Plans and Updates

We often posts plans and updates of our community using our community account on a weekly basis. We make sure that we provide reports of the different activities such as contests, the SP Achievement Pledge Program, the Power Up Challenge, the 100K SP Shares Project and the Cameroon Steemit Njangi immediately the reports are due.
All our community activities are reported using the community account, @steem-cameroon.
We have an SP Target roadmap for our community wherein we want to hit 100K SP in two years. This explains why we started the Cameroon Steemit Njangi and 100K SP Shares Program: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/cameroon-steemit-njangi-and-shares-program-report
We even went further and pledged to hit 50K SP by December 2021 and you can read our pledge and plan here; https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/steem-cameroon-pledges-to-hit-50k-sp-by-december-31-2021-or-the-sp-achievement-pledge-program

However, we are currently working on a 5 years strategic plan (Cameroon Steemit Program) for @steem-cameroon. Summarized details of our strategic plan will be shared in the months ahead.

Promotion

Out of Steem, we are promoting our community via football, radio, posters, flyers and Steemit trainings as you can see in some of the images below;

Within Steem, we are promoting our community via amazing contests organized strictly for members of our community, via active blogging as well as via our Delegations Reward Program that offers the best rewards to delegators. We recently relaunched the Cameroon Steemit Program.

The Cameroon Steemit Program

The Cameroon Steemit Steemit Program aims at raising awareness about Steemit as well as recruiting and retaining Cameroonians to the Steem blockchain.
The principal goal of the program is to raise awareness about Steemit to over one million Cameroonians as well as recruit, reward and retain over 250 Cameroonians to Steemit before December 2021 as you can read here: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/cameroon-steemit-program-recruit-reward-and-retain

So far, the program has already kick-started the following projects;

1. Cameroon Steemit Awareness Raising Campaign
2. Cameroon Steemit Promo Contest
3. Cameroon Steemit Literacy Project
   
   Our first Steemit Training after the launching of the Cameroon Steemit Program took place on the 21/08/2021. it's report Read More published by @fombae

The 100K SP Shares Program and Cameroon Steemit Njangi

In a bid to build a self-reliant account, we launched the 100K SP Shares Program which is powered by the Cameroon Steemit Njangi, a socio-economic initiative that pumps in 104SBD monthly for the community account power-up.
The Cameroon Steemit 100K SP Shares Program has 100 Shares of 1000SP each which have been given out to Cameroonian Steemians to pay for a maximum duration of 2 years.
56 Shares have already been claimed by 27 Cameroonian Steemians and we hope to give out 40 more shares to interested Cameroonian Steemians in the future. These shareholders are expected to pump in 50K SP into the Steem Cameroon Community account by the end of May 2022 and 100K SP into the community account by the end of May 2023 against juicy annual rewards.
You can learn more about this initiative here: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/cameroon-steemit-njangi-and-shares-program-report

Besides the 100K SP Shares Program which is powered by the Cameroon Steemit Njangi, we are also powering up our account via delegations and giving our delegators juicy rewards of 01 Steem per 100 SP delegated per month as you can read here; https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/steem-cameroon-delegations-reward-program

We hope to review and encourage our members to delegate at least 50K SP by December 2021 so that we can achieve our 50K SP Pledge target as you can read here: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/steem-cameroon-pledges-to-hit-50k-sp-by-december-31-2021-or-the-sp-achievement-pledge-program

Our recent Delegations Review, Recommendations and Rewards targets to mover our account delegated SP to at least 25K Steem as you can read here: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/steem-cameroon-delegations-review-recommendations-and-rewards-or-the-100k-sp-project

The SP Achievement Pledge Program

Pixabay Image edited by @thegreens
Our community may be small in terms of registered numbers but the vision of our members and our community is huge. This explains why in a bid to promote investment via power-ups and retain members to Steemit, we launched the SP Achievement Pledge Program, that aims at encouraging members to her community to pledge a target SP, get labeled for Steemit Team support and work towards the realization of that SP target. So far, over 12 members of the community have pledge but in our last SP Achievement Pledge Report, 07 Steemians including @steem-cameroon pledged to hit 74K SP by December 2021 as you can read here: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/the-sp-achievement-pledge-program-report-or-74k-pledged-to-be-powered-up-by-07-steemians

We're still crafting a juicy rewards system for Cameroonian Steemians who are participating in the SP Achievement Plege Program and will be giving updates in the days ahead.
