An Example Of How To Succeed On STEEM

A lot of people come on STEEM expecting the quick hit and then get frustrated when it does not occur. Perhaps it is the marketing by some ignorant Steemians who believe it is a good idea to troll Facebook and YouTube touting the idea that one can make thousands of dollars on a post in 24 hours. Nevertheless, I see so many who lack a basic understanding of what it takes to make it on here.

@fullcoverbetting is not one of those people. This account is a model for what it takes to succeed.

Notice there was not a ton of SP to start with. This was not a Whale. Yet, in the course of a few months, the SP in the account increased significantly.

Let us take a look at what took place.

Three months ago, this account stood at roughly 270 SP. When the numbers were posted, the total was 586, or an increase of 316 SP. This amounts to a 117 percent increase in a little over 90 days. That is sensational growth.

Obviously, it did not come easy. It was slow yet steady. There most likely were not any $70 posts in there but the account is getting larger each day. Each activity is building upon what went before to accelerate the pace.

Here is what was written:

In the last post I did have 531.214 own SP, now at the moment of writing I do have 586.793 own SP. That is an increase of a little bit more than 55.5 SP.

The black line is the trend line, the blue line is the goal I do want to reach and the red line is my current progress.

As you can see I am running a little bit ahead. Normally I should have around 541. This is based on an increase of 13 SP per week. But in the last 3 weeks I over performed with 14.7 SP, 15.4 SP and last week even 20.213 SP. In the past 23 days the increase was 10%. So way above the inflation rate!

It is amazing, the payouts are increasing on a weekly basis. This certainly shows that the hard work is paying off.

Then there was this:

While it is getting harder to get a posting value above the $ the SP increase seems steady! But as human as I am I also look at the posting value expressed in $, strange cause I do know that it means shit!
Steem has a value of $0.69. This means that all upvotes value did lose a third of their value!

Don't be fooled and don't look at the posting value in $. Try to see it as just a representation of vests, because this is what counts.

It is truly wonderful to see someone understand the system and work within it. How does this account compare to others? It does not matter. What matters is we see an individual who was able to more than double an account in about 100 days. This would not occur if frustration, complaining, and resentment set in.

We all should simply focus upon our own account. While 500 SP at 70 cents isnt going to set someone up for life, this 100 day move could have serious impact if STEEM reaches some of the potential many of us believe it has.

I cite this article because it encompasses what I usually discuss on here. The entire reason I put together Minnow Uprisings is to try and get people to think exactly like this. Do what is needed to grow your own account. This comes from active posting and content creation. While each post might not yield a great deal, over time, it all adds up.

@fullcoverbetting was a mid-grade Plankton 100 days ago. Today, the account moved to Minnow status. This is one of the categories that is going to make a huge different on the blockchain going forward. As more people start participating, it is going to get harder to acquire SP. In a couple years, Minnow might well be a huge level to achieve.

I am sure @fullcoverbetting will keep going and adding to this account. I hope that others see this example as a path to success.

Look at it this way: 310 SP in 100 days at these levels:

$5 = $1,550
$10 = $3,100
$20 = $6,200
$50 = $15,550
$100 = $31,000
$1000 = $310,000

Do you think @fullcoverbetting is going to complain about any of those payouts? None of them are bad for posting on a website for 3 months. Even at $5, that is still earning over $500 a month for posting, commenting, and upvoting.

That surely beats having a second job.

Thank you to @fullcoverbetting for posting your activity and the growth of your account. I suggest everyone who wants to reap the benefits from STEEM consider doing the same thing. Consistent growth of one's account, no matter where it stands at today could be life changing. Looking at the numbers, it does not take a mythical run in STEEM for one to enjoy a rather nice return.

I fully believe there will be a day when 500 SP is going to be considered a tremendous amount. Anyone who is not at that point yet should strive to get there. I think you will be happy you did.
