My best curation reward ever (321 SP / $700 USD)

in #curation7 years ago

This is why its worth taking the effort to dig out those undervalued posts, vote big and then promote and resteem them :


321.920 STEEM POWER !

This has gotta be one of the best paid clicks of all time - worth almost $700 USD

I luckily managed to get a full strength vote in on a ~$50 post that then closed at over $17,500

Just another thing that will never, ever happen on facebook.

Wow, I'm jealous..that puts any of my best hits to shame..just wow.

My absolute best is around 36 SP.

I'm actually not jealous, but really impressed at @ausbitbank ability to hit that wave and at Steemit's ability to really do what it promises to do. I'm learning every day about what the best ways are to build my presence and value on Steemit and this post definitely got me jazzed. Congrats on the curation bonus, my dude!

thx for the info
i participated as well
but when i look up my rewards there is no reward for upvoting darthvana in my history
so i'm a little confused right now
may someone help me out here?
what have i missed?

It looks like you didn't capture a large enough share of the rewards to be able to see a measurable return. Lots of factors weigh into this, steem power, timing and the weight of other voters on the post for example.

My post was an extreme example of a high power vote with good timing, not the average

so i'm pretty much useless to help people atm?
such a shame ^^

how i can find out when i voted and with how much power? without wasting hours looking for myself.
Just trying to understand, because there is a reason behind.
Even if i'm still new i'm looking forward
to become a nice and honest curator.
so unless i don't convince people of my awesome character to delegate some SP to @chrisx
i'm more or less worthless hm?

However thx for finding a moment to reply :-) much appreciated

Not worthless, every little bit helps and votes will be appreciated but it just takes a while before it becomes profitable for the curator unless you make great picks every time..

See this post for more on efficient curation https://steemit.com/curation/@liberosist/mind-your-votes-ii-a-guide-to-maximizing-your-curation-rewards

damnit ^^ i have been there already but i completely missed the menu... dooohh
https://steemdb.com/@chrisx/votes
but here i still cant find votes older than 3 days
so no chance to find my vote for darthnava?

This page shows all voters on the post, you gave 100% vote power, your account has 8.064 TV of weight and it gave you 665.658 MRS .. Theres so many voters that my phone browser crashes if I try and sort the columns.

You can also see the full history of your account via https://steemd.com/@chrisx if you want to see your past votes without knowing the url of the post.

thx again, now i figured it out ^^
665,658,218.000 Reward Shares, such a big number worth nothing hehehe
but yeah you gave me a pretty good idea how it works

THe whole post is great, and congrats to you. I love the end sentence "Just another thing that will never, ever happen on facebook". Nailed it!

Haha that last comment on facebook is so savage😁😁😁😁😁😁👊 i hope i get in on such a post! but your reputation score shows you're low key a whale bro.Teach me your ways master.

Here is a meme to remind you to spend wisely😁

lol this is so funny... horrible ofc, but funny

Dope meme.

Great, the potential here as I keep saying is crazy!

You not only got paid but you helped save and improve a human live and that is what matters most.
Congrata on the cur. Award.
Sadly I don't upvote that much, because even on 100% 1st second upvote, the most I could get out of that is a 0.004/ 0.010 worth of SP. If the post reaches alot that is.
Cheers and much love ♡

This post received a 5% upvote from @randowhale thanks to @thecryptofiend! For more information, click here!

I really have to learn more about how this stuff works. I keep hearing about how curation rewards and resteeming is a great way to earn on Steemit but I'm still not 100% on why or how lol.

But this definitely makes me want to learn!
:D

@shayne

Congratulations.

Keep go your way.

and i throw question to you.
if you think it is right way, exercise your rights.

Well I'm glad someone figured out curation is a good thing... :)

Even little posts (like my recent tire scam one) can still pay better when there isn't a lot of upvotes because the curation pool is smaller.

