*Side note watch the movie Darkest Hour that just came out freakin loved it!

Having a plan for anything in life is a good way to keep you on task and acomplish your bigger goal. Many people at the start of the year plan things like lose weight, make more money etc.

However what they fail to do is make daily plan small goals every day that will get them to their end goal.

Today I am going to focus on an action plan for steemit and how you can build your own!

What Are Your Goals ?

First map out what you want to acomplish this year, be reasonable as well!

Things such as 7 days a week for 52 weeks most likely wont happen. Your going to get sick, burned out, vacation etc that these into account when planning.

For myself My goals are

50,000 + Steempower
10,000+ Comments
1-3 Posts daily depending on content
100,000 + Followers

Next you want your current numbers

For myself they are...
4224 Steem Power
3880 Comments
Currently on task
3212 Followers

Subtract that from my year end goals and we get

45,776 Steem Power
6,120 Comments
On Task
96,788

Now the next step is mapping it out into daily to do activity to hit those goals
So take your number and divide it by the number of days remaining in the year today is - 326 days

For myself I get the following per day activity I need to do
140.41 Steem Per day
18.77 Comments per day
On task
296.89 Followers Per day

Now some of these sound like huge numbers however they also in a way Compound over time as they grow. As I get more followers my steem power earned should increase. As my steem power increases it helps my earnings and also my followers.

What are some of your goals for steemit and just in life?

Planning seems to be a recurring theme at the moment πŸ™‚
That's quite a goal for the end of the year! I 'm a bit stuck to be honest. I feel drained. Granted I am dealing with health issues currently but it also feels like Steemit is a huge time vacuum that's not really giving a return of more than maybe a dollar a day. I started experimenting with delegating directly to people, which is nice to do for those just starting out who need a boost if bandwidth but it's not profitable. ( you do seem to get a small amount of interest on a delegation but I haven't been able to find out how it is calculated. It works out at .001 sp every 6 hours on a 100 sp delegation)

I need to find my groove again.
The goal for the year would be if I could get to a place where I could withdraw around $300 usd each month.

Time to break out the notebook and plan out some posts. I have the content, it just needs to be compiled.

It feels like it's only the same 8 people who see my posts though. How would you go about growing your following?

I have a feeling if you keep at it you will get that $300 a month plus some by years end. Cryptocurrency I feel is going to really strive this year and steem has some nice improvements coming along with SMT (smart media tokens)

As much as people hate voting bots it is honestly a good way to get your article into the trending category and getting noticed by more people. It is honestly how I started to gain more traction. That plus of course when you have more voting power people seem attracted to that as well lol.

Thanks for your reply.

I tried the bots for a bit. There seems to be a lot of negativity towards using bots. If you self upvote it is frowned upon. If you use bots, it's frowned upon. If you have specific people that you upvote regularly, frowned upon again so it's hard to know if you should just be all out gaming the system or if you should just try to grow organically.
Decentralized maybe, but playground politics abound.

I managed to rent some sp through minnowbooster and was able to upvote all my followers comments for a while, which I really enjoy being able to do. But I haven't been able to get a hold of another lease for months now.

Have you found promoting a post to make any difference? I find it to be very hit and miss.

I agree, when the markets have settled and everyone has a better idea of how they're going to be dealing with crypto I think we'll see it going back up to December prices again.

Thanks for your encouragement and advice! I'm going to look into it again.

Where do you check your comment count? Or is that your total post count?

Total post count. I have a spreadsheet I track each day so I just subject my posts for the day from my new post count as of yesterday. I just run this on google docs.

Ah ok, I see. Thank you!

Honestly it's too early for me to know what my year-end goals should be here. I need more understanding of steemit first. You seem to have ambitious goals Sean. I hope you can make them happen! (btw, nice to find you here too)

Yeah I think I have big problems breaking down goals into small manageable chunks. I like this simple mathematical approach to it. Also because it allows the usage of spreadsheets, and who doesn't love spreadsheets?

My short term goals are to get many friends in Steemit, that my publications are more viewed and get many SP to help many in the community and many more things ;)
