A week ago I asked some questions and offered 2 prizes of 2 SBI shares each. Here are the questions I asked:

Question 1

Tell us how you came to Steemit. Consider covering things like:

• Who referred you?
• What were your reasons for getting involved?
• What were your first impressions?

Question 2

What do you think outsiders do not know about the country you are currently residing in? (Think of food, peculiar laws, courting rituals, etc)

Question 3

Who is your favourite blogger on Steemit? (Please tell us why and provide a link to a recent post you enjoyed.)

This is the post where I announced the contest:

Come for the money, stay for the community

Six people entered the contest successfully. i enjoyed reading the answers to the questions and I think you will too.

1. @the-witty-waiter - @reonlouw made me do it
2. @omoyiwolabusayo - ANSWERS TO THE CONTEST ANCHORED BY @REONLOUW.
3. @seth2020 - Competition; Come for the money, stay for the community.
4. @nexit - @reonlouw: "Come for the money, stay for the community!"
5. @botefarm - My Steemit Journey So Far : Come For The Money, Stay For The Community
6. @anixio - 3 questions have 3 answers

I offered the SBI shares as an incentive to get people to answer my questions. This has worked well for me and I'm pretty sure that I will do this again. Buying SBI shares is a very good long-term strategy and I'll keep on doing this for as long as they are on offer. One share will cost you 1 Steem and this is especially attractive with the price of Steem very low right now. Keep an eye on my blog if you want to win more shares in the days ahead. Read this post if you want to learn more about SBI (Steem Basic Income).

Lets get to the winners!

Two participants were featured in my entry in the #payitforward contest run by @thedarkhorse. You should definitely check it out. It is fun and is growing in stature and influence. This also one of your best strategies for effective networking here on Steemit and networking is key to your long-term success. You can read my entry to see who of the above mentioned participants featured.

Week 13 of Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Entry @reonlouw
This was an anannounced, spur-of-the-moment benefit of entering my little contest.

Winner I

This prize goes to whoever got me to smile the widest or raise my eyebrows the highest. I struggled to make the decision as I enjoyed every post. However, the winner is:

@anixio

@anxio gets the prize of 2 SBI shares because he announced with absolute certainty that Croatia will win the Soccer World Cup. I now have a vested interest in the Soccer World Cup after my country did not even qualify. Croatia will be playing Russia this coming Saturday in the quarter-finals. Should they win the cup, you read it here first! And you heard it from @anxio.

Winner II

This prize goes to the lucky person whose number was drawn by my my daughter. My son took the picture featuring the winner's number.

A number was allocated to each participant as they entered. The winner therefore is:

@the-witty-waiter

Thank you to everyone who participated. Please expect more of these type of posts from me. I enjoy asking questions. Hopefully the price of Steem will recover fully and we can all have more fun here while helping one another.
