I am always trying to find new ways to add value to the STEEM blockchain. Because when I do that, not only do I help the community but I also help my own account grow. The beautiful part of STEEM is that we can build amazing brands and awesome relationships, every day, doing things that we love.
And I'm in love with content creation...
From writing blog posts via @steempress to recording videos on @dtube ... There seems to be no shortage of awesome applications here on STEEM to broadcast our message to the world...
One of the projects I've been working on this past month is the #RoadTo177SP initiative. The goal is simple, teaching Steemians how to grow their account and generate more Steem Power. The problem that we come across is that people notice these whale account with hundreds of thousands of Steem Power and simply see it as levels they will never achieve...
They need something more realistic.
Something achievable that they CAN reach if they push themselves every day...
Here's a little trick I have been using for years, which I called 'Plus 1', that pushes us to be better at sunset than we were at sunrise.
And the best part is...We can use a very popular Steem tool to help guide us and inspire us to grow every day.
Let me introduce you a site that...Needs no introduction.... ;)
This amazing site run by @arcange has gamified the entire Steem experience. You receive badges for reaching certain levels and achievements on the blockchain. It's a fun way to see how close you are to your new achievement and if you know my history in online business...You'll know I'm a big fan of badges ;)
That being said...There are two measuring sticks that Steemitboard provides that has helped me since I began my mission in early 2018 to reach 5000 Steem Power.
Average Upvotes Per Post - This is a vanity metric in my opinion but still shows the engagement I'm getting. While it doesn't directly translate into how 'popular' my posts are, it's still a fun indicator to use in our journey. So you may not be getting 68 upvotes per post...Maybe you are starting your journey with 3 per post. Perfect! Aim for 4 tomorrow....When you hit 4, shoot for 5 next week...And so on. That is the 'Plus 1 Mentality'...Always be growing, even if it's in small chunks every day!
Average Post Rewards - This is my go to metric for measuring my growth on Steem when it comes to content creation. Right now I'm averaging over 12 Steem Power per post as a payout. That means I'm getting 12 SP every day because I post...Literally everyday! Again, maybe you are starting at 1 Steem Power per post...PERFECT!!!! Now shoot for 1.10 Steem Power tomorrow. After you hit that, push yourself a little more to reach 1.20 Steem Power and so on....Plus 1...Every day!
Do these simple measuring sticks mean that you will reach whale status in 4 weeks or less?
Absolutely not, but do you see how this stuff can start to compound? You almost make a game out of discovering new ways to add value to your content so that your numbers grow every day....This works!
If you have not yet read my post from last year about my journey to 5000 Steem Power, please do. I think that will show you how important it is to write down your goals today and using tool like Steemitboard, measure your growth...Every day!
Chip away, add value daily, because this stuff adds up and you will be on your way to 177 Steem Power in no time :)
I hope this was of value to you and helps you on your journey here on STEEM!
Want to grow your STEEM account but are still confused about what the difference between SBD and Steem Power are? We understand. Because we were stuck too...That's why we developed Steem Savvy...Your guide to the #RoadTo177SP

Yes, Jon. I followed your step by step growing and it worked. I reached my first goal rank up to Plankton II after a half year of activity. A short time later I reached the 177SP and now my next goal is to reach 332SP which means to become Plankton I.

The plus one method is a really good one, it's something I struggle with every day though, possibly because I have too many other distractions, but I have learned a lot from you with #steemsavvy and have managed to get to 100SP, next goal 177SP 👍 Thanks for providing all the great info and nuggets.

I find this personal development saying quite relevant to the context, despite the fact I'm not really sure who said it first or if it's the original version:
Most people overestimate what they can do in a day, but underestimate what they can do in a year.

Steemitboard is a great tool to enable new starters to track their evolution and to seat some goals. What would have be even better, would be a Steemitboard that gives some valuable upvotes when a new level was achieved...

I use a number of sites and analytics tools to track my progress and establish benchmarks to meet in order to have that continual improvement mentality like the plus one you mention. The importance of maintaining the right direction is huge as momentum often works in your favor when focus on the goals.

Same here. I'm enjoying the community. I'm pretty familiar with software development, but I catch myself wanting to get more and more involved with dapps and the like. I was never a blogger, but I'm enjoying documenting my thoughts and finding some people are interested. There is plenty to keep you busy here.
