Contest: Find the Best 25 Posts on Steem!

in budget •  7 years ago 

What are the top 25 posts ever made on Steem? Where can we read them all in one place? How do we help more readers find these posts? This contest attempts to answer these questions for what appears to be the first time according to the first three pages of Google search results for "Top 25 Steem Posts."

Goals!


  1. Collaborate to make a list of the top 25 posts ever made on Steem.
  2. Advertise our best posts to help new readers see the best of what we do here.
  3. Reward authors and finders with 10 Steem for helping us build this list!

How to Help?


  1. Post links in the comments to the posts that made the biggest impact upon us after reading along with a summary of the post.
  2. Vote comments up by others with the best posts to help us rank the list.
  3. Ideally we will make a combination of posts of many types well as some posts that are the best introductions to Steem.

Rewards?


  1. Those of us finding a post that is included in the top 25 list will receive 10 Steem per post.
  2. The author of the post will get 10 Steem as our thank you for writing the post unless the post was self-referred in which case only the finder's fee will be paid.
  3. For funding, this is being submitted now as a budget proposal requesting up to 500 Steem to be paid from @budgets with https://steemit.com/budget/@jerrybanfield/introducing-steem-budget-proposals.

Follow Up?


  1. After the list of the top 25 posts is made, I will make the post with it to put all the posts in one place in an organized format along with a summary of each.
  2. Every post included will be submitted to the Google AdWords display network to help new readers discover some of our best posts with https://steemit.com/budget/@jerrybanfield/50-million-ads-for-steem-on-facebook-google-and-youtube.
  3. The ads for our best posts will run indefinitely to help grow our community and share the best of what we create with the readers that might benefit from it the most!

Ready?


Thank you for reading this post and I will post the first comment to get the contest started!

Love,
Jerry Banfield

jerry, I like how you are always passionate about everything related to social media, search engines, and strategies to grow.

Exactly, that's why I follow him @jerry. I just want to say merry Christmas.
Do well to check my second post on steemit

@Klye

This guide maybe old but a knowledge to remember. It is not just funny, the knowledge your share is priceless.

I don't have a friend whale. If I can't attract and catch a Whale. Hopefully, my intention to be Whale it's just a matter of time.

@jerrybanfield I vote for this article to be one of your Top 25.

Cheers,
@yehey

lol @klye the pictures go very well with the text!

https://steemit.com/writing/@eco-alex/the-remarkable-diary-of-an-earthship-eco-builder-2-the-dream-was-born-why-earthship-s-are-amazing-the-need-to-be-self-sufficient is one of the most powerful posts I have read on Steem in terms of changing my vision for what to work up to. Prior to reading this, I had the idea of just a bigger and newer house in my mind as the reward of working hard and making more money.

After reading this amazing post by @eco-alex, my entire vision of what I hope to work up to in terms of where to live has changed. Now I want an ultra sustainable house that is completely self-sufficient producing its own electricity and food along with providing a beautiful living environment.

Thank you very much @eco-alex for writing a post that was so inspiring for me to read!

I am very confused at the current steem price i see no value in steem dollars they are inflationary and have no value. Can anyone explain where the value is ? Thanks https://steemit.com/steemit/@newmarket65/steem-dollars-have-no-value

I really like that Jerry! If you are inspired now to get your own earthship, or some other kind of more ecological and sustainable house, than ecotrain´s mission is right on track.

Earthships will change everything and @eco-alex is at the forefront of making the best public case for them.
Invaluable assets for the rough times to come and certainly a great long-term goal.
Substance > Fiat (no matter what kind of fiat)

We need more of this! So much garbage filling up the hot and trending pages nowadays 🤦🏽‍♂️

Rewarding those for finding quality posts and writing quality posts is definitely a way to bringing the most value into the platform and encourages an organic user friendly ecosystem by also helping to bring in good people that will have quality content and grow steemit :)

How do you value a post?

number of up-votes?

number of readings?

total amount of the reward?

most engagement with the users in the comments?

SEO optimalization

All of these metrics could influence the meaning of 'most valuable post'.

It's really hard to say what's the most valuable post.

Summary: This was a post i wrote that had such amazing feedback. It was a self reflection on the negatives of travelling so much. Its something that a lot of travel bloggers never admit but there are so many reasons why travelling sucks and no one is brave enough to admit it.

Author: @nathenial

Summary: This is a post i made that i was just so proud of and am sure will impact everyone who watches it . It is a video of Christmas in Prague. For anyone who has caught the travel bug they will love to see how Prague turns into a winter wonderland during Christmas. Its one of the most magical places and I think this video captures it perfectly.

Wow thank you so much @clixmoney for picking one of my post for your top 25. I will also submit a different post by myself which I think if very valuable to new and old steemit users. https://steemit.com/welcome/@isteemithard/a-simple-guide-for-steemit-steemit-profile-pictue-how-to
this helps to make profiles more official

Hi Mr Jerry,
I am doing a detective thing to get the list of top 25 post and i found this post from @survivalist.com and his Top 33 Steemit post of all time
and this is my entry... :)

As part of the Welcoming Contest, users were asked to create their own Steemit Starters Guide. @shineyforest did a tremendous job of creating a welcoming guide for new users, as a new user herself, she collected some amazing resources. And this nomination has nothing to do with her nod to me for being helpful with her onboarding. hahaha:
https://steemit.com/minnowsupport/@shinyforest/a-minnow-s-guide-to-steemit

