# Posting Rewards
[UFM](https://steem-engine.com/?p=market&t=UFM) posting and curation rewards are now available for those posting in and voting on posts in #upfundme. Crowdfunding will remain the core of UpFundMe, however more is required to keep us from becoming a spam machine. We would like to see contests, giveaways, airdrops, services and posts related to your crowdfund (if you have one). **Please note, SCOT settings may change after we launch the site.**
# Crowdfunding Structure
In the past, things felt a little spammy in #upfundme but we intend to bring that to an end. We will no longer upvote or support a copy and paste of the same post over and over again. - To start a crowdfund, create a post on UpFundMe (or using #upfundme on your favorite front end). - Be sure to add in #crowdfunding. - This should be only posted once, and you can refer back to it in future posts. - Give lots of details and pictures. - Make sure your crowdfund has a clearly stated goal, preferably in either UFM, STEEM or USD. - Your UFM balance will be considered your progress towards this goal. - Updates on your funding progress are encouraged, but must be new content not already posted. - If you're starting a project or service for STEEM, consider adding benefit options for those who support you. - Communicate with those who engage you on your posts, answering a question could mean the difference between a big upvote, or a large downvote. - Power up some [UFM](https://steem-engine.com/?p=market&t=UFM) to support others, this may encourage them to support you. - Try to be open and honest when doing your initial crowdfunding post, as well as in updates. - You can also post your quality content within #upfundme, helping you attain your crowdfunding goals faster.
# Encouraged Tags
Besides the obvious crowdfunding and charity tags, we would also like to see content from the following tags within UpFundMe: - airdrop - contest - giveaway - services (steem, tribe and others) - crypto - blockchain - news - life More tags may be added to this list over time. **You can use other tags and content** on #upfundme, but the majority of our vote power will go towards crowdfunding, charity and the above tags.
# SBI Donation
We donated 100 UFM power to @sbi1 - @sbi10, 900 UFM power total. The hope is that this will give most users a little boost when they use #upfundme. If need be, we may increase this amount to make it effective.