For some reason people don't truly know how curation works yet. :)

I'm glad you wrote about this... I may quote you. :)

WOW, thats amazing @ausbitbank... I'm just currently a "Little Minnow" in a big lake for about 11 days, I just started following you and your results are AWESOME!! Hope I can get a whale to follow me one these days so I can say this.... haha :-)

Thanks, followed ;)

I've been focusing on commenting and curating more than blogging recently, and it is starting to pay off. I received my largest Steemit financial reward last night, and it was for a comment! And the best part is...I'm getting to "meet" new people and discuss topics I'm interested in!

Upvoted and followed. Steem on!

That how you do it :)

That is seriously very impressive and good work on sharing his post :)

Best thing about this is that @darthnava got the lionshare + donations from all the generous steemians!

That is awesome and to top it off it was for a great cause. You are correct this would never happen on Facebook! Do you do all or most of your curation/voting manually?

SHESSH... I just got on steam... I have a big following on FB and get about 500-1000 likes a post ... never made me a dime, Im glad i found STEEM 11 days ago. I'll follow you too @road2wisdom ... I need to mimic successful people on here haha

Hi @stackin Yes, you will love it here, as I'm sure you already do! @ausbitbank is a great steemian! He deserves all of his success, he earned it. If we stick with it and put the money second or third and write from the heart, we can make it too. I'm following you back, enjoy :)

Good insight @road2wisdom.... let me dig deep and find my magical writing powers, I know it's somewhere in there 😂... great to meet you also 💜

HEHEE I can tell you are going to be a jokester LOL just kidding, you will do great(you will find the writing powers) and nice to meet you too :)

I'm only voting manually. I watch a lot of other curators votes and specific tags using steemviz/steemwatch/steemdb + browse obsessively + people pass me links to good posts they find.

Thanks @ausbitbank for you response, that's awesome that you do it manually! I just started using steemviz, and steemdb I will give steemwatch a try. You do great work on steemit and a lot of people admire your work here, including me :) Do you think its wise for me to wait until my SP goes up to do more curating? Authoring is fine. I curated for two weeks and it was very low I figured it was because of my SP :/ Are you going to submit into the video montage project that winstonwolfe is doing? I am. I posted my first video here yesterday it was nerve racking lol. Thanks again :)

Thanks :) The more SP you have, the easier it is to get larger curation rewards without needing one of these rareish events like the darthnava thread..

I hadn't seen the montage project yet, I'm not sure though I'm pretty camera shy most of the time :P

Thanks I Figured the SP was a big role in it besides the hard work!
I was camera shy too but I did a video did you see it? lol I was so nervous ha
Thanks

I saw your thankyou vid before, was that it or was another ?
You did fine in the one I saw :)

No, that one was the one! Thanks, I was holding my phone side ways. I didn't know whether to look at the center of the screen or the little camera hole LOL I was so nervous😰Thanks for your input. I want to do crypto videos soon as I have been learning how to trade, blockchains, etc. but I need to have it perfect and most importantly know what I'm talking about. 🌞Maybe I'll just stick with health for now🤔 LoL thanks again ttyl.

The most redeeming and inspiring thing that has kept me on Steem was seeing the charity that post brought. It means steem can be a force for goodness in this world and provide opportunities that weren't there before. Very proud of that and I tell people I know about that story.

It was pretty amazing to watch for sure :)

Although I am a cynic at times, charity should be verified before pooling $10,000 +. Steemit is full of good and bad. It's a reflection of he real world around us. We have to be careful in the future of scammers pretending. This is in no way denying what happened to that gentleman. It's just someone will get the idea to pretend to be sick. It' goes on in this world all the time. No different here.

