One of those times you wake up and find yourself inching closer to your goals and that leaves a very happy feeling inside of you. Starting from zero, anything more than a single digit on a social media platform feels good. Let's be honest, end of the day these numbers don't mean much if you aren't able to positively impact lives of those around you!

That's the only use of a large following. Do a little good in this life while you still can!

Social media is like a drug. If you like it and can enjoy it in fair dosages it's alright. You can also get absorbed by it. I've absorbed this platform and feel like i'm totally immersed into it. These days it's nearly impossible to write steem-I meant steam! By default my mind switches to 'Steem.'

A fellow whale friend told me that too much of anything is bad for you and it's important to take a break from all of this regularly. But you see, I'm a workaholic. I have a hard time switching off. I get restless if I'm not doing something productive. My time is limited and I prefer utilising it in a way that it benefits me or someone or a cause that I believe in.

I love this platform and I see a great potential for it globally. But looking at how trending is off late, that's going to take a while. Bad actors pop up and that's pretty much unstoppable. Hopefully our community will learn to take care of it's self in a better way.

I've been engaged in some community building activity off late as I try to onboard new users from India onto Steemit. We're adding nearly 300K users on our exchanges here on a monthly basis and I would love to see some of these users buy into Steem. I've been working towards spreading the word about the positives of our blockchain technology and educate many users.

It's taken me 27 days from my last milestone post to reach here and I hope by the time I get to 20K users I will have more stories to share. I also hope to accomplish a few tasks that I've set out to do by that time.

Blogging on Steemit is one of my favourite activities. An increase in my following has led to a direct increase in the comments I receive on a regular basis. That coupled with hundreds of views on my blog motivates me to continue my efforts. I'm not a developer but as a small influencer on a fast growing platform, I'm pretty good at bridging the gap between the product and the end consumer.

Devs can build the best stuff in the world, but people won't simply use it if it isn't properly marketed!

As a member of this platform I enjoy playing that role very much and I hope to do that throughout this year and assist in further growth of the Steem blockchain globally in more than one way.

Meanwhile, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank each and everyone of you who read my blogs and share your valuable feedback. It encourages me to continue moving forward towards the goals I've set for myself. Let's work together to raise the bar and make this a great platform in the year to come.
