Yep! It's that time of the month again! Time for my somewhat obligatory monthly report which is also a good time to look back to what I have done during the past month while showing off some of my so-called "little" progress.
| Month | Steem Power | Reputation | Followers | UA Score | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| December | 1810 | 66.16 | 952 | 3.572 | 5929 |
| January | 2006 | 66.59 | 961 | 3.573 | 5999 |
| February | 2105 | 66.79 | 973 | 3.659 | 5566 |
| March | 2196 | 66.97 | 976 | 3.642 | 5756 |
| Increase: | +91 | +0.18 | +3 | -0.017 | -190 |
Comparing numbers from my last month's report, I've only gained 91 Steem Power this month which is 9 Steem below my preferred monthly goal increase of 100SP per month. XD
As for my reputation, it is slowlyyyyy but surely increasing and in a week I predict I would finally break into reputation 67.
As for my followers, I've only gained 3 this month which is not at all a surprise really as I've been somewhat inactive lately in commenting on other people's blogs.
Perhaps for that reason, my UA Score might have suffered a little as I got a decrease of 0.017, pulling me back 190 places in the UA rank.
What's new for me this month?!
Second week of this month, I shifted from using Busy.org to using the ESteem app.
I'm not gonna lie and honestly say that the main reason for this was the very low upvote value of the Busy bots due to Steem still below $0.5 USD.
While I am aware that they take 10% beneficiary compared to Busy.org's generous 0% beneficiary rewards, I somewhat feel that money-wise I am confident that I would at least still be able to breakeven.
Out of 22 blog posts I've posted via Esteem this month, only 16 articles got upvoted with an estimated upvote value of $10.66.

One thing I've noticed though is that the upvotes coming from ESteem seems to be 100% automated now compared to before. Like if you don't get an upvote 13-18 minutes after posting, then don't even expect to get it later.
But yeah seriously last time I posted via the ESteem app, I still have hopes to get upvoted even though 12 hours had already passed, now if the votes don't come in 13-18 minutes then you consider yourself donating 10% of that post payout to them. XDv
