🚀 Redfish Rocket Contest: Win A 75 SP Delegation And Steem On

No more bandwidth issues! Show me you are serious about growing your SteemIt account and win a 75SP delegation for 8 weeks!

Not Enough SP = Trouble

Being new here on SteemIt isn't easy. Once you've created your account, you only have a tiny amount of Steem Power. It takes a lot of blood, sweat and (often) tears to get more of that precious Steem Power. And all odds are against you: the less SP you have, the less your upvote is worth. As a result, the curation rewards you can earn are only small, which slows down the growth of your account.

Like that isn't enough, many new users often face the problem of running out of bandwidth and aren't able to post, upvote or even comment. It's a hard knock life...

Here's what you can read about bandwidth in the SteemIt bluepaper:

You need approximately 50SP to be out of the danger zone.

Delegations

About three months ago, I decided to use some of my VP to help some newcomers get out of this danger zone, and give them a chance to grow their account a little faster.

I set up a contest, and rewarded 4 winners with a 50SP delegation for 8 weeks.

This delegation allowed them to post, upvote and comment without running out of bandwidth. It also gave them the opportunity to grow their account faster.

Unfortunately, 2 out of 4 Steemians dropped out. But I'm very happy to see that both @crypto-econom1st and @mirrors have done very well for themselves and are more than able to fly solo now.

This means there is room for some new people to support:

3 users will receive a 75 SP delegation from me for 8 weeks!!

Are You Willing To Commit?

You'll understand that I'm looking for people who are committed to the platform. People that are around to stay, and are willing to progress, so they too can fly solo once I retract the delegation.

So I'm looking for users who are actively working on growing their account, through posting, but also through interacting with the community.

As I stated in my previous contest post:

Enggement Is King

If you want to grow your account here on SteemIt, you need an audience. And the only way you can grow an audience, is by engaging yourself. Get to know people. Become a part if this awesome community.

‘Now, how do I do that?’, I can hear you ask. There is only one way: comment, comment, and comment some more. Then, reply to all replies you get. I’m talking about (tens of) thousands of characters here.

I never said you would get your delegation for doing nothing, did I?! ;0)

The Race

If you are prepared to put in an effort in order to get this free delegation, then read on. If not, then I can't help you. After all, in spite of what you were told when you initially signed up, SteemIt is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Growing your account requires hard work and dedication... unless you have enough money to buy your way up, of course.

So here's my offer:

Every Sunday, database wizard and @steemcommunity witness @abh1234 publishes his Curation And Engagement Leagues, sponsored by @curie. (Here's the link to last week's post.)

For this contest, we'll be focusing on the Engagement League only.
As you can tell by its name, the Engagement League is all about... engagement.
The ranking is mainly calculated based on the number and the length of comments you make.

The metrics that are taken into consideration are:

• Posts (P)
• Comments - number of (C)
• Comments - replies to replies - depth > 2 (C R)
• Comments - length in characters (C L)
• Witness votes (W) (for those proxying witness votes, your total is always 30)
• Upvotes to others (V)
• Upvotes to different authors (U V)
• Self-votes - a (getting smaller each week) minus score for this one sorry! (S V)

Basically, the more (valuable) comments you make, the higher you will end up in the ranking.

Take a look at last week's ranking to get an idea of what is possible:
Don't worry, I'm not expecting you to top these scores, I just want to show you that SteemIt is not a blogging platform but a SOCIAL MEDIA site. If you want to grow your account, you'll need to engage with others. However, if you do make it to the top, there's some free Steem to be won.

How To Win The Contest?

It's simple: engage like there is no tomorrow. Comment, reply, comment, reply... and don't forget to put up a post every once in a while... Show me that you're serious about growing your SteemIt account.

The new Engagement Leagues post will be published tomorrow (Sunday, July 1st). However, this contest announcement will be valid for 7 days, so to make things fair for everyone I will not pick a winner next week, but the week after - this way everyone has a full week to prove himself.

Don't let that stop you from signing up for this week's Engagement League, though. By doing so, you'll get an idea of how you're doing by next Sunday and you'll know whether you are doing alright, or will need to push a little harder.

On July 15th, the 3 people who are highest up in the ranking will receive a 75SP delegation for 8 weeks.

How To Enter?

1. Reply in the comments section below, telling me that you want to join.

2. Visit @abh12345's latest'Curation and Engagement Leagues.'-post and leave a comment, telling him you want in.

3. Start engaging like never before.

4. This week (July 1st - July 8th) is a try-out week. Next week (July 8th - July 15th) will be the real thing
   
   

Are you in for a wild ride?

Requirements to get and keep the delegation:

• Have 50SP or less
• Have no other delegation that brings your total over 50SP
• Outrank other participants of this contest - only the top 3 on July 15th will receive a delegation
• Stay engaged (It doesn't end on July 15th. You are required to keep engaging.)
  
  
  For entries to be valid, it should be obvious that you have made a real effort engaging yourself. I reserve the right to not delegate if I don't think any contestant is up for it.
