2025 BLURT Goal

Well 2024 was a miserable failure for me, as far as my BLURT goal went. I set a goal of 50,000 staked BLURT for the year and so become an Orca Whale. Somewhere after mid year I realized there was no way I would be able to reach that amount so I revised my goal to 40,000 BLURT. As you can see even that amount was too much for me, I missed by 3,400 BLURT. Which is quite disappointing.

The reasons for not reaching either goal are several but the main one was a lack of effort on my part. I just did not post enough. So I did not get as many votes as an active Blurter should have. And of course, for some reason I started, after mid year, receiving less votes and of a lower value. That also was a big dent in my goal aspirations. I do not know if this less votes things means less active people on the platform or actually just that my work is not noticed. I actually am hoping it is my work that is no good, we need more people on this platform, not less.

Anyway I now have to set a goal for 2025, and I am looking at this low vote low value trend on my posts. This means I have to of course post more, much more, and hope I get a few high value votes every once in a while. But I think I will set the same goal I set last year, 50,000 BLURT staked. Better said I need nearly 13,400 votes to reach that goal.

Now, last year I actually thought I could get to 50,000 and I was short of nearly 30,000 BLURT, this year I am being more realistic, and I think if I put in more effort on this I just might make it. It is less than 1,200 BLURT a month, about 40 a day. I am making I guess about 5 from curation so I have to find a way to make posts that get me 35 BLURT a day.

Getting a few good votes every month could probably get me half of what I need, so the rest has to come organically from members. I guess if I interact enough I can achieve this. Well that is it for now, next year I will be an Orca Whale.
