Thanks for posting and upvoting this so much. It makes me feel less guilty for upvoting my songs a little bit. I was worried about it, since they're not fully mixed or whatever, and I didn't spend weeks on them. I upvoted them to around $10-$20 and got worried that was too greedy.
I'm less worried now. ha. This looks like a lovely time, and I'm not criticizing the content. I just think you will end up learning a lesson from this, and the lesson is make more posts to equal $300 if that's what you want to make, but don't just sent all the bots to one single post and expect no one to raise a stink.
Agree @rhinoceroses and thanks for the feedback. That was too much bots in a single post, I'm learning the platform and I love it.
Your responses to all of these are so civil. Most people would get super defensive. Kudos!
You also need to be careful about flags @jonmaim if you boost your posts too high someone with a lot of Steem Power might flag your post and remove all of your rewards (if that happened you'd suffer a serious loss for a $300 boost).
As a fellow expat and family man, I will continue to support your family oriented posts. I only have a little Steem Power now but I am accumulating more every month.
Good luck!
Thanks Chris for support and advice.
Yes, will definitely boost less the next post. As I have some Steem to power up, I think it's more advantageous to use them for promotion first. Indeed post payouts will transform themselves in SP. After a few weeks, the result will be an increase of 15 - 25% more SP from the starting investment.
I think promotion by botting is a fantastic tool for newbies / minnows / plankton as they can level up. Other option is to continue writing 70+ posts with 0.000 STEEM payouts like I did. All this with no comments at all.
Yes $10-20 is about average, and do feel guilty. With a bear going on this is obscene. Even $10-20 is high atm.
Don't feel guilty if you feel Steem is the future.
I was agreeing that yes YOU feel
Guilty hahaha
Well, instead of powering up, i have used promotion bots, which at the end is the same process it seems.
