Week 11: 7-Day Steemit Income Building Weekly Accountability (SIBWA) Challenge

Hi there again, Steem Fam,

Happy brand new week in May 2018 to you!

Are you excited about publishing your posts then sharing them here for us to show our love and support for your work?

It is time for yet another fun Challenge to build the posting and commenting socialization habits that are the foundation for success here on Steemit.

Welcome to Week 11 of our 7-Day Steemit Income Building Weekly Accountability (SIBWA) Challenge.

Let's breathe in gratitude for all the miracles that come together every day to allow us to create and publish our posts online:

• our favorite devices
• internet connection
• physical energy
• mental focus
• emotional balance
• intuitive guidance
• this Steemit blogging platform and community
• all those who come to read/listen/watch our creations and Bless us with their upvotes and comments

Miracles surround us each and every moment!

So let's take that deep breath of gratitude and dive in...

A personal note and Thank You

My work here on Steemit is supported by so many.

I'd like to especially Thank those who take the time to visit occasionally to upvote and comment and encourage.

Thank you so much to those who keep me company here in this Challenge. It is always so encouraging and fun to share this Steemit blog publishing journey in this daily sharing of upvote/comment love with others via this Challenge.

As I also begin to understand more and more about Discord, I'd also like to Thank all the new friends and teachers I'm meeting and interacting with there.

I wouldlike to pay special tribute to the following Steemians who give constant financial support each and every day. Their daily support gifts me with that special miracle of earning and having to click that 'Claim Rewards' button almost every day now.

SP Delegation To Me:

***@SpiritualMax - my first Steemit mentor during my very first few days here on Steemit who then turned around and delegated 100 SP to me. Out of the blue, with not even a mention of a time limit.

He is also a straight talker and very intuitive in the mentoring he offers me and the four other Steemians he adopted and gave 100 SP delegations to at the same time. He is a passionate Steemian who is now diligently using his steem earnings to pay for his upcoming wedding next year.

Thank you so much, Sir Max for your amazing encouragement, trust, faith and unconditional support. Your kindness still blows me away every time.

AutoUpvote Of All My Posts:

***@Daltono - the first yogi I connected with here on Steemit in my first week or so who constantly inspires me with his beautifully executed yoga asanas with matching quotes, makes me laugh with his silly jokes and is just a truly gracious person.

@JoanneReid - fellow author whom I knew before Steemit who is publishing up a Kindle storm. Joanne is a bundle of quick wit, straight talk and ready, warm encouragement who publishes both fiction and non-fiction books.

Thank you so much for your daily upvote love, Dalton and Joanne! Words cannot express my Thanks for your loyalty and trust.

Special note for new Challenge visitors thinking of participating

We'd love to have you come join us!

I will upvote your post submission comment here on this Challenge page that you submit each day of the Challenge.

Also, if your post is one of the two posts that I visit in exchange for each daily post I myself submit in the Challenge, I will upvote and comment that post too.

This Challenge is especially suited for you...

If you are not yet publishing one post and fifteen comments consistently each day and you would like to do so, we would love to support and cheer you on here in our weekly Challenge as you do that.

Use the Challenge as your safe, friendly accountability space as you practice doing that each week.

If you are already publishing one post and fifteen comments consistently and would like to increase to two posts and 30 comments daily, we would love to support and cheer you on here in our weekly Challenge as you do that.

Again, think of this weekly Challenge as your own safe accountability space to play with other participants while you practice publishing more regularly.

IF you are visiting this Challenge for the first time, Thank You for stopping by. Would you like to have some company as you post away here on Steemit?

The water is warm. Jump right on in...

°º¤øº°°°º¤øº¤øº°°°º¤øº°

So a quick recap:

This Challenge is about:

• increasing the daily income you earn here on Steemit from publishing posts and comments daily
• having a structured, friendly, safe and supportive space here on Steemit to post your daily links and comment total numbers
• helping you be accountable... to you
• being excited to be accomplishing your Steemit daily goals
• contributing consciously and intentionally each day to this wonderful Steemit platform we are all Blessed to be a part of
• receiving the 100% support of fellow Challenge participants along with the wider Steemit community as you accomplish each daily Win
• sharing the same daily posting/commenting goals as other participants in a joint group effort to expand both our contribution and reach within this huge Steemit universe
• having fun

For anyone who may happen by after today while this week's 7-Day Challenge is in progress, you can join in at any time.

So don't worry if when you're reading this you've missed a few days. Just jump in and start adding your post and comment links. Then come back next Sunday to start from scratch when next week's Challenge kicks off.

If you are an old hat from previous weeks, Thank you for participating and Welcome again.

We'll keep learning as we're doing and will fine-tune the Challenge as we go.

°º¤øº°°°º¤øº¤øº°°°º¤øº°

For now, here's what we've got:

The Challenge is run on the honor system.

You post one of your daily links in exchange for making two comments on posts submitted by other participants. So two relevant, quality comments per post that you submit.

