Weekly Report as Steem Representative, April24 to April 30, 2025

Hi, all fellow Steemians,

Good morning from Canberra,

Another hectic week passed, and this one was a little too busy as I am leading a team having three newbies with no prior experience of curation or even participation in any SC Challenges even as moderators for any such challenges.

So you can imagine I was busy on different fronts especially talking to them and telling the way a SC works. But now that the first week is completed successfully and the team seems a little more at ease the things are back to normal.

Contrary to the last week when I visited a couple of extra places for posting in Steem Atlas, I could not visit any for this purpose. I guess my next five weeks would be too busy with SC and I will have to go slow on tours and travel front. However, as I said now that first week went smoothly at SC front, I am a little at ease.

Offline, I was busy with my official project but two consecutive weeks with long weekends eased some pressure but in the current week the work is at its normal pace. I m enjoying the new SC posting in them even if I won none.

"SLC-S24/W1 - Tangled Emotion | The Powerful Conversation"

"SLC-S24/W2 - Powerful Debate | Love vs Capability"

My power-ups and reward summary

I added 250 SP to my wallet this week bringing my total close to past 49K+ SP, including the balance that I intend to add in the next few days.

Contest #144 || POWERUP

On the power up front I am doing steady progress and have entered well into the 49K+ SP slot and hope to reach my first goal in the month of May if all goes according to plan.

Newbie Promotional Program

A New Initiative to help newbies

To support newbies, I am planning to help them in their writing journey on Steemit with a couple of new strategies, like a "Travel Writing Contest" that will encourage them to share about their region and country.

I am proud to announce once again that I supported as many newbies as I could through various methods, including setting them as beneficiaries in my posts every week, which helps them stay positive. I always vote for the best posts according to their quality and support them in my capacity as moderator and Steem Representative.

As usual, my online or offline activities did not stop me from visiting and finding promising authors from the newcomers' community and selecting my quota of two of the best, under 50 rank, irrespective of their club status, communities, and countries.

As always, I spent time with a couple of newbies on their or my posts. I feel like more and more newbies are getting in touch with me, and that's heartwarming when they are among them as they approach me.

I supported two more newbies, keeping them as beneficiaries in my different posts. As I always mention, I will keep supporting newbies because my "Newbie Support Program is working well, and I feel good when I see newbies feel motivated and respond happily through their comments.

As a routine, I selected the first "newbie," @lusmelis1902, the first beneficiary of the week,

Here is my post,

POWERUP & WIN

As usual, I am writing a message on the selected posts, and some of them understand the meaning of my message, so they feel happy and respond positively because they feel someone cares for them.

Moderator Duty

I completed my weekly duty as moderator, which took a lot of my time but had too few real travel posts, but mostly diary posts. However, the travelers posting their travel experiences compensated for my time and efforts.

My Travel Post

Japanese Garden, Auburn, Sydney, Australia

Again, I am trying my best to support genuine queries by Steemians, both new and old, through various channels to support them in spreading awareness and pacifying them in case anyone has a problem.

Contest in TS

I did a much awaited contest post this week which I thought was long due in Travel Steem Community and this I guess was different.

Contest: Let's go for a walk

Once again, I am proud to announce that as SR, I try my best to support all good posts, but let me request the authorities once again that the SRs should get more power to support Steemians with extra voting power to talented Steemians. I hope the Steem Team will see a point in my suggestion.

My Account Summary

As usual, my CSI is in the range of 10-15, as I am supporting all who need my support; however, this week I could not visit as many posts because writing reports, moderation, and curation kept me busy on other assignments.

These are my regular posts.

Despite all the shortcomings, including the inability to post in official challenges, I have posted daily. I admit that there were no 'learning contests' for me in the just concluded season, so I did not post this week again.

I submitted first week report of SC-24

SLC S24 Week 1 [Summary Report] || Team Wordsmiths ||

As usual, I am doing my job without any partiality, always thinking beyond any specific country or community, and supporting everyone on the platform on an equal basis. Last but not least, thanks to all the Steemians for all they do to support me and the Steemit platform in general.

That's all for this week!

Thanks all; have a nice time ahead.

Yours sincerely
