RE: Back on My Bike for a Ride with My Dog

Minnowbooster has a system for people to review content. So if they approve you, someone should let you know. The paid upvotes work out better for people on the whitelist than for users that have not been approved for it. I delegate a little bit to give something back for the upvotes. I really like to retain my SP as I want to do everything I can to build a bike community here. I also try to upvote good film reviews.

Sort:  

And ideally, someday this stuff should work out so we all can get plenty of upvotes without paying.

Okay, so if I understand correctly, what you recommend is sending a SBD to minnowbooster each time I publish a post, to give me upvotes on that post. Is that correct? I just published two posts, so I may give it a chance with one of them. Let's see what happens. Thanks for the info, btw!

Yes, but use the interface on the website to see what SBD to send. You can deposit it, then buy votes. Sometimes you need to wait for bigger votes to be available. With the drop in SBD and steem price this past week, it may not be as profitable. I'm still trying to get an understanding of that. Also, they will only upvote posts less than 2.5 days old.

It seems that with the lower SBD/Steem price that I basically broke even after curation. That's not a big deal I guess. It gains exposure and followers. But when the prices are higher, it basically is more like 10% more than I paid once I factor in the higher value of Steem to SBD.

Edit: My last calculation was from using Smartsteem actually. I just used Minnowbooster on my newest post and it works out to a 10% ROI. Basically you get your SBD back plus some Steem Power. But keep in mind, this might be lower if you haven't made the whitelist yet.
