarism involved and we try to support and encourage everyone to keep performing their best at our community. Here's the voting index for Writing & Reviews community account.

Also, we have been visiting other communities and voting for good quality posts to invite those writers to Writing & Reviews. So far, this has been a great idea!

Steem Argentina

As well as in Writing & Reviews, I voted as many users as I could to encourage them posting there. We have finally achieved the +700 subscribers bareer and we're keeping the community active.

Also, I've been browsing different tags related to Argentina to check if there's any argentinian that might want to join but doesn't know about the community so far!

---

Every week, a contest is being held so that users are welcome to take part in this community as well, whether they're from Argentina or no. These are the contest I've held this month:

• [#Club5050] 📺 THIS WEEK'S CONTEST: Your favourite 2021 TV series 📺 // 📺 CONCURSO SEMANAL: Tu serie favorita de 2021 📺

• [#Club5050] THIS WEEK'S CONTEST: Your best childhood memory 🥰 // CONCURSO SEMANAL: El mejor recuerdo de tu infancia 🥰

---

We have started to update the current status of all argentinian users in the platform. Here are my reports for that:

• Updated list for Argentinian users: January 19th - CR for Argentina @fendit

Curation with Steemcurator05

I'm part of the team that curates The Diary Game posts with steemcurator05. We are now in charge of voting one day per week for each CR and we aim to reach from 40 users per day, voting up to 25% per user. We believe this is a great way to keep users motivated and to engage with the platform, specially for those who have been dormant for quite some time or that are not that aware of all the game we have here in Steemit. You can check out my curation report here:

Other posts and voting index

Here are other posts that I've done this past month to keep my presence active in the platform. It's not just about reports, but also my attempt to provide quality content. I get the feeling that sometimes written posts don't get supported as much as they should just beucase they don't include hundreds of pictures. It's a shame, since writing takes a lot more time than just pasting links...

As I've said, I've been trying to vote and support as many users as I could in these three communities and the users I follow. I try to vote until my VP reaches 85% and I try to use it as much as I can before it reaches 100% again. For example:
