Description
This contest aims to motivate existing members to be actively engaged with promoting Free TON in their social media circles and be rewarded in TONs.
Members will be required to swiftly respond to a social media call asking them to post an image provided by Free TON Africa to express and publicly display their enthusiasm to the Free TON brand and also use it as their profile picture everywhere they have an account on social media. The quickest, most effective and most efficient members will get rewarded for their enthusiastic efforts. (All within the Meritocratic Token Distribution Ideology).
Motivation
First, to purely facilitate the acquisition of TON, and offering all joined up members an equal chance of possessing a piece of the Free TON ecosystem, so as to instill a sense of ownership when their position automatically changes from spectators to owners of TON. To change the perception of Free TON amongst many Africans from a 3rd person outsider view (that Free TON – that belongs to others) to a 1st person insider view (my Free TON – which I own a piece of).
Secondly, to start cultivating an emotional attachment and enthusiasm to the brand where TON holding members are able to push the envelope a bit further, so as to strengthen the Free TON brand (because they are in it heart, mind and soul, trust the brand, and can vouch for it), and also, to achieve many other hidden aspirations that any human would aspire to achieve after investing their faith, time, financial resources and all other efforts into building a project, amongst them financial success/freedom, diversity/expansion, fulfillment, brand takeovers, bragging rights, etc. Positive emotional attachment will guarantee some progress since members who own a piece of the Free TON ecosystem will be able to selfless help chart the way forward, support and positively criticize the efforts of the organizing team and will be keen on the deliberations being made because they have a personal stake in the brand and stand to benefit directly from the efforts and outcomes of the daily workings in the community.
Third to sufficiently create a localized pool of open, honest, welcoming, keen, eager, forward seeking, contented, committed, informed and collaborative group of lead users who are able to beforehand consume proposals, contests, programs and partnerships when they are being rolled out and can pull together with the organizing team to not only promote, grow and expand the Free TON ecosystem by social networking, but also by word of mouth.
And that view is also sufficiently captured in the Free TON catchphrase: For the good of free trade and digital open borders.
