1700 FOLLOWERS? - Epic Milestone + Interesting Data
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
First off, I want to thank everyone that has ever followed, upvoted, or commented on a @papa-pepper post. Secondly I want to thank everyone else on steemit. Whether you know me or not, just by being here and interacting you are all making this possible, and for that I am grateful!
Honestly, I have never even seen anything close to steemit in my entire life and I am constantly amazed by this community and its members. When I hit 1700 followers yesterday, it blew my mind! According to http://steemwhales.com/?p=1&s=followers that puts me at the 17th highest account for followers! I honestly do not even understand how that happened!
THE INTERESTING DATA
Recently, I came across a post from @stellabelle linked here that included a link to a website made by @mynameisbrian. The site http://steemit.deadfollowers.info/# shows the number of "dead" followers that you have.
Basically you can change the time criteria to see how many of the accounts following yours are actually active. Here is some of the date of the 1700 accounts following @papa-pepper.
ACTIVE IN THE LAST MONTH
At least I have almost 1000 active followers!
ACTIVE IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS
ACTIVE IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS
ACTIVE IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS
As I shared in a recent post. when you've been around steemit as long as I have, you wind up missing some of the users who choose to leave. Thankfully @matthewtiii is back, but so many others may never return.
For all of those who are here and are here to stay, I appreciate you all and I wish that there was more of me to go around. Until we figure out how to do that, I'm glad to see you investing your time on steemit, rather than wasting your time online!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
Congrats on the milestone! I always enjoy your posts, and I'm sure you will see huge number of followers once Steemit grows bigger ;)
Wow, thank you for that amazing comment/compliment.
Wow wow wow 💥
I know!
Thank you @mammasitta!
Just a little bit more to go 😜
Just a bit!
Wow. That is really epic. Congrats. Well done :-)
Yes, it is amazing. Thank you all so much!
You are very welcome :-)
Wow!!! I still have a long way to go! Congrats! :-)
Slowly but surely!
A lot of online content creators can live off 1000 "true followers." Like replace the need to ever work doing anything else again. I am willing to bet that if steemit keeps growing, you will be making more money than you could shake a stick at. Keep rocking papa-gucci.
1700 followers = 17th highest....
Ya I'm saying like if you had 1000 plus upvotes hitting every post, and monetized your branding in simple ways, you would literally be able to retire in like 5 years off nothing but what you do on steemit. Plenty of people do lower quality content, rip off marketing affiliate links and advertising, and make millions off YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram. Personally I think we are both less motivated by dollars than those people, but I am sure the freedom to just live is nice.
I was looking at synchronicity... I get your point.
Ahhh lol nice. I have been having some crazy synchronicity lately too. You are following the right path. Much love.
Congratulations my friend :)
Thank you very much!
it's my pleasure :)
I mentioned you in a recent post and used you as a good example!
no problem,
terima kasih kawan (Indonesian) :)
Very cool
It is! Thanks.
Congrats! You are killing it!
The people of steemit are amazing! Thanks.
Congrats @papa-pepper ! In no time at all, you will be #1!
I'm not sure if that spot is reserved for me, but thanks man.
Wow. You know every group, organization or family has core members that seem to be the "glue" that tends to hold them together when the going gets tough. I feel that you are a big part of that "glue" here on Steemit. Congratulations and all the best to you!
That blesses me to hear, and I appreciate you saying so. Thanks @team101!