IF there are NOT enough participants for you to get your two comments for each of your daily posts done within the Challenge:

• comment on participant posts first
• comment on posts outside of the Challenge after
• post links for your two inside comments under the relevant daily post
• post links for the balance of your 10-15 daily 'outside' comments under the relevant daily post OR just tally them up and put the total

Also, very importantly, please:

• USE 'accountability' as one of your tags for the posts you're going to submit for the Challenge.

Besides it making your post easier for Challenge supporters to find, it will make your posts more visible as it's a tag that's not filled with millions of other posts.

It is also a term that's highly regarded in many niches and areas of interest and often searched for as 'accountability' has now officially become a thing. Searches for it will only increase over time both off and within Steemit itself

• ADD 'SIBWA Challenge' somewhere in the TITLE of the daily post you're submitting to this week's Challenge. More peeps going down their timeline will open it out of curiosity because they won't know what the heaven it is

Ok, let's dive down now into the Challenge Prep Steps and the Challenge Daily Action Steps so we can get off of this page and get going with today's Challenge tasks. ;)

Special Note:

If you'd like to just jump right on in or are not clear after reading the below guide on how to add your links during the Challenge, just follow my lead in the comment section below.

I will post in the comments and upvote it to stay at the top so that you can just follow my example and add your "I'm IN!!!" and post and comment links each day.

°º¤øº°°°º¤øº¤øº°°°º¤øº°

CHALLENGE PREP ACTION STEPS
(for INITIAL BETA MODE)

These are the immediate steps to take now to participate in this week's Challenge:

A. These three basic steps all help increase visibility for this post and the posts you publish and link to here each day during the week:

1. UPVOTE this post (not mandatory but appreciated, helps attract more Challenge Family members)
2. COMMENT to hold your space by saying "I'm IN".
3. RESTEEM this post if you can (not mandatory but also appreciated)

B. HOW to help keep this Challenge post tidy

1. 'Reply' to your own "I'm IN" comment:
2. TYPE in 'Day 1 Posts':
3. HIT 'Enter' so it becomes a sub-comment to your original "I'm In" comment.
4. HIT 'Reply' under your 'Day #' comment and type in 'Two comments to earn this Day # post' then click 'Submit'.
5. HIT 'Reply' under your 'Day #' comment again and type in 'Day # Comments Total = ' then click 'Submit'.
6. Do the EXACT SAME THING for EACH of the next few days, all the way up to Day 7, so that EACH Day # has its OWN 'Reply' that falls directly under your FIRST ORIGINAL "I'm IN" comment

Don't worry, it may sound harder than it is when you start doing it. Once I've published this post, I will do mine at the top and show you so you can see it. ;)

Ok, that's the set-up for each of your seven days of link and comment posting for this week's 7-Day Challenge.

This will help you post your links and comments quickly during the week when you may be in a rush.

Now let's get in to the daily action steps...

°º¤øº°°°º¤øº¤øº°°°º¤øº°

DAILY CHALLENGE ACTION STEPS
(for INITIAL BETA MODE)

AFTER you have completed the Challenge PREP Steps above, move on to:

A. SUBMIT YOUR FIRST CHALLENGE POST LINK
UNDER your Day 1 sub-comment:

1. Click 'REPLY'
2. INSERT your FIRST Challenge post link and click 'SUBMIT'

B. UPVOTE/QUALITY COMMENT 2 POSTS BY FELLOW CHALLENGE PARTICIPANTS

1. Go ahead and upvote/quality comment TWO posts by different participants to cover the FIRST Challenge post you entered
2. For EACH set of upvote/quality comment you do, RETURN to your FIRST post link in this Challenge thread and let the author know that you upvoted and quality commented
3. AFTER finishing your FIRST ROUND of TWO upvotes/quality comments to cover your FIRST Challenge post link submitted for the day:

• RETURN to your FIRST post link submission comment for that day
• CLICK Reply under it
• INSERT the links for EACH of the TWO comments you made in exchange for posting your first Challenge post link
  (Just right-click on the time thingy of your first comment you made on another participant's post, choose 'Copy' and insert that comment link back on this post as a reply to where you entered YOUR own post link)

This will MAKE IT CLEAR to all other participants which two comments you made in exchange for your FIRST post link

SEE my Day 1 example if the above is not clear.

C. UPVOTE/QUALITY COMMENT 11 OTHER POSTS

1. Go ahead and continue with ONE set of upvote/quality comment to meet your 10-15 daily comment total within the Challenge if there are enough participants, or outside of the Challenge when you've commented on all participant posts available for that week
2. RETURN to the post link in this Challenge thread and let the author know that you upvoted and quality commented as part of your extra comment round
3. RETURN to your relevant Day sub-comment at end of your day, hit 'Reply' and insert the number of comments you did for the day

That's IT!

Have FUN this week making friends and leaving love on each post you visit.

Even if your steem power is low so your upvote doesn't have a lot of $$ value, the 'heart value' of your upvotes and quality comments is priceless!
