**@greetersguild and @terminallyill present........** === ___ ![PicsArt_05-21-07.11.04.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaGcyBf8ADUxzt1SiDSPACM9VSCRAHsL2A32S61i55DuX/PicsArt_05-21-07.11.04.png) ___ ![divders6.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYtNMYkPfEVWxnzF2bnr2N4oqmkWjt78LwMLP5Rv5FqvK/divders6.png) ___ *Well ladies and gentlemen, one of the most exciting moments in the history of the Steemit Greeters Guild has finally arrived and we finally are able to move forward with our newest initiative, "The Writer's Guild", as of today. After many, many hours (days) of preparation and planning, this project is officially ready to launch, showing the Steemit community what the guild is truly made of. We have had several talented writers step forward to work this project, and we have a solid structure in line for everyone, described below in this article. I personally want to thank everyone for not only their patience, but for contributing to the long term success of the guild, including every official member within our ranks. Today is a beautiful day folks. Let's go ahead and unveil this milestone for @greetersguild shall we?!* ___ ![divders6.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYtNMYkPfEVWxnzF2bnr2N4oqmkWjt78LwMLP5Rv5FqvK/divders6.png) ___ **WHAT IS THE WRITER'S GUILD INITIATIVE?** === Quite simply put, "The Writer's Guild" initiative is a new implementation to the @greetersguild that promotes positive growth within the guild and outside of the guild, namely in the areas where new Steemit users (newbies) tend to struggle with personal and professional growth. The founder of The Steemit Greeters Guild, @terminallyill, thought long and hard for a means of producing quality content within the guild, all while giving our writers a change to grow and spread their wings. It wasn't long before it dawned on him that the best way to do so, would be to assemble a team of talented writers to take on such a task, and provide them the direction they need to carry such a project in full force across the platform. This is where "The Writer's Guild" was born. Aside from being a clever new implementation, "The Writer's Guild" is a great opportunity for guild members to be promoted to a higher tier for their contributions, a great way for guild members to receive additional rewards for their contributions through becoming beneficiaries as the authors of material in this initiative and it is an excellent way for upcoming members to really spread their wings and grow in ways one may not have been able to prior to engaging with this project. From it's conceptualization to our official launch today, the vision has remained clear and the mission is simple. Provide some of the best quality material on the Steemit platform all while supporting the growth of the community and the guild. When we say quality content, we mean content with some backbone and some structure, that serves a greater purpose in the community, **NOT JUST THE DAILY POSTING OF GARBAGE MEMES OR ONE LINERS EVERY SINGLE DAY** with the selfish intention of **ABUSING THE REWARDS POOL**. What we mean is that we are looking to promote quality content that is a positive contributor to the growth of the platform and the people in it. Any and all content promoted and pushed through this guild will be of the utmost quality, day in and day out, contributing to the greater good of everyone involved. We thrive off of seeing this platform grow, and growth is promoted with **REAL QUALITY MATERIAL** as well as personal growth. This is just the beginning and the sky is the limit in terms of growth potential. So, that about sums it up. At The Steemit Greeters Guild, we don't just talk the talk, we walk the walk! With that being said, below are the articles that are on our launch schedule, including each person assigned to each one. Also included in this article is the basic structure of "The Writer's Block", shedding some light on how this amazing implementation is going to work in terms of putting us all off on a better foot forward. Read along my friends! ___ ![divders6.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYtNMYkPfEVWxnzF2bnr2N4oqmkWjt78LwMLP5Rv5FqvK/divders6.png) ___ ![PicsArt_05-13-08.28.36.