Hi all,
It’s been a bit over two months now that I have joined Steemit and I’ve recently passed the 250 followers mark. My witness is also growing and is half way to pay off my server rental.
I’d like to say thank you for your support and give back to the community while still allowing myself to grow.
So today, I’m launching a small contest for Minnow and Plankton level users. The idea is that instead of me just throwing a one time SBD amount at the contest, I will make it a long term investment by buying the winners a share for a lifetime upvote from @steembasicincome created by @josephsavage.
In a nutshell Steem Basic Income is the Universal Basic Income applied to Steem. When you send 1 STEEM to @steembasicincome you can nominate someone else and both of you will receive a lifetime upvote from one of their bots. Hopefully, as STEEM price increases, these small upvotes will become valuable in the future maybe enough for every participants to be able to have a minimum income. For now, any upvote is good to take when you are a Minnow or a Plankton.
Here are the requirements for this contest:
- you need to be a Minnow or lower level, I will check with @steemitboard here
- you need a reputation level of 25 or higher. More reputation level requirements below.
- accepted languages: English, Vietnamese and French
- you need to upvote this post as all SBD will go to one winner!
- you don’t have to resteem but it will help increase visibility and hopefully increase the winning price, see below.
- I would appreciate a follow from you if you appreciate my content. But please note that I only follow back if you consistently write quality content and interact with me.
- I’m a witness, you don’t have to vote for me but if you like what I have done so far for the community, I will appreciate your support, go to the bottom of the following page, type

Prizes and rules
Price #1 (4 winning spots)
This is an easy one and requires a reputation level of at least 40 to participate. This to prove you have been doing the right thing so far.
This price contains 4 shares (1 per winner) of #steembasicincome two of which I reserve to the #vn Vietnamese community. To participate, please add a comment to this post and tell me something about you: where you are from, what kind of content you post on Steemit, what you do for hobby etc...
Price #2 (1 winning spot)
This is a writing contest to allow good content writer to get something even if they have a low reputation.
Write a post on your favourite topic and post a link here. I will read your posts and decide who’s the winner based on how I enjoyed the read and on the quality of the content: well written, well formatted, easy to ready, source to quotes and images added (plagiarists will be disqualified). The single winner will get all the SBD from this post (so upvote and, if possible resteem to increase its payout and your price). If the author reward is less than 2 SBD, then I will add 2 SBD of my own. If you have not won the price #1 you will also get one share to the #steembasicincome
Price #3 (2 winning spots)
You’re not good at writing or not good enough there at English, you still can win a little something to help you while you improve your writing skills. I will draw a random upvoter and the winner will get 1 STEEM.
It is technically possible for one person to win the more than one price.
Other ways Minnows can get help from
Minnow Support Project (MSP)
This community service created by @aggroed (witness) has helped a lot of Minnows, including me. They have a Discord channel called PAL (Peace, Abundance and Liberty). Join there server (http://minnowsupportproject.org/discord/) and have access to great help including their upvote channel where @minnowsupport will upvote your content but also local teams such as @teamaustralia where you can discuss with local Steemians.
@Curie curation
@curie is hands down the most popular content curation service on the Steem blockchain. They help content creator that are struggling getting a good payout despite writing quality content. They have an army of curators that go find and assess content from undiscovered authors.
Utopian.io Rewarding open source contributors with Steem
If you have programming skills the @utopian-io will help you grow real quick on the Steem blockchain. But it’s not all about programming, you could raise bugs, do amdata analysis, write project proposals and more and get rewarded for them. My highest payout was $147 with and average of around $60.
The @centerlink from @teamaustralia
If you are from Australia, you should join the PAL Discord server and get onto the #team-australia and ask @choogirl for the process for becoming a member and receive upvotes from @centerlink, an initiative from @austbitbank (witness)
@Qurator quality content curation service
I recently helped the team setting up their witness server and they went flying the ranking ladder. There was no surprise here, @qurator has helped many quality content creators get noticed amongst all the upvoted craps, spams and plagiarisms posts. If you write good content and want a little boost, check them out. Here is a description post:
Qurator 3.0
SteemSchool.net
SteemSchool has been created by @valorforfreedom (another witness I helped) who is another great supporter of the Planktons and Minnows. He has been creating posts and videos every day non-stop, teaching how to create better content and how to become a better person yourself. They are running a weekly contest where you can win 100 SP delegation for one week, see their Minnow Support Saturday page for more details.
