More Introduceyourself payment stats
Following on from my last post on this subject (view post here) I wanted to follow up with some graphs that illustrate the payoff pattern of my introduceyourself post over a 48 hour window.
For illustration, I'm using the payout data from my first post which earned me an author reward of 70.3SBD. I want to demonstrate in this post how a typical post reward develops over the first 48 hours of its progression.
The first graph shows the cumulative development over the first 48 hours after the post was published.
The table directly below the graph shows the data displayed on the first graph but for the first 12 hours only.
You will see from the graph that most of the final payout (72.8% or 51.19SBD) was earned in the first two hours. The graph becomes much flatter after this indicating much lower hourly reward increments.
The hourly increments (increase to reward pot each hour) is shown in the second graph. This graph shows that while the increments become sparser after the first few hours, significant increments can arise many hours after the post is released.
Concluding comments
This post illustrates the general post reward pattern of quick development with slow progression after 2 hours.
It should be pointed out that this is not always the case. It is not impossible for a voter with significant voting power (a "whale") to upvote or flag your post many days after its release. However, the fact is that exposure to your post declines significantly after the first hour or two and it is this effect which causes the pattern we are seeing in the above illustrations.
Thank you for reading.
great stats :-)
You are a real geek. love it

Do you think that there is a ideal time to post (worldwide)?
According to @scrawl the best time is here..
https://steemit.com/steemit/@scrawl/the-best-time-to-post-on-steemit
As you can see, there is a clear trend showing that posts published between 22:00-23:00 GMT (17:00-18:00 CST) earn the most rewards.
@scrawl updated his code and got a more accurate result:
so it's 2am GMT and 4pm GMT
now that is the million sbd question.
Ok, in my time zone that would be between midnight and 1 AM in the morning. I am gonna try it out. Thanks for the tip.
Great metrics and post. Damn, I guess my introduceyourself post sucked if I didn't make anywhere near that much SBD...
Me neither! Oh well....
Fuck it! Still can earn plenty by posting and curating other stuff :)
Good analyses of the situation. Indeed, posts get invisible very quickly. Every new post come in the NEW channel for anybody to see when the surf to this channel, and quite a few Steemians do that, like I did and discovered this post. When the post get quickly some votes with some power behind it, the post gets higher up in the HOT channel; In this channel posts can keep kind-of-the-same position for some longer time, maybe an hour or two. After that only the Trending channel is available, but most post never get into this channel. The posts also gets into the HOME channels of the followers, but also here the post can quite quickly be undiscoverable depending on the number of posts getting into this channel and the behaviour of the HOME channel owner in scrolling looking for good posts. For what I've seen with my more than 200 posts, is very much the same behaviour as you describe.
Datahounds rejoice! Great post
good job friends
Great insight! One of my biggest newbie mistakes was not putting my introduction under the introduceyourself tag, which made its exposure not as popular as most of the others. Regardless, I love seeing the statistics of your post SBD growth! Thanks for posting :)
Thanks for sharing! :)
Nice share! I joined three days ago, loving it so far how it works and reading other people's posts.
Yeah, you can usually tell within the first 30 minutes how your post is gonna do. A few months back, I used to go to bed thinking my post bombed and wake up with a nice surprise from guild votes, but that doesnt seem to be the case any more.
