When I participated in @merej99 Community Engagement Challenge is when I gained the most followers and my reputation increased the fastest it has the whole time I've been on here. Her stipulation was to write 500 posts/comments in ten days. Man, that pushed me, and I was struggling st the end, but it definitely taught me how to engage with other people and support the work of everyone else. While I haven't been able to keep that same pace, I definitely have started to put Engagement with others over producing my own work at times.

Oh wow! That actually sounds like a very appealing way to encourage the community to engage. And it wroked perfectly for you! Did the contest included a prize? What was it? Oh wow, you just gave me an amazing idea for the mexican community... for real...! Thank you so much for dropping by and commenting! I am so happy I already follow you :D
There was a prize involved...but it didn't go to just one person...it went to all of the people who achieved the parameters set by @merej99. She had received several donations and hen more rolled in as the challenge continued. The total pool of money was split equally among all the challengers who finished. She was also going on vacation for a week and so she delegated her SP to one random winner for a week. As the challenge wore on, people were encouraging and helping others to cross the finish line. It was pretty amazing to see people that committed to helping others finish! I know there was talk of her running another round at some point. I'm sure you could go check out her posts about the challenge progress and you'd learn a ton! It'd be worth your time. It'd be fun if you started something like that for your community too!
Oh my I will definitely go through her posts right now! Damn this late replying is killing me, but hey, at least I saw this. Sounds like she has a good thing going on and she shares it with a lot of people, I like that type of person :)
