Being a minnow here on Steemit is not easy; especially during the frustrating times after the Hard Fork 19 which also lead to scarcity of upvotes and an unwanted trend of self voting.
But, there is still hope. Do not despair. There still is a lot to cherish and look forward to when it comes to being a minnow on Steemit. There are some amazing platforms being run by people who genuinely care about problems of the largest part of this community; the minnows!
Note: - Images are made using Canva or screenshots and all gifs are linked from Giphy.
I am listing 5 of these amazing platforms which you can be part of or use to increase your Steemit payouts. Your posts certainly deserve better than they get. These platforms will help you get a few extra bucks on each post.
1. Minnow Support Project
I am listing this one at the top because I have been using it for some time now. The other reason is that this project does not demand significant investment from minnows.
The Minnow Support Project (MSP) is brainchild of @aggroed who is a concerned Steem blockchain witness and supports minnows actively. You can find useful posts related to MSP on @minnowsupport account.
How to Join?
My fellow Steemian @diverse-thinker put up a guide on how to join Minnow Support Project. Here's the link to the guide which is how I joined too. You can ask questions on his post if you have any. You will need to send only 0.001 Steem and 0.001 SBD for registeration.
Benefits of Joining
Once a registered member, you can submit your posts for being upvoted.
- MSP bots @minnowsupport and @banjo and also the members who joined before you will upvote your post.
- Your post will get dozens of upvotes. I have normally seen 40-60 upvotes per post.
- Your post rewards will be improve 1-2 or even more Steem Dollars for free. You do not have to give anything to get these votes.
Seeing these dollars on your posts will be pretty nice. Do try it!
2. Randowhale
If you haven't heard about @randowhale , where have you been? Randowhale gives a random vote to anyone who submits his post to it. However, there are some conditions which you should keep in mind.
How to Use?
The process is very simple.
- Send 2 Steem or SBD to @randowhale. Use the link of your post you want to get upvoted as memo.
- Submit.
- Your post will get a random upvote of 1-5 % power from Randowhale and a comment on your post confirming the vote and its percentage.
Here's a visual guide to make thinks really simple. I have used it and I think it can be a profitable overall if you use it well.
Send randowhale 2 Steem or SBD.
Get the vote and confirmation.
The detailed guidelines and best tips on using randwhale are given in this post. You should read it.
3. Booster
I came to know about from an off topic comment by @sircork. I searched it and found it interesting. And of course I used it immediately to test it. You can say that @booster is similar to @randowhale except that: -
- It does not demand a fixed amount of 2 Steem or Steem Dollars.
- You can send any amount of Steem Dollars (NOT Steem). The vote will be corresponding to the amount.
- It does not upvote immediately but after every 2.4 hours (when its voting power is at peak).
Further details are availabe in @booster 's post. Do read it! Minnow Booster is still in beta and developing. I have used it. It gave me 0.5 % vote for 0.5 SBD. So, it does work.
4. Minnow Booster
Minnow Booster yet again is somewhat similar to both @randowhale and @booster but it goes one step ahead. While still in beta, it not only upvotes but also leases Steem Power for one week. Here's an excerpt from its own post.
The @minnowbooster bot project is the "Swiss Army Knife" for minnows, which can do a multitude of things. It is a vote bot similar to @randowhale, except with a predicible upvote return in proportion to your spending.
How to Use?
Using Minnow Booster for upvotes is similar to @booster and @randowhale . However, you can send any amount, as least 0.001 SBD. Here's how you will be voted.
At 100% voting power the bot will give your nominated URL an upvote worth 5 times what you paid in, with the received vote value decreasing proportionately as VP decreases, ie 80% VP yields 4 times and 60% VP 3 times, right down to breakeven at 20% VP and a loss if you pay in when the bot has less than 20% VP.
I will surely use this service when it has higher Steem Power but it does look interesting and viable because you can get 5 percent vote for 1 SBD. The most interesting part is the SP Leasing service. Here's how it works.
To lease Delegated SP, just send STEEM (at least 1 STEEM) to @minnowbooster and get 65 times the amount in delegated SP for one week. ]
The information above is just a little introduction. For complete details, visit this post.
5. The BlueOrgy Upvote & Resteem Initiative

Good tips indeed, what of whaleshares?

