Meh, 2$ for a post is not enough for the work I put in, I will leave!
I have read this or something similar a few times the last days. This is really stupid at the moment, believe me!
What are you talking about?
Well, right now the payouts are way higher then the actual amount displayed below a post. At least if you have selected 50% SBD/50% STEEM for the post's payout!
Why is that?
This is due to the currently over 13$ at the moment! This means that a post with a showed value of 2$ might me worth way over 10$ at the moment! 10$ shown value might in reality be way over 50$ of real worth! Sounds awesome doesn't it?
If you want to know more about that + some important tips and mistakes to avoid (One could cost you hundreds of dollars at the moment!), check out the video!
This counts for d.tube as well!
Of course this also counts for videos published on d.tube - If you do it right, they are also worth way more than the displayed amount atm!
This makes @welcoming so powerful!
Of course this also influences the power I have with @welcoming, my page where I resteem promising newcomers! Pretty much everybody resteemed at least got a few dollars shown amount.
By now you should know what that means in terms of real payout ;)
TL & DR/DW: Posts are worth way more than the amount shown at the bottom at the moment if you don't make the mistakes shown in the video!

http://steem.supply with this tool developed by @dragosroua u can easily see how much your post are actually wort in SBD,STEEM and $ i find it to be very useful
Awesome link!!!
I tested it on my own account and found it very useful! It even tells you your voting worth at current time!
yes it is the best one that I know of, you should convert your SDB while they still worth much
The only problem is that the the Current Voting Power is about an hour behind along with the Current Vote Worth...........
well if u want that to be accurate then use this one https://steemnow.com
Thank you so much! I am still learning on Steemit!
No problem if u need anything just ask
Good idea!
I dont have much but I did manage to buy more Steem with my 1 SBD in the market then converted it to about 5 Steem Power.
My other 1 SBD I used to resteem THIS great article so others don't make the mistake I made by doing transfers to turn SBD to Steem.
Totally agree . All I can advice everyone is to keep on posting and post at record numbers . Let’s show what the steem block chain is capable of!
What an awesome video my friend :)
This will help a lot of people. I think I will make a post about it and link it to this video if you allow.
Sure Ray, do whatever you want with it - as long as the message of this video gets spread, it's good for the community :) Thanks for the support!
I say enjoy the ride. You will never make any money or have any fun on Steemit if you don't stick around, put in some effort and engage with others. This is not a a gamble at the slot machines where you post something crappy and all of sudden you are a millionaire. Work at it. Every little bit counts.
Can confirm that. I'm not a very good writer. But by being active here. I'm able to earn a few pennies here and there. Which accumulate in the long run. And with SBD at $13, even the newer writer get to earn some decent rewards.
Great and wise words!
And we are clearly in the early days of this enterprise. That creates much more addiction than Zuckerbook.
Good share.
Afternoon is not a get rich quick scheme. This platform takes diligence, consistency and patience.
But if you play the long game you will win.
It's certainly not a get rich quick methode. But after 1100 posts, I can't complain about my rewards.
Wise words always worth being remembered!
People are used to post everything for just a few likes, favs, stars or whatever, so basically for free. Steemit can be seen as a huge progress and further development for people who create value with their posts. Makes a big difference.
And thanks to you, @theaustrianguy for explaining the market function!
Yeah, the difference to the known others is huge. On the one hand, steemit is not such a data collector, on the other hand users get rewared - awesome :)
I started a month ago with the goal to buy myself - a coffee at the end of the month. Meanwhile, I wrote one very good post, earned 30 SBD in total and SBD is now worth 10 $. In conclusion, I was doing what I'm regularly doing and earned 300 $! Plus, now I know how to do it even beter.
Awesome :) Planning on selling your SBD for STEEM in the market? You could rise so soon and give back more with your upvotes!
Maybe... My plan is to wait about a month and see how the exchange rate SBD vs Steem will evolve. Now it's about 5:1, but I hope that Steem will inflate a bit more. But yes, you are right, one the power is higher than 50, you can always upvote yourself at least 0.01 and break the psychological barrier that the post is terrible 0.00 $
I probably wouldn't wait for the huge amout! Just use half now and half in a month or so :) Average price -> you won't be mad!
