I'll pay 10 SBD to whoever posts the link to the highest payout on a post! The deadline is 7 days from now!
While doing research for another article I came across this piece of Steemit history:
THE FIRST STEEMIT MAKEUP TUTORIAL- bringing Youtubers to Steemit!! Tara is back!
This post by @guerrint paid out a staggering $33,543.06! Despite the fact that @guerring had another post that paid out $17,032.71 and several others that topped the $1,000 mark @guerrint has since powered down almost her entire account and has shown zero activity on Steemit as of 9 months ago!
From looking at her account and that of her partnered account @steempowertwins it seems that there was a lot of drama and some intrigue concerning her exit.
All of this begs the question:
What is The All Time Highest Payout Ever on a Steemit Post?
Please post the highest payout that you can find in the comments below and let's have some fun looking back at history!
What do You Think?
- Are you amazed when you see the unbelievable payouts in the early days?
- Do you think that those high figures made Steemit seem unsustainable?
- Have you ever experienced a mega payout?
I hope that you enjoyed this post concerning: "What is The All Time Highest Payout on a Steemit Post? "
Until next time,
@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
Come on man. This was an easy search!!
https://steemit.com/steemit/@survivalist.com/steemit-33-top-earning-posts-of-all-time-smd-usd445-626-82
Interesting and "easy" find. Strange because some of the data in that post seems to be wrong and or incomplete. A good find nonetheless but @stefen found the top post first.
Lol, I agree. What I meant was, it was an easy search for anybody to have found the top paying posts. The next contest/question could be a little more difficult to search. What do you think?
Yes it is is easy to find since there is everything is there on steemdb.com. But sometimes it feels amazing knowing these statistics and gives us the boost to work more to get more. I agree it's not a difficult contest but it's an interesting one for sure. I appreciate @kus-knee for that :-)
i came across with this post ,
https://steemit.com/steem/@teamsteem/some-steem-stats
but i know there are post's that earned more than this.
Cheers!
An interesting and historical article, thanks!
Pretty weird stuff...looks like the Old Dog is sniffing out a new case...;)
That is my strongest sense but at times it's a curse!
this is amazing, I never knew that you made so much money on the platform, this is great information, really amazing.
It is incredible that with such success has never used the platform. incomprehensible.
thank you very much for sharing this information dear friend @ kus-knee
I wish you a great day
Hey @kus-knee! I don't know what the highest payout ever was -- probably the one you mention above.
I remember when that happened! It was a crazy time for Steemit. People were raking in thousands per post and hundreds for comments. I really wish I could have gotten some portion of that, but I wasn't set up at the time for it. :/
Maybe there'll be another Renaissance like that or bigger. Probably not, but maybe. But I'm thinking that it's more realistic that people make a few bucks per post on average if they've got a decent following going, and for the whales maybe a few hundred at the high end. That's way more sustainable than people making a yearly wage in a single post... I mean, c'mon!
@shayne
Yes it was more of an anomaly and most certifiably not sustainable! Still it's part of our history and fun to look at. We have our own pizza for bitcoin type of story!
For sure! And this is one that I was actually around for :D
My post of my daughter making a steemfest art festival entry?
Hahah I'm sure that it was a good one and maybe your highest paying but $33,000 is tough to beat.
I think so... but I have 6 days to go ;-)
5 days to go and I still believe my post is going to make it... would you vote for me as witness? I see you have votes left.. And did you see my daughters work going to steemfest?
Here you go, Most all time highest paid steemit post ever $46,973 payout-> https://steemit.com/piston/@xeroc/piston-web-first-open-source-steem-gui---searching-for-alpha-testers
that is crazy :-)
Yeah, I can buy a villa with that money in my country.
Really crazy!
Wow, that's impressive! $43,973.86 will be tough to beat! You're in the lead!
I think that is the highest I just finished doing a post about this and something else I found that was very very strange!!
https://steemit.com/steemit/@nba05/wierd-and-strange-steem-mysteries-highest-earning-post-and-oldest-post-ever
Interesting!
Thanks hahaha :-)
As i have mentioned It's $46,973 brother :-). Which is all time highest amount paid for a crycptocurrency post. Not $43,973.
This is brutal...
A payout like that can change a lot of things!
Yes, well those days are over. The other cool thing here is the internal market with the Steemgigs etc....
Whatever was the highest payout I know one thing. The post did not come from me LOL Thanks for sharing.
A dripping faucet will eventually fill a bucket to overflowing. Steady as she goes!
I will try to find the highest post payout ever!!!
