RE: Weekly Recap for #newbieresteemday - 1st Edition
Hi @ameriespeaks. I so wanted to reply this morning but bandwidth issue prevented me from getting on. Then it got busy at work. Thank you for your sweet comments. The comment is sooo Dave. I knew I had to "poke" some fun with him when I saw it. I hope I didn't miss anyone with the member list, but if the person is an active member then he/she will let me know.
I didn't know we had so many activities going on until I compiled the list. Wow, we're moving fast. I don't know how I'm going to keep up if this list goes from 50 to 100 to 1000? I might just demote myself back to cheerleader and have someone else take over if (WHEN) that happens! lol
lol I didn't realize so much was going on either - but it's great to see so many people working together! It is a lot to keep up with - perhaps if we get larger we can break it apart and do a member of the week as one post, a list of ongoing activities as another and maybe keep a running list of members with another post - all different people doing the posts even, maybe, to break up the weight of it. - if we keep growing that is! :)
That would really help if (when) we keep growing this fast @amariespeaks. A member handling one area of the weekly recap and posting it. Then I can just summarize it in the weekly recap, the way a recap should be. Also, it means more of us are monitoring the activities on the thread and helping out if needed. I know it would help me since I’m not on all the time and definitely help Dave. He is everywhere and doing everything it seems. We can do the divvy amongst our group of volunteers if it gets to that point. Which I think it will soon.
I think another good idea is for someone to write a piece on the member of the week. I’ll announce the winner on the weekly recap and our post writer would go through the member’s blog, pick out a post, and highlight the member and their writing/content. That way others can learn more about our members. It doesn’t even have to be a recent post. Something good the member wrote that should be ‘shed light on’. It’s important to help newbies but equally important to let others know the people behind the initiative. Same concept as Minnows Monday but for the member of the week. It could be a Special Saturday/Sunday theme or something catchy. Never been good with jingles. Whatcha think? If only we have a volunteer...😉
ohh I like all the ideas. definitely divvy up the the weekly updates will alleviate some of the pressure from you - I would be more than happy to do a weekend highlight of one of our members. :) I'll brainstorm some catchy names/ideas/themes. How did you find out all the members? I can go off your list here in the post for now but I'm curious to know how you located everyone, from discord - or dave? lol
Yay! I was hoping you would say yes. That would be awesome.
As to finding members, I searched through the feed with #newbieresteemday for a “master post” about the initiative. Some mention of it and how they are helping. Could be a “drop off your link” post, Minnow Monday’s, or anything stating they’re actively involved. Some members I found when reading Dave’s blog, then I checked out their blog for “active” participation. I know not everyone will have a master post and are helping in the background. Dave mentioned there are more members that should be added. So the rest of the member list will probably come from him.
We should keep a master list of members but I only want to highlight the members helping for the week on the weekly recap so they can be ‘rewarded’ for their efforts. Also a way to tell the inactive ones ‘hey, come back to us’ because we definitely need the support.
yes, that sounds like a good plan! maybe we can chat on dscord near the end of the week and talk about who we'd like to highlight as the member of the week? I don't have a problem choosing on my own but would it be better if we all have a say in it?
Great idea so everyone can contribute. I’ll find time this weekend to go on discord and we can hash it out. Yay, this will be fun.
ok! sounds great! :)
I hope you are having a wonderful day... I didn't want to bug you on discord so you could have lots of fun at work with no distractions...
But before I forgot I wanted to tell you that we got hit 100% at @fog by FTG... :)
Pretty cool if he makes this a regular thing. That account will get big in a hurry and help lots of SOG members!
