Steemjet Tips:
Feel free to reply to any of my posts but I no longer have enough time to read posts that are under 10 days old because I receive hundreds of replies to every post now and I am only one person. We will be looking to delegate responsibility soon, to free up some of my time. I have not even been able to look at anyone’s posts under the steemjet tag for months now because it now takes me hours to sift through my own posts. I am not trying to ignore anyone. Much of my inefficiency is due to my own disorganization, therefore I am establishing some best practices / efficiency formatting:
I am going to start every post with the same format and give everyone the best chance to have their message to me read, and works critiqued. This is the least I can do. The most I can do is delegate responsibility eventually.
I am almost done cleaning up the accounting books for those who accepted the cash out offer and upvoting those who still like upvotes as a prize, and then I need to assess and clean up all the contest submissions, and then I need to do the real important stuff!
The best way to submit a piece is to attach it to a post that is less than 10 days old. This way, you will be guaranteed to know that I at least saw it. I do not want to miss anybody’s post, nor do I want to re-read the same post 5 times (because I am inefficient). Therefore, expect response turn around time to be about 10 days with a performance target of 3 (I have much work to do, now that I am feeling better from the worst flu in history).
Now that I have some best practices established for myself, I am looking to establish some best practices going forward for some members of the Steemjet Space Force.
Establishing a set of guidelines to boarding and riding Steemjet will help those who are interested quickly assess the best way to create an enjoyable experience while leaving little disappointment due to wasted efforts, misunderstandings, and miscommunication.
I need to delegate:
This is how I need to spend my time:
5% greeting new members, explaining what is going on, and guiding the most current discussion to effective conclusions.
Currently I am spending about a third of my time re-explaining the same thing over and over. This is terrible. From now on, my posts will be well defined (and not “under construcion” as much) in order to more carefully and effectively communicate the actions required from the Steemjet Space Force.
Each post will contain this new “Steemjet Sticky” post template which will quickly let the reader know what Steemjet is, what we have done, and what we are doing.
The current problem I currently have is that with so many irons in the fire, I won’t be able to even read any responses here for 10 days. The good news is that I am feeling much better physically, and hopefully we can get some traction on some delegation of responsibilities to those who have more time to meet and greet and explain things clearly.
So here is what I am proposing. Let’s try dedicating 10% of our steem power to steeming my posts, and any posts under the steemjet tag. I will split this 10% among 4 Space Force members (I guess I should ask if this is even possible)(is this possible?) Use your best judgement which should bring the cream to the top, then I can tend to contest accounting which I have fallen way behind. Feel free to steem your comments when you need to position your comments where they can be most effective. This also acts as compensation. All I ask in return besides your keen judgement, is a weekly report highlighting people, posts, and comments that you think that I should see, because the fact is that I can not see them all anymore.
This clarity of explanation will garner trust.
We will call these delegates:
Space Force One
And they when they write their weekly (OK, let us make this every 2 weeks) report, it will contain their interpretation of the consensus of weather or not we should end our steemjet "Time" art contest early. Because my lack of ability to read the consensus of the community already cost us literally tens of thousands of dollars in liquid capital payouts simply because I did not have the time or ability to effectively figure out who "won" the slogan competition. Therefore EVERYONE won, but our productivity really took a hit due to my laziness/generosity/dimness/etc. You get the picture.
I get too caught up in all the beautiful art, and stare at the pictures for hours being inspired. And that was ok when it was just me and a handful of images, but we really have a LOT of work planned that is not even addressed. I am spending ALL my time staring at beautiful lines, colors, textures, shapes, concepts, and accounting records, when I need to be steering us towards the future.
If contest winners know that 10% of our Steem Power is dedicated to greeting newbies, and pumping the best contest submissions to the top of the post, then they will be more willing to accept the upvote prizes than the 50 cents on the dollar liquid steem cashout offer which is now in full effect forever due to its immense popularity.
If you are not already a member of the Steemjet Space Force, then it will be more difficult for you to convince me that you have the right stuff:
Hopefully this is just the beginning of the delegation process.
It is a shame that ALL newcomers are not being greeted by myself no longer and by the time I get to their posts, it is too late to upvote them (greet them properly), and therefore we are not gaining mass adoption, which is our overall mission therefore we are failing without delegation.
WE MUST DISTRIBUTE STEEM TO EVERYONE ON PLANET EARTH
TLDR:
Tell me how you would curate my posts (and other posts in the steemjet tag) to ensure that the cream rises to the top and the earnest newcomers don't go unnoticed.
If I can hire 4 curators to manage 24000 SP, then I can get caught up MUCH faster, and start being more effective to our community.
Because right now, I am about as effective as Fat Elvis in a kung fu fight
I need to be as effective as effectiveas Fat Elvis in a competitive eating event!
respect to rjunaid12 for the artwork
The mbj Elvis competition is an example of our contest format going forward. Shorter time limits and quicker results!
Many of you here who have been doing great work now need to be paid for it. i am sorry for the delays
It seriously now takes me a whole day just to get through 1 post. See you next week!
EDIT:
I have been confusing everyone by upvoting pictures before the contest has beeen completed, and now it is pure chaos around here. The fact is that your pize comes in ADDITION to all the kick ass upvotes you receive prior to the contest ending which has fueled people running for the exits and taking the buy out offer, again, pure chaos. Almost everyone has taken the buy out offer, only a few remain, which will make it easier to pay out though.
EDIT:
I need to be able to hit all entries with at least some steem because going forward, not everyone is going to be able to place in the leader board. In the past when we only had maybe 30-40 contestants, I was able to showcase everyone, but I also had to coax some design to completion. Now that the competition has blown up, we are getting more completed design concepts, however there are too many to mention everyone, which is why it is critical that I get caught up so I can at least give everyone SOME steem. Delegating SP should help this effort. Steemjet is all about bringing EVERY PERSON IN THE WORLD into our home and sharing food. Nobody can be left out. If we are going to be successful, then this is only the FIRST round of delegation. If this works out, then the next phase would be to have a couple people working for these 4 initial delegates, and possibly delegating to OTHER areas. We will see growth spurts and set backs of inefficiency, but as long as we learn and apply lessons learned, we will achieve the next level of adoption. Once I get these last few people off the payroll.
EDIT:
we can always UN-delegate if they do a bad job, right? Wrong?
I seriously don't know ANYTHING about delegating SP except for that it MIGHT be possible..
Anyone can propose to do a better job, take on an extra 6000 SP and take someone's job. We are continuously looking to me MORE effective. When we start taking our show on the road, then we might have more people delegating less SP.
It is more than about judging contest entries. There are going to be many more posts about teaching crypto. Our plan is 2 dimensional marketing which I will explain later due to legal reasons, but again, this is just the TIP of the iceberg.
With a hive mind like we have with people like you analyzing our approach then we cannot lose.
Ultimately the goal of Steemjet is to pay the highest steem bath to the most effectively constructive comments!
