As a curator it's very easy to make money on Steemit, and we already have all the tools we need to get started today. Just follow these few short steps:
1. Buy as much Steem Power as you can
Buy as much Steem Power as you can afford with STEEM or BTC or other altcoin, from an exchange. Go to your profile, then click the Wallet tab, then on Steep Power, and Deposit. A window will open that will show you how to buy. The more power you have, the more your curator activity will be rewarded, it multiplies all profits you make as curator. Also the Steem Power earns interest over time, so it's good to hold a lot of it.
2. Use this tool: http://steemups.com
That tool will show you the potential articles that can go viral. Just go and upvote all articles with the following attributes:
- Labeled as Medium or High
- More than 2 pictures
- More than 1000 characters
- Short title, many paragraphs and no typos
3. Comment on those articles
Comment on them, so that you may make money from the comments too!
4. Check your Rewards
Go to your profile, and click on the Rewards tab, select Curation Reward and you can see there how much money you made today and in this week.
That's all, the more accurately you vote the more money you make as curator, also make sure you have a lot of steem power too. A combination of good voting and a lot of steem power will make you tons of money!
steemup doesnt work anymore
the steemups.com link is not working
And if you don't have money to invest your screwed.
You can still earn by spotting the viral content, some earn up to 100$ that way. Then just reinvest that to buy more power until you reach a sizeable power share to earn stable profit as a curator.
No you can't. If you don't already have steem power and a whale votes on a thread you did your percentage goes to 0.000 immediately. The only way you get anything is if the vote at the exact right time and the thread makes only a few bucks. then you might get lucky and make .005. Would take years to get anywhere near $100.
Depending on how much SP you have. But if you vote first before whales vote, I was referring to that.
You need a lot of steem power to even get .001$% if a whale votes. There steem power knocks you out of the game even if you vote at the right time.
Damnit! Thank you for this post. It clears up what my gut was saying.
yea, the truth hurts. steem poverty is about the highest aspiration anyone can achieve except whales. dont stop the suckers trying though.
ok what if you contribute content and a whale votes on your content and you gain in Steem Power ? Surely the platform can reward quality over time, if you build the right following.
Hence the word "investment."
Good, i did'nt know about steemups site. Theres a way to filter by the new posts?
Sadly no, but you dont have to be the first person, just amongst the first. If it has 4-5 votes by the time you vote it, you can still earn money.
thanks good advise :)
good advice
Thanks for this post. It helps me a lot because I want to become a good and effective curator that is why I follow you. Learn from the expert method is useful for the neophytes.
thank you for the information that is very useful to us all @profitgenerator
that steemups link is broke tho!
the link doesn't work. So what exactly should I do to make money as curator?
I think the point is to make use of the platform first. Find like-minded users and become valued member of steemit. Then you can spend more time curating. ?
@profitgenerator .. This is an interesting post. Except for a little thing .. the http://SteemUps.com tool is now defunct!
Wish I had read this 2 years ago :)
great content and valuable information.
keep it up and help others.
thanks
I know this is a very late post, but how much Steem Power is recommended for those with low budget at the start? Thanks in advance!
