After March, being a successful month. I thought it was a good idea, this month to set some small goals what I aim to achieve.

I discovered last month, that I am really enjoying writing longer articles where I am doing some research, including referencing in the posts. So it may well be that I post less articles, but the articles I do post will be more detailed and better quality than just for the sake of posting up an article. Personally my advice to anyone is unless you have content that you can regularly produce, better to plan well thought out decent articles.

Steem Price

I saw that my value of my account increased so I checked coin market cap this morning and saw steem coming back $2.07 per 1 steem according to coin market cap around 36% increase.

Checking the news I saw an article, which Goldmach Sachs stated that the entrance of major banks will increase the liquidity and price of Bitcoin. Whether this will have a positive turn on the current bullish market, would yet to be determined. Seeing as the whole purpose of crypto, as a decentralised currenty is to not involve financial institutions and could have an overall negative stance.

The awesomeness that is @trufflepig.

Whilst I had not seen the original article, recently one or two of my posts have had a bot mention from @trufflepig. Thought up by @smcaterpillar, the aim of this AI is to find well written posts and to include them in its curation, the other reason that I like it is it predicts the value and vote of what a post should be.

A few people on discord, have been asking about the mysterious trufflepig and what we thought about it. Over all it appears to be welcomed, we can only hope that the bigger eyes will look favourably on this bot, in the hopes of rewarding people what they should be getting for well written out posts. I can only hope to continue, to write decent content and that the curators receive it well and I continue to build my self on the platform.

So right now I have under 40 SP, to go to get to Minnow. Ok its not a big deal but it is for me, its a recognition of all the hard work that I am putting in, alongside taking the next step into my journey. Whilst I would like to hit 500 SP by mid April, I am aiming over all for the end of the month. So until I hit the 500 everything earned will be powered up to SP in the meantime.

Initiatives.

I am going to continue working on the SOS (shoutout Saturdays) initiative, to try and build this, as some people seem to think its a challenge they have to do and that its not an ongoing thing.

What I am trying to show people is that to succeed, networking is most definitely one of the best ways in which to gain a readership. My last post as an example I just got the most wonderful present. I actually did not promote this post, only because the last few days we have had a guest and I did not have much time for curation.

But still it has gained attraction from regular readers, who are enjoying my content. Which is why I believe that the SOS initiative is a good idea, to raise profiles, gain friendship and find good content, and not solely rely on the purpose of bot votes.

I hope to continue to come up with some other ideas to help the platform, right now I recognise that the area that I live in could really benefit from steem. And this month I will be writing a more extensive article on the problems and possible solutions.

With the help of @enchantedspirit also soon a newsletter will start to be published featuring contributors from the paranormal steemcommunity. We are looking for regular contributors who would like to feature articles, but this also can be spiritual related along side paranormal. So such things as Tarot, divination, mediumship, astrology, healing, crystals etc. Feel free to chat to me on discord if you are interested!!

Lots happening on the personal front also.

In between all this work and networking, I am having to find time to catch up on the personal stuff. Spring time is here and I am going to be growing some vegetables again this year, so I need to get the garden ready for sowing.

On top of that we are renovating the old barn at the back to turn into a new living room, and office above for me. I have just been up there to have a look and the views of the mountains are amazing I must take some pictures as I realised I have another post in the making.

Then on top of that we have a friend who has arrived and actually has moved to Bulgaria also, but his belongings are not coming till Friday so he is here with us until then. Poor guy is wandering around looking for things to do. But the good thing is he offered to do all the cooking, who am I to decline such an offer. I mean I can cook but if I don't have to cook then I won't

The sad thing is with all this going on we have not yet done anything for our wedding anniversary which was last Friday, so we still have to find time to go out for a meal for that also, there are simply not enough hours in the day for all of this.

So in closing readers, I hope you have a wonderful April. I send sunshine to you where ever you are. We are out of winter now lets really have some fun on steemit this forthcoming summer.

Have a great day, thank you for reading my posts as always I love you all an appreciate your support.

Thank you for reading

xoxo
