I would be selfish of me and not in the long-term interests of steemit if I posted often and kept all the rewards my posts have been earning lately.
So I'm experimenting with a new method of growing the author community diversity.
I am promoting authors from my continent (Africa first, other slow adoption continents later) in order to help them get a following and become Tuna's and Dolphins.
Once they have a following, they I'm sure will do the same.
The plan is to promote new authors for a couple of weeks.
All the liquid rewards for the post will go to them to buy STEEM and power up their accounts. Then I move on to the next authors I feel are producing good, diverse content that will expand the diversity of topics and content on STEEM.
The Steem power from the post will remain in my account, to help improve the strength of my voting finger. That way I will be able to reward even more diverse content and "up and coming" authors that otherwise might be missed with vote love.
Below follows content provided by @pixiepeach that was completely overlooked when she posted it. I think it is absolutely awesome and she has many more great posts to come. Make sure you start to follow her if you like her style.
Last year my mum received a phone call from my aunt asking if we can look after her children for a few days leading up to Christmas, and of course we agreed.
Very curious why, we found that her and her partner had been invited to participate in an all-expenses paid trip to India!
What possible reason could someone have to pay for them to go to India out of the blue you ask?
They were going to perform in a BUBBLE FESTIVAL!!
They hadn’t been asked out of the blue of course, my aunt and her partner (Lucy and Mike) are in fact BUBBLEOLOGISTS!!!
Yes, to our surprise as well, this is actually a thing!
Here are some pictures of what they do:
They professionally perform at parties, events, festivals, you name it!
They even have their own secret bubble mixture formula, unfortunately I can’t share this with you as the world of Bubbleologists is apparently very competitive.
What is a Bubbleologist you ask?
Well… They do things with bubbles.. big bubbles, small bubbles, bubbles filled with smoke, fire bubbles, bubbles inside other bubbles, you think it, they can do it!
It’s a pretty cool thing to have in the family I’d say, not that I have any real skill in this art, although I have put Mike in a bubble!
Here’s a picture of me and my brothers inside a bubble at my sister’s birthday party (definitely the best kids party so far).
They really are skilled in the art of bubbles, Mike was even asked to try and set a new Guinness world record for putting a Helicopter inside of a bubble!
Unfortunately, he couldn’t quite beat the current record, but he gave it a fair shot!
