There are a few things I have noticed lately and they are not huge , but you need to be aware. Whilst the place is quiet we need to be maximizing our rewards at every opportunity in order to grow.Lately just by posting regularly i am picking up followers and this is what happens now as you will be noticed.Don't be overly worried about rewards as they will come at some point.Your base or foundation is more important right now.
I was a little puzzled with steemworld.org which I rely on heavily for account information. I know they added some new features regarding curation and percentages. This to me is only a guide as some of the figures are wrong by as much as 40 percent. I will give you an example which is current and happened last night.
I had just received a payout for curation that didn't make sense and it shows how wrong the stats actually are. I voted on Daan's post last week and here are the stats according to Steemworld.I have just added another one as well which was about 30 percent out.
oshfzqocqrycwtuzxfhqmqkkgitkgigoylxk daan 19m 10m 12s 70.00 % 0.06 $ 296.50 % 0.456 SP
oendertuerk 53s 13m 12s 75.00 % 0.06 $ 113.81 % 0.186 SP (actual payout was 0.242 SP)
The actual payout was 0.631 SP which is a difference of 0.176 SP. This is just one and I have had numerous ones over the last day or so. You could say using it as a guide is a bit crazy as it is quite far out and if you are doing well on curation with Steemworld's figures currently,then you are doing very well. They can be slightly over as well as I have experienced a few last night that was under on what I was going to be getting. Not by much , but by around 10 percent.
Any growth today is good growth as there seems to be less people around and if this is the core group of Steem we all have an advantage over the others who have gone quiet. I compare it to companies riding through a recession by not shutting up and waiting but by expanding and coming out in front when the markets change.
Just keep growing and look at everything as an opportunity and not a challenge.
