Good things to Celebrate

There is a lot of negativity floating about. Being trapped at home I assume is causing a lot of it. And let's face it, there are days when I am not so positive myself. But today I am feeling good and I have some great reasons to be feeling this way too.

HIVE Curation - Content of General Appeal

The first thing I want to mention is the curation on Hive. Like most of us here I have been posting content to the blockchain for a long time. Ok now its a new blockchain and with newness comes change. My personal blog, this one you are reading now, has always outperformed my business blog Hive account@theexcelclub It has always disappointed me a little as the content I publish on my business blog appeals to more people than the content I produce here on this blog. There are not that many people interested in my life, and not too many more interested in the data from the blockchain. So I could never understand why it was rewarded more than my posts on Excel.

I get that the audience on HIVE or on Steem were not interested in Excel, but its a highly searchable topic and it can attract a nice amount of views. It has more of a general appeal than this post.

I have published 3 posts from my business to hive and I am delighted to say, 2 of these have performed well above expectations. Ok so I didn't make a fortune, but I did get curated by Hive account@appreciator on one of them and by Hive account@buildawhale on another. I just need my third post to be curated now too 🤣😂

For me, this is awesome, but I also think it is great for Hive and I hope to see more content of a general appeal being curated here on hive. If this is they way things are going to go, then this is a good great thing to celebrate

80K Students

only 21 days ago I did a celebration post as I had just reached 75K unique students on Udemy. You can read about it here It took me a number of years to reach that milestone😍 but my overall target is 150K. Apparently that is the magic number. In that post I said

I wonder if I can reach that in the next year. I think I can, what do you think?????

To reach the milestone of 150K students, I would need to get 5K new students a month and I am delighted to announce, within only 21 days I have 5K new students and have reached 80K unique students across 186 countries.

Now that is good news and something to celebrate!! ( and more proof curating Excel content on hive is a good idea 😁 - look how popular the topic is off hive)
