Promote Steem and the Contest

As well as earning you an additional ticket into the raffle, promoting the contest on social media is excellent way to promote Steem also. Thank you to all the entrants who have shared their workouts on the likes of Twitter, including @practicaleric.

Using the table above, entrants can also connect with each other and help spread the word by retweeting/sharing each others others content. On scanning each post for the necessary data, I found some excellent reports that had been expanding into 'travel' type content. This post by @outlinez even earned a @curie vote and would be perfect to promote on other social networks.

Steem Fest and I

For the past two years, I have been fortunate enough to attend Steem Fest, and last year my trip was covered by winning a contest such as this one. It's difficult for me summarize how much fun I had, how much I learned, and how much I felt at home at these events, and I strongly advise making an effort to get there if you can!

Steem Fest 2 was held in Lisbon, Portugal, and last year we had a trip to chilly Krakow in Poland. It has long been discussed that the November date is not ideal weather-wise in Europe, and so when I heard this years event was to be held in Thailand I was both excited and sad.

This year, beyond a miracle or a big fat bull-run, I am unlikely to be able to attend. Bloody typical that it is taking place in the forever temperate Bangkok - I am definitely overdue a return visit to Asia and would have most likely stayed on after the event to make my way to the beaches in the south. What a fantastic opportunity to meet fellow Steemians and take a holiday in the sunshine.

I wish all the contestants the best of luck in the raffle mid October. Don't forget that you can enter once every weekend, and to share the post on other social media.

Cheers

Asher
