Top LEO Author - THREE Months In A Row!

in LeoFinance3 years ago

The ripple effect is often used to describe a multiplier in macroeconomics. That one thing leads to another, and that many more things occurs due to that first stone you throw into the water, and that is exactly what these amazing achievements means to me. To be one of the most rewarded users, just by doing the things I have done for 4+ years already is incredible, and that would never have been possible without LeoFinance and its amazing leadership, community and innovative features and changes.

I am truly grateful for that opportunity, but to tell you the truth, I am honestly more happy over the fact that my contributions and the time I put in has been brought into the light rather than to stay in the shadows, and I can't thank you enough for that amazing chance and the overwhelming support.

Due to my contributions and the outstanding support on LeoFinance, I became the top 20 author on LeoFinance during my first month, in October. My second month was even more incredible and I was able to climb the leaderboards during that month. I was the 9th most rewarded LEO Author in November and during December, despite me having far less time and even though I haven't been half as active as previously, I still became the 16th most rewarded LEO Author for that month.

  • What an incredible end for year 2020.

Time To Change

While LeoFinance has given me both motivation and encouragement that I was missing for a long period of time, it has also showed me that things I believed in was true and that I was never at fault when I thought that engagement was vital for growth and success. It also proved that 'lesser' accounts are important for a healthy community so I have started to feel that my endeavours in the past was somewhat misplaced and that LeoFinance finally gives them the perfect place, and a solid foundation to build upon.

This is why I decided to bring back the Minnow-ASAP initiative, where I look for people close to 500 Hive Power and/or 100 Leo Power. People who contributes and have not yet been able to establish any significant support on a daily basis. In other words, people who are not heavily rewarded for their contributions. I am mainly looking for people who are overlooked despite their efforts of sharing quality content. I look for five people in total, initially, and my goal is to add more users with time.

If you are, or know someone who meets the requirements. Feel free to read the official Minnow-ASAP post and send me a DM on Discord [EviLDoLLTV#9035] or make a comment in any of my articles.

The Minnow-ASAP initiative is only one of the things I strive to implement and run, but I think it's a good starting point and I think it's logical to take advantage of the massive hype around LeoFinance to have a greater chance of a successful launch.

These things aren't much of a 'change' though, as I have always been eager to strengthen the community in various ways, but I have to adapt and change things if I want to be active and contribute to Hive and LeoFinance. One of my biggest problems throughout this time has been the lack of time.

Most of that is the result of my job and Covid-19. I have a hectic work schedule and this limits me. It's a huge obstacle that I cannot overcome, but there are things I can do to make things a bit easier..

One of those things are to schedule my posts, something I haven't really done previously, but something I will try to use in the near future. This should, theoretically, help me to produce content easier.

Something else I need to focus on is my personal brand building. I think one of the biggest reasons for my success on LeoFinance was due to me being unique and original. I spent a lot of time on my articles, creating covers and making necessary edits, but I did that on Hive as well..

I shared ideas, tips and knowledge around SEO (search engine optimization) and I talked a lot about marketing and how important hype is for success, and those things, despite LeoFinance being about finance & crypto, I think they hit home so to speak.

One could simply say that LeoFinance was the perfect place for me to do those things, even though it was not in the same niche, and I think that was the exact thing that was needed.

  • My content was misplaced, at the perfect place.

Not only that though, I also think that me being 'all over the place' making comments was one of the most important factors for my success, so I need to up my game.

I haven't been able to engage much lately due to my hectic work schedule and I was in the leaderboards of engagement during my first weeks on LeoFinance. I miss those days and I will strive to come up with a decent "schedule" for LeoFinance as well in the coming days, so I can create both articles for you to consume and engage on the platform as much as possible.

Let's Make Ripples!

Yeah
This was inspiring
Reading through I have come to understand that none of these achievements would have been possible if you never took in the time and put in the effort
Engaging in the platform and making sure that you create contents that are both amazing and educating was one of your strength and I envy that
I hope that the Minnow-ASAP project that you have started will go as far as helping those who put in the effort to create educative posts yet not get duly rewarded
I am very sure that if you sit back and retrace your steps you will surely be able to find a balance between doing the things you love here, and still being able to promote your brand

Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate it. A good mix or balance between engagement and content creation is most certainly important to have great results, and I will try to find a solid balance going forward.

The Minnow-ASAP initiative had great success in the past, when I ran it on Steem, so I think the possibilities are even greater this time, by running it on LeoFinance with focus on both Hive and LeoFinance. Especially due to the massive success we see with LEO. I might have to change things in the near future though, but my initial goal is to push 5 different users closer to "minnowhood".

Congratulations man on the feat. It is the result of commitment and consistency. You've added value to the LeoFinance community through your quality blogs and engagement and the earnings are the rewards.

What we see here is the power of wealth spreading which comes with great value even to the lower, middle and upper class. Everyone who contributes value gets rewarded.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much!
LeoFinance has definitely become what I am most passionate about on Hive, and it was a superb timing for me to join when I finally decided to do it. Sure, I somehow wish I would've joined sooner, but you can't focus on things that "could have been". You need to look ahead and strive towards a brighter future, and that is exactly what I am trying to do.

Exactly, and this is the reason I've focused on the 'lesser' accounts with my previous initiatives and projects. I want to strengthen the middle class, or establish a strong middle class as I truly believe that will give us a strong foundation to build upon in the future.

I understand how hard it is to be consistently active when there is so much to do outside the chain :) Having a life and a family does take up plenty of our time so it is an accomplishment to be able to be here on a daily basis..
Congratulations for this achievement, I wish you much success and .. simply the best :)
I have someone to suggest but I have not read the requirements .. I ll check it out and let you know on Discord ;)

Time is definitely one of the biggest obstacles for me right now. Covid-19 makes it really hard in terms of work, as I need to fill in for many of my colleagues, so it feels like I'm at work 24/7. That's not the case though, fortunately, but I'm having very little spare time these days.

Feel free to suggest anyone you can, whenever you can. :)

Congratz, but not surprised that you made it since you produce quality instead of quantity ;)

I guess the corona situation here in sweden kinda messes up for you and many other right now. Stay safe!

Thanks buddy, I appreciate it. :)

Yeah, I work at a psychiatric ward and with the strict guidelines we have at work now, not going to work with symptoms and things like that, there's been a lot more pressure on the workers that are healthy.

I think we have 14 people at home currently, instead of at work, some with minor symptoms and only a few people with actual Covid-19, so the rest of us are basically filling in for those 14 people..

Yeah have a friend that works extra on a psych-ward clinc aside from studying and he said the same. He was even in there when they had to do a total lockdown when they had a suspicios case on the inside. Had to stay there for 48h I believe

That's crazy. We haven't had those problems (so far), but we have been isolating a handful of people to not spread the disease.

congrats man for real you deserved it! hard work really pays off

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Thanks! Yes it does. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to put in the amount of work I want to, but hopefully I'll be able to make some changes shortly. I need to find a solid solution that gives me more room (time) on LEO.
