You have probably noticed what that number is beside your name and everyone else’s name on Steemit. That right there is your Reputation Score. About 10 months ago, Steemit had an update that included the addition of your Reputation Score.
What is a Reputation Score?
The Reputation Score is basically the way the Steemit community measure the value you have brought. Some readers may choose to read posts from users with higher Reputation Scores as there is usually a greater chance of high quality content. The Reputation Score is between around -25 and 80. When you first create an account on Steemit.com you begin with a simplified reputation score of 25 and it increases or decreasing depending on the content you provide and what other users think of the content.
Simplified Reputation Score
The Reputation Score you see on Steemit.com is your simplified score.
You can find your simplified Reputation Score or anyone else’s by going to steemit.com/@username and replacing “username” with your username or anyone else’s.
Raw Reputation Score
The raw Reputation Score is the real number that is then calculated to give you your simplified score.
The raw Reputation Score can be found for anyone by visiting steemd.com/@username and replacing “username” with your username or anyone else’s.
Common Questions
How is the Reputation Score calculated?
This may be a little too much math for some.
- Calculate the log base 10 of the raw score from the desired user at steemd.com/@username. LOG base 10 of 26727073581 = 10.4269514092915
- Subtract 9 from this number. 10.4269514092915 – 9 = 1.42695140929153
- Multiply this number by 9. 1.42695140929153 x 9 = 12.8425626836238
- Add 25. 12.8425626836238 + 25 = 37.8425626836238
Once you get this number (37.8425626836238) and round down you have your reputation score = 37.
It is about 1.3 times harder to get to the next level than it was to get to the previous level. Basically it is 30% harder to get to a Reputation Score of 50 from a Reputation Score of 49 than it was from a Reputation Score of 49 from a Reputation Score of 48.
How can I increase my Reputation Score?
1. Become a Curator - Find posts the diamonds in the rough before anyone else. @dantheman has a great explanation here on curation.
2. Comment on other people's post - This allows other users on the site to see your comments and if they appreciate them, they may upvote your comments, and may follow you if they value what you write.
3. Reply to others comments on your post - This creates a connection between your readers and yourself and will increase the likelihood of them following you.
4. Post valuable content - The more researched and well thought out your post is the higher likelihood that others will appreciate and upvote your post.
5. Don't give up - It takes time to gain a following on Steemit. The better the content that you provide, the higher the likelihood that you will increase your followers. The more followers you have the higher likelihood that your posts will become more popular.
6. Be dedicated - It is best to post a couple articles every day that are well thought out. Also, comment on other people's articles throughout the day.
7. Follow more people - The more people you follow the better. Unlike Instagram or Twitter where people value the followers to following ratio steemit does not. The more people you follow the more content that you will see and the more insightful comments you can make.
