Respected Steemit Team,

This is @cryptokraze, founder of the community Steem Infinity Zone and we are applying for the community support program through this post by our community official account @siz-official.

We are covering each element in our application required for the support program and providing comprehensive information about our community. We are very thankful to @steemitblog team for this wonderful initiative.

Community Purpose

Steem Infinity Zone is established with the Vision “To Educate and Empower People on Steemit without Limits”

We have redefined our community purpose to keep the focus on educational content. By doing so, we have streamlined the community content purely on educational content through Tutorials and SIZ Approved Courses where members are provided valuable content and skills for free. The details of the Redefined purpose of SIZ community can be read below

Redefining SIZ Community Purpose

This is a significant improvement done by community management because we have remove the recipes, diary game and all the random posts. Although, this resulted in drop of activity in community but we have restored the activities through different contests and engagement strategy that is mentioned in later part of the application. Community purpose is the main thing for us and we cannot compromise on it.

Uniqueness of Community

SIZ is unique because it is based on adding value to people life by educating them with different educational tutorials and SIZ Approved Courses. It is a platform for both trainers and students to showcase their individual talents that will empower the community.

SIZ is also unique in the sense that the founder of the community is using all his rewards to grow the community and support community members.

SIZ Approved courses is the unique concept where we have provided members of the community to educate everyone in their field of expertise. We have set the filter of approval so that everyone gets through proper channel and not start posting random stuff.

• We have long term plan to take our account steem power to 100k SP by year end and we are using all our rewards to convert into steem and power up. In addition, we are offering maximum delegation rewards (upto 200% of curation) to delegators so we can get more delegations in future. The founder @cryptokraze has been delegating most of his Steem Power to community curation account to grow it (currently delegated 8500 SP)

• All the rewards received in form of SBD are being converted into steem and turned in to steem power. We have not withdrawn a single steem from the community so far. Delegation rewrds and contests prizes are transferred through community official Grand Rewards Pool (@siz-rewards) which is financed by the founder @cryptokraze and our sponsor @qasimwaqar.

• We have grown our SP significantly this month and doing voting on almost all the posts. If some posts got skipped that might be due to extra load but we check the payout section of community posts so any post reaching payout deadline will get voting. We can say that almost 100% of the posts in community are getting voted by curation account.

Plagiarism and Abuse

• We have made Guidelines for Plagiarism and Warning system for the offenders. This will clear things to every member that Plagiarism has no place in SIZ community. The detailed guidelines can be read in this post Community Guidelines for Plagiarism and Warning System

• We have made our checking even more strict after getting the Booming support for August and members are given warnings if their posts are showing even low plagiarism.

• To check the account originality, we already have country representative @vvarishayy in our team who is doing this effectively.

• We have instructed members to use images from copyright free resources and made a separate tutorial on using images in the posts.

Engagement and Commenting

We have introduced SIZ Commenting Contest to increase engagement among community members and it has given us significant results. This contest also provide opportunity for those members to stay active who cannot make daily posts due to their busy schedule.

We try to check all the posts and commenting on most of the posts and we will continue to comment on maximum number of posts through our official account and admin team accounts.

We have increased the comments percentage from last month and 80 to 90% of the Posts are being commented by the Community team currently and we will definitely increase this engagement to 100% this month.

As you can see we have 1,948 subscribers and 153 active members right now, We have been successful in increasing the number of active posters this month by supporting them and doing other promotions, and encouraging the members. Many contests have been arranged to increase the activity. We are working to increase the number of active posters and quality content creators and that can be seen by the result.

Special Features of SIZ

We would like to mention special features of our community Steem Infinity Zone that are not present in any other community on Steemit.

SIZ Approved Demand Driven Courses
The main objective of these demand driven courses is to streamline the content in the community. In this way, members will post content that will be approved by community management. It will keep the community focused on educational content and remove all the random stuff.

