Weekly Report as Steem Representative, January 9th to January 15th, 2025

Hi, all fellow Steemians,

Good morning from India.

It's another foggy week, but I'm having a great time with my forthcoming outdoor programs for a change. I will be out in the Great Himalayas for a few days but not from Steemit. I am surprised most Steemians are not active on the site, but maybe they are more active on exchanges. Not only that, but I am sure they are enjoying trading and making money. As far as I am concerned, I am busy with my upcoming project in the next few weeks.

On Steemit front, I started another contest in Travel Steem community.

Contest: Tourist Attraction Photography Contest

And announced its result today

Result : "Tourist Attraction Photography

Once again, this week was a routine type because I was not as active writing posts, but mostly busy offline for my next project in Australia starting February 2025, even if my program will be rescheduled by a few weeks.

On learning season, it was a little different from last week because I found none to participate in. I am busy offline, but I posted at least one post every day barring one day, although I see everything is normal, and I am glad I am able to help newcomers approaching me for their problem solving.

I am proud to announce once again that I supported as many newbies as I could through various methods, including setting them as beneficiaries in my posts every week, which helps them stay positive. I always vote for the best posts according to their quality and support them in my capacity as moderator and Steem Representative.

As usual, my online or offline activities did not stop me from visiting and finding promising authors from the newcomers' community and selecting my quota of two of the best, under 50 rank, irrespective of their club status, communities, and countries.

As always, I spent time with a couple of newbies on their or my posts. I feel like more and more newbies are getting in touch with me, and that's heartwarming when they are among them as they approach me.

I give you an example here

My Newbie Program

A New Initiative to help newbies

I supported two more newbies, keeping them as beneficiaries in my different posts. As I always mention, I will keep supporting newbies because my "Newbie Support Program is working well, and I feel good when I see newbies feel motivated and respond happily through their comments.

My selected users

As a routine, I selected the first "newbie," the first beneficiary of the week, @javiermb2007

I selected for his post:

Un inicio emocionante

Here is my post,

Sky Lanterns Fog and Me

As usual, I am writing a message on the selected posts, and some of them understand the meaning of my message, so they feel happy and respond positively because they feel someone cares for them.

I posted a comment on this post, but did no response.

My second newbie beneficiary is @rauja

For her post

Verification Through Introduction @rauja

Here is my post:

Pick a Word, Paint a Story #07

A message on that post, whom I have set as beneficiaries in this post:

She not only responded but participated in my contest, and I can assure you she is talented.

I completed my weekly duty as moderator, which took a lot of my time, but I found more travel posts and diary posts compared to last week. I guess we need to give them an idea about travel so they post their travel experiences with a different perspective.

I thought I needed to give them another creative idea in the travel section that encourages them to think and write in my new contest. My goal succeeded to some extent and received a few nice travel posts.

I am trying to help newbies understand how Steemit can grow them in stature by accessing information, connecting with others, and exploring hobbies.

On my support front as a SR and a moderator, I am trying my best to support genuine queries by Steemians, both new and old, through various channels to guide them. For instance, this user writes regularly in Traveling Steem but was unaware how to join a club or set a beneficiary to null.

I once again show my concern about the diary section, as I reported last week. I once again bring to the kind notice of the team that most of these posts have routine activities, so I request the Steemit Team to set guidelines because most posts have nothing new but almost the same words every day, with a few changed images.

My Power-up and reward summary

Sorry, I did not power up this week as I did not earn Steem but in SBD, and by the end of the week the SBD disappeared because the Steem dipped below 025 cents time and again. besides, whatever I earned in Steem was paid to my contenders.

I am proud to announce that as an SR and a moderator, I try my best to support all good posts, but let me request the authorities once again that the SRs should get more power to support Steemians with extra voting power to talented Steemians.

My Account Summary

As usual, my CSI is in the range of 10-15, as I am supporting all who need my support and visited as many newbies as possible but this week my CSI is low.

These are my regular posts.

I have posted daily, but I admit there are too few 'learning contests' in season 23 within my reach, but I posted one even if I was not in the first four. Maybe I will miss posting because I will be visiting a hilly area in the coming days.

In the end, I am doing my job without any partiality, always thinking beyond any specific country or community, and supporting everyone on the platform on an equal basis. Last but not least, thanks to all the Steemians for all they do to support me and the Steemit platform in general.

That's all for this week!

I wish you all a great time ahead.

Yours sincerely
