Don't you just LOVE rest week???
I do. I have done everything BUT rest on this first day of Rest Week! hahaha I have written a fiction, I have written a rant, I have done a report blog, I have done some training videos, now I have two more posts to write before I can rest.
Tomorrow I go back to work, and so I think this rest week should not be used as an example for YOUR rest week!
Now, you shouldn't need a whole lot of instructions for your rest week - you should all have everything you need in order to find your rest, and your peace and your relaxation!!!
BUT - for the month of July - we have a REALLY cool thing planned, and you are invited.
I will say RIGHT from the start. The JULY TREASURE HUNT WILL ONLY BE FOR PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATE IN OUR JULY CHALLENGE. Why? Because it's one of the first times we are focusing on NEWBIES and giving them ALL our attention since we first started DreemPort!
That's always been our heart - to help newbies! But they are always integrated INTO our mix. For the month of July - we have been getting FED newbies by the HEY HAVE YA MET project, thanks to a LOT of hard work by @jamerussell, finding and feeding them into the DreemPort channel for us to peruse!
If you're not familiar with Hey Have Ya Met, It is A GREAT project that features some newbies that are nice writers, but not getting much recognition! @jamerussell will put together a post that features them, and @brittandjosie is often finding all the newbies for him! They've worked together on this project since 2019! When we reached out to James, we mentioned that we'd love to support this and what DreemPort could do - was read them, and then continue to follow up and read on LATER posts.
Usually a LOT of bots and people descend on intro posts, but then kinda fade away. I mean - that makes sense! There are a LOT of newbies, and a consistent flow of them. Who can possibly keep up with ALL of them? We just can't.
But, for the month of July - we are making some teams, and rallying around them, and coaching them, and seeing what kind of TRIBES we can make for them to give them a REALLY SWEET entry into Hive, some communities, some challenges, some opportunities to earn rewards - and just have fun!
So here is the plan!!!
ANYONE can form a team with some newbies to Hive.
The team can be just 2 people - or more!! It can be a coach and a newbie! It can be two newbies! It can be three coaches and 3 newbies! YOU MAKE the team you want!!!
Then, compete for the whole month!!! Earn points - which will turn into DIGS for the Treasure Hunt that is set aside COMPLETELY for marathoners for the month of July!!!
Here are the ways you can help your newbie:
Give a delegation of HP or RC
Give them some tips and guides for Hive
Help them on DreemPort (in the discord or in comments!)
Read their posts and engage in their comment section
HERE are the ways you can earn POINTS with your team!
- write at least 2 posts per week (per team member) for DreemPort
- curate daily on DreemPort
- enter at least one of those posts for the DreemPort challenge
- Use tweets to promote your posts (and tag dreemport - @kenechukwu97 will get you connected with our dreemport channel there!)
- Use threads to promote your posts too!
- Participate in bounties and featured posts, and drop comments!
- share your #dreemerforlife love in those comments when youre engaging genuinely and fully!! (maybe get Comment of the Day!)
- nominate your FAVORITE comments on your own posts!
- meet at LEAST one newbie and encourage them on the HHYM posts posted by @jamerussell each week
... and maybe a few more ways to earn points too!!
Unlike in the past where we've had 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners - EVERYONE who participates is a winner... the level that you achieve is the level that you set for yourself to reach!
WHERE DO YOU FIND YOUR NEWBIES??
If you'd like to find one for yourself, or you'd love to join a team already made... head into our discord channel, and drop some comments saying that you're looking for a team! @mcyusuf should be floating around in the channel, and available to answer some of your questions! or... just head into the #hhym-marathon room and find yourself a newbie there that you connect with!!!
WE BEGIN NEXT MONDAY - SO YOU HAVE A WEEK TO FIND YOUR NEWBIE, OR JOIN A TEAM... or maybe YOU are a newbie and want to join in the fun! come come come!!! We would love to have you!
Get ready- start looking - start connecting!!! Next Monday, the fun begins!
see you then!!!
