In the last few days I've come across posts by long time Steemers wherein they discuss helping and retaining new members. This is a problem!
In this one by @steevc Ten K Minnows Project: Brainstorming he outlines the problem and refers to his interaction with the well know community builder and trouble shooter @pennsif
Both of these experienced members specifically mention the under utilization of contests by Steem block chain users. @pennsif made a partial list of contests here: SoS : Contests roundup @ 21 February 2019 [Spread the news & win GAME tokens]

Please Note My discussion With @steevc and @pennsif Here
A Killer DApp For Contests!
I maintain that we need a front end for contests. A landing page where those interested in contests and prizes can find all current contests in an easy to navigate and constantly updated format. This could be a huge new community for us! Could something along the lines of what SteemHunt is doing work well?
We could find a way to monetize the site and it could also attract outside advertisers, prize donators and new users!
To understand how popular internet contests are a google search shows many sites listing the various on line contests.
Who Will Build It?
I'd love to see members like @starkerz and @anarcotech co-founders of Oracle-D and the Steem Business Alliance get involved in such a project. Or what about @exyle and his merry band at @blockbrothers?
If someone wants research done or brainstorming ideas I'm a low tech businessman and serial entrepreneur with lots of ideas and I'm available for discussions.
If We Build It They Will Come! What Do You Think?
- Do you see the potential of a contest DApp for the Steem blockchain?
- Do you think that it would help sub minnows and minnows?
- Would it help with user retention?
- Could it attract outside advertisers?
Thanks for following me on my travels and I look forward to sharing my adventures with you.
Until next time,
