Wetting My Feet In Saturdays Savers Club

January 24, 2023

Before anything else, I'd like to express my gratitude to @tengolotodo and @lhes and the other members of the Saturday Savers Club or SSC for continuously posting their progress. Their posts served as inspirations to me to jump in this club.

I admit, I was not able to write actively in Hive or in any blogging platform for the past few months. I told myself "being busy" is not a valid excuse. It's just a matter of setting my priorities.

To set my priorities, I have to set my goals. Thus, I have to set my goals here in Hive, particularly in my earning and savings goal.

I find setting my goals in Hive is quite difficult though. My earnings from my articles are not consistent. However, I have to set my goals one way or another. So, I came up with a strategy.

Start with what I've Got.

In Jan 8, I recorded how much I have in terms of Hive, HP, HBD and Savings. Then recorded what I have before I started writing this article.

Thus in the past 16 days and with only 4 articles, I gained 8.95 HP, 1.763, HBD and 0.8 savings.

In the past 16 days, I earned 6.560 HP and 2.022 from one of the four articles that I have submitted. The the rest, I earn an average of 0.007 per curated article.

Start With Achievable Goals

Perhaps to avoid frustration, I want start with a small and achievable goals based on the data above.

HP +20
HBD +4
Savings +2

My Plan

There's no other way to achieve my goals. I have to do more every single day! I have to make at least one post a day. If I am lucky (the thing is I don't believe in luck), if at least two of my articles will earn more than 6 HP each then that's more than half of my goal.

From what I have learned from @curamax's post (A Beginners Guide to Earning 150 Ecency per day), I can use my Ecency to boost my posts and gain more exposure, and perhaps gain more upvotes.

Not only that, I also need to increase my overall participation in Hive by upvoting, commenting and reblogging!

In Closing

This is just my trial goals. If I can achieve these in less than seven days then I have to adjust my goals.

What I have to keep in mind is, if I want to gain more, I have to do more! That means, I have to write more!
