Enter Contests on STEEM and Win!

Entering contests on STEEM is one of my best strategies here. I normally enter many contests per week, and win often since you do not enter! So let’s take care of that now. Here are a lot of places you can enter with comments or posts.

Answer dpolls

Many contests are offered on dpolls daily and it is quick to enter them.

• Go to dpoll.xyz.
• Click to the ”new” tab and you will see the latest polls.
• You need to login with steemconnect the first time you answer.
• After answering a poll, click back two times, and you will be at the ”new” screen again.

Many contests say they are a contest in the title but not all. I usually answer any polls that interest me since the process is quick.

As you answer, a screen comes up for you to give additional comments. You can do this if you like or if the pollster has asked for it. If you have nothing further to say, just click through to register your vote.

If you do this once a day, going through the first couple of pages will get you all the open contests.

Sometimes dpolls or the pollster will upvote your comments too. You never know!

Become a Bounty Hunter at steem-bounty

Bounties are set on some posts at STEEM and reward your comments if you make good ones. If the bounty hunter (and/or other steemers) upvote your comments, you will get some of the bounty too.

• go to https://steem-bounty.com/
• start reading through the bounties to see which ones you can comment for.
• make your good comment and hope for the best :)

Making a short comment that does not add to the topic is not going to get you a bounty.

The bounty payment comes at post payout, and will be in steem or sbd sent to your wallet. It’s always nice to see these when they come in!

I usually go through the “Expiring Soon” Bounty posts and start with those that are 5 days out. At 6 days, the author may have already gone through to upvote the comments. If the post already has many, many comments by that time, I probably will not answer unless I have something very interesting to say.

Check out the @contestkings daily post

Contests that qualify for the @contestkings post require:

• no upvote
• no resteem
• no follow

So, you just need to comment for most of these. Sometimes a post is called for.

Go for sbi shares

I am a big believer in @steembasicincome. The sbi autovote is one of the biggest many of us get in steem. The more shares you have, the higher the vote for your posts.

@steembasicincome posts a roundup post for current contests a couple of times a week. Check this post out and enter where you can.

Post your restaurant reviews at tasteem

If you eat out, tasteem.io is the place for you! If you win or not, your qualified post will get a great upvote from tasteem. I have a lot of information about how to do the reviews here:
Tasteem Restaurant Reviews dApp before I used it
Tasteem Restaurant Reviews dApp with tips to do better

But, basically, a few photos, contact information, and your text about the restaurant and meal will payoff big. Interact with others posting tasteem reviews for even more rewards.

Enter CCC contests

CCC is an program initiated by @freedomshift. They have a number of contests each week that normally require a post. I am very new to this and do not have complete details. But even stumbling around, I have had wonderful results. Go over and enter a contest or two and see how you do. I think this will be a long term winner for me.

Enter your food pics to worldsdailyfood

The @worldsdailyfood contest is held daily with themes and sponsored by @travelsbyblue; Post two food photos for the theme, tell your location and camera and some information about the food, and you are in! Each contest runs until post payout.

Enter @qurator contests

Three contests are held each week by @qurator. In each, you can win a nice @qurator upvote to one of your most recent posts. All have slightly different rules so check out the call for entry posts to make sure you enter correctly.

• tastytuesday
• tossupthursday
• photofriday

Enter freewritehouse contests

I hope you are a freewriter on steem, and if not, why not?! Answering the daily prompt by @mariannewest is the best way I know to become active and learn how to post on steem. So many nice people post there and you will get support and interaction on your work.

@freewritehouse runs contests often. On Tuesdays you can recommend your favorite freewrite and there is monthly Literary Talent Award with great prizes. There are more if you are good with video too.

Find Southern California Contests with @socalsteemit

This is great place for people with a Southern California connection. Comment if you know the weekly Mystery Photo and do a post for My California every week for great upvotesand possible wins!

• @improv runs Punday Monday

• @whatisnew - Thursday Butterfly Day
• @deemarshall - Many Artstorm contests for the artists among us.

I have almost everyone mentioned on this post set up on my ginabot notifications to know when their new posts come out. This timesaver is highly recommended!

This contest list is long, but not complete! I hope people will comment with contests I have missed. But this should be enough to get you going and make your STEEM time more rewarding.

Best of luck to you, and please comment with any questions or help for the rest of us.

How is your journey to better health going?

Is your fitness equipment out handy? Are you on a "diet?" Soon we will be in Bathing Suit Season. Are you ready?

I lost "Half My Size" eight years ago by using natural methods. No tricks, just doing a bit better every day. I started on October 10 one year, and did not give up. Four years later, on October 5th, there I was - thin and healthy for the first time in my life. You can do it too!

This is Sharon @fitinfun. I am posting:

• Healthy Food Ideas on @fitinfunfood

• Motivation Minnow Tips and Everything Else on @fitinfun

• @bxlphabet is posting Southern California, steemmonsters and dtube videos.

Please follow along or contact me directly if you would like some individual help with weight loss and health. Anyone can do this if I did.
