Following my recent post Highest paid introduceyourself posts, I wanted to provide some interesting stats on posts with the introduceyourself tag. I've analysed data from the last two months and looked at:

  • Overall payout distribution i.e. payout ranges for each percentile
  • Average payout and post frequency by weekday
  • Average payout and post frequency by hour of the day

Note: posts from the last 7 days have been excluded as the final payout is not finalized.

So... here are the results:

Looking at the above table graphically we get...graph1.JPG

You will see from the graph that the highest frequency occurs on Monday and Tuesday and the average payout is not strongly correlated with day of the week (except for Monday).

The table below shows average payout and post frequency by hour of the day (GMT). You will see that the busiest time for introduceyourself posts is between 17:00 and 20:00. Looking at average payout, there does not appear to be a clear pattern evident, however, mid to late morning appears to have a lower payout than evening/early morning (GMT).

I think this is probably enough numbers for anyone to digest in a single post so I will leave it there.

Thanks for reading and hope you found it useful.

Interesting. How/where were you able to find the raw data?

looks like a bit of time put in to it for the benefit of others, thanks :) very interesting and all who digest it hopefully remember to up vote

I also did my introduction the first day I was on here. Did it all wrong. Is it unethical to do it over?

Thanks for sharing. I find it interesting that there are more post around the 5 pm time slot that any other time of the day. I'm guessing most people are getting out of work or have some free time.

How did you find all that?

Thanks for sharing this amazing post. I just love numbers so much. More content like yours should be posted so we have a better idea of whats going on in the Steemit ecosystem.

Very interesting, thanks for collating and working it out. I have yet to introduce myself so will definitely bear your article in mind for timing. Following you for sure. Good luck in your steem career!

Good stuff for the starters. I did my post right away when I came at Steemit. Think i did that wrong, should first have been better informed and better followed to do the introduce post. Think I will redo mine in the next weeks, to inform my followers better over who I am.