Better write a good post again, and cash out now. Or at least that is what I'm trying to do.
sometimes all it takes is one spark to have you take off like a rocket! congratz
I share a lot on other social media sites - Facebook, Instagram, twitter and don't get anything! Not even a portion of a cent. It also doesn't help that people who see what you post on there makes up stories about what they read. You end up being the topic of those who love to gossip. It's better to share here and get appreciated and rewarded for how your thoughts flow.
Yesss! The money adds up in the end! It's definitely worth it! 🔥
People spend all day on Facebook getting paid $0 for it, but when they get paid $2 on Steemit (currently $26) they think it's a waste of time! I don't get it 😂
Thanks for the breakdown!
Ausnahmsweise resteem weil true true teue
Erwischt ...;-) Huggies raus an dich
You make a good point re the "exchange" rate....butfor new users $2 / post would be a dream come true....try $0.02 / post and the time/value equation is more realistic.
Whales seem to wear beer goggles, and this is the reason for the departure rates of minnows IMHO
I know many people are making way less. But I still saw people leave because they said "Hey, 2$ a post is not enough!". Why would we promote steemit with using way to low numbers?!
But thats the basic "sales" problem.
Under promise & over deliver works, the other way around does not.
If you set the expectation at $0.02 (currently realistic) then they are not disappointed.
The concept that whales/bots can fix this is short sighted IMHO.
FWIW my AuthorBOT and CommentBOT code is nearly done. Add it to the VoteBOT code and we can all go to the beach & leave the social site to run itself...... just a thought ;-)
The actual solution IMHO is a change in the mindset of steem re who earns
Maybe Authors (20%) and Commenters (80%) of the reward pool. (but 10/90 would be better for platform growth)
@theaustrianguy
Dank dir echt für deine Mühe, sowas ist bei weitem nicht selbstverständlich.
Bin selbst auch schwer begeistert von der SBD Explosion.
Können nur für alle hoffen das es so bleibt und/oder steigt :D
LG chris :)
Cool to see you doing regular videos now, really enjoying your style. I think steemit is the place to be right now even is your posts are below $1. Cheers man.
Great you like them. I am just trying to say what I think and convince with that, I know the quality has nothing special :)
They're ok quality wise, I would say excellent for a beginner :)
Yeah, so true. Especially for those of us who live in countries where our currency isn't doing as good.
For me personally, 2SBD is a whole lot of money!
For me too! But I know it might be more in your countrie - Even more motivation for you to earn some :) But a great possibility!
Hi @theaustrianguy,
thanks for the post it makes it more clear for me how to use the platform.
super useful!
Danke fürs teilen! Auf jeden Fall gut zu wissen :)
Gerne :) Bitte weiterteilen, falls du jemanden siehst, der den Fehler macht :)
Great post!! I always try to remind people what has Facebook ever paid you?? Exactly nothing. People spend hours a day on there and get zilch. If you truly embrace the steemit community and are not looking to make a quick buck this platform will reward you 10-fold. Just try to write clear and concise posts and be continuously involved in the community. Find some posts you enjoy and try to add value to the post. I believe in my heart I have found the right platform finally. I am only a minnow with a whale's heart. I watched a video interview yesterday of a top steemit producer and he said remember, you will be able to tell people one day you were there when steemit was still in the beta stage. He is projecting steemit to explode in the next 4 years and right now less than 99 percent of the world know about steemit. Hang in their everyone and keep steeming. Love this community and can't wait to see what the future has in store.
Das ist richtig heftig!! Was ist da passiert? hat sich da jemand dermaßen eingekauft? Danke fürs Teilen. Upvote und follow
Kann ich dir nichtmal sagen :O
Thanks for sharing @theaustrianguy!
I have to say I wondered how you could say I would earn 20$, when my post was worth 8 :P Such a nice surprise! Thanks for making this video explaining it.
I would say it's over 50$ now ;) Congrats!
Insane! :o
I will start on writing to produce some more content!
