Today I celebrate my Steemit Third Month Anniversary! I do not count it from the day I joined, I count from the day I decided to post my introduceyourself which was October 29th!

Sometimes I get melancholy when my birthday or certain anniversaries come up.
Instead of enjoying the moment, sometimes I am thinking .. What else could/should I have done to improve things?

But instead of thinking about that, it is best to recap and get ready for another exciting month!

Let us start with a few numbers; Even though I do not (yet at least) keep statistics for my steemit posts, I am noting a few numbers down for my ‘anniversary posts’
_{Note: Source of Gif - me}

• My reputation has increased from 52 to 54
• My followers have gone from 127 to 381
• My posts (comments included) were 262 and are 810
• My followings were 164 and now are 356
• My steem power was 235 and is now 509
• Steem price was $2.86 and now it is $6.24!
• Steemit’s total accounts were 537.822 and now they are …more than 667.596 data from 26 Jan 2018

I would like to share with you a few things that happened during the previous weeks!

1. Brought more people in steemit - check.

I was reading a few weeks ago an idea (I believe it was discussed between @onceuponatime @skapaneas & @trumpman, please correct me if I am wrong) that there should be a pledge of some kind that each person should bring at least two new steemit members. I feel so happy to have achieved it and I hereby am additionally stating, I plan to do more but will not share just yet.

I am excited to have written a post about @thetroublenotes Please read this post here and how they inspired me! I shared it at my twitter account and, they soon after responded and joined steemit!

I urge you to give The Trouble Notes a warm follow and support them. Their music is coming straight from the heart and is overwhelming!

I have also brought to steemit a very nice person, a friend, a talented photographer @tbouras. I would like thank everyone reading this who has already supported him, as he takes his first steps in the platform and he will soon post his introduce yourself post (there are certain issues these days that will not allow him to do so)

Thank You Again everyone from @greek-trail and beyond for supporting my friend

2. Achieved some milestones – check

I do not like talking about myself, but there are times that it is nice to inspire new people 💙

a. Upvoting

I have not casted any self-upvoting for more than a few weeks (I do not remember when exactly I stopped). Moreover, I have reached the 1M Vests which is something that basically allows me to select my vote percentage with a slider. This way I can cast way more upvotes and help even more steemit friends with my upvotes! (even still small ones)

b. Next Level in Steemitboard

If you visit https://steemitboard.com/welcome.html and put your username, you will see some accomplishments, statistics and the number of your Vests that define your category. As per steemitboard's categories, I am now officially a minnow (after being a red fish for 3 months)
Thank You to everyone who supported me and helped in achieving this! Now I will stay here comfortably until becoming a dolphin .. hahaha

c. I got copied

Yes, it is unbelievable but a user of steemit actually copied one of my posts (and it was the post about the cheetah and the ‘why you should not’ copy-paste posts or anything from internet!)
Thankfully, @steemcleaners have tracked the user and warned him. (Thank You! I will write a post about you in the next days)

d. One of my travel posts made it to the traveldigest by @steemitworldmap

I feel honored and extremely happy that my post about Dia island made it in the traveldigest list by @steemitworldmap

e.Sharing Knowledge & Experience

It is wonderful to be asked for advice from friends but it also gives a great responsibility. I am happy to answer questions and give my opinion, feel free to contact me but please understand that that what I can share with you is only my personal opinion and based on my personal experience. I do hope that it can be helpful, perhaps light a fire and wake up thoughts & inspirations that are already there.

3.Next Month Goals

I will keep this section short because this post has already gone toooooo far away. For the next month I would like to ...

• Prepare some more informative & how-to & reviews for steemit
• If possible, finishing a draft site I have prepared where I will include my and other people’s useful posts for steemit
• Write some more about Heraklion, Crete and add more photos in @steemitworldmap
• Try to keep up with all the amazing things going on in steem (loosing myself so often)
• Explore some more scientific stuff
• Bring some more people in steemit!
  
  
  Thank you for visiting & reading!
  I am closing with one of my favorite quotes ...