I saw your research post. Well done! Maybe you should become a detective!
Ha ha ha 😂😂!!
Ask the same question 5 years from now and you might get very different answers.
At least potentially, SMT's could be a game changer.
Very exciting times, no doubt!
Total was 150$ after curation cut I got 115$.
Great result. Good for you!
This is really crazy stuff rewarding someone like that. I don't think it is fair for the rest of the community doing same or more much better work, if you understand what i mean!
But this is impossible to see nowadays, due to the increased amount of users.
My highest one was $110 some 3 months back and still trying to get to that mark again!
Yes I get what you mean. Still $110 is great for you! Congrats! Let's keep having fun and see whee it leads us!
damm to be honest that much highest payout never seen i guess the high i have ever seen on a post is nearly 4K$ and that too the maximum this is really insane on the other hand the payouts are unsustainable as its directly related to the market wise fluctuation i have seen too while using steemit.
only once experienced a mega payout ;p hahah what a day that was :D
Yes there have certainly been some crazy days here. The key is to be consistent!
Interesting question (because I dunno the answer to it 😜. Following this!).
BTW, I'd also like to know the highest paid post in terms of their USD value at the time of post payout.
Yes all of these stats form the early days are fun to look at.
Cool read.. not just your post but the comments .. insane that posts can generate such whopping amounts of money o.O
shows so much potential,, must becoming harder and harder though to generate such numbers and exposure.
Those payouts were at the very beginning. It is highly unlikely that we will ever see that again. The thing now is to stack Steem and if the price goes up......we're laughing!
haha perhaps yeah.. are we not too late to the party if you want to get rich of this platform? .. I tbh just see it as a more friendly and supportive social media platform than the current ones.. i hope it doesn't change for the worse tbh.. :O
But the fact that theres not really 1 person turning the dials to show us A or B or have us do something.. will help :)
All I know is that I was happy to catch the craziness right towards the end with my post that earned $5200. What was even crazier was the inflation rate that was earning me hundreds of Steem daily for a few weeks. Now that was spectacular.
Wow great to read that you had that experience. I would say that you made your own luck!
I also think that one from @xeroc is the number one https://steemit.com/piston/@xeroc/piston-web-first-open-source-steem-gui---searching-for-alpha-testers
I remember this one guy the community helped some months ago to pay his surgery in Asia - can't remember the name anymore it was a post in the 20,000 area minimum though
Yes the man, @darthvana in the Phillipines. Another pivotal point in Steemit history! Amazing!
Yeah, I was on steemit for that. That is the most prime example of the revolving door that is steemit, regardless of the success. Sad, but true. Luckily there are plenty of others that do hang around.
A lot left when Steem went down to about 7 cents I believe. I kept blogging and having fun and it has served me well.
this ridiculous payout just was some marketing gag.
lets be honest no single post is worth 10.000 dollars. I hardly believe there are some for 1000 dollars.
Maybe if you find the formula to cure cancer or proof that we are not alone.
Good points. Those were the crazy early days!
I personally have never had a post even come close to that and I'm hoping to break $10 one of these days so those numbers are truly staggering!! I guess back in the day things where a bit different and it allowed for some simply ridiculous payouts to be had. Man I wish I was around.
I'm excited to see the answers you receive for this as I thought $15,000 was the all time high if I had to guess off the top of my head. Good luck guys, and I hope everyone gets to experience that type of payout at some point in their Steemit lives. Cheers guys!
Yes, those payouts were clearly not sustainable as things scaled. Steady as she goes is the new mantra! Basketball fan?
Absolutely!! Huge sixers fan and it's been a rough few years but we are on the way out now. Knicks fan yourself, eh?
Wowww that's crazy! The biggest payout i saw here was 1500$. It's like a jackpot on here:D.
You shocked me with your post 😨😨😵😵😵
That's good to know because I shocked myself!
So she was a make up artist??? I finished courses as well and worked for 4 years as MUA. Maybe i should post my works too and then i will get 33,543$ too? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good plan!
OMG in SA that is like winning a lottery!
Yes what or where is SA?
Oh sorry, South Africa :)
I've never been able to break the $1000 mark but my highest paid article landed on $986 or something like that, so it was pretty close!
That was last year, my first of second month on Steemit. - It took me 10 months to reach another $100 post shortly after that one and since then, I have an average of ~$5 or so if I use upvote bots like randowhale etc. I've obviously been more lucky and reached $15, $20 and $30+ too a couple of times, but I'd say that the average rewards is around $5. Perhaps $7.
