Last week I received 250SP from Taraz. I was pretty new to Steemit and only had 6SP in total to my name. Needless to say, these 250SP were an incredible gift and totally unexpected. I started thinking about how I would want to spend them.
I tried to use my SP to give some more value to the people who took their time to comment on my articles. I also focused on the quality of my posts. The day after the delegation, I posted an article about the lessons poker thaught me. It got resteemed by ocd and one day later the article suddenly was worth 40SBD and 12SP, twice more than I had in total. The same day I wrote an article in Dutch about "the pain of our society" which caught eyes of OCD-international and got featured in their daily article. That blogpost is now worth 10SBD and 3SP.
So in a few days I was able to more than double my SP and collect +- 40 SBD after curations awards. I also gained some new followers which is of course very nice as well.
Maybe all these things aren't immediately related to the SP-delegation, but I believe it had a part in it. I hope to further increase my total SP in the coming weeks. It feels good to give back a little more value to the people who deserve it in my eyes. It's nice to give 6c-votes and encourage the new Steemians who make quality-content. So thanks for that opportunity, Taraz!
Keep up the good work!
That is great news!
@ocd is an excellent curation project and they do a good job of getting around and spreading their value. What many people don't realise is that it is a privately supported project started by @acidyo and gets helped by a few whales along the way who either support directly or through delegation to some of the curators like @anomadsoul. I know many of the curators too and they work hard to find a whole range of articles each day. For small accounts looking for curation rewards or resteems on decent content, check out @ocd too.
Now, yes, it is not attributable to my delegation but, if you think in another way often the feeling of being invested makes one work harder than one who feel disenfranchised or disengaged. Attitude matters.
Thanks @tuwore
