Community Challenge 2017
It was a day after the Community Challenge had started that I read the post by @merej99 about the challenge and its' rules.
- 10 days that the challenge lasted
- 7 posts of 300 words or more, and at least one picture.
- 500 meaningful comments
The Challenge
We started by posting our profile data showing our followers, posts and following.
Then, the daily posts. I found that when you are part of a challenge you make it your goal to succeed and I found myself trying harder to write better and make more interesting posts. I have posted the eight post I shared (one extra :)) for the challenge:
Day 1: Can You make Money by Going Grocery Shopping?
Day 2: Apps to Pay you Money
Day 3: Project loveletters #15 – His letter
Day 4: Project loveletters #16 – Her letter
Day 5: Learning Spanish 101
Day 6: Learning Spanish 101 with @sgnsteems - Lesson 2
Day 7: Happy Steemit Birthday to me!
Day 8: Parents Beware!- Children Accounts NOT allowed
The difficult part of the challenge
Most of my posts have been 300 words or more, and I cannot make a post without at least a picture, otherwise, it would make it harder to read. The real challenge for me were the comments. I thought to myself, 500 comments in 10 days, that would be about 50 comments a day. I thought it would be easy, but I found myself going to bed past midnight just to finish the comments every day. we couldn't spam or say nice post...it had to be more meaningful.
20 questions post she made, which made interacting so much easier and fun!I have to say @merej99 made it easier for us, and allowed us every opportunity to interact with one another, and made some posts for us to interact and exchange ideas. I loved the
The Finale
I made the finale a few days early, by finishing all my comments and posts. I was so happy to have reached "the finale", but sad that it was done. The challenge made me keep posting and commenting in a "strict regimen."
I take away having met great people in this challenge, new interactions, and new skills which I have been using. Throughout this process I have learned how to create tables, and format my posts. In addition, I learned how to use gifs (I know sorry I had never used them before!) and loved participating in the GIF Wars.
Here is my last profile data:
In 10 days I gained 68 followers, made 598 posts and meaningful comments, and found new people to follow.

Well done you, I don't think I could have done it as haven't much motivation at the minute
Thank you Karen! It was a great motivation, I am sure you would do great 😊👍
I have no motivation at the minute :( think I need a holiday :)
Yeah @sgnsteems- you sum it up so well here! I am sort of having withdrawal from all the interactions that we had with so many steemians throughout the challenge. I am now more invested in writing thoughtful comments and I am genuinely enjoying my time on this platform more because of the challenge. Great summary and here's to the next challenge!
Thank you @jaymorebeet! I keep checking my "replies" to see all my replies...but i don't have as many as I had throughout the challenge...so I need to focus more on making more replies to get those replies "full" again LOL!
I have actually wanted to make my own summary but somehow did not manage to... but it was really a great experience, interacting with wonderful people along to way.
See you around @sgnsteems! :D
You can still make a summary! :)
Yes definitely see you around, since I am following you :0)
