Get the dolphins and the whales should follow.
I have been writing about building a reputation building which featured in 2 posts
STEEMIT is a reputation economy and Build a reputation while you can on Steemit while you can for the past few days.
Again, I have not made many posts on Steemit, this is my 15th post, but I have now some sample data to hopefully prove a point.
If you look at the trend in the graph below, which is highlighting the following:
Y Axis is Number of Votes vs X Axis Number of posts. Note that I removed the votes from Post 3 and 11 as I had some Whale votes which screwed up the stats.
You will notice that there are a steady trend upwards. Now this can be due to two things, which I hope are both good things and also hope this mean that I am building the sought after reputation:
I assume that I have more followers - No idea why there is no way to see who is following you on Steemit.
I have learnt what to write about and hopefully I am becoming a better writer.
Also there are obviously some correlation between of votes vs earning
I again removed the posts where I had Whale votes.
Now let's assume a Dolphin is somebody that can push your earning up by between $0,80 and $1.00 then the excellent post from @timd is so true. @timd's post shows the influence of Dolphin's clearly in his basic math… Why Steemit Dolphins Will Become More Important Than Whales . I am very glad to see that this post is actually trending as I type this post. Fully deserved @timd.
The second point I want to address, which I think we all clearly know, is that when Whales come on board it makes a massive difference, and this is what the Dolphins should influence as soon as we have more Dolphins around
See the massive spikes where the Whales were swimming. Good news again. I think a hit rate of two whales in 14 posts is not bad :)
I will collect some more sample data and then repeat this post in about 2 weeks from now. Let's see.
Come on Dolphin's it's your time to shine.
Please also understand that you have a major role to play in the success of this platform. Please vote for good content to ensure the minnows can also become dolphins at some point.