Absolutely on POINT! I have thought for a second, I wonder if I should finish this post about how I went to a protest, and got interviews, not covered in the news anywhere (and spent and lost money to do so) or whether I should just make a post about how my son broke his leg. Not to trivialize any tragedy but I think sometimes, in fact I know, people are doing exactly that to propel themselves up and to me its all about morals. I won't do it because it isnt my nature but its also in my nature to Resteem posts about tragedy and loss and try to help and give people the benefit of the doubt. But honestly if thats what people want to do just make a link to your gofundme. STEEMIT should be a place for creating content the internet needs and wants and not about raising funds. Its just too easy for people to scam others and there are tons of ways to do it. I hate feeling this cynical...it isn't natural but man, writing my first "successful post" ($42) and then watching it go to only $37 was a real kick in the motivation-to-create-content pants. Almost made me tap out and spend the money on some Radeon GPU's 😢

True, @darthnava was a trusted member for a long time before this happened so theres no doubt in my mind in this case. We get scammers every day, you should have seen it during the last major bubble with ~15k+ posts everywhere the scammers really came out of the woodwork then :P

I heard it was more chaotic in the beginning days. Glad I joined a year later so it's cleaned up. a little. Met some early adopters when th their 800 bot accounts. Not cool.

WOW.

That's impressive.

You're pulling in great numbers too :) #BOSS

I've got no arguments with 100+ SP a week for voting up content I like. :)

I'm not currently following any curation trails, just voting manually and via steemvoter to support authors and friends I think provide value.

You the man Luke, I just set that up couple days ago... looking forward to share steem to the world now 😁😎

I posted over 500 times and still have no clue how to make any SP or SD. Now I just reply and Upvote people and Resteem those who I think deserve it. With an account like mine I cant really do much without the support of others.

You will have to go "HAM" ... You will have to go harder than everyone. I only been here for 2 weeks and have over 1400+ posts. Get that obsessed attitude :)

You are right. I need to turn off the video games and go Hard as a Motherf*cker on this STEEMIT. I am looking for validation on time investment. ROI. I do need to go HAM. You are correct sir!

I couldn't agree more. It's nice to see whales are incentified for finding really good content. I honestly think it's great to see people like you, if not, new minnows who have genuinely great ideas will sink to the bottom and they will go away on life to other things. If there was a @allwhales tag, I would definitely want them to see this. This is the road for more users and higher quality trending posts. Thanks for such a great post @ausbitbank!

WOW. This is awesome. Law of universe, if you give you will receive even more. Congrats.

True that @ausitbank! Steemit is awesome. I mean you share things and get something back in return. How great is that?! We must grow quicker😊! Upvoted! @traveldict

Oh man, imagine what its gonna be like after the hardfork with 4x more vote efficiency and when the pool is finally full + whales waking up from their slumber.

lol you could've just rounded it up to 322 SP, btw. :P

Steemit is really going places! I'm excited for those changes too.

Awesome, even tho I'm a little jealous. I've been here for a few hours now, and I'm learning more and more about all kind of things, including this platform.

Congrats for your money and good luck in the future!

That's a pretty sweet pay day for doing the right thing.

Amazing! That's probably the largest curation reward you'll ever receive in terms of SP, with Hardfork 19 incoming, whales back voting and as Steem grows there'll be far more competition for the same reward pool. Enjoy it while it lasts :)

That was a very good cause

holy crap lol

good job bro!

Nice result ausbitbank, lets hope its the first of many!

And then another few hundred on the post about the upvote. Gotta love STEEM!

Haha! nice one!

Congratulations! I managed to get a perfect storm upvote on @jdcrunchman's first post at ~29 minutes old, $0.00, and it went on to trend to #1. I believe I got about 152 SP for that as a curation reward.

For anyone reading, more curation rewards are earned with the more SP you're voting with. This is one of the reasons to power up and hold your STEEM Power.

hi i just joined steemit, i wonder curation award pay immediately or after 7 days? I have been upvoting people stories, but I am not sure whether I earn anything or not during the process

Curation rewards pay out at the same time as the posts do, after 7 days. At first, when you have limited Steem Power its much harder to earn curation rewards because you get a smaller share of the rewards so you need to make the right votes for max efficiency.

@liberosist wrote a great post about voting efficiently here : https://steemit.com/curation/@liberosist/mind-your-votes-ii-a-guide-to-maximizing-your-curation-rewards

Thanks for the info @ausbitbank... will read this now! :)

many thanks, this is a great link you have shared.

  1. increase steem power
  2. discover the gem, and not to choose the trending post to upvote.

