Very interesting. I see you have only 176 followers but aren't following anyone. You also have over 400 posts but only 1 shows up in your blog. By the way, thanks for this post. Very informative.

Aha, yes -- checking this user's Wallet shows a ton of transactions, and the account was created 9 days ago. It took me considerably longer to obtain that many followers, so it seems this is a superior method.
Copying the wallet text, pasting it into a text document, grepping the lines with "Transfer" in them, and then a slight manual massage (delete two "earned" lines, and also noticed that some of the sends were 0.002 SDB, although most were 0.001 SBD), and I see that this account had sent 0.001 SBD 551 times, and 0.002 SBD 24 times; totaling these, I get 0.551 plus 0.048, or 0.599 SBD which is generally the same as about sixty cents USD!
That's an amazing return for that number of followers. And, these number also show that the "click-through" rate seems greater than the 10% I estimated below! He sent to 551 + 24 = 575 people, and to date has gained 262 followers. That's about one in two, or 50%! (Actually, 47.5%.)
Not bad, congratulations @earncrypto! And also thanks for sharing the technique. :)
Hey a
grepuser, let's connect, I think it's a good idea!Grepping leads to grokking! :)
Wait where I've heard that before? ;)
FYI, the "number of posts" is the sum of blog posts + comments, thus, the other "posts" were the comments.
I was sent 0.001 SBD by this user, which led me to this blog post (the note on the transaction was "Welcome to Steem @libertyteeth, check my blogs for more ways to earn Steem & SBD :)"). Since it's not following anyone else, it must have obtained its followers by sending money to them. I'm not sure what the "click-through" rate is here, but if 1 in 10 do so, then it would have cost 176 * 10 * 0.001 STEEM = $1.76 -- which sounds like money well spent!
I've purchased some business cards to hand out and leave on grocery store bulletin boards, and store counters (bought some clear trays as well), which is around a $50 investment so far; I gave details here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@libertyteeth/business-cards-for-steemit-to-increase-participation
I think that this account's method of gaining subscribers has some merit. I like mine because it brings more people to Steemit, rather than just adding existing users to my followers -- but, it seems more expensive as well.
Enjoy!
Thanks I'm still learning ... Upvote & follow @lurehound
I'm new in this platform and i was looking to read a comment just like this, because no following users seems fake. But now I understand more about Steemit. Thanks.
You're welcome! I'm still learning as well. With sharing our differing perspectives, we will overcome the adversary! :)
very interesting! Now that instagram almost reached its saturation.. steemit is the way to go :)
