#Steemit Accounts - Year End Target
Minimum Target of 650,000 Accounts
In May and June of this year as most of you may be aware we witnessed an explosive growth of new users registering on #Steemit.
Based on this explosive growth continuing, I set a Minimum Target of +650,000 Accounts by the end of the year.
With less than 100 days to go now to the End of Year I am sad to say that this Minimum Target of 650,000 Accounts is looking unlikely to be hit.
As we come to the end of September, we have averaged 1,577 registered new accounts per day in the month.
With 96 days to go to the end of the year, if this average was maintained we would hit no fewer than a total of 538,061.
On other words, should we still wish to hit the Minimum Target of 650,000 we would need to achieve no fewer than an average of 2,743 accounts per day, a figure that has never been achieved on any one day in September.
I for one am gutted that this Target is unlikely to be met and though we are still growing my guess is that we will have to wait until sometime in February 2018 to see this magical number.
Thanks for reading.

Who knows... there might be 8-10k new accounts each day around Christmas.
If BTC explodes now, Steem will rise to 2$ again which might also draw in a lot new users.
Your target is not very likely anymore, but still possible.
Slow and steady as they say
Good job nonetheless, thank you for helping Steemit grow!
With Halloween and Christmas season round the corner we could encourage relevant posts which will start featuring in the search results during the last 3 months of the year. So maybe offer an incentive for publishing such posts?
Just a thought, because I know that a large content-packed site like Steemit can dominate the search results by using a few good SEO techniques.
It's not the end of the world but you have been working so hard to achieve that target that you're probably a bit disappointed. Perhaps during Steemfest we come up with a super guerrilla marketing idea to put in place from now on, in addition to the initiatives already running.
Great to see the community growing nonetheless. I still feel personally that steemit isn't ready yet for the average user. I have encouraged my friends to join, who are already interested in the blockchain economy, none have yet joined. I will keep pushing them! For my not so technologically oriented buddies I am holding back for the platform to further develop.
What I am actively doing is promoting Dtube on youtube, so that my favourite youtubers would join steemit and start posting their videos on Dtube as well.
Perhaps word is getting out there is an issue of censorship in this platform. Speaking of which, why did you flag Roger Ver?
I have no idea what you are talking about? When did I flag Roger. Stephen
to achieve success is difficult, not in line with expectations, but rest assured it will all be realized with confidence, enthusiasm and work
that's still impressive growth of the user base
This is really not bad you never know what is going to happen, hope you make the target.
hopefully to arrive as targeted
"Patience, grasshopper"

Hi, I am a new user of Steemit. I think the main issue is the advertisement of Steemit as a whole . Very few people know about Steemit. I , for example got to know about Steemit recently from my sister in Nigeria and then I remembered I had seen the image Steemit on a friend 's whatsapp status so I contacted him and he introduced me to the community of Steemit.
Now , the question is, why didn't I inquire the first time I saw the image on his status? This is because I thought it was some complicated tech thing or probably his personal business which I didn't want to delve in to because I had a lot going on in my life and wouldn't want to bring in another baggage .
In essence , there is need for a strong advertisement of this block chain industry and I mean accessible advertisement where a non tech individual would grasp the information and benefits without seeing the whole process as complicated .
Just is just my thought.
Thank you for your comment. You raise a valid point. First of all welcome to #Steemit. I could not agree more with you about simplifying the techy side of things. I for one have been out the street promoting #Steemit, handing out Flyers, T-Shirts, Business Cards, Mugs, Pens and Caps and know that there is definitely a barrier when it comes to the technical complexity of the platform. The real problem that #Steemit has is that it has been developed by some of the great techy minds that just assume the average person gets it. The stark reality is that the average person has absolutely no idea what it is and what is does, let alone wanting to join. When I promote and market #Steemit, I cut out a lot of the garbage that simply confuses people and sell a "Life Style" Social Media experience. The nuts and bolts I put to one side. Stephen
Exactly, you hit the nail on the head. I guess we still have to keep advertising with WOM( word of mouth) and make people understand the aesthetic side of Steemit.
It's the nature of crypto that we should grow in fits and starts. I think summer is over and we're going to have to settle in for crypto winter. It means we have to be patient before we see great progress again, but I'm ok with that, a bear market is just as important for the health of crypto as the bull market that brings in money and excitement. Perpetual bull markets breed malinvestment and must be reigned in eventually. With less excitement in the crypto space, we see a natural slowdown in users joining Steemit. Growth will remain strong in the places where Steem solves the most problems.
hi Stephen,
Do we have any stat for avg active users, i feel that would be more appropriate
