I took a straw poll of some of the accounts about the same size as yours. Based on author and curation earnings over the past 30 days, they were all coming in at about 2,000HP over a year. I noticed that most of are not powering up 100% HP (opting for 50% HBD/HP) and have fairly low curation returns - 5% compared with the more usual 8%-9% - which could be improved.
On the other hand, we have a fair few much bigger accounts where 2,400HP would be an easy threshold and accomplished in about half the year.
I'm inclined to go with 3,000HP as I think the smaller accounts have room to improve with fairly simple options (if they choose them) plus it might provide the push to keep posting?
3,000HP would be 5x what we're asking of newcomers, feels about right, given Dolphin is about 10x the starting position. (I'm not sure where 3,500HP came from, wrong maths)!
What do you think?
That sounds good to me ! I tend to curate lots and post less, which gives me a useful challenge to improve my posting (or to post smarter to improve the results I get from it !)
I never get the people who don't curate to the absolute maximum of their ability. It's like leaving money on the table, but more importantly they're missing out on helping others earnings and on the whole "social" part of social media.
Lovely, thank you for your help. 😍
