Pay It Forward Contest Week 3 Entry by fitinfun
Entry #10
If you could make sure to put a direct link to one of the blog posts for each blogger next week that would be great. Idea being to really help one post & increases likelihood of people actually visiting IMO.Leaving my mistake, but lining it out.
I have one link for each! Let me know if I'm not doing it right.
Yup, I need some sleep. Sorry about that. You do have links and I just missed them.
My mom just woke me up to see this post lol. Now she will help me get mine done. I have my people picked out!

Pay it forward entry #3
https://steemit.com/payitforward/@wolfhart/my-entry-for-week-3-pay-it-forward-curation-contest
my entries are all sailors and sailing Blogs . A little change . being more specific to a catagory
Entry #12.
That IS a good idea, wolfhart. I accidentally ended up with 2 bloggers from South Africa, and wondered if I was on a roll with that, when an Aussie popped in.
It amazes me on how many people from all over and different interest come together here .
Yes, I agree. One of the beauties of the Steemit platform.
Congratulations for entering @wolfhart and what a cool idea to choose based on a sailing theme! Looking forward to reading your post :)
It has a really big following on youtube . here not so much . I did not realize how small it was . So it's an area that has huge upswing potential for the platform .
Oh that's awesome. I'm playing "catch-up" today, so I'll have a look at it tomorrow :)
Good thinking buddy!

We are starting to see people visiting each others posts and giving some upvotes!!! If you have time please do the same and lets really make this contest help everyone involved.

So glad you entered @bashadow :)

Thank you @thedarkhorse for this amazing opportunity. It is probably one of the best contests I have seen around and my first at best.
I love the message and concept behind it and it would be an honor to be surrounded by such noble minds as yourself and your team.
It is motivating to see people who are supportive of the platform and people who are willing to make a positive impact. Indeed they were right when they say be the change you want to see in the world.

My pleasure really. Nothing is impossible, just keep doimg what you are doing.
What a beautiful comment @elsiekjay! I can see how @sherbanu is so affected by you :)
Thank you so much honey. I try to write from my heart and give my most honest opinion even though it has landed me in abit of trouble afew times, I just feel lifes to short to say and do things that you don't truly mean.
As for @Sherbanu, she's just an amazing person. It's people like her who are determined to conqur all odds that make the life we live worth while, on my low days I just need to hop on her blog and feel challenged & re-charged😅
You are hard to forget. I will never forget you @lynncoyle1, your story left a really huge mark in me.
Awww thank you @elsiekjay! If you are in a position to love, then do so with your whole being...that's the kind of "mark" I want to leave on you and everyone else here for that matter. Thank you again for saying such a kind thing!

Entry #3
Note there was a little confusion with this entry, but I'm considering it valid for this week.
Everyone make sure your entries are of Level 50 and below reputation score steemians who a producing quality content. Goal is to highlight smaller/newer members that deserve a little boost to their great works.
thank you very much @thedarkhorse . next time my entry must be correct .. thanks again
We all make mistakes and they should just be treated as an opportunity to learn. This one doesn't hurt anything and you did a great job on featuring 3 steemians...even if they are big names...lol.
then i am ready for week 3 contest
would the little fish stand a chance against the enormous whales? hmmm ...