Thanks so much for helping me out now in the beginning. I appreciate it very much. I have added your account to my autoVoter to give a little fraction back! :)
Honestly, it is frustrating. If you put much effort and time behind a post but couldn't attract heavy weight visitor, you have every right to be frustrated. But taking decision to leave this wonderful community will be really a bad decision. Be sticky here and you will be rewarded.
Just keep trying - And btw., posting isn't the only way you can earn money here! I will show you another great one tomorrow, stay tuned!
Thanks!
Upvote yaa..
Great post especially for someone like myself who is new and struggling to understand the payout system. On e question please - how does a person set their payout to 50/50? cheers ;0 xox
50/50 Is the default setting.
So when posting a blog or a comment the reward settings should look like this:
Perfect, thanks :) xox
As a newer steemit user I really appreciate this tip! Will take that into account while posting my almost finished intro post, which I finally decided to write after reading your other articles. Thanks for that as well!
Looking forward to it :)
wow... i'm glad I saw this video! Thank you so much!
thank you I love you so much for offering us such a share
Thank you! I'm new and struggling to understand how all of this works. Your video is very helpful.
I tried to resteem but it doesn't seem to do anything. it's not on steemit and not my dtube channel. help please!
I have no clue, sry :(
aha, today it worked! my steem isn't always behaving
That's great news. A wonderful gift for the new year for all who worked and are working here. And let in 2018 prosperity will grow! We all earned their faith in our community.
thank you very much for informing us
So important to keep in mind. Patience and constant learning.
Thank you for this blogpost. It was a good & important reminder of the value of SBD.
thanks @theaustrianguy for sharing this...
I definitely agree that posts are worth more than just the displayed value. Even for something like commenting, a small upvote on a comment like something worth $.30 might actually be close to $1.50 when adjusting for the price of SBD. It adds up after a while so it definitely feels like anything you do right now on Steem helps you earn and grow your account.
Glad to see @welcoming helping out the community. Keep at it and your rewards will multiply!
Yes! It’s important to new users to realize this and don’t make the mistake I did on my first post!
If you see someone with that mistake, remind him of it ;)
Thanks you for explaining what the 50/50 actually meant I was trying to find out about that! And honestly saying it takes time and patience . Get Steem Power ASAP
Thanks for putting this out!
Last I looked, SBD price was ~1.5$
That must have been a time ago^^
very useful, tnx
at first i also made the mistake of looking at the numbers as USD because of the dollar sign, but it turns out they're worth even more. it's also one of the reasons why i signed up. it could be wishful thinking but i feel like steem might still be undervalued.
I find this educating. Buttom line is be patient, do your best and don't stop believing right? Great post!
The 0.02dollars is annoying but Remember some pple still have 0.00dollars and still don't complain but keep moving. With time the 0.02 would turn to 20dollars. Nice post @theaustrianguy.
Hi Martin, thanks for explaining this and pointing out the real value of SBD, especially for us newcomers to the platform. Hope you have a great day!
The most useful clip of the day so far!
Glad to see @welcoming helping out the community. Keep at it and your rewards will multiply!
Cool post and quite informative for newcomers.... I just did my introduction post where was @welcoming for the resteem?? Help me out over here, trying to attract an audience is proving rather difficult here on steeemit I could use some minnow support
@welcoming isn't resteeming every introduction ;)
Haha it is no problem I am just being stubborn is all, thanks for getting back to me man I appreciate the support!!
Quality advice.
Supporting each other as a community is truly paying off.
You can use steem.supply/@yourusername to check potential rewards as it syncs with the current price of SBD/Steem.
Thanks for this awesome video!
This really helped me
I am in Steemit for long term goals and figured I don't need my SBD so I decided to convert it to Steem Power! I wish you made this video before I transferred my SBD to savings to convert to Steem.
I made the mistake of recently transferring my SBD to Steem instead of using the market function! I only got 70% of SBD for Steem Power!
Thanks for sharing this! Now I know where I made the mistake!
Das mit dem 50/50 hab ich dann irgendwie doch falsch verstanden und bin jetzt sehr dankbar, dass ich das Video hier gefunden habe!
