My first Hive Power Up Day - November

Hi guys!

Hope you are having nice Sunday!

Firstly I have to say thank you for all the support at my yesterday's post - https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@crazy-andy/this-is-my-entry-to-the-pinmapple-if-i-had-usd1000-contest-seychelles.
It was an awesome feeling being at the top of trending page for quite some time. I felt honored as that was first time for me and hope not the last :)
Especially big thank you to @OCD for all the curation they are spreading out. I have to admit I get huge amount of it through the last month. Thank you very much for that! I am grateful for all followers and other hivean friends supporting me as well.

And now lets go down to business - numbers :)

This is my first power up at the start of new month and with it participation at traditional Hive Power Up Day. Not that I didn't power up in the past, but I was doing it daily to raise my power. Being a small fish, every HP counts :)
This month I wanted to stack Hive which I get from curations, to see the amount at the end of the month. This is also area where I dedicated most time and I get the most knowledge in the past months. Sure, you also need power to be effective, so it could be frustrating at first, but you shouldn't give up. I never thought I would ever earn 5 Hive daily only with curation. From the very first day on Hive I power up 100% and that won't change until I reach at least 50k HP. Well, at least that is the plan. Never say never, but I am pretty sure that will be the case. I want to have influence and be supportive, especially to small accounts as I know how I felt and still feel when I receive recognition from some bigger account.
Well the amount I powered up today was around 450 Hive to get to 8990 HP. In total I raised my HP in the last month from around 7400 HP. My goal is to grow for at least 1000 HP each month, but 1500 HP would be amazing pace for me, so hope I can maintain that through next months as well.
About 1000 HP came from authoring posts and the amount I power up today came from curation or better say curation reward. Most came from being a part of Curangel curation project. I am getting daily around 10 Hive as a reward for my nominations. That is amazing number for me and helps me with my growth. I am also curating for TipU so that brings a small part to the pool and curation for OCD at Photography Lovers community brings some benefits as well.

My reputation is also growing and I will reach 70 soon.

Below I am sharing graph of my account growth:

And the one I am most proud of. It is curation reward graph. In the middle of August 2020 I earned around 0.5 Hive daily from curations, now this amount is 10 times bigger.

I will do my best with manually curating and authoring posts in the future as well. Hope to see you next month at 10k mark :)

Long live Hive PUP day and great Sunday to all!
