# Introduction 7 days have gone since my last CR report and its time to make a fresh one. As a CR, my work cuts across mentorship, recruitment and assisting newbies in my country. Here is a report of my activities in the last 7 days. ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYZ7YwvJ7FAMuHgBBCHFhHv7y8F5kpuf9Pcn8dts5m53b/image.png) # 1. Powering up to remain in Club75 Remaining in club75 is as important as anything. So I made sure I do not transfer more than 25% of my earnings over the last 2 months. That is exactly what I have done and hence remain in the club. You can see a screenshot of my transaction history below: ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVvbzaLWZSg4KnY5i1xAfhJAr86rhzUFMjaV4UFKmu18c/image.png) ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYZ7YwvJ7FAMuHgBBCHFhHv7y8F5kpuf9Pcn8dts5m53b/image.png) # 2. Update on Steem Business Directory - 719 Steem Powered The first week of Steem Business Directory has come and gone. It was really a huge week as our promoters where able to reach out to and successfully convince 3 small business to invest in Steem. A total of 719 Steem was invested. You can see details of the effort in the update below: ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTy7GtS4BtzoZEtuXM5MPCJnH3yGKg5LVVm4sA2d72c8F/image.png) [Update #1 : Steem Business Directory - 3 businesses signed up and invested 719 Steem!

Convincing @gabcash to invest I was able to successfully convince another small business to invest in Steem. It has not been easy to get these businesses to buy Steem, especially for a service that we simply promised them to offer. Many of these businesses just took a risk. It will be a matter of time before they really come out with the main investment. They are smply taking risk, which is why they have started small. @gabcash invested 277 Steem as can be seen in his wallet below. I am yet to instruct the business to write introduction post. ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQWoM7zA5wXz6AToRn4FiXFPnDMgxTqKYkz6Gi9n1e1SG/image.png) [@gabcash wallet](https://steemitwallet.com/@gabcash/transfers) ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYZ7YwvJ7FAMuHgBBCHFhHv7y8F5kpuf9Pcn8dts5m53b/image.png) # 4. Proposing and making my first #all4null post While everyone is interested in Steem growth, ideas keep coming as to how to achieve it. Pormpted by the Steemit team to suggest what #club200 will look like, I with another user @jueco came up with the #all4null proposal. With this proposal, we encourage users to make at least 1 post each week and burn the Steem by setting the rewards 100% beneficiary to @null. Maybe this together with other projects will be key to a future healthy price of Steem in the nearest future. You can see the proposal below: ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZ4xkWvJ22fP8RvnJKeD32aAnu2FWwtTMQKqFUuBZjCVk/image.png) [A proposal Introducing #all4null - Make one or more posts per week and set the rewards 100% to @null](https://steemit.com/hive-167622/@focusnow/a-proposal-introducing-all4one-make-one-or-more-posts-per-week-and-set-the-rewards-100-to-null) ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYZ7YwvJ7FAMuHgBBCHFhHv7y8F5kpuf9Pcn8dts5m53b/image.png) # 5. Contests Our Community SteemAlive have been known for contests. I make sure to always publish contests on Sundays, so that our users will have something to work on the following week.
