STEEMIT: As we begin to make our way into August I have stuck my neck out and fixed the average for August to set the target for the number of Accounts at Year End.

Recently I set a Minimum Target of 650,000 Accounts by Year End.

This Minimum Target remains.

Over the last 2 days we have seen no fewer than 5,384 New Accounts registered on Steemit and though it is only 2 days, it is an average of 2,692 Accounts per day.

With 151 days remaining using this average would equate to no less than 406,492 New Accounts.

As we fast approach 300,000 Accounts and begin to make our way through August, I have stuck my neck out and fixed the average for August to set the Target for the number of Accounts at Year End.

By resetting the Target based on the average for August equates to no fewer than a total of 697,548 Accounts.

Based on the uptake of the Accounts over the last few weeks, I am therefore happy to maintain the Minimum Target set at 650,000 Accounts at the Year End, but cannot stress enough that Marketing & Promotion will play a key roll.

Thanks again for reading.

It seems like we have had a pretty consistent growth these couple of months with 2000+ users a day.
I'd like to know what the number would be like with HF 20 hits and it is easy to register.
Maybe we will get greater than 697,548 accounts
Thanks for the update Stephen! :)

You are welcome. By resetting the calculation based on August will allow us to monitor what is happening in the second half of the year. If we are able to maintain an average of 2,377 Accounts/Day for August-December then we will hit the 650,000. At 2,692 it keeps my powder dry..!! Stephen

Do you know when can we expect HF 20?

Need to keep on flyering those flyers!!

Absolutely. Just off to the printers to pick up the batch of xLarge T-Shirts for @Crypto-Curt dad. Will get them posted down to them. We need more promotion..!! Stephen

Had an idea. I have just let @anarcotech know that if he fancies meeting up in Hudderfield I am happy to pop over and hit the streets helping out with the flyers. I said that if we ask Matt @starkerz nicely he may come over and join us. Told him though not to ask you about my car keys and the letter box..!! hahaha. #priceless..!! Stephen

I have a premiership footballer lined up for a pic in the t-shirt..... not 100% yet, but coming on nicely! Yes, people should watch out, when you go flyering, there may be a free car included with the flyer! Could well be up for a session in hudders!! what are your plans on time?

Nothing fixed as yet for spending a day in Huddersfield, but if you are up for it I will have a chat with @anarcotech and see when it would suit him. A few of us hitting the University area on or around Freshers Week would be perfect. Stephen

Stephen, I can i suggest we arrange a freshers week tour around 5 or 6 different universities? I would be more than happy to join in. If interested in setting something up, lets organise on the batphone....

I bet you're right about your target. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the growth goes from a linear to a parabolic rate at some point. Who knows if that'll happen this year but if it does we could see over 1 Million users by the end of the year.

I'm pretty happy to have gotten in early even though my profile is only about 2 weeks old. In 3-5 years I'll probably look back at getting on steemit as one of the best financial decisions I've ever made. Imagine when there's 5 or even 10 million users...it's gonna be an amazing ride for sure.

This just means one thing - I need to go buy some more Steem right now!!! Thanks for the update!

while I hope you are I right I am still wondering how many of these accounts are doubles for already registered users?
Probably not this many I guess. What do you think?

Its a nice growth rate lets hope for best.

Next year you will reach a million in April or May!

It's good to see a consistent growth and proud to be part of this growth , in sure as years go by, and word spreads , this Willy ale over all of social media . Thanks for the update Stephan :) always like Stats

Thanks for the useful stats. Users like you and @elayque make me excited about Steem's growth. What will this mean for Steem's price on the market though? Will it only rise if a good portion of these new users invest?

I'll be checking back in 4 months time to see if your prediction was correct. :D

Pension Funds and Institutional Investors are what will shift the price. These guys will come in when they see a constant rise and steady growth in users. It will happen. We just need patience. Stephen

I think that steemit will be the first social network in the world because it has the potential to be, it is a new concept different in the world in the social networks, it is time to invest a deep money And time
Thank you for this post,

This will happen 100%. I promise

Looks optimistic. I wonder if resetting goal to 1 Million+ will force us to get creative at non-invasive marketing strategies?

Thank you for sharing the information.

Great stats Hope you are right :)
It's a great community.

While growth for sure it is a good thing, in my mind it can happen too fast. It is really important to achieve sustainable growth and ensuring that valuable and correct content is being produced and not just content for the sake of content as well as the need to eradicate spamming. Only then will investors arrive.

The difficult thing is to believe each account, due to the 27 SP per account

Good..
