CONTEST - THANK YOU ECONOMY WEEK 14 | 5 SBI SHARES
The Thank You Economy - Week 14 with 5 SBI Shares
It's That Time Again!
Time For Your Weekly Dose Of Heart Felt Thankfulness
Welcome to the Thank You Economy a fun and engaging project where we try to promote a sense of thankfulness. I really enjoy hosting the contest as I meet new people and awesome communities every week.
In last weeks contest we gave away 6 shares of SBI and the engagement level was a little off, we had 43 total comments and 7 entries.
I just want to Thank Everyone again who has been participating, and resteeming the posts. I'm going to make some changes this week and try to declutter the post a bit and see how this works. I had a pretty good upvote from the @blockbrothers witness on last weeks post so I'm going to run without a sponsor this week to see how it goes.
What is The Thank You Economy contest all about?(simplified version)
An Attitude of Gratitude - The Thank You Economy is simply a way to say thank you to someone who has helped you, influenced you or blessed you in some way in the Steem community. It can be tough getting started on Steemit, and the people who have been here for a while realize that. I could see community members helping out everywhere but what can new people do to show appreciation back? Not much....
That's where the idea for the Thank You Economy contest arose, I wanted to do more to say thank you.
Maybe I can do more. I thought there might be others who wanted to do the same, not to mention it's fun.
Just saying thank you to someone opens up all kinds of opportunities to interact with each other. YOU CAN THANK ANYONE YOU WOULD LIKE....
LET'S HAVE SOME FUN
On to the Contest Rules
The Base Contest - We'll keep this simple.
- Leave a comment on this post.
- In the comment tag someone who has helped you or influenced you on Steemit use the @coinsandchains format.
- Then briefly tell us why you chose them.
That's all you have to do. (upvotes, restreems and follows are appreciated though)
One thing, please do not tag bots or alt accounts.
The Prizes and Winner Selection: This Changes almost every week
2 ENTRIES WILL WIN THIS WEEK!!!!
- 1 commenters will be randomly selected by the amazing prize wheel I found. The account making the comment and the account tagged in the comment will receive one SBI share each (2 total shares).
- Most awesome or heartfelt entry - 1 commenter and their nominee will receive one SBI share each (2 total shares), this will be selected either by a guest judge or myself.
- I will also give an upvote to each valid entry, but that does not amount to much. Upvote your own comment if you would like, or if you have a @dustsweeper account it might help.

I think we can do that, I've seen a lot of great steemians with a @steemitmamas banner. LOL, I have seen a couple guys in #needleworkmonday too... If I had the time I would through something out there for it, I learned from my grandmothers...
When I get caught up with a couple things I will edit the post and add them.
You're welcome to join the #needleworkmonday community, @coinsandchains! And yasssss to #steemitmamas, thanks @brittandjosie ❤
I have been invited several times, I just don't usually take the time to sit and crochet, knit or cross-stitch. I am generally working on work or on other projects. I don't even watch TV...
It's on the list who do you want to say thank you to?
I would love to second that as well! @steemitmamas is a great group of mamas who are super supportive of eachother and of building up the blockchain. ♥♥
LOL, The motion is carried, added to the list.
Awesome!!
Yay steemitmamas!!!
We are the BEST group for moms in Steemit, basically because we are the ONLY group for moms ❤️😎🍬😍
Hey, that still counts. It's on the list. Maybe I need to start a steemitdads group... lol I doubt it would be nearly as engaging though.
ahahh. You are not the first one to mentions steemitdads or even steemitparents.
We would love a collaboration if those accounts ever pop up.
Yay! #steemitmamas! Thanks @brittandjosie for entering us in! Thanks @coinsandchains for this wonderful initiative. 😍
It's on the list and ready to go...
Have to say I am with the ladies on this one..... @steemitmamas <3
@coinsandchange the mamas are coming on strong! I think you need to be aware of Our superpowers! We hope that we can be included if you did not already notice !
LOL, It has been added to the post... @steemitmamas any entry that puts #steemitmamas in their thank you comment will be in the bonus round.
lol, I'm going to go with the ladies as well. I've been married a long time and you don't make a bunch of momas mad. It's on the list, have fun.
#steemitmamas all the way
It's on the list, have fun with the contest.
#steemitmamas will be the one. I am in and eventhough I am not active at discord but I still feel the immense support and love. 💖💖💖
Gotta love #steemitmamas, such a wonderful group of lovely ladies! Super supportive and caring, there is always a mama around willing to help!
The @steemitmammas are everywhere .... go mamas !
The biggest thanks I can give right now is @pifc, because of @thedarkhorse and @woflhart the vision I had when I started and what I wanted to do with Steemit changed directions. I had a new direct and new purpose and momentum. Having gone from a participant to a judge, my views overall changed. The amount of help and inspiration I have gotten from the group overall is overwhelming. It helped give me the confidence to post more. I still don't post as much as I should/need to. I admit like many HF20 hurt in a lot of ways. Without the support and advice, I might have given up. I still kind of feel it was done to clean house.
I used this momentum to join #asapers, #steemitbloggers, and from time to time #freewrite.
I was chosen for #TheMesopotamians and to keep up with my status I'm signed up for #PowerUp, #Engagement.
Thank you for the this contest @coinsandchains it's a great idea.
That's a great choice, and a great group of people to be involved with. I'm kind of with you on the HF stuff, It put a big dent in my stuff for a while. I can actually see the business case for it. It goes a lot deeper than just limiting spam, but I won't get into my thoughts on that here. Those are some great communities as well, I'm a member or have participated in all of them and have met a lot of great people through them.
I would like to thank @insaneworks because he told me right from the beginning to focus on posting and commenting. I sort of knew, but it would have taken me much longer otherwise to get started. Also because of the insane work to produce content and to #PayItForward.
I hope one silly pun is permitted ;)
Communities I partcipate in are #PowerUp and #Engagement