Wow, Mike! Thank you for nominating me, your my private Santa Claus I guess! All the best to you and very Merry Christmas! Yes, you've been helpful to me lots of times and I know you're doing the same to many many many other Steemians! You should get a lot of recognition for your efforts and I just can't shut up about you haha! Love, Klaudia

Most useful post i've read on Steemit so far! Definitely has my vote :)

i follow your rulls on steemit....thanks😁

Ever wanted to be able to search Steemit better? well so did @markangeltrueman, so he created @steemsearch. This gives you a bunch of search fields to really find what you are looking for on the Steem Platform. This is an amazing curation tool for anyone involved in curating. Here's the post announcing the release changing the name from "Harpoon Search" to "Steem Search" along with a review of the service's capabilities:
https://steemit.com/steem/@markangeltrueman/harpoon-search-is-now-steem-search-updates-issues-and-a-rebranding

I’m not really sure the context here, but I don’t really have sufficient SP to deal with large scale voting abuse. The most I can do is add or remove around $7.00 with a full 100% upvote or downvote.

I do continue to discuss with a lot of people behind the scenes on ways we can update the platform to make it more fair. If you have any suggestions, I’m happy to hear.

I am confused as well I dont see where the value of steem dollars is if you know please tell me https://steemit.com/steemit/@newmarket65/steem-dollars-have-no-value

So I have several for you. I recall when Upvoteable was going on that people wanted to posts being nominated in separate comments so that they could upvote individual posts that they liked better rather than my entire comment, So you are getting multiple comments from me on this one as I have four I would like to nominate...

You want to turn the 25 posts into 100 without offering additional rewards? Then here is the post for you. @inquiringtimes has been running the #weclomingcomittee contest where he asked people to collect the best guides for new Steemians on the platform. Once the contest ended, he cataloged and categorized all of the helpful posts for new Steemians to be aware of. This is not a comprehensive list, but it is a good place to start:

Mike this one is outstanding thank you!

Glad you found it useful Jerry! @inquiringtimes does great work for the platform! :-)

Happy New Year!

I think this should be included in top 25, best post I've read in the 6 months I've been on steemit.

I'll try my best to find some of the best posts on Steem. Usually people are a lot quicker at these contests than I am. I'll be sure to monitor this post and its comments to see what other users come up with for sure.

Smart Media Tokens from @ned https://steemit.com/steem/@ned/announcing-smart-media-tokens-smts This post changes so much for steem and steemit. It can change and upgrade internet. More and more people want to hold steem now!

The Day the Paywalls Died: How Steem’s Smart Media Token Saved My Family’s Newspaper https://steemit.com/smt/@donkeypong/the-day-the-paywalls-died-how-steem-s-smart-media-token-saved-my-family-s-newspaper

I can understand wanting to have the Top 25 posts available in one place; it makes good sense.

BUT... there is such a vast array of interests, topics and tags on steemit. SO, how fair is it to ask which are the best?

What I may find to be the best about gardening, homesteading and thankfulness, others will NOT find interesting or appreciated; and the same goes for technology, understanding cryptocurrency and charts. Others may see these as the best but I may not.

Maybe it should be asked in another way.
ie. Give ten, or even twenty, topics. Then ask for the best in each of those topics and tags.

And I don't mean taking the tags in the trending section. Everyone is after those. Go deeper into sub-categories and tags.

I have NEVER seen homesteading or gardening in the trending tag as being popular... it's not because people are not posting about it.

Heck.. look at the #gratefulvibes tag. Hundreds of people post in it but it never shows up.

Just my thoughts.

I am a bit of a chancer really so I thought I would add one of my own.
This is one of my best, but also probably the most important post that I have shared. I am hoping that it will open peoples minds, broaden their understanding. Hopefully help someone and make us remember how powerful we really are. Enjoy...https://steemit.com/story/@zincali/how-i-cured-myself-from-bipolar-disorder-without-medication-part-1-depression

Hi friend, Merry Christmas to you. You are always doing something great in our community to support the author who has best quality but are not still able to receive great help from the community. I have recently came through a post of young boy who is quite creative and talented. He writes about science and does art. I would like to request you to go through his recent one about" Dark matter".Here is the linkhttps://steemit.com/science/@aman.shady/is-the-human-soul-actually-a-dark-matter . Please help him as he is student. Wish you a happy time my friend.

I thought this pos was very informal and interesting looking more than just a form of payment or exchange currency. hope all is well and steemon 8)

Hello
I would like to thank you JerryBanfield. Your video popped up on a YT comercial talking about Steemit.

I am independent Journalist that has been reporting on the Ukraine War, in anti Kiev- "Rebel" DPR/LPR territory for last almost 4 years( no other Western Journalist has been reporting here as long as me).
I have just been on Steemit for 6 days. I am loving it so far. I am happy to be the first (as far as I can tell) independent War correspondent on Steemit and Dtube. Steemit seems like a great platform with alot of potential to help spread the word on the what is really happening in the Ukraine War & show the War crimes that have been happening in Donbass. The idea of people really help others with upvotes is amazing. I am happy to bring the breaking news on the Ukraine War to the community. I just need to get a following so any help you could give me to spread my reports I would appreciate. Thanks

Hit me up if you want to chat

Some wonderful Steemians with deep SP pockets have decided that one of the best investments they can make is by delegating their SP powers to other Steemians. In an effort to inspire others to follow suit @stellabelle made a "Steemian Menu" of people she finds worthy of being delegated to, along with an explanation of what she is proposing to the Whales of Steem:
