OK, I am short of very little to reach level 58, it has been quite difficult, I guess if I used upvote bots I would have gotten there a long time ago, but just expecting upvotes from real people, or perhaps people who have upvote bots themselves makes this a long wait. I am not by any means a trending author and getting votes is difficult, and that is the only way to raise a level, get enough votes to get there.

This is where I am at this very moment, only short of 16 billion REP to reach level 58, sounds like a lot right, but in reality I don't need that many votes.

And you can only get votes by writing articles or commenting other people's articles, now I can't write that many posts and I really don't get that many votes from articles, so today I will focus on commenting any interesting post I find, perhaps I can get more votes with my comments, you see if I comment on a trending or hot post many more people see that comment than any article I write so my chances for votes with comments I think are better.

I'll see if I have the will and drive in me to make it today, but at the most I do expect to reach level 58 by tomorrow. Let's see if I can do it.
