Progress Report
I am happy with my progress since my last update. I could have done better though, as I missed to post on a couple of days during this time which is very unlike me. But I was really very busy and just did not get the time.
Update #1 - I held my first writing contest
I always wanted to hold my own writing contests since I joined Steemit and soon after I crossed 200 followers, I held my first contest. In my opinion it has been a great success with 37 qualified entries. For a newbie like me, it's huge. I just published the results of the contest today. If you want to read some great micro-fiction, all two sentences long, make sure to visit the below post.

Update #2 I bought more Steem Power
With the recent fall in Steem price, I was looking for an opportunity to buy some more Steem and increase my SP holding. I did that a couple of days back and this purchase (my third one) has taken me beyond 250 Steem Power which is an intermediate check-point towards my goal of 500 owned Steem Power.
Update #3 I lost the SP delegation which I had bought through @minnowbooster
I had a paid SP delegation of 130 SP through @minnowbooster but a couple of days ago, the delegator withdrew the delegation. That's ok I guess as I have been told by a number of my well-wishers that buying SP delegation is not profitable. So I was even considering to let it go. Now that I have bought some more SP, the impact on my voting should not be much.

What I did since my last progress report
✦ As I mentioned above, I held my first contest during this time and the response was overwhelming. I just published the results today and transferred the prize to the winners. I not only reward the winners but also all qualified participants and referrers. This is my way of giving thanks to everyone who made this contest such a huge success. I will run similar contests in the future as well.

✦ Update on my Ramblings on Life Series: This is the first post in this series which triggered a controversy and some debates. I had a positive outlook towards plagiarism to which a number of my readers did not agree. I respect their opinion and agree to them as well. I was really referring to the smaller impacts of plagiarism and not the long term monetary impacts it may have to the original creator.

@svkrulze quite an interesting visualization you have done here with the numbers, I am sure it must have taken quite a time in maintaining data to presentation. Would like to add the fact that if you consider some inorganic progress as well as a parameter, as ultimately it's humans (mostly) minus the bots :p using this platform.
Cheers again and congrats!
It took time the initial few times. Now it's easier. I am sorry I didn't get what you mean by inorganic parameters.
Congratulations! Your post has been selected as a daily Steemit truffle! It is listed on rank 17 of all contributions awarded today. You can find the TOP DAILY TRUFFLE PICKS HERE.

We recommended this post here.
This is true from a Return On Investment viewpoint but it does help you boost your profile and give out some nice upvotes. A while back I leased several thousand SP from blocktrades. For a bit was able to hand out $1 upvotes. It’s not sustainable though, I let the leases lapse. It makes sense that leasing isn’t directly profitable. And the extra exposure you get is intangible and hard to quantify.
Yes exactly what I was told. And people who flock to you for the big upvotes may not stick with you once that goes away. Thanks for visiting.
