What's The Biggest Lesson I've Learned In The Past 2 Years...
Yesterday marked my 2 year anniversary on Steem...
When I hit certain milestones on the blockchain, I start looking at stats, numbers and of course....Steemitboard!
Yeah I'm a huge fan of @Steemitboard and it's creator @Arcange
For a few reasons but mainly this site gives me two of the more intriguing metrics I use to 'judge' how well I'm doing with my Steem journey...
Average Upvotes Per Post
And Average Post Rewards (Steem Power)
These two numbers is what I've been monitoring every week since I got on the blockchain. It shows me the power of constant engagement and creation on Steem. And cements my belief in this simple truth...
And arguably the most important lesson I've learned since I've found this community...
You have to show up, daily, to make a real impact!
In everything in life really, but even more so when it comes to community based platforms like Steem.
Here's what I mean....
A quick screen shot of a few extra numbers that Steemitboard provides shows you....The power of daily engagement.
There's something to note...
I've created 709 posts (this one will be 710) since I joined Steem. That means 20 days missed in 730 days on the blockchain....
It's not perfect but I've made a commitment to show up, and create!
But there's a more important number to note ....
9035 comments :)
Now while I admit, I don't do as much engagement as I should that's still something that shows me...The more I engage, the more those other two numbers above start to rise...
12 comments a day!
This is the number I want to see increase....Everyday. And I believe this is the one metric we should focus on more than any others.
Not the price. Not the rewards. Upvotes are a bonus. Curation is cool. Comments are appreciated....
But what are YOU contributing to the blockchain via engagement. That's the key to all this stuff, and the metric that determines your future growth on Steem.
I encourage you, stick to that metric and focus on engaging through comments as much as you can.
And hey Jongo....Start taking your own advice too and keep commenting :)

Agreed...And it's something we can control. Price, hardforks all that stuff has little to do with what we do everyday, but when we engage, we control our own experiences here.
Congratulations on your Steemit Anniversary Jon!
Thank you kindly :)
Thank you for sharing your encouragement on commiting to 12 comments a day something I think I can do
Exactly...It's something we can all make an effort to do...And it starts adding up :)
Happy Steemanniversary!! Cheers for many to come! And hopefully we keep engaging with each other! Thank you again for showing me this awesome Steem world! The Fellowship of the CTP Mug is with you 😂😜🍀🦄
LOL So glad you got it. I always get worried when I order things to go across the pond...
Those are some great numbers, Jon! Congratulations and keep doing the same, or better!!!
Thanks man. Steem makes it easy to do....The community is very supportive!
I remember the first goals you set here on steem and very soon afterwards you blew past them, and had to set new yearly goals and withing 6 months you blew past them. 2 years it has been quite the adventure so far. It will be interesting to see how we are doing in another 2 years.
Writing things down man. It's huge. And when you keep looking at it daily, you get closer to your goals....Sounds weird, but it works!
Congratulations again! Thank you for highlighting this for me. I like @steemitboard stats too! Now I have a better understanding of the significance of the figures there 😊😊