Entry #6
@thedarkhorse - I have just seen the comment by @leeart that we have featured the same steemian in our entries and since his entry is #4 and mine #6, I am willing to replace her if that is required or decided. Please let me know.
It's not needed to change anything IMO. You curated who you like and so did they. You are each reaching a different audience with your followers and except for a few of us that visit all the entries I doubt that many people will notice this.
Thanks for clearing it up :)
So glad you entered this week again @freedomshift and for the record, I think it's awesome that you and @leeart chose the same person in your entries! It just makes me all the more curious to go have a look and find out why :)
I wanted to do so the previous night, last Tuesday, but thought I was not able to do so because of my lower reputation score.
Then, I tried to reach out on the discord chat:
https://discordapp.com/channels/430403593590407178/430403593590407180
I was just glad that the rules have been changed to allow her to be featured in my entry.
If you leave a message in Discord, you need to "tag" us in it; I went and had a look and saw your question, but you only said "thedarkhorse" and not "@thedarkhorse". If you tag someone, then @ginabot notifies us (or steemworld.org does the same), so we can then come there and respond.
If you don't know what either of those are, please ask me, because they are both very necessary tools to have at your disposal, in my humble opinion ;)
Anyway, I'm glad it got sorted out in the end!!
It's funny because I curate for @asapers and saw that exact same post of hers too :)
I was in a hurry ...
and, I am still relatively new ...
;-)
Oh please don't take what I said as criticism, I was trying to help you. @ginabot is amazing, if you don't have her yet. She notifies you whenever your name is mentioned on Discord or steemit. Actually @energyaddict22 did a post on it about 10 days ago; check it out, you won't regret it :)
Gina works for Discord too??? No way! I gotta check that out. BTW I found this comment because you said @ginabot and I got a notification based on my preferences :)
Thanks for this - @ginabot and https://steemworld.org/:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@energyaddict22/steemit-essentials-the-sexiest-bot-on-the-internet
I am putting the url here to make it easy to find it again.
She deserves the attention. She posts interesting photos and blogs. I want to enter again but I am slacking in hunting new ones :D
Ah sometimes we all need a little break! There's always next week too :)
Congratulations! Your submission earned you 0.105 SBD from this bounty. You have received 0.091 SBD from the creator of the bounty and 0.014 SBD from the community!
Thank you for including me with Entry #21
Participate in this contest is a huge Lifeguard for all new users like me (participants and 3 bloggers), because provides to all newbies the oportunity to show the way we see the life. But, there is another important thing, the fact that not only focuses on give us some visibility, the contest promote the creation of quality content. Is a win win.
Maybe i am wrong, but is significant to a new user, view a comment in your newbie post with a postulation to a contest of quiality content. More when you have a lot of replies in your post, and the 80% is about promos and "follow me and I follow you".
Glad to hear that you enjoyed doing the contest and hope that you keep it up each week. With the growth of this contest and the positive feedback we are getting my plan is to keep it going for some time.
Feel like we can build a strong little community of like minded #payitforward thinking steemians that will all be able to help each other grow. We can learn from each other and support each other.
The spammers and scammers...they never seem to die off. A major game of whack a mole. Anyone that says follow me and I'll follow you is someone you shouldn't bother following. Only follow those that create good content that is of interest to you. To many of those that use the follow me approach are building up a massive account to try and profit from selling resteems.
I am so glad that you find this contest helpful and also worthwhile! It is wonderful to help and support people here and watch them flourish and grow. That's why I love this contest so much and am honored that @thedarkhorse asked me to be a part of it. It is based on generosity and a pay it forward attitude; two lives that I live my real life like as well!
Thank you for your kind comment here; it is much appreciated!

