The Milestone

When I started Steemit on June 2, 2017, I was not really sure what I had getting myself into.

I was easily distracted by the shining, glittering things - number of followers and earnings.

As I have found my way, I realize that milestones are important but they cannot be the only thing that drives me on Steemit.

I want my willingness to serve to be validated by the numbers.
I do not want the numbers to create an inauthentic desire to serve.

300 Followers

One event that defines my Steemit journey this week is reaching the "300 follower" milestone. My desire is that 300 does not just become a number to me, but rather signifies 300 people that are placing their trust in me because I give them value and because engage them well.

900 Posts, Comments, and Replies

I have written over 900 posts, comments and replies. It is amazing how quickly this number has grown.

I have thoroughly enjoyed writing posts. It has been therapeutic.

I enjoy the opportunity to connect to other Steemians through comments and replies. Let's keep up the communication and keep building a stronger Steemit together.

New Things

Steem Power Delegation

I rented SP from

@demotruk. And then I delegated SP to a new account I set up -

@steemenglish. I had heard a lot about delegated SP, so I decided that I need to try it myself.

Steemit Following Audit

I reviewed the list of people that I am following on Steemit. I asked two question to decide if it was wise to continue to follow.

Do these Steemit users consistently create original content?
Do these Steemit users create content that is relevant and valuable to my life?

Some of the topics that I find most valuable right now are: steemit advice, parenting, silver, and online businesses.

I made sure to continue to follow people who have been authentic and engaging. Community is what makes Steemit great!

What I Want To Work On

In regards to my posts, I want to focus on improving QUALITY and developing CONSISTENCY. I want to make sure that I provide valuable information to my followers. I want to work on the timing and delivery of my posts.

I also want to learn more about TAGS. I feel that some of my posts get lost in all the noise. I do not feel that I am using the main category tag well. I also hope to develop a tag that creates better branding for my blog.

Conclusion

I still support Steemit as a technology and as a community. I have heard things over the last few days that are concerning (even things that have made me sad), but I am still committed to working with others to make Steemit a better place for content creators.

I encourage you to do the same!
