⏺My first 2000+ posts! What I have learnt so far!

I have definitely learnt quite a few things since joining Steemit a little under 3 weeks ago. I have been taught so many lessons and I would be lying if I said that I am the same person that I was when I started here.. Because every single day has been a day of improvement and lesson learning.

I want to keep this simple to read. With that being said, I am only going to talk about one of the concepts I have discovered, but don't worry, it'll still be worth it.

The biggest lesson I learnt was the power of the Law of Averages.

I realized that so many people are always willing to complain, but never willing to put in the necessary work.

To be honest, it's difficult for me to structure this post right now, because there are so many thoughts running through my head at once.. But let me explain.

Below I will show a snapshot of my first 1000 posts, then under that when I made 2000 posts..

What do you notice similar in these two pictures?

If you didn't figure it out, it was that everything remained in proportion. Why? Because an average appeared.

See once an average starts, it's tends to continue. I like to work with the average of 1:4. That means for every 4 people I speak to, roughly 1 person on average will go to my profile and follow me.

Each and every action will, over a certain number of events, always create an average for itself. That's why some people will make 1000 posts and get only 100 followers.. Others will get 500 followers from only 1000 posts..

But that all boils down to quality. In my first 48 hours on this platform, I gained 200+ followers. I was so impressed with myself until I made my next post, and only 5 people saw that post.. My point is, your actions will create your average, which will create your final result.

I don't want to get too in-detail with this topic, as there is so much more I can discuss.. But in short, you need to find your average by doing consistent daily actions. You can then adjust your average by adjusting the quality of your actions.

For example.

In my first 48 hours, I had a very high conversion rate for posts:followers. I made like 300 posts (comments), and gained like 200 followers, but the quality of my actions were far lower.. I wasn't building any rapport. I just went and asked all the new members to follow me. Look at the result.. No upvotes.. No comments.. No engagements..

I then switched things up (literally to the opposite) and started only posting valuable comments. Some of my comments nowadays even exceed 500 words trying to assist some people.. So sure, maybe my post:follower ratio is lower, but the end result is my upvotes doubling.

My math on my average is the following:

⏺1:4/5 follow ratio. (every 4 comments I make, 1 new person will start following)
⏺Roughly 5% (to be safe) of my total follower amount will be received in upvotes. That's just a conservative sum. Usually, depending on the quality of your content, it can go up to 15-20% even.

So if I have 20 followers = 1 vote (average)
100 followers = 5 votes
500 followers = 25 votes
5000 followers = 250 votes
etc.

Now, for those of you always wondering how to them Whales to see your content.. I will actually keep this for a separate post, but it also ties into this.. Basically that concept works on a simple average too.

Your following will generally average with the largest portion being Minnows, the second largest portion being Dolphins, and the smallest portion being Whales. This average begins to come into play the more popular you get.

So, if you only have 100 followers, don't be shocked if you don't have any major people seeing your stuff. You need to allow the Law of Averages to play out. That's why you will see most of the smaller accounts making roughly only $0.01-$0.05 pet upvote they receive on their posts..

And then the larger guys you get even $1+ per upvote. They have a big enough audience to be able to let their average play out.

Again, I will repeat, there is a lot more to it, but I have tried to keep it fairly on the basis of the concept.

The main point of me saying all of this is simple.. If you are worrying that your content is not being seen, then stop worrying! With all respect, it's pointless. Stop complaining, and start working harder. Let your averages play out, because with consistency and persistence, they always will.

I would just like to give a shout-out to a few people on this platform that I have recognized in the last few days to really have their actions speak for themselves. You guys really put your actions where your mouth is, and I am proud of all of you! If you guys aren't already, then go and give each one of these guy's a follow :) They deserve it.

1. @Sweetsssj - I honestly have no words for this young lady. Hands down the hardest working woman I have ever spoken to.
2. @Papa-Pepper - This guy is just the utter perfect example of what I have spoken about in this article. Just on a MUCH LARGER scale! Keep it up my dude. You have inspired me.
3. @Stackin - This guy is going absolutely 'HAM' on his account. He only joined around the end of May and he already has done over 5400+ posts, while gaining like 2500+ followers. Keep it up yo.
4. @Saffisara - Just when I felt accomplished about getting 2000 engagements done, I look at her profile after her being super modest, constantly giving other people compliments, and she has done more engagements than me! I was super impressed. This woman deserves support on her content. Let's support her guys!

Sorry if this post was long, I hope you all were able to take something of value from it.

More than how much this post can make, I care far more about getting my content in front of newer faces. So if you would like to show your appreciation, it would be awesome of you to resteem this, and share it with others!

Talk soon guys.
