Thanks mate and I think it's probably a good thing to do these "behind the scenes" every quarter or so - we're all real people at the end of the day and it adds another layer of personality. Of course, if your blog is personal already, then it probably doesn't matter so much but I'm always looking for new ways to connect. Videos and walkthroughs might be something I do this year as well.
As for the spreadsheet, definitely something I felt I had to do and SEE for myself. I'm a science kinda guy so looking at the results is something I can do from the research and it's pretty obvious at the end of the day, at least for me. I know some have found their post payouts have gone up and actually have NEW followers but for me, that's not been the case. It's got to a point where it's really not even worth posting on STEEM for the rewards as 20p gets you about 7 strings of spaghetti in the UK!
It kinda reminds me of how it was when I first started, posting to a ghost town for little/no rewards. Alas, Hive is where it's at for me!
I live sharing my life here, I understand why some choose to remain anonymous though.
Are you saying you don’t like 🍝
Haha I agree with you. The only reason I’m still posting on Steem (only once daily and it’s a link to the previous day’s blog on Hive only) is because my 13-week power down is taking forever. Plus I have some pretty good auto votes set up for my posts and it’s hard for not claim free crypto.
Yeah definitely - being on Hive has really made me blog a lot more and use my website to connect via @steempress - I've loved interacting and met friends I'd never thought I'd meet!
Oh I love spaghetti - just wish I could buy more than 20p's worth 🤣
Yeah I still have 11 weeks to go on the PD. I did buy 22k STEEM last year when it was at it's cheapest I'd known it (average of 10.5p at the time) so will be looking to get that back whilst the price is somehow being magically propped up!
I'll probably move most in to BTC but whatever is left, I'll buy up some HIVE. I believe this chain is a great way for content consumers to be reward for supporting content creators and vice versa - definitely some futuristic forward thinking folks here!
My goal is still to get to 70 rep on both platforms as I'm at 69.9 and I can't quit on that haha! And you're right, it is hard to turn down free crypto! I also wanted to be an Orca by the end of the year so seems more feasible and worthwhile on HIVE now although I've leased most of my HP to curie to help them get back up and running.
Steem and now Hive have been my first experiences blogging. I’ve been doing it daily since I started in late 2017, so I’d say it’s become rather addicting. It’s just nice to actually have some people who enjoy my creativity and provide some on their own as well for me to enjoy.
I went to a meet up in 2018 when I was still getting a feel for things. It was a great time and I truly wish there were more meet ups to go to somewhat locally.
I’m doing a mix of buying chunks of Hive and swapping to BTC.
If you have an orca goal, I have a feeling you will reach it.
That's a great dedication doing daily blogs. I tried but I simply ran out of ideas... and time! I need time to do other things so kept it to at least once per week whilst I worked on the other projects! It's definitely good to have a creative outlet whether it's blogging, creating or some other activity!
Ah, they keep organising these meet ups when I'm not around! Was really hoping to go to one Steemfest but maybe a Hivefest once the travel restrictions are lifted! Think there's talk of some local ones near me hopefully being arranged after lockdown so we'll see how that goes!
Yeah, rep 70 and Orca were my two main goals with this all, then I'll have to find some new ones with Hive!
I have more of an issue finding the time rather than having the ideas.
Here is to waiting for some Hive events to happen. Good luck on these current goals and any future ones you may set.
Thanks man and to you too! Cheers to that 🍻
