What's The Biggest Lesson I've Learned In The Past 2 Years...

avatar


Yesterday marked my 2 year anniversary on Steem...

When I hit certain milestones on the blockchain, I start looking at stats, numbers and of course....Steemitboard!

Yeah I'm a huge fan of @Steemitboard and it's creator @Arcange

For a few reasons but mainly this site gives me two of the more intriguing metrics I use to 'judge' how well I'm doing with my Steem journey...

steem

Average Upvotes Per Post

And Average Post Rewards (Steem Power)

These two numbers is what I've been monitoring every week since I got on the blockchain. It shows me the power of constant engagement and creation on Steem. And cements my belief in this simple truth...

And arguably the most important lesson I've learned since I've found this community...

You have to show up, daily, to make a real impact!

In everything in life really, but even more so when it comes to community based platforms like Steem.

Here's what I mean....

A quick screen shot of a few extra numbers that Steemitboard provides shows you....The power of daily engagement.

There's something to note...

I've created 709 posts (this one will be 710) since I joined Steem. That means 20 days missed in 730 days on the blockchain....

It's not perfect but I've made a commitment to show up, and create!

But there's a more important number to note ....

9035 comments :)

Now while I admit, I don't do as much engagement as I should that's still something that shows me...The more I engage, the more those other two numbers above start to rise...

12 comments a day!

This is the number I want to see increase....Everyday. And I believe this is the one metric we should focus on more than any others.

Not the price. Not the rewards. Upvotes are a bonus. Curation is cool. Comments are appreciated....

But what are YOU contributing to the blockchain via engagement. That's the key to all this stuff, and the metric that determines your future growth on Steem.

I encourage you, stick to that metric and focus on engaging through comments as much as you can.

And hey Jongo....Start taking your own advice too and keep commenting :)

Thank you @jongolson! I'm also a big fan of both 😂

Joke apart, your metrics are quite impressive. And yes, engagement and commitment are the key to success.

BTW, you should give a try to SteemReply. A helpful tool I made to manage your Steem network 😉

Agreed...And it's something we can control. Price, hardforks all that stuff has little to do with what we do everyday, but when we engage, we control our own experiences here.

I remember the first goals you set here on steem and very soon afterwards you blew past them, and had to set new yearly goals and withing 6 months you blew past them. 2 years it has been quite the adventure so far. It will be interesting to see how we are doing in another 2 years.

Writing things down man. It's huge. And when you keep looking at it daily, you get closer to your goals....Sounds weird, but it works!

Steemitboard by @arcange is a really great tool to keep track of those metrics Jon, and I check them every time I get a comment from Steemitboard, and thank him for it, and he also has another great tool for answering comments, and he already mentioned that, Steemreply, it saves a lot of time and you won't miss any comments or mentions.

Hello dear friend @jongolson.

This is the number I want to see increase .... Everyday. And I believe this is the one metric we should focus on more than any others.

Friend, if this is your biggest lesson learned in these 2 years, then let me tell you: you hit the spot!

Since I joined this platform I could immediately realize the potential of the comments. This is the greatest tool to contact others and strengthen true bonds of friendship. Exchanging opinions is how we can really grow.

Following your advice, I went to Steemitboard and consulted my metrics: proudly I am the author of 21K comments. Wow this is amazing to me!

Thanks for sharing this post, I found it great!

All best, Piotr.
