Hello Steemian Friends,
We hope everyone is looking forward to the weekend! In a way, we are and in a way we aren't as we'll be teaching, but still earning that dough!
For this Featured On Friday's and for the next 10 Featured On Friday's, we'll be giving away 2 Steem Basic Income (SBI) shares to someone that we follow and someone that is following us. A few weeks' ago, we gave away our first share to @waybeyondpadthai as she was producing incredible content and on a consistent basis, but we never made a post about it. We gave away 3 shares two weeks ago to three Steemians that have inspired us and their respected communities on Steemit: @world-travel-pro, @intrepidsurfer and @for91days. We want to give back more to the community!
Almost Five Months In
The chance to earn cryptocurrency and real money from posting our posts on Steemit was one of the reasons that attractive us to the platform, but it wouldn't be possible without the support and community engagement from YOU! We had a challenge that we set a few months' ago about reaching 1,000 followers before a certain date (20th of June) and although that might still be possible, it's not about the numbers anymore. Actually, we became suspicious of who is following us. A week or two ago after posting a post, we instantly received 40 followers! Firstly, we thought 'Wow!', but with suspicion. With furtherl investigation into some of the accounts, we found out that they were either created on the 13th of March (exactly) or later. Are these made-up accounts? And why? Who knows?! And due to this finding, we have decided to STOP that challenge as we do not feel like the number of followers reflect the ACTUAL number of our legitimate followers we have. However, we want to stay true to our word of giving back. We have accumulated STEEM that we did not Power Up as we were going to give it away if we reached our target of 1,000 followers before the deadline. So, what to do with this STEEM now?
Steem Basic Income Giveaway
We will give away 2 SBI shares each week to ONE RANDOMLY PICKED FOLLOWER and ONE RANDOMLY PICKED FOLLOWING. How will this be done? Using a Contest Winner Picker website, we will put in all our followers and select at random and we will do the same for the people we are following. However, it is not that straight forward. In order for the sponsorship to be successful, the Steemian needs to be quite active on Steemit (posting like 5-7 times a week!). So, if we feel that a person that is not active is selected, we will re-do the draw until we find someone. It is only fair as this is all explained in @steembasicincome's report here. Also, click that link, if you do not know what Steem Basic Income is all about.
Since we have around 20 STEEM saved up and we're giving away 2 shares each week, this means this giveaway will happen every Friday for the next 10 weeks!
Week 1 Winners
Without further ado, the winners of the Followers category is:
And the winners of the people we are Following category is:
Congrats to @lordofthewaves and @zord189! @lordofthewaves is a new Steemian and has just joined Steemit last month (as we're already in June)! We hope he continues to get involved in photo contests as well as writing about his travel experiences. @zord189 has been on Steemit for eight months and it is funny that he was picked as he is the latest person that we are following (like today) upon reading his Thank You post to Sndbox. Still it was chosen at random and so, the transfer will be going to @steembasicincome to sponsor both of them.
Here is proof of the transfer to @steembasicincome:
Keep posting away! Steem On!
Until next week!
Stay Classy Steemians!

Hahaha, when we hit 'Pick' we thought why did it pick the first one on the list as we copied and pasted a list of people we follow by most recent, so that is why you were on top in that screenshot. Then it picked you. Hahaha! No worries, we were never solely on Steemit for the money and we stay true to the phrase "Sharing is caring". We care for everyone that is around us! :)

Thanks @fun2learn! We wouldn't have over 200 STEEM and almost 100 SBDs without the support of everyone around us on Steemit. It's a small act, but hopefully we can inspire others to do the same 😊 Thanks for commenting, upvoting and following! 😁
