Attracting new and quality users to Steemit every day is key in the success of the Steemit Platform and ecosystem. Retaining these users is equally important.
Remember this report for the month of July?
Well I have just looked at the data to run an Interim Report for August and I am slightly surprised at the changes
In the first two weeks of Aug 16,973 new accounts were registered on the Steemit Platform. That is almost 31% of the total number registered in July. But it is almost 25% less that the number of new registrations for the first two weeks of July.
Mondays and Saturdays were the most popular days for new enrollments in July. This has now changed to Wed and Fridays, with Sundays having the lowest number of enrollments in both months.
What is also disappointing to see is that only 39.37% of new accounts have made a post, compared to 44.85% in Aug. This drop could be of concern so I will make sure I monitor it.
22% of all posts made by new accounts are blog posts, 78% are comments. This is consistent with the July report along with the % of accounts that contain a link to a website or have the about profile complete.
Lets look back now at the 54K new users from July and see how many of them are still active.
First lets look at how many of these accounts were active for voting until 14 Aug. The Green represents the % accounts active when it comes to voting and the yellow represents the % of accounts not active. By the 14 Aug less than 17% of accounts set up in July were still actively voting.
Now lets look at how many of these accounts were actively posting until 14 Aug. Again the green represents the % of active accounts when it comes to posting and yellow is the non active accounts. What is very different from this chart to the previous is that with the voting, almost every account set up in July has voted at least once. Where as 50% of accounts set up in July have not yet made a post.
It is also interesting to see that only 10% of accounts set up in July are still posting mid Aug. Which is less than the number of accounts that are voting.
Many of these accounts that are actively voting and not posting could be bots. What do you think?
Did you like this analysis? Is there something else about new users you would like me to include in next month’s report? Have you any questions on any of the above?If so then comment below.