Great choice @insaneworks, looks like a lot of fun. I've been laughing for several minutes at some of his posts. LOL, I used to think I was one of the only sane people in the world, but I figured out it's a lot more fun to be crazy.
I'm good with puntastic puns, I try to participate in @improv's Punday Monday, maybe you should try it. It's always a lot of Pun...
Yes, please come join us! This has been a particularly fruitful week! Everyone loves joking about death!

He has a nice unpredictability to his postings. You never know what will come next.
I will try to have some pun! Thanks for the recommendation.

Thank you and your welcome!
Purpose of life is insane. :)
And puns.
I want to thanks @brittandjosie for letting the @blockbrothers know about something I did couple days ago, so then I saw my post reach more than $2 for the first time after the HF20 😊 I'm so grateful that she's always supporting me since I knew her 2 months ago.
I wish that the blockbrothers will reach the higher place as an influenced witness on steemit blockchain. And thanks to you too @coinsandchains 😉 for keep the thank you economy running until now.
Dear sweethart Thank you so much for the loving Words. I agree the @blockbrothers deserve a higher place in the witness ranking. So positive exposure is highly appreciated.
You do very well and I am right by your side.
Love
Britt
my big and delicious love for you too @brittandjosie 😍😘
This makes me hungry!
That is an awesome choice, @brittandjosie she is awesome and I think she will do well as their community manager. It looks like they are at 36 so just 16 more places to go to hit that coveted top 20.
Full support to them I hope 😉 Im gonna check on my proxy whether they're include or not
Highly appreciated !
Still alot more votes needed indeed!
You are going to have to start pestering the @pumpkin account, I think they have a load of proxy votes. (according to what I have read.) They don't carry much SP though...
OK, you're going to need to bear with me here, because it's going to feel like we're taking the scenic route.
My nomination is for @mellofello, without whom, I would probably not have been able to establish a foothold here on Steemit, and may well have been another to fall away and lose interest. How did it happen? I'm glad you asked (or maybe you didn't, but I'm telling you anyway).
When I was ultra green here, I was entering quite a few contests (actually I still do). This was noticed by @mellofello who tagged me in a bit of a contest compilation that @davemccoy was hosting.
This one little tag, exposed me to a wider circle of contests, interesting Steemians, and most importantly engagement. Particularly as Asher's #engagement league featured in one of the contests.
So thanks, @mellofello, I like to think that the one small pebble you tossed my way in the form of a tag, is still having s significant ripple effect.
Whoops, I better add the tags #powerup #engagement #minnowpusher
If you're still awake, thanks for reading.
I'm almost always awake.... That is an awesome story, it looks like @mellofello loves playing games. It's always interesting how just the little small things can make such a difference. Small differences over longer periods/distances will create much larger differences.
I would like to thank @flamingirl for his generous donation that was made into last weeks Battle-Steem game.
Posted using Partiko Android
Great choice, @flamingirl is extremely active and has some great content. That's awesome about the contest, was that @rentmoney's battle-steem game or a different one? You are pretty active as well...
Thanks buddy

