Guild Metrics + Moving Forward
This past Tuesday, we announced that we’ve transitioned out of our beta stage, opening up Sndbox memberships to prospective, new, and experienced users on Steemit who are looking to integrate Steemit into their creative and organizational practices. If you’re interested in learning more and have ambitions to harness the impact of blockchain on the real world, read more here.
Today, we’ll publish a concise review on how our Sndbox program and community performed - what we learned, what we changed and what we plan to do next. We aim to consistently evaluate our performance (transparently) and to improve the experience of each Sndbox member.
The Numbers
Since Sndbox is a membership-based incubator program, our top goal is to ensure that Sndbox members capture the full value of their efforts by using our system and resources. This means we strive to have our members…
- Familiarize themselves with Steemit and blockchain technology
- Integrate content production into their daily/weekly practice
- Rewarded for their content and work
- Informed of all Steemit/Sndbox updates
- Cultivate high engagement with the diverse Steemit community
On our @sndbox account, we achieved the following…
- Number of followers: 851 (~213 new followers per week)
- Views: Avg. 281 views per post (over 26 posts)
- Curation Trail: 27 Trailers
- Delegation Update: @voronoi 47.596MV
For our members (between August 1 - September 1)...
- Number of Beta Bloggers beginning August 1st: 8
- Number of Posts Total: 31
- Average Member Post Payout: $31.17
- Average # of posts per week per member: 0.969
One striking number is the <1 vote per week per member statistic. As we’ve been onboarding strong creative professionals into the Sndbox incubator, one big hurdle is to integrate Steemit into their busy schedules. Some of our members posted a few times a week while others only did 1 or 2 in the last month. We’re still cultivating strategies to achieve active new members and this will be one of the key numbers we’ll keep an eye on in the coming months.
September Projections
In order to keep growing in the right direction, we want to establish short-term projections and keep developing in both size and depth of usage. For the month of September, we’re striving to hit the following averages -
- Number of Sndbox members: 30+
- Average # of posts a week per member: 1.3 (5-6 posts per month)

@sndbox I find your project awesome and always wanted to join you guys. I am a passionate strategist that enjoy writing and contributing to our community however I do lack exposure ...I believe that more exposure of my blog will benefit our steemit community . Hope to join you guys.
As a G1 Sndboxer, and a longtime blogger on other platforms, I constantly struggle with the tendency to write longer, more involved posts. Steemit may like posts with multiple (4 to 8) images with text and captions significantly longer than 500 words. But I would like to believe that it's possible to write short, clear and powerful posts with as few as one or two images that are reward worthy. Do others think this is possible or desirable? (You might consider this is a cry for help to write brief, good, more frequent posts and help Sndbox achieve it's per member target for month two.)
In Spain, there's a saying going "lo bueno, si breve, dos veces bueno" which basically states for: Good thigs, if short, twice as good.
I'd go for it!
what a great saying. I'm saving this!
Well I just tried my hand at this, sort of at least XD I'm hoping it goes alright. But yeah I definitely wish people were fore exactly what your depicting. But so far... I've yet to see it.
I was thinking the same thing myself. Sometimes shorter posts get more info across because people are less overwhelmed and actually read the whole thing. And it's good practice (at least for me) to learn to edit and keep things concise.
I'd say that this is some excellent progress especially for such a new endeavor!! Great work.
Awesome, I look forward to joining you as I am aiming to familiarize steemit and blockchain technology!
This sounds really cool. You guys are making good progress. What are the requirements to join your ranks?

STOPSndbox is an amazing project and I am super excited to be a new member :-D. I'd highly encourage all ambitious steemians to keep an eye on this, as it's the best opportunity I know about right now.
We have this idea of creating a Steemit Hub first in our place/region, how @sndbox integrate this initiative? And how can I be a member? 😎😎
I couldn't be more excited to be part of @sndbox and to see where it will take us!
