For all those fairly new accounts out there struggling and thinking what and how to grow don't panic, it isn't you. This place takes time to understand and once you understand you will start to grow. Take your time and learn as much as you can. I see myself as the chap on the hamster wheel as I haven't stopped if you hadn't of guessed already.
My one year birthday was yesterday, but not really a big deal for me as I see it as the first of many.I have a 5 year plan and have never forgotten a wise mans words saying that this was the same as doing a degree.This place will test your skills and overtime you will create new ones. This is how we adapt to the various challenges that are thrown at you on here.
I am keen to dissect my first year though as I haven't had the luxury of investing any funds and this is all starting from 0 SP on March last year. I have looked at Steemworld and calculated I will have over 3500 SP sometime next week. This equates to an average of nearly 10 Steem per day. I think in the future we will see the last 6 months as a key area for accounts growing and taking advantage of the low price of Steem.
There is hope for the new accounts though as when you break up the earnings over the yearly period you will see how it snowballs and accumulates as you grow.I wrote a post 5 and a bit months ago about accumulative growth and here it shows how it has helped over the last 6 months or so.
I mentioned that the first 3 months I grew to 120 SP and then the next 3 months it went to around 520 or so. The last 6 months has been phenomenal though growing another 3000 SP. It shows you that through commitment and determination you can do it. It just takes some time and consistency every day doing the same thing. I think it becomes easier over time as you can see the growth and the value of what you are doing.
Everyone grows at different paces and this is not a race. Not everyone has the same skill sets and we all have different techniques.You will experience quiet periods and then periods of growth so just keep at it.
Happy Steeming and power up.

Thanks Peter. No money invested, just shed loads of time. I reckon at least a third of the year on here averaging 8 hours a day. This was my second job and just took it seriously.

And I thought that I was serious! 😁
But it will be worth it!
Finally activated the account of my oldest son, so that he has a head start if he wants to take it over!

You've done very well. Keep at it and you'll end up under some palm tree somewhere with a Pina Colada in your hand. :)

Thanks so much for the kind words. I normally use inspiration to keep me focused. Doing this every day is tiring, but still fun and I think that is very important.

Slow is the new 'fast'. Just keep on doing what you're doing - your growth is very decent and way above average. Congratz on the 1 year, although I hear you: let's congratulate each other when we're celebrating our 5 year anniversary ;-)

totally agree the first year is meaningless if you just sit back now. Now is the time to do even more and get more involved. Will remind you in 4 years time.

for me it was about the same, I made about 2.5k in the first year and then the price dropped a lot and I bought some in this bear market.
I hope to be buying some more in the near future but that does not stop me from blogging either.
Keep powering up

That is awesome how you have been able to grow. I would probably not be where I am at today if I had not invested some of my own money. It wasn't a big deal for me though because I believe in Steem and what it can do for so many people!
