It was about 12 days ago now that I reached 2000 followers, and 14,000 posts!! (June 24th 2017).  

I hit 1500 Followers, 13,000 posts & 15,000 Steem Power all in the same week, (June 5-12th) and today is July 6th, so ~30-35 days ago for those milestones. 

I joined in early August 2016, (7th, I think?)  of 2016 so around 11 mths ago now.

----

I had 1200 followers / 12,000 posts on May 31st, 2017. These other milestone posts are below.

That is +1300 followers & 3000 posts in the last ~36 days given today's post count + new followers!

**It took me 50 days to move from 70 to 71 Rep. score.**

----

I would have gotten to 71 Rep Score several days sooner, but I was flagged by a huge whale on here, with 7 accounts at their full vote power when I did a post to welcome +  encourage new user and friend @itsmee.bosslady to Steemit -- and that killed the post rewards I was largely going to donate to her and it dinged my rep score quite a bit, when things like that happen. Just so newer people have an idea of what to expect with certain things here.  

It is very true, the higher your rep score climbs, the longer and harder it is to move up to the next one. You really start to notice this once you hit the 50 rep score range.

----

Here are the recent screenshots from some milestones of mine, so you have an idea of what it might take to get those numbers on the platform here:  (and always for my own use in the future too)

Part of why I do these is to give newer Steemians exact ideas and numbers for my milestones so they have an idea for their own markers here - and also because I think it is nice for the future to show my milestones and preserve them as I like to look back on things like this myself.

Many of us more senior Steemians in terms of some numbers often get asked how long these things take or how to do them, so it will give some direction to newer members here. I was helped a lot along the way so I try to help when I can back as well.

----

If Steemit becomes THE social media and Crypto blockchain, we are a huge piece of history here folks. That is part of it too.

I just continue to Minnow along here. I've taken 5 weeks total off.  As you know, I like to report good news and encouraging things when I can for others, sometimes that includes my side of things too.

**I wanted to thank all of you who have voted for me, chatted with me, helped me, and become a friend.**

I have been very active on Steemit trying to help others, spread good info, build community and stand up for what is right when I need to for the greater good.

I am in the Top 1% or better in every stats categories now for quite awhile here now on Steemit today showing just under ~ 245,000 accounts as per SteemData.com today...... ( https://steemdata.com/stats ) 

--- The SteemD.com stats side has been been down for a long time now on & off.

I am sitting 10th overall in total post count with my stats as of today.... ( 15,011 Posts. ) with 4 bots ahead of us in the top 10 posters, so if you do not count the bots, I am the 6th human in the top posters for total post count hahaha!! (:

I was  sitting 9th for most of the last 4  mths, but the 2  new bots on here posting 100x/day are blowing us out of the water hahahaha!!

I am still trending in the Top 50 Authors on Steemit.

I am #37 right now sorted by top authors in last 30 days. I am #42 sorted by top authors in the last 7 days:

The following/followers stats have ALWAYS been several days behind for some reason in the 11 mths I have been on here, you can see the followers here are way below the 2500+ I have today, showing only in the 2482 range, it is likely 2 days or so behind here but even then I am close to #90 rank overall in followers now:  I actually lost ~10 places or so since last Milestone update here)

I am #137 all time now on Steemit for total value of posting rewards out of ~245,000+ accts today - up a handful of places over  last update: 


![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQvQDHaE1hrnMJQ4dwxk2qfcDenjEpXFwDJLhku1wcEfv/image.png)


That is almost unbelievable to me still, given the epic payout and authors we have seen on here and I missed the early gold rush days where nearly any post put up last May-July made hundreds of dollars a lot of the time, or MORE!!   

I have just worked hard daily, stayed at it and done my best.  

----

I am #581 all time now on Steemit for total account value out of ~245,000+ accts today - That's up +18 places from my last update:

I am #68 all time now on Steemit for reputation score out of ~245,00+ accts today - same as my last update.

Thanks for the friendship and support along the way everyone.

I say that again, because it is very true. And I am glad for the knowledge I have gained and helped spread here and for the support and the friends!!

Keep on the Rockets to the Moon with your goals and Crypto as we are all early adopters here and always try and keep that in mind, it can be easy to get discouraged if you do not.