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUSj8n1EWbSFdE4qYsX9DTat5WaFPbZFp9hnC93p5tABp/PicsArt_05-13-08.28.36.png) ___ **THE SGG NEWBIE SPOTLIGHT** === The SGG Newbie Spotlight is a DAILY publication presented by the @greetersguild that will showcase the Steemit accounts of 3 to 5 quality, upcoming NEW community members with a reputation score of less than 40. The purpose of this publication is to grab the attention of the rest of the community and to help these new users gain the networking, reputation, spotlight and hopefully, rewards, that they deserve. ___ ***THE SCHEDULED POSTINGS ARE AS FOLLOWS*** ___ Monday - @terminallyill Tuesday - @magicalmoonlight Wednesday - @gracefavour Thursday - @firststeps Friday - @tryskele Saturday - @focusnow Sunday - @focusnow ___ ![divders6.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYtNMYkPfEVWxnzF2bnr2N4oqmkWjt78LwMLP5Rv5FqvK/divders6.png) ___ ![SSG_curation.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTp2qfXyqzKtzLSZjQc7eD4cHDqrvGsMNxzyiyGe2jckc/SSG_curation.png) ___ **THE SGG CURATION SPOTLIGHT** === Much like the above mentioned series of articles, The SGG Curation Spotlight is also another daily publication presented by the guild. The purpose of this article is to list a minimum of 3 (ideally we will list 5) quality articles from new users with a reputation score of under 40. Currently, we will utilize functions and roles of our current group structure (Scouts) to provide some aid in doing these articles, but these are an absolute must for us to assemble out Curation Crew (the next implementation) and properly begin to curate the lower ranks of the platform. ___ ***THE SCHEDULED POSTINGS ARE AS FOLLOWS*** ___ Monday - @terminallyill Tuesday - @magicalmoonlight Wednesday - @terminallyill &@tryskele Thursday - @terminallyill & @monajam Friday - @magicalmoonlight & @slobberchops Saturday - @gracefavour Sunday - @gracefavour ___ ![divders6.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYtNMYkPfEVWxnzF2bnr2N4oqmkWjt78LwMLP5Rv5FqvK/divders6.png) ___ ![PicsArt_05-13-09.30.35.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVN68PBedYiPGiPjLZNby3A8umZHUFhghh6aGLtJvjvQK/PicsArt_05-13-09.30.35.png) ___ **MONDAY EXCLUSIVE - NEW GUILD MEMBERS** === Every Monday the guild we present the newest official members of @greetersguild on a weekly basis in a formal publication, showcasing them to the community with much pride. Their current positions will be announced as well as a small write up on who they are and their contributions to the community at large. This is meant only for those members who successfully pass training and are promoted from Trainee to a higher position. ___ ***THE SCHEDULED POSTINGS ARE AS FOLLOWS*** ___ Monday Exclusive - @terminallyill ___ ![divders6.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYtNMYkPfEVWxnzF2bnr2N4oqmkWjt78LwMLP5Rv5FqvK/divders6.png) ___ ![PicsArt_05-13-09.40.31.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmf1D53Lfkg4CNyU4DSCtkWYPcCJgzfBV9sbEyEEodskvo/PicsArt_05-13-09.40.31.jpg) ___ **TUESDAY EXCLUSIVE - COMMUNITY NEWS UPDATE** === This is a Tuesday exclusive article that is designed to present important community updates and information to the guild and other members of the community. This is where our writers can really showcase not only their ability to present quality content, but show how well they can mingle within the community and provide quality research regarding things going on around us on Steemit. ___ ***THE SCHEDULED POSTINGS ARE AS FOLLOWS*** ___ Tuesday Exclusive - @firststeps ___ ![divders6.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYtNMYkPfEVWxnzF2bnr2N4oqmkWjt78LwMLP5Rv5FqvK/divders6.png) ___ ![PicsArt_05-13-10.47.18.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmY3FDK7FKNyTQP7By4CcYmNzdf4tCR3p1ypHydvLzmbwG/PicsArt_05-13-10.47.18.png) ___ **WEDNESDAY EXCLUSIVE - THE GREETERS GUILD GAZETTE** === This is the Wednesday exclusive, a publication to be run on a weekly basis coordinated with leaders and other members of the guild to announce any important news, updates, upcoming votes and much more. This is going to be one of the most important articles the guild produces, and likely may need a co-op team to work on it. This is at the discretion of the writer that steps up for this one. Everything SGG, week to week, can be expected to be found in this article. ___ ***THE SCHEDULED POSTINGS ARE AS FOLLOWS*** ___ Wednesday Exclusive - @thedarkhorse ___ ![divders6.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYtNMYkPfEVWxnzF2bnr2N4oqmkWjt78LwMLP5Rv5FqvK/divders6.png) ___ ![PicsArt_05-13-11.04.10.