Introducing the DUnite Buddy Challenge
We're introducing a unique new way for members of the DUnite group to become more successful week after week! Here's everything you'll need to know about this new program and how to sign up.
What is the Buddy Challenge?
Simply put, it's a weekly activity in which members of DUnite will be placed into groups of streamers based on size, content, and timezone. The goal of these groups will be to network and support the other members of the group. After being paired together it'll be your job to:
- Get to know the other content creators in the group
- Watch and comment on each other's streams
- Resteem each other's posts
- Upvote each other
- Do collaborations
- Shout out each other
- And find any other way to support other group members throughout the week.
How it works:
First and foremost, you need to understand that this isn't a free ride to more followers, viewers, or upvotes. If you want to partake in the DUnite Buddy Challenge, you need to have a willingness to network and provide value to the other streamers in your group.
If you go into the Buddy Challenge with the intent of getting to know other streamers and making genuine friends you have the right mindset. With that said, here's how it works.
Every Wednesday, we'll put up a post announcing sign ups for the buddy challenge. If you want to partake, you'll need to do the following:
- Join our discord. This will be how we communicate which group you are in, so it's necessary you're part of the DUnite discord.
- Each Buddy Challenge will have a link to a form. Fill that out and ensure the information within is correct.
- Be sure to contribute, if it's found that you routinely fail to contribute to your small group you'll be blocked from participating in the challenge in the future.
Once you've signed up and are in the discord, you'll be sorted into a small group of streamers who are similar in size, time zone, and content. Small group members will be announced on Friday of each week, and you'll spend the next week getting to know and helping out the other members of your group.
We listed a few ways you can network above but we'll put a full list of ideas for networking and supporting each other here:
- Hop on a group call using discord and have each member of the group share their story of how they got to where they are in streaming
- Join each other's streams as a viewer and spend time chatting on stream.
- Squad up in a game and stream simultaneously, shouting out the other streamer during.
- Follow each other on Steem and other social profiles.
- Reshare each other's posts.
- Upvote each other's content.
- Leave feedback at the end of the week with 1 thing you liked about their stream and 1 thing you felt they could improve on.
But these are just the ideas that we thought up. We'd love to see you share your unique ideas for working together and promoting each other!
