Welcome to the 28th weekly installment of my series on Steemit income and growth!
Income on Steemit is generated by "investment" (the more Steem you have, the more you earn) and by "work" (earning Steem by contributing content that adds value). Already having invested my savings in Steem, I'm now working by uploading unique valuable content to the blockchain. My goal is to increase my average weekly income to 15 Steem.
Calculating weekly income
Considering income from accounts that I own, and that my wife owns, and accounts started as group projects with my funds (currently @drutter, @medikatie, @greatesteem, @hempy, @girlsofgreen, and @sativazeee), here's the running tally:
Week 01 - 0840 (+ ? ) Steem (+?%)
Week 02 - 0848 (+ 8 ) Steem (+0.95%)

Average weekly income (last 10 weeks): +7.3 Steem (+0.69%)
It was the worst week since I began recording data! As a result, the 10-week average has fallen to 0.69% growth. At that growth rate, we wouldn't hit our goal of 1500 Steem for another 2 years. So, hopefully things pick up soon.
I would love to be able to bring in funds to fuel my activism, by broadcasting my activism here on Steemit! That would really be a dream come true and I'm working hard to see it happen.
If it's possible to bring in a profit (without using bots and without buying or selling votes) on Steemit, I'll do it!
Many thanks to my team who also works tirelessly for free. Without them this blog would be a shadow of what it is now - thank you!
Hardfork20 occurred this week and has drastically curbed the number of upvotes available. It will be interesting to see if it has a permanent effect on my growth - stay tuned to find out.
How is your growth coming? Have you calculated how long it's going to take for you to reach your goal? I'd be interested in hearing from other people, and even seeing their data and analysis.