Wow, that is impressive! It's also great that you resteemed this particular post to give it the extra attention it needed! Glad to see the Steemit community is so helpful :-)

you lucky SOB. Great work mate. It really shows that supporting smaller post can really pay dividends.
Keep up the support mate, I know I super appreciate it.

I took out my vote when I thought it was getting too much. You're welcome.

Thankyou that probably made a massive difference :P

On the same post I got .001 Steem Power! The easiest 0.2 cents I ever made!

That is definitely one to be proud of! Probably our greatest moment as a community.

I got a over 94 SP for finding @theywillkillyou still unverified! And that was on top of comment rewards. Thanks for your assistance in that, btw ;-)

Wow, that's insane! - Congratulations!

You made 10,000 times more than me... From one post.

  • Ain't Steemit crazy wonderful?! :)

Wow! My curation payouts don't go over 0.1 STEEM lol

Nice @ausbitbank. It depends on your wallet as well, lol. My upvote would have just returned a few cents.

And will never, ever, happen to me no matter what I post! Now I am just dedicating my time to replying and posting here and there and otherwise getting in on all the posts about how to make it from a 🐟 to a 🐬. $17k...that is ridiculous money right there. $500 is insane to me. My first $40 post last week is now below $40 which means some assholes flagged it which is such a dick move. If people aren't careful there are going to be a lot of people cashing out and this will be a community of whales cut in half and minnows with no one able to make anything more than a few dollars because people wont Upvote or Resteem posts make with 100% effort. I make quite a bit per hour working my job so this isn't going to break me or make me but it might discourage me from making content and a lot of other people too. And to halt the progress of a STEEMIAN who joined last September and who has over 500 posts and has bought into STEEMIT with BTC and USD would be a mistake for the community and will ultimately destroy the value of STEEM. I think there are a lot of great people here on steemit that really try to help others out but dont realize that beyond tips and contests the best thing you can do is encourage people by UPVOTING and RESTEEMING their posts. A RESTEEM from a popular dolphin or whale can make someone "Level Up" and it hardly ever happens. Not in the way it should be. There are cryptos worth WAY more that simply traded electricity for coins and this takes a lot more to make your way from nothing to something. My Litecoin operation was way more profitable for way less time and effort. I have seen popular people post the weakest stuff and make bank just because everyone is kissing their asses trying to get a mention (which is sad) and others who have a low reputation make great posts and get nearly nothing and it really upsets me. Not because I am not rich off STEEM and making money just because people know my name but because I dont think influencial people are taking time to read posts, they simply create them and dont interact as much as they should. STEEM could be so much more than it is right now and I just think we are at a real danger of losing a lot of people who have spent so much time to earn virtually nothing, literally, as others buy cars, homes and boats. God bless those folks, I Upvote them every day (without reciprocity) but there needs to be a different way to get people who create content to be seen by more people and there needs to be more whales who interact and not just sit back and invest, but I suppose that can not be changed. Ok I am done bitching, and yeah I am just mad because I don't make squat. It sucks and it feels like I would be better off working some overtime and spending time doing other things. And that thought, if felt by enough people, would destroy this entire Steemit experiment (its in beta after all). That would be a real shame. Other cryptos are already offering more community options so we need to offer something to users, especially since we have barely 200k, and even less that are active content creators. We need to start motivating 🐋, 🐳 and 🐬'S to help Minnows, bringing them into full-time STEEMIT creators and make it worth it to do so, so when you Google something or Bing it a Steemit link comes up and not Facebook or Twitter. I am not teying to be negative I can just see a weakness that could prove to tank the value of the entire operation.

Lol. That's awesome!

Great Job
Really awesome
Thanks for sharing
Have a nice day
happy for you and happy for me as I reached today 500 followers

Congrats on the followers. Takes a lot of effort (unless you have a ton of SP and can drop $10 bills in a click hehe)

Wow @ausbitbank , I'm learning a lot in 14 days from being in the steemit family. Congratulations, I'm glad to be a witness of successful people here.