I remember the makeup tutorial. I thought it was insane and I still believe it's crazy to upvote something that much... But it also brought tons of people to Steemit.
The sad part is, that Steemit still gets new users joining because of all the "earn money" advertising and I think that's a double-edged sword which brings people to Steemit for the wrong reasons.
Good comment and thanks for chiming in. I also had one post over $1,000 but only because I was on Steemit in the very early days. You are are correct about motives and I think that money need to be a secondary thought in order to be happy and succeed here.
To be rewarded is amazing, fantastic and wonderful in all means. It can even change a persons life entirely, in one way or another. We've seen it happen multiple times.
However, one cannot bring people to Steemit for the money. You can't advertise Steemit and tell people that they will earn tons of money or show screenshots of highly rewarded articles from the past and things like that. That makes the entire advertising campaign false in some sense. - Perhaps not false but at least incorrect.
It is a possibility but there's no truth at all behind claiming people to become rich and wealthy if they publish content on Steemit.. And I've seen such false statements on many places.
This is what brings the so-called "takers" to Steemit and we want givers.
Vedo molte cose...molte cose strane....meglio non indagare....
You're right. But remember in those days there were perhaps only several hundred Steemers! Still it's a fun part of our history!
Amazing, what a money involved ....
Strange but true!
I can tell what the highest payout is but i know someday i rank top 10 God helping me plus some effort from my own end.
Top 10 would be a magnificent result!
I'm not sure if the best posts have the most payout. It depends on how many whale friends he/she has. But I think we have to strive for the best quality we can. I'm much better in pictures than writing. Yesterday I had a "mega" payout as a happy surprise, more than 80 dollars, but I don't know why I deserved it :))) Of course I was very happy.
Great to read about your nice reward!
Thanks
OK, top is found but here are the
top 10:
Great list, thanks. Some of them need an article "Where Are They Now?" written about them!
The sad fact is I brought over 2 guys in particular from Youtube that both ended up with posts over $100. Both have abandoned the platform. I mean what more can people want??? I for one dont get it...
That is strange. I guess that blogging is not for everyone!
I didn't search . I just scrolled the comments here and other users have already done it for us. I am lazy one. :)
Anyhow, 5 figure payout in single post? how is that possible?
You did well to scroll down. Yes how was that possible. Fewer members and $10 Steem!
Wow! I cannot even imagine it lol. I was not fortunate enough to be an early adopter, so those kinds of payouts were long gone when I came. It must've been similar to the gold rush back then LOL
Yes, similar to the gold rush. You're right about that!
I do not often get high payouts in steemit
this is all I have $21.000 :)
https://steemit.com/art/@zikra/galaxy-logo-design-from-face-papapepper
These days we are content with much less. Slow and steady remembering that it really is still early days!
That is awesome. I think different hard forks have affected the payouts here a lot.
The pool of funds needs to be shared among 100's of thousands of accounts these days.
Yes buddy this may be the reason also. You guessed it very right.
Hi @kus-knee, The post was done last year and it earned $46,973.86.
Why asking? Are you planning to break this record? :)
Haha I don't think that those payouts will ever come again!
So, you don't believe Steem will hit $5000 mark? 1 Steem=1 Bitcoin=$5000
If that would happen I'll buy you your dream home!
OMG seriously? $33,543.06 ? Even if I get 0.1% of it in one of my posts, then I am the happiest person on earth.
She's no longer here so in the grander scheme of things you have a chance to do better than her!
Hey @kus-knee
Wonderful post my dear friend....
I really like "the old dog's" posts...
Upvoted....
Cheers~~~~~~
Thanks!
Oh my gosh, those are crazy amounts! Wish I was here in the early days :D
I don't think my payouts have ever even hit the $100 mark. It's low all around lately, but I guess that's partially to do with the Steem price. To be honest, my work for Curie lately has been the most profitable for me since the day I started here :-)
Slow and steady wins the race! I think that you're doing great and you always have my vote!
That is very sweet of you mister Old Dog :D
It's nice to post here either way, so I'll continue doing so! Curie'll just be my main source of income now, which I'm very grateful for :-)
500000000000000000000000000
That's a lot!
$10.08
Good luck! Kus knee
Thanks!
wow nice, thanks for sharing...^_^

The early days were really crazy! I can't believe what people got paid for what was seemingly nothing. Or at least "not very much."
If we remove "early days," what's left behind? If we just look at 2017, I'm going to guess @darthnava's "health appeal" from a few months back, which ignited the community and made it to $17,000+
