Progress Report - September

10-2--2019

Tracking and Growth

Every month is seems I think of something to add to my tracking table. I should think about adding how much my current SP is. Perhaps next Month I will do two tables. make a return to the Original Table with just the* Post*, Comments, Votes, Self Votes, Vote percentage, and Approx SP Earned. It also looks like I may need to think about some other adjustments to the table format to keep it usable.

I think I had a pretty nice month Hard Forks and all. The table shows some slight improvements, very nice to see the Approx SP row increasing slowly but steadily. Hopefully that will hold out through this month also.

Posting:

I mentioned how last month how I would like to get my Post number back into the 15-16 range, I was happy to see that I did manage to put a couple more post out than the previous month. So we will see if I am able to keep the post flowing or not. 13-14 post on a monthly average may be it for me.

Comments:

Comments are important to me, I do like to get them, but mostly I like to leave them, it seems I was a bit slow in making comments last month, that is a number I really would like to get back up to the 400 range, and I did not even come close last month. Hopefully this month will be much better.

Votes/Self Votes:

Still no self votes, I am approaching an SP level where a self vote would help, but I still have not been able to come around to voting on my own content.

With the Hard Fork and the increased amount of voting going on, I do not feel as bad as I thought I would lowing my general everyday vote down to the 25% Level. I still reserve out a few 100% votes for special content, and some 50% vote levels for content that is under-voted and I feel needs more attention.

So far it seems to be working out pretty good. I still don't have much of a curation vote habit, my voting is still pretty much on stuff that I like to read and see, so the timing of a vote is not something I have gotten into yet.

I do hit and reload my feed a bit when looking for things to read or look at and have gotten pretty lucky on a few of the people I read that do get lots of votes, but I am also in the early vote crowd of a lot of the others in my feed. So I still vote here and there time wise on content, so keep the resteems going if you find it interesting even if it is three days old, you never know I might see it and read it and like it and vote it. It happens.

Aprox SP Earned

This is a nice number this month. Also as you can see I did remember and add the separation out of where the Approx SP Earned came from. So how is HF 21/22 working out for me as an occasional content provider?

Last month about 8 of the SP was from curation, so that would have made the Author reward about 69 SP. This month the Author Reward was about 70 SP. So not a real earth shattering drop in rewards, I would have to look at what the average award per post was last month and then what the average per post for this month was, which is August 6.2 SP, September 5.3 SP. but still far better than it was 6 months ago which was about 1.5 SP per post. It would be nice if the new numbers per post hold up trend wise but one month a trend does not make.

Conclusion

Adding on to last weeks conclusion:

On August 3rd, I had 1,804.212 SP, and I mentioned last month how I was closing in on the 2000 SP mark and that I might make it. Make it I did to 2000 SP. Today September 5th I have 2,012.442 SP.

Today my current SP is 2,118.167 SP, a 106 SP increase over September 5th's data.

The difference in the 84 SP earned number and the 106 SP increase is due to the other tribe coins, and tips and gifts. It all adds up, all those tiny votes and those tiny votes given, after a little bit you begin to notice the effect.

If you are interested; The Curation and Engagement League, run by Asher is a great place to start tracking your engagement levels on steem block chain. (the link will take you to last Sundays league post).
