Hi Steemit Friends!

Upon first glance Steemit can be slightly overwhelming for a new user. With various different elements to the website like STEEM, STEEM POWER, Voting Power and SBD it is easy to get confused. The truth is that Steemit is a beautifully constructed fully transparent website with many tools to help you navigate on your journey to Steemit success!

Below, I have listed 8 websites/tools that you can use to dissect your Steemit profile/experience.

Use the following tools to:

• Take a look at the Steemit community as a whole.
• See where you stand in the Steemit Community.
• Find out what your followers BEST respond to.
• Refine your content to further ADD VALUE to your followers and the Steemit community.
• Grow your account faster.

So, here we go!

STEEM WHALES

I currently sit at approx 1550 most followed out of 123 231 accounts

Steem whales .com gives you an overview of the entire site's user base. With this tool you are able to see:

• Who are the top Steemit Whales? (Account Value)

For example, at the time of this post there are currently: 247,134 registered accounts on Steemit. Isn't that amazing?

This website will help you answer questions like:

STEEM DATA

From 10 000 to 22 000 daily active users in 1 month!

Link: https://steemdata.com/charts

This site is a great way to see how the Steemit community is progressing & growing. As of right now when I am writing this post there are:

• 22 000 daily active users.
• 15 953 daily posts.
• 82 451 daily comments
• 36 494 reputable daily comments. (not just users spamming "follow for follow")
• 301 new accounts created yesterday.
• $379,484,944/150,090 BTC total market cap

I find these stats very exciting as it shows major growth for Steemit. The number of daily active users has more than DOUBLED in the last month and the rest of the stats seem to be following the same trends. On day there were even 5000 new accounts created. That's an incredible milestone!
