December has closed itself upon us, welcoming the new month of January in the New Year, 2024. We are continuing our program of rewarding our members and participants as outlined here. January 2nd was the day that these and other monthly rewards have been sent out. Rewards for posts have already been sent out throughout the duration of the month.

We’ve now better optimized our count of comments, threads, and posts, thanks to the diligent work of @crazyphantombr. We’re organizing our data in a clearer way so that everyone can transparently see how we rewarded our wonderful community members and participants.

We managed to get a little bit of info on referrals to the community this time – if you referred anyone to this community, or were referred by someone, please let me know asap!

Screenshots of HSBI Rewards

Of note, we used a new community account to distribute the rewards this time. A post describing it will be published later this month.

Now we split the monthly rewards into 6 to accommodate all of our inaugural members! Whew! I don’t expect to have more inaugural members from this point forward, but we’re likely going to prune this list a little bit prior to the next rewards, as I believe some members either left or were disqualified based on the guidelines suggested to us by HSBI (this is a very small number).

Our total HSBI given out once again increased, but it seems that total activity remained relatively similar. We’re going to keep trying to spice things up to ensure our activity levels keep in tip-top shape!

Check if You’ve Been Rewarded Correctly!

We’re all human here, and mistakes can happen. That’s why it’s best to double-check that you’ve been rewarded as promised.

The best way to check whether you received the rewards that you were due is to check up HSBI’s website and input your username. You’ll go here, enter your username, then click on transaction history, and finally on sponsored HSBI. Look for hive-140084 under “sponsor.”

If I missed out sending you on any rewards, please let me know promptly so that I can correct it. It takes up to a day to process what I sent out, so if you don’t see it by now, I’ll send whatever you let me know is missing.

Upcoming Contests and Rewards!

Tomorrow we’ll be announcing our winners for the monthly engagement and promotion contests, and within 2-3 days our nominees for Post of the Month, Compliment of the Month, and Non-Compliment Comment of the Month! We’ll also keep working on and announce our Threads-based contest this month.

Outside of contests/rewards, we’ll also keep working on our mental health initiative, and also the financial aspect of the community. You’ve already seen posts from the mental health initiative account (a post with more descriptions will be coming this month), and you’ll also see posts from a couple of new accounts this month as well. Exciting stuff, if I may say so myself!

Conclusion

We’ve completed HSBI Unit payouts for December, and continue to build our curation power and other initiatives. The community is growing wonderfully, and the foundations for its functionality have already been set in concrete. Once Hive as a whole has a resurgence of active membership, we’re going to explode in activity, earn lucratively, and most importantly: spread joy far and wide!

Don’t forget that you have the option to add hive-140084 as a 5% or 10% beneficiary to your post in order to support the community’s growth. We also give out Ecency Boosts and promotions for posts, sometimes a few per day!

Have I captured all of the rewards correctly? How else can we increase engagement within the community?

I would love to hear any and all opinions about these topics from everyone who is currently a member of FreeCompliments, since you’re all inaugural members! Anyone else who finds this page is also very welcome to voice their opinion. We’re all about free speech, and everyone’s experience has value.

More posts with further ideas incoming soon!

Disclaimer: FreeCompliments will be a beneficiary for this post, and I will attempt to boost it via Ecency points as well.

Follow our curation trail and earn 1 HSBI per month!