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTkRNwZqgwovEZJPKu6CrdNPCHDRz9oikFi6e61JKemh6/PicsArt_05-13-11.04.10.png) ___ **THURSDAY EXCLUSIVE - GUILD MEMBER SPOTLIGHT** === The Thursday exclusive is a spotlight article for our own SGG members, giving them a piece of the pie and a substantial part of the pub that comes with joining the group. We will be listing our top performing SGG members in this publication weekly, giving information on their works, including at least one link to a great article of theirs that has not passed payout, to help them gain rewards and interaction. We will also list the weekly guild member who receives the 7.5 sbd curation from @thundercurator, compliments of the guild.

In this article we are listing information and links to ALL contests run by SGG members and associates, giving the readers and opportunity to join in on as many as possible and find incredible growth opportunities. Anyone that has contests running, please contact @greetersguild or one of the leaders such as @terminallyill or @ntowl to be added to the list each week! This one here is a **KEY** player to seeing our platform and community grow! ___ ***THE SCHEDULED POSTINGS ARE AS FOLLOWS*** ___ Friday Exclusive - @terminallyill & @monajam ___ ![divders6.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYtNMYkPfEVWxnzF2bnr2N4oqmkWjt78LwMLP5Rv5FqvK/divders6.png) ___ ![PicsArt_05-13-11.37.41.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmb1JsKjiSxsq3idGVd8cmXyh7Hokzq4nhcctWrUXhXwSZ/PicsArt_05-13-11.37.41.jpg) ___ **SATURDAY EXCLUSIVE - SGG WEEKLY MOTIVATION** === The Saturday publication is another weekly piece provided by SGG that is dedicated to seeing others grow and progress on a positive note. This article is fairly cut and dry. Within the confines of this publication, we are going to provide motivational material, quotes, stories, anything that will help the readers become motivated and potentially change their lives for the better. We have room for personal interviews of success and such as well, which should serve as great food for thought ;). Let's make this article something people look forward to every week! ___ ***THE SCHEDULED POSTINGS ARE AS FOLLOWS*** ___ Saturday Exclusive - @tryskele & @royaltiesboss-eu ___ ![divders6.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYtNMYkPfEVWxnzF2bnr2N4oqmkWjt78LwMLP5Rv5FqvK/divders6.png) ___ ![PicsArt_05-14-12.22.34.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmX8nDRK4nUrYNuBaQkQsztoKdPZYfoqKEXrRKFiFtup4V/PicsArt_05-14-12.22.34.jpg) ___ **SUNDAY EXCLUSIVE - SUNDAY RESTEEM INITIATIVE** === This is the final exclusive weekly publication up for grabs and is a co-op between SGG and our sister group @newbieresteemday. On this day, the group as a whole first and foremost should dedicate to resteeming other user's material that deserve some further pub and spotlight, namely new users. IF every single member of SGG were to resteem at least 5 articles, we could easily surpass 100 resteems in this single day, so let's go ahead and aim for a minimal of 5 per person on Sundays. Aim for quality new user content and guild member content ;) Now, the article itself will contain 10 resteemed articles and will be produced to draw extra traffic to those articles. Make sure that these articles are the best of the best that we are resteeming, or the most deserving. We want to try to limit these to new users, however there can be certain exceptions. ___ ***THE SCHEDULED POSTINGS ARE AS FOLLOWS*** ___ Sunday Exclusive - @terminallyill & @gracefavour ___ ![divders6.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYtNMYkPfEVWxnzF2bnr2N4oqmkWjt78LwMLP5Rv5FqvK/divders6.png) ___ ![PicsArt_05-14-10.26.34.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTzjGXwT7DTV7YBRzjexVNiemKzmtgtDf9hRQTVL4NijH/PicsArt_05-14-10.26.34.png) ___ **HOW IS THIS INITIATIVE STRUCTURED?** === This is likely the easiest portion of the entire ordeal. First and foremost, to understand the inner workings of the initiative, one must understand that this initiative is in place to promote growth across the platform in many areas, including the production of high quality content. To start off, @terminallyill has worked hard to design templates for ease of production of these articles, which will prove to be a blessing for all involved. Along with help from the amazing @ntowl, these templates will be solidified and secured as the go to source for our writers to have a building block to work from. Each writer who applies for a position and is promoted to a "Guild Writer" will be added to a higher tier (Tier 3) of membership, which contains exclusive rewards, automatic upvotes from the guild (which is sitting at 4500SP currently) and much more for their efforts. These writers will be assigned certain tasks/writings to which they then produce to the best of their abilities. That's not it. Keep on reading! After the writers have completed their writing tasks, they will then coordinate with @ntowl in a private room on our SGG discord server that is in place for reviewing of the material prior to posting on the SGG blog. Once @ntowl (or @terminallyill if she is not available) have cleared them for production and made any necessary changes, if at all needed, they will then be posted to the @greetersguild page. Each author has rights to promote their own brand through footers and visual material, as well as use designated areas in the templates to link their Steemit user names. With everyone on board, @greetersguild is looking at producing a minimum of 3 publications per day. This number will grow, as ALL members of the guild are welcomed to make suggestions regarding new material and such for the benefit of everyone involved. From the rewards on these said posts, our authors and management, as well as the guild, will see monetary gain and such from these writings. After payout to the guild, SBD will be divided out as such. 15% will be paid to the management overseeing the posts (@ntowl for the most part unless there is relief), 25% will go directly to the writers and 60% will go directly into the @greetersguild communal fund, a fund set aside to lease SP for members as well as the guild, making the self supporting upvote system we use more profitable for all official members and enabling more rapid growth patterns inside of the ranks of the guild. Please note, as these publications become more consistent and the popularity of them climb, increasing the payouts, the percentages will gradually rise in the favor of our writers and management. For now, our success as a group is the main goal and it is our duty as a guild to work together to see this happen. So, let us make this initiative grow exponentially. The more fruit it can bear, the better we all can eat as a family! ![divders6.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYtNMYkPfEVWxnzF2bnr2N4oqmkWjt78LwMLP5Rv5FqvK/divders6.png) **HOW CAN YOU JOIN OR SUPPORT THIS INITIATIVE?** === Interested in joining in or supporting our newest launch? Speak to one of our leaders today and share your thoughts. We are always looking for new ideas for publications/articles and talented new writers to join us and help grow this amazing project. We also have a need for consistent support from upvotes and resteems in the community, as the material produced by @greetersguild is going to be solely to help build other members of the Steemit community. As always, your moral support, spreading the word about the SGG and generally helping us accomplish our missions, are all priceless in my opinion. All help and support is appreciated, greatly, and a very special thank you goes out to all of our writers and guild members who have made this project a success before it has even left the ground! You guys and gals ROCK! ___ ![divders6.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYtNMYkPfEVWxnzF2bnr2N4oqmkWjt78LwMLP5Rv5FqvK/divders6.png) ___ **WANT TO SEE THIS BECOME A SUCCESS?** === ***CONTACT @TERMINALLYILL BY CLICKING ON THE PHOTO BELOW*** [![Screenshot_2018-05-21-14-10-15-1(1).png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUjttxayBCxYf2vPm88A6MKuv2MZiDVXKc277AzMtD1B7/Screenshot_2018-05-21-14-10-15-1(1).png)](https://steemit.com/@terminallyill) ***OR CONTACT @NTOWL BY CLICKING ON THE PHOTO BELOW*** [![Screenshot (255).png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPVVRmR3LXKyUctUHcpy3uzxdkAoEySYsbdepdsUt7WLM/Screenshot%20(255).png)](https://steemit.com/@ntowl) [![footers_learn3.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQzzFQgSMedTnVwvwXUxbGwsqz2YBRvJFXrXoqWF6VkCZ/footers_learn3.png)](https://discord.gg/AkzNSKx) ![terminallyill_blue.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmea41CDrLJgLURe6gih2yfZCTudS4pvnvKNYYsuMbvmqR/terminallyill_blue.png) ![thealliance_logo.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmduxDwwJUtRgQNnCtTeYXPgRogA1c2THrBFk3j7K5iHus/thealliance_logo.png) [![footers_learn.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXgugAakokDyJk6FWHhAEmzgvYyzN9rrcNpyXfi96Ju6K/footers_learn.png)](https://discord.gg/AkzNSKx)
