I joined Steemit on 29 Jan 2018. This is when my whole journey begun. My goal since that day has been to reach the level of 500 SP. There were a couple of reasons for this.
A slinder is the first item because it gave the user the ability to increase the number of times one could vote. Back when I started the only way to have a slider was to achieve this level. Now we have a couple of apps that allow a Redfish to use a slider without reaching this level.
The second item is the ability to use your vote in a more productive manner enabling a higher curation reward. Also a higher vote giving more support to a comment or post. The higher your SP is the more you are able to help others to achieve the level of 500 SP.
Today is my 151st day on steemit, and I met the goal of 500 SP. Due to the price of Steem the real number came out to 583.63 SP which is a bonus. I expected to hit this level at the 6 month period (181 days). Hitting it one month early has put a smile on my face.
My plan is to keep going and growing. To place myself in a position to help others to grow. To help the communities that I am involved in. I have always said how important it is for people to grow and reaching the milestone of 500 SP is the first step.
The lower price of Steem has help out a lot in this goal. I have also stated that this is the time to power up. To take advantage of the time because it will not last. That is exactly what I did and it has boosted me up from 361 SP to 583 SP. It was not easy and I would be lying if I told you otherwise. It took sacrifice. And some of them hurt.
To say that I achieved this goal on my own I would also be lying. One person in particular has had a major impact on my accomplishment. There also have been more. Some in discords or chats that I have gotten to know of which I have a personnel relationships with. Your success is determined by your engagement. The more you get your brand out there the better off you are.
My next goal is reaching 700 SP. At that point I will no longer be a Plankton but a minnow. One step at a time is the only way to complete a journey. I thank all of you for taking this journey along side of me

Thank you. I have put a lot of hours in on a daily basis. It has paid off
Congrats🎉 i have a long long ways to go lol im only at 56.00 steem the rest is delegated. But you have given me hope that if i work hard it wont take years🌸
The trick is to be consistent whether its weekly or monthly and you will get there
Im also finding that because i cant find anything good to blog about ive just been upvoting, and so been giving 50%-100% upvotes im making something thats better then nothing i guess. But i feel its kinda getting old lol. I need to find whats good to blog about but also gets my interest.. its driving me nuts haha. Plus having to have time for my family and work and business..
Blog about you. your kids, life just be original and honest.
I have the same problem and was only blogging 2-3 times a week. The contest help also . I'm not a writer so some of this is hard for me
Congratulations @wolfhart hard work always pays off, you're one of the people I follow and make a goal of on steemit keep getting better so that I can keep working harder.
Thats a nice thing to say
We have to grow as a team and all will benifit
WTG!!! Almost at goal #1 ...and about 4 mos behind...but it's all good.
Im happy for you sir and i must confess you deserve all these success, youre an inspiration and a motivation, all the steemians youve helped grow will never forget you. Keep moving, keep growing, keep succeeding.
Thanks buddy. The purpose is to keep helping and growing others so they can help others. A cycle
Congrats man!
I am trying to reach 500SP by September.
Its realistic but you will have to put fiat in it and the price is right to do so
It might not be possible for me to put in fiat this year but still I am going to try to shoot for the 500SP target :-)
I know its a little overoptimistic but maybe with the right approach it might.........just might happen. I am also thinking of using a decent bot that has some quality parameters and a whitelisting process like ocdb
@ocd has helped a lot of people and is overall one of the best here.
Just don't get discouraged.
Any idea how to get whitelisted for it?
I think it's like a bata and they have a limit on their whitelist. then they will open it up to all.
That's just my guess because I really don't know that much about it or how to get into the beta if that option is even still availabl
Okay. Thanks for the reply man!
I'm still a minnow and I know you will get there with ease. Keep being you!
Congrats @wolfhart, that is no small feat. Can I ask is that all from powering up or from investing in steem? The price is really good atm.
Both. I never took anything out and powered up everything
Every month for those four months I would invest $50 -$100 a month.
July 1st hit on a sunday so I hit it hard today with $280 and that put me close to 600 SP. Now watch the price plung
WOW just checked and Steem went up to $1.36 so I guess I hit it right for once
:) You deserve good luck. You're always supporting other people. Congratulations!
thank you. Its was a hard, fun achievement. looking forward to many more ;)
That is awesome @wolfhart, congrats on making it well past that 500 SP mark, I am almost at it through natural attrition, its been a hard slog and a few curies, would have been sooner if the market played nice but its been over 1 to 1 since I started converting, When I started it was at like 0. 30 STU but I didn't understand enough.
Congrats @wolfhart on achieving your magical milestone!
More memorable to me, will be your constant support.
I only have so much. Its still dust and I hope people have @dustsweeper to supplement my vote
Hha! I was talking about in terms of guidance and advice...
But, yes I do have that too. @dustsweeper is a must!
LOL
When I went to reply I was thinking about a 0.01 vote and was hoping people had dustsweeper to help with it. guess it went right into my reply to you.
But thanks and I will continue to support those who make an effort here. Thank you for your reply I got a laugh when I reread it
All good @wolfhart!
Thanks
one step at a time and we will all get there. It takes time
Congratulation...Few of you people I recently met are really deserving to be on top simply because you are all here to help others...And I am glad and all the best for future and hope further journey is going to be relatively less struggle that what you experienced so far....
Since that day your #anhouraday tag is part of me and am using in all the posts I made after that..Just FYI
Stay blessed...Thank for all the support..
That's great, keep improving because I can use some help and that's where you and others will come in. This platform needs more middle class and thats where we come in
Congratulations on getting the slider! You and I within a few days of each other!
Congratulation to you, great achievement.
howdy there @wolfhart and congratulations!
what will you be a year from now?
A year from now

Congrats with your achievement, dear friend @wolfhart...
Hope your target will be achived soon...
And hope we all will be successful in this lovely Steemit community...
I hope so to. Thats why its so important for everyone to achieve this goal, building a middle class
That is awesome. Keep up the great work you are doing with helping people out and you will continue to be rewarded. People like you are what is needed to make this a successful platform. The work you are doing may seem like it isnt making an impact on the platform as a whole, but you are changing lives with what you are doing.
thanks buddy I work hard at it and its nice to see people making progress like you as a witness
Blood and Steel
Congratulation my friend on this achievement. It is really very important to have at least 500 SP which helps a user to take advantage of slider. Busy provides VP slider but for a minnow who don't have enough SP, this slider serves no purpose. Upvoting someone with zero voting value. So, having at least 500 SP becomes critical which amount to VV of $0.04 at present.
So true
Then some vote 30 times a day and their VP is useless even with a slider. Paying attention to one's VP is important
Definitely, VP is important. I wish to upvote many users who post quality content but my VP not always allow me to upvote them. I had to wait till my VP reaches to a minimum profitable level. However, with large SP I would be able to do many things which I wish to do but unfortunately I can't afford to buy more SP.
I understand the affordability part.
I don't know at what level it takes to be in a position to make a difference so I just keep plugging away and maybe I will find it.
If they keep selling of the price will stay under market value and I'll take advantage of it
Hum! Low price condition is good for increasing SP.
Well done @wolfhart! You've come far in such a short space of time! I'm really impressed. And you are really the epitome of your #payitforward
That's a very nice thing to say.
We work hard at PIFC and try and help others . Its a team approach and we have received support from others making it even better. This week we were able to pay out to all participants. thats was a very good deal and one we are proud of.
Well done!
You got a 32.64% upvote from @ocdb courtesy of @wolfhart!
@ocdb how you select users for upvote? I mean what is the criteria of selecting them or white listing them.
