Thanks for a very helpful post. Coming from Africa myself, I can very well relate with the problems you have discussed in your post.
I have entered some contests and won something but not always enough to take me to where I would like to go. It's my first time to hear about the contests you are proposing (especially the referral one) and I will be entering soon to try and gain some Steem. Once again, thanks for your insights.