Thank you for the entry @udywriter; I'm interested in reading who you chose to feature!
This week I'm in again :) ...Here is my entry :
https://steemit.com/payitforward/@psionic-tremors/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-3-by-thedarkhorse
Entry #2 - All those you featured have been upvoted as has your entry post! Great Job finding 3 Intro Posts to feature!!!
Hooray! You entered again @psionic-tremors:) I look forward to reading your choices!
Here is my entry for this week - featuring this awesome artist - and two photographers!
https://steemit.com/payitforward/@viking-ventures/my-entry-for-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-3
Entry #1
BTW, I love the rule changes for this week!
(And it seems I'm the first entry... lol - this is such a fun contest that I saw no point in putting it off!)
Let me know what you think of the way I'm listing the entries at the bottom of the post. Hope everyone checks this out this week and helps upvote all entries and featured bloggers. We can really turn this into something in 20, 30, 40+ people all help each other out each week.
Thanks so much for re-listing entries on the main post. You have made my job soooooo much easier.
I think that's awesome! So we don't have to sift through all the entries. I also appreciate knowing who needs my votes - as small as they are.
Every penny counts when it gets stacked on top of other votes.
That's a really good idea @thedarkhorse! Nice job ;)
I think they even the playing field out a little and remove the challenges of a brand new person finding smaller steemians to feature. Plus the great idea of the Judges picking an extra winner (thanks @energyaddict22) makes the effort of those finding great people to feature have an added chance of getting rewarded.
The contest will keep evolving and I'll likely add in a twist each week to keep it interesting for all involved and hopefully force people outside their circle of friends to keep exploring steemit to find new bloggers to feature.
Way to go @viking-ventures! I'd say you're going to be a regular for as long as this contest runs :)
I sure intend to! :-)
I just noticed that I have been upvoted by a few steemians who have also submitted an entry to this contest.
As I was inspired, I have and will upvote every steemian who has submitted an entry to this and future weeks contest. My SP may not be very high, but every bit helps.
I will also add 3 SBD to next week's entries entered by current or previous steemians featured in this or previous week's entries.
I'll leave it up to the judges to decide how to distribute / allocate among them.
If this works out well, I'll do the same for the following week's contest in like manner as well.
I want it to be perfectly clear:
This bonus is available only to newbies that have been featured and is available to each only one time, for his / her first entry.
All suggestions are welcome and I reserve the right to change this offer / bonus rules before the next week's entry is posted.
The upvotes coming from other contestants can really make this become huge. Sure most of the votes are small, but as everyone grows we can end up really making a difference to each other.
So just so I'm clear on what you want to do, you want to do a bonus for only those that were featured in previous contests. You want it to be a first time bonus only.
Love that you want to do something special for those that come to the contest after being featured. It's an interesting idea to add to the rewards and really give a nice bonus to this group.
The only way I can see doing this would be to manually check to see what entries are from those that were previously entered and then double check to see if they had previously entered the contest...this sounds like a very time consuming effort.
Maybe if I can come up with a spreadsheet to track all the entries and who was featured. Even that would take a lot of time to get set up. I'll have to think on this a little bit.
Yes, exactly!
I want to give extra incentive to create this wave from a newbie that was featured to the next contestant paying it forward.
Imagine if only a small number of them took the hint or the challenge - s/he could end up with a big bonus.
It is to help newbies to overcome the inertia!
I liken this to being at a dance party and the newbies don't know anyone. Then, someone invites him or her to dance. Then, someone announced that if s/he then invite another newbie that have not been invited to dance yet, s/he can get a special prize in addition to all other prizes.
How about this:
Set the rule that their entry must include the entry url - link to the entry that they were featured. The link must be at the top stating the fact.
The entry must declare and state the rule about the bonus to indicate that rules for bonus was follower.
Anyways, I am open to suggestions, but, I think all entries should identify themselves if it is for the bonus also - it is their responsibility.
The judges could encourage the current and past participants to help their featured newbies to enter to win the bonus and help them declare their meeting the requirements for the extra bonus. Perhaps, the judges can give it a name?
I am thinking that this is "passing the relay stick" or "passing the torch" bonus. and instructions are passed by the passer to the receiver ...
I currently have 11.4 SBD and could probably do this all by myself for 4 weeks @ 3 SBD bonus each week. After that, we will see how this goes ...
I have posted the list with the nominees for this week's contest:
https://steemit.com/payitforward/@freedomshift/bonus-rules-and-list-of-entries-contestants-and-nominees-to-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-3-win-sbi-and-steem-bounty
If that works, perhaps I / we can add the two previous week's entries and nominees?
What a wonderfully selfless and generous gesture @freedomshift! Thank you so much for thinking of an awesome addition to this contest :) Way to pay it forward !!

