Finding ways to see your post's payout increase without contributing to "bid-bots" can be a hard task, but not impossible. This series is to target those who still wish to go the good old organic way and get payouts through other means than bidding on bots. I will research any means possible through these episodes to optimize a posts payout without having to gamble your precious steem on bidding
Why do I embrace the idea of fully organically posts?
It gets harder and harder to differentiate what the community thinks is a good post and what the authors thinks is a good post. Everyone can look at their work and say "Yeah, that should at least be 100 dollars". By promoting other opportunities for people to take different paths it is my hope to move people away from this market and start growing their account and posts in an organic and healthy way for the platform. While I do believe promotions has its uses for special scenarios, it is far from necessary for the average steemian
Without further a due let's proceed to the real part of the article, In each article, I will go into depth about 1 new opportunity to find extra payouts as an organic author!
This episode: Busy.org
For many, this might not be any big flash news, but for new people that are mainly using steemit.com for their place to post this is a hidden gem you HAVE to know about. You can really get some great benefits If you start blogging from Busy instead of Steemit. Not only is the website so much better to be blogging from and using for daily usage. But it is also handing out votes to your posts! Win/win as one would say!
How to get a @busy.pay vote
It is super easy and probably one of the best habits you can do for yourself and start to post from busy.org.
All you have to do is to
1.Post from busy.org
2.Use the tag "busy"
The rate of upvote is calculated on the basis of steempowers and the vest of your followers: the higher the number is the higher the percentage of the vote you will receive from @busy.pay
Also, the website is actually really neat and easy to use. While I do prefer steempeak for actual usage, busy is still far better than Steemit.com. So I suggest you go and check out and see if either busy.org on steempeak.com would be better for you. Just remember, posting from busy.org gives you that extra upvote! My personal strategy is I write and use steempeak but are posting from busy.org for the vote. A bit dirty to do, I know, but we gotta do what we gotta do to survive! Espcially when you are not using bid-bots.
Busy.org is something that can be super helpful for new users just starting out, especially if you like to put some extra work into your articles. If you don't already know about this great opportunity, you should check it out!
Nonetheless, a great way to boost your posts Organically
I use the busy interface sometimes but mostly use esteem surfer now. I don't know how the busy people calculate the vote weight either. When I have used them its been very low. Any clues?
I actually was not aware of this. Usually for me, their vote weight equals about 0.40 cents witch is decent. Do you experience it to be lower? Maybe I should look into that!
EDIT:. The rate of upvote is calculated on the basis of steempowers and the vest of your followers: the higher the number is the higher the percentage of the vote also. This seems to be the reason and I will add it to the post!

Its so rare that I use busy I cant remember. eSteem surfer is more rewarding but you don't always get a vote. It seems to be a given using busy though.
Never used eSteem surfer but I'm gonna look it up! Maybe it would be a good one to include in a episode!
Its a very valid addition, you need to download the client as its not web based.
That's pretty good advice.. I've never even looked at Busy.. it's basically like posting on Steemit? Is it articles only or could one post videos too? Like I do for my morning bowl?
Hey man! It's just like posting on steemit but with a better and faster interface! I'm not sure about videos. I think you can link them but not upload directly. (like upload to YouTube and then put it in the post) that should be possible but never tried :)

Thanks for sharing with us this great tip which I have seen few people using the busy tag but didn't really know anything about it.
Have a great day @holm

Great tips @holm sir.next time I will use tag" busy"..
One question sir that how to use busy.org on my post..I don't know much so I asking you.
You have to go to busy. org and login, you login with the same account you use to login into steemit. Usually when it asks you to login it will. direct you to "steemconnect" don't be afraid of that, it's normal on steem related sites :)
Thanks sir for guidance
I've checked out steempeak and busy and I'm not really a fan of either. I tend to use steemit on my phone and maybe I got too used to it. I'll give steempeak another try but I don't know how much my opinion will change.
Are you using an android phone? maybe check out partiko? I find it super handy for android phones!:)
Using busy for the start and it really helps for everyone no matter of the reputation :)
Yeah it is a good help for anybody that's for sure :)