Steem Investment Plan
The main objective is to bring investments to Steem ecosystem from outside by providing better returns to investors. We want people to keep Steem within the system instead of withdrawing so we encourage everyone to be part of this plan and get great returns on their Steem investments. You can get 60% Profit annually on your investments with SIZ. We have received 5300 Steem from 5 investors so far and it will eventually increase with time.

SIZ Rewards
We have launched SIZ Rewards (@siz-rewards), which is community's official grand rewards pool. SIZ management and other generous donors can support this by sending donations that will be used to support community members.

SIZ Delegation Reward System
We have invited delegators to support SIZ community by delegating their Steem Power to the community official account (@siz-official) and get upto 200% curation rewards which is the best offer among Steemit communities.

SIZ Exchange
We have launched this project (@siz-exchange) to support community members by providing local currency in exchange of their Steem and SBD. This is a non-profit Service and resources received in SIZ Exchange will be utilized to power up or support SIZ Projects.

So far we have given exchange services for 5374 STEEM and 394 SBD which means @cryptokraze has used equally amount of his personal resources to pay for these exchange service and kept these steem and SBD assets within the system that shows SIZ commitment towards growing for long term.

Improvements Shown by SIZ

We understand that Booming support was given to communities so that they can show improvements. We are mentioning about the improvements that are done by SIZ community since we got August Booming Support.

Focus on Content

We have redefined our community purpose and shifted the focus of community content to education. We have instructed the members to post only Educational Tutorials and SIZ approved Courses. The community is looking significantly improved from last month in terms of content.

Removal of Repetitive and Random Content

One of the observation was random and repetitive content in SIZ. So, we have removed cooking recipes, diary games and all random topic posts from the community. This has significantly improved community outlook and purpose that is based on educating and empowering people.

Improvement in Effective Steem Power

We have increased out community effective steem power by +8000 SP and have taken our community to 45,000 SP now which is a significant improvement.

International Members Participation

We have increased International members subscription and participation in the community by organizing contest to encourage other countries people joining and posting in SIZ. We will continue to do this to attract more people from other countries.

Posting Guidelines to Get Support

We have provided separate guidelines to community members if they want to get voting support. This has significantly improved the quality of the content in community.

Guidelines for Plagiarism and Warning System

We have implemented the Plagiarism Warning System and provided guidelines to the community members so that they can avoid posting plagiarized content.

Voting from Official Account

Last month, we were voting on 80% of the posts but we have done voting on almost 100% of the posts this month and we will keep voting all of the good posts in this community.

Commenting and Engagement

We have increased commenting by community leaders that has increased from 50% in previous month to 80 to 90% in this month. At the same time, we have also started commenting contest which has increased engagement by members.

Educational Contest

We are now organizing educational contest that will reinforce the community purpose of educating people. We will continue to do more educational and skill based contests ahead.

Why SIZ should Get the Support?

We have improved many things since last month that is shared above and we believe in continuous improvement to make a better ecosystem.

SIZ community members are making more efforts to provide educational content specially SIZ approved courses. Their efforts should be recognized though the voting support. In this way, we will get more members starting valuable tutorials and courses globally and it will ultimately help achieve the community main goal that is to empower the people to learn some great skills that will help them in their life.

Since, the community have started, the founder @cryptokraze has used all his steemit rewards to grow the community and support the members through contests and other support programs. We have not withdrawn a single steem since this community is started and @cryptokraze has used his personal resources outside steemit to pay to the members who wanted to withdraw. We have kept all the steem and SBD within the system through out SIZ Exchange.

SIZ has always encourages #steemexclusive content in our community and we will not allow cross posting in our community.

Lastly, we assure steemit team that we will not use any kind support for our personal gains. All the support received will be used to grow the community and support the hardworking members as you might have observed from our August activities.

The main objective of Steem Infinity Zone is to empower people and we need your support to make a positive impact on lives of many because 1 small vote can worth huge for some student who is struggling to manage his study expenses or a housewife who is finding it hard to manage expenses oh her children.