I am proud and happy to update that one of my featured blogger 15 days ago, his day 1 has grown tremendously and his reputation score is at 45.2 on day 15. This is a recent blog:
https://steemit.com/cn/@coder-bts/gqnzm-or
He is a star already and I am glad that I found him and featured him on day 1.
Please check out his blogs and congratulate him. Perhaps, he is ready to help other steemians grow and gain recognition.
:D Thank you! Yes, I think I am ready to help other Steemians and I've been always keeping an eye on those new comers.
That is such a wonderful attitude to have @coder-bts! If everyone behaved as you do, imagine what a spectacular place this could be! Congratulations on your success, and more importantly, on who you are as a person ;)
Congrats on your early success. Hope that you continue your growth on steemit and give the contest a try!
Thanks for your recognition! I will keep a hard work and learn new things!
I hope people, especially newbies, do visit the blogs on his @coder-bts profile, including the one that he was interviewed.
Perhaps we can all learn something from this young man and future star!
Only hard part for many of us mere mortals is only being able to read English. Would love if there was a translation on the posts, but know that involves so much more effort to write something twice and don't' expect it.
Good point!
I do realize that it (translation) is or can be difficult - for example, I have mentioned the philosophical post that I decided to not translate for the blogger who I did include.
Also, Chinese can be a difficult language to understand and to translate because there are words and phrases that do not have an equivalent translation to another language.
For those who would venture into learning Chinese, you might use google translate:
https://translate.google.com/
or, just google the text with the word "translate".
I use google Chrome and it will also translate the entire page from the browser.
But, your are right that even with these tools, the translations will not be 100% or even 80% in most cases and still require the language skills of the source to make corrections and adjustments to the translation.
If anyone wish to get or spread the inside story about China, stories that you will not find in the commercial media or channels, then making an effort to translate them.
It has opened my eyes and has also been rewarding to discover talents such as those featured. I hope that they will also make an effort to translate some of their posts so as to reach a wider audience.
That's incredible for @coder-bts and thank you for your kindness and pay it forward attitude...you certainly contributed to that success :)
I am confident that with the talents, the credibility and his great attitude, that @coder-bts could be instrumental in bringing in many more talented newbie steemians.
Wonderful! And it's exactly that kind of caliber that is so welcomed here :)
Very cool to look back and see the results like that! Hope that over time we have some great success stories to share and as those featured become success stories they join in the fun and help feature other new bloggers. It can keep going full circle!
Congratulations! Your submission earned you 0.050 SBD from this bounty. You have received 0.042 SBD from the creator of the bounty and 0.008 SBD from the community!
Thank you, sir@thedarkhorse. You've created a great contest. I was able to participate in it and you marked me. Thank you for visiting all 3 bloggers I wrote about. I hope you like them. I wish great success to your competition. You are doing a very useful thing for the Steemit platform.
Hope you join us again for week 3. I love visiting all the bloggers that get featured! It's now how I'm finding new bloggers to follow and share the love with.
this is very generous and nice of you. I will definitely join you for 3 weeks. I enjoyed writing about other bloggers. It is necessary to help each other. Recommend the best. I advertise the contest in post-promotion channels in the discord.
Love being able to give back and love seeing how everyone else supports the contest. Like I said I will not pay to promote the contest as I'd rather give more back to those who enter then make the whales richer so any help spreading the word is great!
Planning on leasing more SP to increase my votes too. This should allow me to give a bigger reward to those who get featured, or at the very least let me keep the same amount if this keeps growing.
Yes I agree with you, you must to do so, as you would like and this was benefits for you. Thanks for your reply.
Hi @thedarkhorse. Am a newbie user yet XD, i was featured by @bananamemos in their entry post for the Curation Contest - Week 2
I read the rules, but i dont know when a new user can be available to join the contest. I want to join to the contest.
@bananamemos did a great job last week and won the Judges Choice SBI reward! That means the Judges felt that those featured were of very high quality which is a reflection on your featured post. Good work!
All are free to join. Everyone has the same rule, just find 3 steemians under reputation score 50 to feature.
Thanks for your interest in joining the contest and look forward to your entry!
Wow, thanks! I'm very into the UBI movement, so am very excited to have a share in steembasicincome! :-D

