Would you believe the price of STEEM is on the up again? We were on a downtrend since early January and I could feel the change of atmosphere within the communities around Steemit.
During the downtrend some people stopped posting, what douche-bags. Me on the other hand, after a short rest in January, continued as normal. This is crypto folks. The price will go up and down. If you stop posting cos the price is down, well I don’t know what to say really.
But now the price of STEEM is on the rise again and we are approaching 1 million registered accounts. But Guess what? Now I am going to take a break from Steemit and the best part is, I don’t have to worry that folk will think it’s because of the price.
So why am I taking a break and how long will I be gone for?
For me Steemit is not an income source needed to pay the bills. For me Steemit is my savings or investment account and right now I just don’t have the time to invest.
You see I run my own website http://theexcelclub.com/. On this site I blog and sell courses. Its been going rather well over the years but I haven’t been blogging much and organic traffic is falling.
In addition to creating courses for my own site, I also create courses for Udemy.
My newest venture just went live with a new subscription service https://www.accountingcpd.net/excel_acpd and to launch it, on the 3rd May I have 5000 signed up to a live webinar.
This is a new partnership that has already opened many doors. But it does not stop with the Excel subscription service. I have also been contracted to deliver a 22 week online pathway – Data Analytics for Accountants https://www.accountingcpd.net/Data_Analytics_Pathway and some other material for sections of courses.
The pathway is starting soon and I have not started the instructional design process or content creation and I have a deadline of the end of May for that and the other material.
In addition to this I have not updated or added any new courses to Udemy or my own site since November. There is a reason for this. I have been waiting on a new studio and finally today its finished and ready to move into. Some of you may have noticed me missing in discord this last week, well that’s because I had building works going on and it was just a bit busy.
So now I am taking a few weeks off Steemit and discord to catch up on my own workload, so I have a revenue stream that will finance my time I spend on Steemit when I return.
There is one big thing I am committed to and that is the curation and engagement leagues every Friday. I will still be doing this each week, so don’t worry – keep curating.
This does not mean our discord server won’t be active. 
Hopefully when I return in 4-5 weeks the price of STEEM will still be nice and high
Steem on and talk soon
