Here is a report for the promo-steem and stats community about selected Key Performance Indicators over the last four months on the promo-steem tag. This is based upon raw data from SteemSQL (a nod to @arcange for this immense source).
This data represents data from posts with a primary tag of promo-steem [Data Feed taken 28 MAR 18].
KPI DASHBOARD
I'll look at these KPIs in two sections:
AUTHORS & VOTES
You can see a significant step up in the use of the promo-steem tag in January.
This increase in authors is both immense and global – and there is no question that the catalyst was the trio of @anarcotech @starkerz @stephenkendal with the promo-steem website build, the white paper mission, and the start of the @Steem-Ambassador programme.
HOW MUCH DOES THE AUTHOR EARN FOR AN AVERAGE POST
The following KPI is showing how many authors earned less than $1 on average for their post (red line), or how many authors earned on average more than $50 for their promo-steem post (blue line), and there are three levels I’ve chosen to show in between.
For example, in the last 30 days – 6 authors averaged over $50 for their posts where as 779 authors average less than $1 for their posts!!
The key line for me is the red line – looking at the vast majority of people in our promo-steem community- and thinking – how can we change this!
DO WE REALLY VALUE THESE AT LESS THAN A DOLLAR SBD?
As you can see from the graph – whilst there is remarkable growth in authors tagging promo-steem and promoting the platform the current “funding” in the "promo-steem sphere" is not enough to lift the average author vote for many people above $1 SBD.
For many people that are operating in this "promo-steem sphere" it might not be about the earnings, as there are many people in this tag who are here for the long term. They are building a community, aiming to build a humanitarian mission, consistently spreading the message of love of Steemit and the blockchain and enjoying engaging with the community they build around this mission.
But I can tell you, I have spent countless hours scrolling this page (https://steemit.com/created/promo-steem) taking my time to learn about the initiatives around the world and there are so many decent posts that go massively unrewarded. There are a significant number worth much more than a single dollar SBD.
We have to do something about this....
Which brings me onto....
DELEGATION
here.We need to bring more POWER into the promo-steem tag through delegation to the @Steem-Ambassador account and allow the Steem-Ambassadors to be the eyes and ears of curating high-quality content. The C.A.M.P.U.S (Community Automated Multi Proof-of-brain Upvoting System) will ensure that quality posts with a promo-steem tag with 3 @Steem-Ambassadors upvotes get a share of the reward dished out by the @Steem-Ambassador account. Read all about CAMPUS from @anarcotech
herehere with a tremendously generous delegation.I have more to add to the delegation debate but for today will defer to the important message sent by @Steem-Ambassador on how and why to delegate and then the legend @Starkerz leading by example
Here is the status of delegation as at today.
hereAnd also, I need to doff my cap to @gold84 for initiatives at drumming up support for delegation. Such as this post . Also thanks to @anarcotech for feeding me the raw data diet to help with this analysis.
HERE ARE THE THIRTY OFFICIAL STEEM-AMBASSADORS
These are the Steemians who are upvoting the High-Quality Posts which go into the CAMPUS @Steem-Ambassador Upvoting System.
So what’s the message to authors: basically follow the guidelines for a post to be considered high-quality here.
"It's the first issue of the dashboard - so any feedback would be gratefully received, please"
Keep up the quality promo-steem work – more related posts to follow soon!
Loved this post, for real @steemambassador team are doing a great job, and I agree with this about the earnings... The best earning we can have is when people join and STAY posting in Steemit! Being new isn't cool but I love when they found a place in this awesome platform. Totally powering up as much as I can!!
Thanks for the dashboard and hope @steemambassador get more delegation.
Has to be the best post I have seen on promo-steem stats!! Great work @cryptocurator! I am convinced that the message you are bringing here will pay off for the community in the long run!
Thanks @starkerz - - very much appreciate the support when you are so busy with the prep for the London Cryptocurrency Show.
Hi @cryptocurator . Thanks for the mention of some of my previous posts to get delegations. This is a great post for the growing stats of #promo-steem , thanks for sharing it.
Here is a post I made about the Update on Delegations!
@Steem-Ambassador Delegations Update! - @Jerrybanfield has Delegated and We Have 2 Important Witnesses Already Delegating!
Regards, @gold84
Oh yes that is cool indeed. We should certainly thank him - but why don't we ask if he will double it - if we get him 10 Witness votes of something like!! We should support the witnesses who support the mission with delegation! (Ps. Do let me know if your on discord for text chat sometime)
would be very interesting to know the vesting power of all the people who posted to promo steem in last 60 days. this way our group may be responsible for pushing several steemians into the top 20, for a deal of course ;))
Another beautiful summary and excellent stats. Thank you again for taking the lead on this!
Agreed @mcfarhat ! Great stats and well presented. Regards, @gold84
Thank you - I really appreciate you taking the time to review and support this - I know how busy you are
eating chocolate (you choco addict), I mean promoting the Steem Blockchain to the Middle East and the Arab World!Great post on steemit metrics for the #promo-steem community. This information is a little confusing. Why is the #promo-steem community is growing, but the payouts for SBD are getting lower?
Is this just a function of math- gaining numbers of users, who don't post much that drives the numbers down? Or is the #promo-steem team not being fully supportive of everyone using #promo-steem posts thru upvotes for those in the community? If anyone could comment or reply I would appreciate it.
Thanks - really good questions: and to be honest there are a lot of answers and moving parts to this: so answer is not limited to these potential reasons:
Thanks for the Q.
Hey @cryptocurator, Its a great analytical work you have done here for the #promo-steem tag. The Steem Ambassadors are definitely grateful to have such a detailed run down of how things are really progressing. I can see that we picked up from January. That could be associated with the Sbd and Steem price hikes around this time.
ANyway, you may consider making such a contribution from Utopian-io in subsequent posts.
Cheers!
Thank you - I really appreciate the feedback. I will take on board these comments. Cheers
