RE: On Steemit - Timing Is Everything

in #steem9 years ago


They said that you only have 24 hours after submitting a post to earn $$/steem dollars... But I am sure I have seen posts from other where the $$ amount continued to climb for days.
Am I missing something?
thank you in advance for any advice you have on this.So I watched a video last night where @dan and @ned were explaining how steemit works and they said something that I had never heard before so I was hoping you could shed some light on it.

Sort:  

Payouts happen every 24 hours. So when you get your first payout, everything resets and you start over. Currently, the total shown won't change. It will always reflect the amount you were paid out on the first 24 hours. The exception to this is if a large stakeholder (a whale) upvotes your post in the final hours of the payout, that will then delay your payout a few more hours. You can get paid on a post infinitely, it's just unlikely most post will continue receiving more than a few pennies or dollars after the initial 24 hour payout period. But you never know!

Thank you for helping me understand this better. I am going to share your comment over on @dcryptogold - he did a post about this subject and I just want to help everyone else get a clearer understanding of how things work, after all, we're all in this together!
