RE: Why 500 Steem Power is a MAJOR Milestone!
Lately, I've been trying to figure out different users motivations as @ginabot alerts me to some strange accounts following me. This, helps clarify and organize them.
I've set some Steemit goals that are due for a re-assessment. I focused on raising my reputation score every day, but not as much on SP just because it seems to climb so slowly. Even the 50SP goal seems so far off!
Ginabot is a great resource. I have been using it for the last few weeks and appreciate the information I receive.
Goals are important. You are fully aware of that as a coach. Keep working on your reputation score. I wanted to let you know that increasing your reputation score becomes increasingly difficult. When you first start on Steemit you can jump from 25 to 40 fairly quickly. But then you will notice a slowdown (at least that is my experience). That is why we do not see many people with 70+ reputation scores.
I had to fight the urge when I first started Steemit to use my earnings. At that time I reinvested all of my earning back into Steem Power. And then I realized that I believe in Steem so much that I wanted to invest some outside money as well.
Steem Power is important because it gives you a chance to help others which in turn increases your voice.
Keep pressing forward and keep Steeming!
Originally, I thought that I wanted to be able to someday say that I was able to earn rewards without ever putting money in because everyone is so cynical when you tell them about Steemit. But, maybe I should rethink that.
When I put some money into it I had a new level of commitment. I am still all about letting my content earn, but I have a new appreciation for the community. I have more in so I expect more of myself and other people.
Everyone comes to the table with different needs and goals. I have no problem with someone who grows only from earnings, nor am I concerned about someone who buys there steem power and never posts. We need both!
