In this article I would like to introduce you to Groupvote through some (poor) drawings.
The idea behind Groupvote is that small accounts (ie. Less than 500HP) have a hard time getting noticed on the platform.
The top, high earning posts are usually (but not always) from large accounts:
But we're here to change that — Groupvote helps you earn free upvotes on your post. This helps you grow your account and lets you show off your talents to even more people!
Essentially, we use your Hive account to upvote other Groupvote members' posts. Later, when you post something, other members will automagically upvote your post!
Of course, you don't manually upvote anything. @groupvote (that's us) will automatically begin upvoting posts once you sign up
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this safe?
Yes. We ask for only your posting key (and that via Hivesigner) and cannot access your funds. Theoretically, your posting key would allow us to post/comment on your behalf, but we'd never do such a thing. Your posting key is only used to upvote posts on your behalf.
Will I get banned from Hive?
No. One of the beauties of Hive is that no one can "ban" you or delete your account. Moreover, this service is perfectly legal.
If you feel this service is not for you, you can leave at any time by simply revoking groupvote on Hivesigner.
How can I maximize the upvotes I get?
Great question!
For starters: do not sign up to services like SteemAuto! These services drain your upvote mana and your curation rewards are often sobering. Absolutely go for such services when you have higher voting power. For now, just don't.
Secondly: aim to convert all your HIVE and HBD into HP (in a process called powering up). This will increase your influence on the blockchain and will also increase the speed at which your account grows.
Finally, and most importantly: Post quality content. The most foolproof way to succeed on Hive is to post valuable content that the community will enjoy.
Obviously, don't copy-paste content from other places because that's just evil.
Join a community like OCD, GEMS, LeoFinance, OnChainArt (if you can draw better than I), Hive Gaming... I could go on.
When you choose a community, stick to it!
Before I leave you...
Please be aware that Groupvote strictly stands against vote harvesting of any kind. This is not a money making scheme and I do not intend to profit off it.
Groupvote was created for one mission only: uplift small creators. I invite everywhale (and non-whale) reading this to watch me closely, lest I change directions.
You may join this service if you have less than 500HP total (including delegated), and have a reputation of less than 50.
You may not join if your account is part of a blocklist or have reputation below 25.
Thanks for reading till the end,
The Groupvote Team
