The action is UPVOTING COMMENTS.
I handed this tip out multiple times yesterday for the reasons above.
And in addition to that, users will lower SP (< 1000/2000) are likely to receive more rewards in curation from the comments they vote, when compared to being in 200th position in voting order on a post paying 200/300.
This, as far as I am aware isn't common knowledge, as I suspect not many larger accounts wish to state 'don't vote for my post it's not worth it, I won't see your vote and you will receive 0.001 or nothing in rewards!'
What they will see though is a solid comment/reply and a vote on their comments.
As always, sound advice for the new recruits here, cheers :D
That is an amazing point that I didnt think of.
To make your curation somewhat more valuable, start upvoting posts. The fact that you stand out also means that you have less of a pool to share with on that comment.
This is a fact that needs to be spread around some more.....curation rewards are still something that is misunderstood...I know you are doing your best to bring it to light.
Yeah, most of the time it could be just your single vote on a comment = all the curation reward is yours.
A vote of 0.01 on a huge post could mean your reward being less than 0.001 which is the lowest that can be paid.
I'd rather see newer accounts focus on engagement over curation rewards, and I'm willing to pay the best engagers each week as you have probably seen :D
It is a great idea @abh12345. And yes I am aware you are paying through your curation reward league...it is something I will have to take a closer look at.
You words here this morning reminded me of a great path for all of us to take with our curation......
And how much of an asset it can be in creating a stream of SP flowing into our accounts on a daily basis.
We all want to swim with the Whales and take home what they do, but as you alluded, even a Dolphin upvote can get lost in a very popular post with the Orcas and Whales all upvoting.
Yes very true, especially if we wish to share our votes out to many which as a #stewardsofgondor member, is something I think we should all be trying to do.
The SOG Stalking Program.
We stalk each other all over Steemit. 😀
It is unlikely there is a community that is more committed to engagement on the platform, and so very likely we will bump into each other often! :D
I already do...I cant go anywhere without slamming into @goldendawne.
She is everywhere on here.
I am still wrapping my head around all of this, but do you think it's for this reason that when a heavy hitter like berniesanders comments and upvotes his comment, it is an upvote of like 70 different "voters"? Is that so he doesn't have to share any of the curation rewards? Again I don't really understand how this works but I was curious as to why his upvote isn't just worth 1 upvote, haha.
Now i get it. I observed that i get larger curation rewards on comments that i upvoted than even some posts that have high pay out. Thanks for the light you throw here
Great :D I'm glad you have spotted this!
I didn't know that you get curation rewards for that. Thank you!
It is hard, as a smaller user...but that's to be expected. It comes down to attention, and how best to get it - and the comments section is a great place to start.
And I agree with you re: prioritising the comments over hoping to get a little back in curation for upvoting the original post. In the comments, you are at least visible - and it's what you do with that visibility which goes to determine your "success" (do you define success in $$ or attention).
Indeed. Most of us started with nothing, and are aware of the early struggles.
It takes time and commitment, plenty of comments are key for sure.
Attention will bring $$ in time, and they are part of being successful here I guess. It's nice to have your work appreciated and commented on, making friends with common interest I would also consider a success.
Good luck to you :)
Thank you.
I totally agree...attention brings $$, not the other way around. Too many people are chasing $$ when they should be chasing attention. Money always follows attention, no matter whether you're on Steemit, another social platform, TV, radio.
My pleasure, I'm with you 100% :D
Well I couldn't not read that article and not comment here and say. . . Great article, good tip, I'll try it right away.
Hi @abh12345 , this is Solid addition to @taskmaster4450 post! Thanks.
By the way, I replied to your comment in the 10 Examples to Add Value, and it would be great to get the information of what you did, so I added on the examples before the post expires in editing time.
Regards, @gold84
Cheers!
Yes, sorry about that - sometimes a reply does slip through the net - I've reprimanded myself accordingly, and sent you a reply :)
Interesting notion on curation rewards for comments and I sometimes upvote comments as well especially if it brings so much value to the discussion.
The more interactions we get and reward meaningful ones will encourage more people to be engaged.
Great point! Being a neophyte it's all very confusing. Is there a tool that can make clear how the rewards are being distributed? I'm forever confused as to why I get certain rewards for what. I've found Steemviz.com/pending payouts but that's only SBD. Where can I find the SP info and understand how that works a little better? Thanks for helping us newbies!
