Writing & Reviews in Numbers

This is a brand new report that we will be releasing from now on, as this community keeps growing at a very fast pace. Of course, that's thanks to all of you and the commitment that you show!

Parameters under review:

• Increase in subscriptors fortnight over fortnight
• Contests: New ideas and participation
• Our contribution to the community
• Support to our fellow writers

Subscriptors over time

We're growing at a very fast pace since we started this community in September 2020. Nine day ago we reached another milestone that was 3000 subscribers:

We made a post celebrating this with all of you. It can be found here.

Right now, we have over 3,5K subscribers, which means an increase of almost 19% week over week.

As part of our campaign of growth, we're inviting users constantly by checking hashtags and letting them know that we exist and that they are all welcome. As well as this, we're also inviting as many newcomers as we can and find! :)

Contests

We have started running weekly contests from the very first time and they have all been really successful. Week over week we have an increase in the number of people that take part and, also, their entries get better, which we believe that is a huge contribution to Steemit platform. We don't only look for people to express themselves, but also to help Steemit grow through encouraging users to create better quality and exclusive content.

This week, we also started with a new idea that are the flash contests. This is an idea we had in which there's a very precise task that users will need to perform, it only lasts three to four days (that's why we called it 'Flash') and it's a great way of keeping our community with new content. And it's also real fun! :)

Contest	# Participants	Winners	Prizes

We're also running a new weekly contest: What's you biggest dream in life?

Our contribution to the community

We're constantly working on this community to grow, so we're always trying to bring up new material and also create posts than can be helpful for others. This fortnight we also have come up with the idea of an anthology of all the posts that we had done some time ago.

• The 10 Commandments of Steemit by @belenguerra

Support to our fellow writers

As part of the Steemit's Communities Support Program, we've been curating every day and picking those posts that we believe deserved to be recognized and rewarded. We're really grateful towards the Steemit team to have this opportunity.

Here you can find our weekly selection for the Communities Support Program:

• W & R Steemit Communities Support Program: March 29th to April 4th
• ⭐⭐ Weekly report for Steemit's Communities Support Program: 05.04 - 11.04 ⭐⭐

As well as this, we have also kept on doing our Top Picks of the Week as another way of recognizing and supporting all those posts that we believe that everyone should read!

Here you can find our Top Picks posts:

• 🌟 WRITING & REVIEWS: TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK 🌟
• Writing and Reviews: Top Picks of the week, Sunday 11 (April)

As well as this, we try to vote and comment on many posts as we can. We believe it's vital to encourage people and it's also a nice way to show them how grateful we feel towards their commitment with our community.

Thank you all for reading!

Please let us know what you think of this and if there's any other statistic you want to know about the community.
Also, thank you @steemcurator01 for the huge support you always give us!
