The first month of the year is moving on and I guess quite a few of us here on Scorum are stuck in winter now. Fortunately we didn’t get so much snow yet where I am living, but the cold season isn’t over yet at all. I am glad to see that things have calmed down a little bit here on Scorum and people started focusing on doing what they can best.
As for me I will introduce another Scorum user today who I have accompanied last week through my Scorum Patronage initiative. The last beneficiary was @santiago60, whose blog I checked out for a whole seven days to read his articles and to support him with my upvotes.
What is Scorum Patronage?
Scorum Patronage is my commitment to support and motivate new and aspiring writers, and to help same to get some needed attention.
You can read more about it in last week's nomination post:
Who is @santiago60
@santiago60 has joined Scorum in December and he is another of our Spanish speaking members who also takes on the challenge of writing in English. I like it when people don’t mind the extra effort to post in two (or even more) different languages.
He is writing about a wide range of topics and he even covers sports which aren’t always in the limelight. Nice to some post about chess, I think it has been quite a while since I came across this challenging brain sports.
And it seems that one of his passions is boxing, since some of his posts last week revolved around this sports and he is frequently writing about it.
And of course there are some football articles too, I really enjoyed reading his post about his choices for the best football players in history. Of course that is a topic everyone could argue about but it could make for a great community discussion.
His choice of the best football player ever is Lionel Messi, and I am sure there is a world full of people who will agree with this, but also tons of people who would like to argue about that. Hopefully in the future those kind of article could also attract more interaction in form of comments or a fair and funny discussion. Writing engaging articles seems to be an art we all need to work on more.

Good to see to have another writer on board to is willing to dedicate himself to writing interesting blogs about the exciting world of sports. His recent posts did all catch some attention and ended with quite a good post reward, so probably my humble assistance has helped to shine some more light on his profile. Glad I could be of some help!
And @santiago60, don't worry. I will surely continue to check out what you have to write and say in the future, even this round of Scorum Patronage has ended. And it would be great if you could also visit some of the former Scorum Patronage beneficiaries profiles to link up and help building our creative community.
And everybody else, please have a look at his blog, say Hello to him and check out some of his posts. And I am sure he will be happy about some encouraging comment or upvote as well.
The next nomination round is coming soon
After one round finished the next round is already going to start, so there will be no break for Scorum Patronage. This week I am supporting the next user and in a couple of days we will start nominations for the following week again.
Of course I have noticed that we are running low with people joining and coming over to drop a name of some other user who might need some assistance. However, my aim is to support a different writer in each different week this year, so I still have some work to do.
I will run Scorum Patronage as long as there are genuine and creative writers who are struggling finding readers for their sport blogs. I hope through my assistance those writers will feel motivated to create even better posts and keep up their good work. Not every of our articles goes sky-high and sometimes it could feel a bit discouraging, seeing our own contribution getting sucked and lost in the big Scorum nirvana. That's why some little support can often go a long way and really help to build strong links and ties between other members of our growing community.
Let us all be known for positive actions, for genuinely caring for other Scorum members too and for a welcoming and embracing atmosphere. If we really care about the future of Scorum we need to support those who are not as successful as we are, even though our actions won't see any immediate reward. Let's get out of our groups and circles and find those writers who might need some support. Read some new blogs, leave encouraging comments and upvotes, and eventually take the little time to nominate somebody at the next Scorum Patronage round. Being nominated alone could be a huge motivation for somebody to continue writing good articles.
I am very thankful for all that positive feedback I got so far and also for seeing some of the writers, who I supported during the Scorum Patronage rounds before, doing now very well and being fully integrated in our active Scorum community. That's where I want to see everybody else as well.
I am always open for your comments or suggestion, and you can also talk to me in the Scorum Patronage discord channels I am running on the I am Scorum server.
Catch you all soon!