Great, let me know when you update it..good tips. Following you in order to stay in touch.
Feel free to check out my blog post on :Why Steemit will disrup social media and gain market sharegain market share
Charles, I do wish to stay in touch. I left for you messages on Steemit Chat as well. I'm massively impressed with your Steemit work ethic, so much so that I dedicated a big portion of one post to you. Sad that you didn't see it. Please get back when you see this. I remeber you from 5-6 months ago, our early Steemit days.
This is what I was just looking for!
Today I started to use Randowhale and Booster. Was looking for more bots. Thanks for the great info, resteemed and shared.
Thanks for reading and sharing. Glad to help.
Just read your post and upvoted
Nice one
Does it mean if one invest in all @once there will be profit on all such trials...if I invest say $50 of Steem dollar...am sure of 5x more? Is it 100% proof?
Thanks for reading. You probably missed some detail or didn't think deeply about it. You shouldn't invest $50 or more and should not expect a 5x ($250) gain. That's not how it works. Please read the terms again.
k will do and revert
thanks

You are welcome. Thanks for sharing with others. :)
Nice, resteeming so I can come back when I have time.
Thanks a lot @tylersr
Thank you! Upvoted and resteeming!
Welcome and thanks for reading and resteeming.
Very important post for all steemians for fast development on Steemit.
Thank you for appreciation Irfan brother. I hope it benefits you.
Its really amazing and i am paying randowhale and i got good result from sending him 2 sbdand did you remember once i was asking for steem dollor 😂 i wanted to send it to randowhale haha
Good for you. Do checkout others too. Mixing things up a bit helps.
Thank you for this great info! Definitely gonna check them all out!
Glad to help. Please spread by resteeming.
Randowhale and booster are more a lottery than a tool for newbies.
Thanks for the information, I did not know about blueorgy and minnowbooster.
I agree. Randowhale and booster are rather more like a lottery. They can be profitable or you can have a loss. But over time, they remain profitable and if used when their power and SP is on peak, they can give good return.
Thanks, nice to see this compilation :)
You might want to change that @ randwhale in there.. Just that people send 2 sbd to the right account :)
Thanks for highlighting. I'll immediately do that.
Done. Thanks @marty-art for reading in such detail.
My pleasure :)
Thanks for all these advice. Indeed community will find it beneficial.
Thanks a lot.
you are welcome

Thank you @steemitqa . I am happy that I came across you today and followed you. Please support this post the way you can. A resteem would be a huge favor. Thank you.
Great post man every minnows start up guide!
Thank you @zeartul for your kind feedback.
great work
have u register on https://streemian.com/? Is it safe to give ur private key of steel on this site?
Very useful. Many thanks. I´ll try the services you mention. It´s hard work this learning process. But it will certainly be worth the effort.
Thanks for your feedback I hope your experience goes well. I find @booster to be a good one. Once you DIY, it won't be difficult anymore.
Great post for all Steemians.
I use @randowhale and @booster from time to time and will have a look to @blueorgy
I have used @booster twice and waiting for the third vote right now. It's been a good experience till now but market is all red so value of votes is down.
Dude awesome work. Thanks for sharing these
Very helpful. Thanks to you
Glad to help and welcome
Awesome tips for minnows (like me). Thank you. I believe i will try @randowhale first for a recent article.
Really awesome information here! I actually bookmarked it so that I can come back to read it whenever. Thanks! Upvoted but I'm a minnow so it doesn't really do much ( :
Thanks for your feedback. Your comment matters more than value of your upvote. It will be big some day. Keep working hard.
Спасибо за информацию
Great post, thanks.
Thank you for this great post with great resources. Even though it has been 6 months but it can still help newbies like me.
Thanks a lot. I designed this to help newbies and struggling minnows and I'd be happy if you learn from it.
great , thanks for sharing
nice Buddy
