I have practically never looked into my own steem stats although that it is so easy to check out multiple ways. I was quite surprised to see some certain stats that made me realize, wow, I actually have done quite a bit on my (little more than a year) here on Steemit!
My curation and author reward
It actually surprised me to see these numbers. Especially considering I have not always had 6.5k SP, in fact, I think I got over 6k only a couple of months ago. My travel from 0 to 500 went slow, from 500 to 1000 a little faster. Then I started to make some investments into 3k and from there I kind of just took off.
But LOOK at that curation! The fact that I have earned 260 SP just by curation is impressive to me. Not that I believe I have been efficient at this at all, in fact, I just vote what I feel like. I am not sure how I feel about 11.30% self-voting the last 7d. I would have thought it was less honestly but I guess out of 102 votes it would mean about 10 votes on myself in a week. Considering I make 1 post every day and sometimes twice if something I cannot wait with until the next day. I guess it adds close to that. The high amount of accounts I have voted probably comes from my "small votes" I hand out to my many comments and also that I am selling votes everytime I am at 100% steempower. (although it feels like I rarely get to that point in this current period)
But 260 SP just for engaging is a lot to me. By the end of 2019 that would probably be 2600 dollars, not bad, not bad. Okay maybe that thinking is not healthy but I mean, I certainly hope steem will eventually go over the magic 10 dollar mark. We have hit 8 dollars, why not 10 when SMT comes out? Oh well, lets move on!
Now here something is a bit unclear to me because usually, it is a 50/50 distribution is I cannot figure out if it just calculates it all into SP or if this is in fact, just 50% of my total SP reward. If this is the case that would mean I have earned over 4000 SP. That is quite impressive I gotta admit. But I think I have to look a bit into that because 4000 SP for me sounds like a lot.
Anyone know something about this?
Lets look at my behavioral details
I think my overall amount of posts and comments are awfully low. I think this comes from periods where I have been inactive and especially with the comment part, I mostly only responded to comments in my own posts. I rarely went to other people except for a handful. Luckily I have changed this since I started taking steemit a bit more "seriously". But I think it is a good reminder.
On steemit, it is almost more important to create contacts with other people than creating posts if you wanna be successful. A healthy balance between these two is important and I can be witness to that.
I very often clean up who I am following based on a few things:
Do they just fill up all my feed?
Are they active?
Do I even care?
And usually, this means I have a very low, but healthy follower amount that I know I can interact with without getting overwhelmed. I doubt I will ever follow more than 100 people. My brain can simply not contain that many people.
If there's anyone active on this nice Saturday, what's your stats?
So I wonder, by using steemworld.com and steemitboard.com, what can you see on your own account? I actually think it can be healthy to do these checks from time to time to see how you actually are moving up. It could also be fun in the future when I got a lot more SP to see how my loyal SP to certain people will affect their own progress. But that is something for the future that I am planning to do. :)
Keep it real!