I want to thank the @pifc community as a whole. They work so hard each week trying to help build a better steemit by seeking out undervalued steemians and getting them some extra rewards.
But this time around I want to thank @trincowski for going a step above and beyond. He makes a point of visiting every entry each week, or close to it. Almost always beating me to the entries and leaving a comment.
This week on the winner post he announced that he was buying SBI shares for the people he featured. This is taking 2 steem out of pocket to help those who he already helped by providing exposure to them.
Thank you @trincowski for being a great steemian and amazing member of the @pifc family!
Thanks for the mention.
To say the truth, I was feeling somewhat disappointed for seeing my PIF posts earning more than the ones I was featuring, combined.
I didn't think it was fair, so I am just trying to balance things a bit.
That imbalance will happen as you have followers now and are featuring people who don't. You also have some autovotes that really help stack the deck in your favor. @pifc vote is typically the same on the featured posts and the entry, if 2 featured posts are really good they might be higher then the entry as I tend to cap those since they also get a 25% vote on the contest page and the Bounty.
Yes this group is full of good people. I hope in the next year to get my account to level I can do more for it. Good call outs.
You will be there. Your efforts to grow your account are consistent and that is all it takes. It actually gets easier and easier to grow as your stake and reputation grows.
I think you have several good initiatives going and @trincowski is definitely an asset to the group. He's always there supporting and helping out in discord as well.
You have quite a few great people around the PIFC, and believe it or not I actually got an entry in again. I've tried half a dozen times, 3 or 4 times I pick a person and find out that someone beat me to it, or they were featured the previous week...
There are great people in the community and I hated to pick one out, but @trincowski has been an rockstar lately and deserved special mention.
Just an FYI, if you find someone don't exclude them just because they had been featured the previous week. That is allowed as long as we don't see a pattern of it happening over and over we know that sometimes the same person will get mentioned by 2 people in a week or in back to back weeks.
Oh and @coinsandchains this is so much easier to follow then last weeks. You are onto something here simplifying the contest IMO.
Hello! I thank you @coinsandchains for this opportunity. I'm starting on this platform and the @stach team for having supported me in one of my posts, I do not know if it's a big or small account. Thank you.
Welcome to the platform. It does not matter if the accounts are large or small you can say thank you to anyone. @stach would probably be considered a community or curation account which is ok. It is a larger account, there are very few on here above 500SP and they are over 5000SP. They did well selecting your post, that's pretty cool. I would say engage lots, but that's hard to do at 15SP. I'll poke around and see what I can do.
Hi @coinsandchains
Firat of all I would like to thank you for this great initiative. Saying "thank you" should be an important thing, not just curtesy. Showing our appreciation to those who helped us or stood by us is a great sign of respect.
Now, I would like to say a big thank you to a steemian who showed me what support means. A talented photographer and an amazing artist. I'm talking about my friend @erikah. We met about three months ago and ever since she constantly helped me and supported me. Her precious advice made me re-think my strategy here on Steemit and I can proudly say that my account grew. @erikah was the one who helped me surpassing the nasty HF20 period when I couldn't post or comment. Thanks to her intervention, I got back on track and regained the motivation I lost.
To keep it short, thank you, @erikah for being my friend, mentor and the greatest supporter. Life on Steemit would have been very different without you. 🙂
@eirkah is an awesome choice and an absolutely amazing photographer. I just wish I had a tenth of that talent.
Hello thanks for keeping this going. I like the format and hope it works. This growing would be a fun thing to see.
This week I am going to give a Thank You to @darklands who is running a text type RPG game here on steem. Takes me back to trying to play dungeons and dragons back in the day. I had to heard about this a while back but didn't join. I looked at it now and saw some players I knew so I was like okay let me try it out. The game takes a bit to learn the rules but they have a discord where people help you out. Also a side benefit is you get upvotes to your post. Not just the ones for the game either. I am sure this will vary with amount of players and SP delegated but it is a wonderful bonus to playing a fun little game. It cost nothing to join and you earn rewards to play can't beat that. So I want to say thanks for making a fun little game and helping me figure out how to play.
I am in these groups.

Great pick in @darklands. Tabletop games like that can be a lot of fun. The Game Master is the key to having a great one. I think you've got a bit of pumpkin on your shirt... I saw @simplegame in there too, he's pretty good at those as well.
