I just checked my Steemit posts and it was on May 14, 2019 that I went from REP 60 to REP 61, it took me less time to do that than from 59 to 60, and last night I went from 61 to 62 in less than four months so even though it takes more votes to raise each consecutive level I have been reducing this time.
What does this mean? I t means that lately I have been getting more votes than I was getting before, and it is true, I have been using busy.org and ACTIFIT consistently, nearly daily and each of these two happen to give me a vote, not a big vote but a vote that keeps on adding to my REP here, so I can only thank these two apps.
Of course making money here has gotten a little harder lately, but as I said I will mainly be trying to increase my Scot Tribes stakes and try to get to REP 63 before years end, something I think is possible, because setting other goals like how much money I can make or how much SP I can HODL seems like wishful thinking, things like that are not controllable so whatever comes is good.
I have seen posts about how rewards are so low right now and they are right but in my case that is not really much of a game changer I have an average of maybe $0.60 daily and now it will be perhaps $0.30 in reality not much of a change, I can only remember once I got more than $20.00 on a post and that was from a whale who I think was upvoting randomly.
You see I don't expect that much from my posts, the quality isn't that good as I am not much of a writer and unlike many people who say they sometimes take days coming up with an article suitable for posting I usually take 15 minutes in writing something to publish, so its not like I am wasting my time here I take more time reading things which I find interesting and I do think I learn something new every day which to me is the idea behind reading.
So let's see how long it takes me to get to REP 63, I think four motnhs before the year ends should be enough, as long as I keep up posting twice a day, one the ACTIFIT post and the other anything I can come up with to publish.
