I completed my first month on Steemit. It has been one of the best experiences in my social media or online journey which already included blogging. I hope you will enjoy my journey in numbers and also share your thoughts about my future goals.

First Month in Numbers

I'll share some of the experience through numbers. The purpose is to gauge my activity and to some extent, my success on this amazing platform.

2969

The staggering number of upvotes that my posts or comments received. Almost 100 upvotes per day! 

1106

The number of total comments written by me. I think my genuine efforts to leave good, detailed comments on posts has helped me more than anything.

631

The number of replies that I have given on my posts. That's roughly equal to the number of others' comments on my posts because I always reply. It also means that my posts receive an average of more than 20 comments per day. Incredibly engaging they are!

625

The number of upvotes that I have given to other people. I think an average of more than 20 per day is quite generous despite the HF 19. I will soon start giving more votes after getting to 500 SP level. 

527

The number of followers I have right now. It averages way over 15 followers gained per day in the first month. I am humbled.

59

The number of posts I have done in my first month. With an average of 2 almost two per day, I have been posting regularly. This is the 60th post.

51.906

My reputation score right now. It is so satisfying to have come this far in only the first month. I hope to be at 52 tonight with the help of your generous upvotes. 

462

My account's worth in US Dollars right now. In terms of Steem Power, it is 268 SP. It excludes the value of 110 Steem Dollars that I transferred to Bittrex and Poloniex. It also includes the Steem Dollars and Steem that I have used to test promotion and give gifts to some fellow Steemians!

I hoped you enjoyed reading my first month's progress in numbers. Now, let me share some future goals with you.

Future Goals

Goal setting is important. Having goals ensures that we keep doing something towards their achievement. So, here are a few of my Steemit goals.

Reputation

I have figured out that achieving a higher reputation becomes incredibly difficulty once the numbers become bigger. What I mean to say is that jumping from 50 to 51 was harder than jumping from 49 to 50. Still, my goal is to increase by reputation by one digit every week. It's not going to easy but the goal is worth it.

Posting

I will keep posting regularly, at least once a day. If at all it happens that I'm not able to post, I'll recover it the next day by posting twice. And of course it's me so the posts have to be engaging, high quality and of value to my readers.

Commenting/Replying

I will comment at 10 times a day. These 10 comments do not include the replies I give to the comments on my blog. For every comment on my blog, there will be a reply as already happening. Commenting is where the magic happens through interaction and engagement.

Followers

I do not have the direct influence of fellow Steemians to have them follow me. So, I will keep working on my blog, reply to comments and increase my reputation by getting Steemians' upvotes (which will have to be earned). I would like to see the number double every month though.

Steem Power

Powering up will give me more control over my votes and basically I would be able to vote at the same rate (20 votes a day) or more when I cross 500 SP. Through slider, I will vote content according to its quality but there will be more upvotes. So the immediate target is to reach 500 SP this month.

Community

I will always keep helping and guiding the community through whatever I can explain, decode or educate. I have been doing community education, awareness and training posts on a regular basis and it will continue. Even this post can give you many ideas on how to progress on Steemit.

Your Favorite Numbers and Targets?