Intriguing idea for a contest, @thedarkhorse. I found your article via the group ASAPers, and this is an effort I can get behind! [Edited to withdraw improper contest entry.]
Hi @yekrats, both @thedarkhorse and I are fellow @asapers to, so it might be interesting to see you create a post where you draw from that group :)
Good idea, but this week & weekend are pretty terribly busy (but fun) with my second job! After Wednesday next week I should have some more free time. But until then, I'm on the fast track of crazy train.
awww the ol' crazy train. Been there my friend and completely understand the need to wait for a little sanity ;)
@yekrats to enter you need to create a post that curates the work of others. You can't enter your own work.
Oh, I'm very sorry! I misunderstood the nature of your contest. I withdraw my entry, and will try to find something that fits!
Thank you for editing your post. Hope you can find 3 steemians to feature and join in the fun.
I will try!

Great work @thedarkhorse , you can count on seeing me dropping an entry in this contest and supporting it! Awesome work!
Thanks for the support and look forward to your entry!
Hey @terminallyill! Great to see you here...this contest is right up your alley ;) I hope to see your entry here for sure. I know you are crazy busy, so just know that the contest is ongoing weekly. Cheers :)
This is an exciting initiative, @thedarkhorse. If I can manage, I should be able to submit an entry this week.
I have caught up with quiet a number of some really fine lads out there. They could do with the exposure this avails.
And those judges are sweet, @lynncoyle1!!!
Look forward to seeing your entry!
My pleasure, @thedarkhorse. Thanks
As a judge here, I obviously can't make an entry post, but it would be nice if you could use some of the folks we are curating for asapers to highlight here as well..give them an extra boost so to speak. If I'm reading between the lines properly, I'm guessing that's what you were hinting at here :)
Hahahahahh....@lynncoyle1 are you a doctor? You are always reading, and correctly, properly, i might say, between the lines.
Anyway, I should be able to do that soon enough. Thanks. I hope you are well.
hahaha It's just that great minds do think alike !! :)
I am doing fine, thank you, and I hope you are as well. Every day is a new day to be enjoyed !
True. I am well. Had a good saturday, out with a couple of friends upcountry.
That sounds so nice! Good for you :)
It is (was). Thanks
I hope to get an entry in. Just need to find time, at least I have 6 days to think about it. Hope I don't forget.
Hey @bashadow, I'm just getting to the entries now and saw this....sooooo, here's a gentle reminder my friend, to get your butt in gear and create a post haha
Thank you for the reminder, I am running out of current post it would seem, so time to do another.
Awesome! You are very welcome ;)
Look forward to seeing an entry from you! Don't think to hard, just look at those in your feed that are level 50 and below to find some quality posts. Then check out the intro feed and find 1 quality post there.
A bounty of 3.000 SBD has been set on this post by @thedarkhorse! You can read how they work here.
Hooray!! I love this concept @steem-bounty :)
Nice post and blog. Very important info. Don’t hesitate to check my blog for nice posts !!
How about you comment something relevant to the post? Better yet how about joining the contest?
The point of this contest is to encourage a pay it forward attitude @nassifelias, so asking for @thedarkhorse to check out your blog kind of goes against the entire selfless nature of what he is trying to do here. I hope you take the time to find others who deserve some attention and write a blog about them; we would love to have that post of yours as an entry here :)
thank you, but i can i still participate in the contest? @payitforward
Yes you can, the contest just started today.
Hi @emekasegun! Hope to see an entry from you as well :)
