IF you are a minnon/newbie then you might be looking for ways to give more exposure to your blogs and posts.
Well, thats not bad, everyone wants that their posts make good money. But there are few ways that are being adapted by steemit community.
Like, using bots to upvote your post. In this method, what you do is that you send some sbd to some whales and they in return give your percentage of their upvote.
Now i have been doing that and what i realized is that you end up loosing your sbd to these whales.
These whales are actually sharks who just eat your sbd and give you in return very little.
What happens is that if you are very careful and then select good timing for upvoting your post through these bots, even then, the profit would be something like this.
Using 10 SBD for upvote
Approximate calculations :-
Upvote post worth = $ 15
Curation reward = $ 3.75 (taken away from the post and also given to the bots for comments and upvotes )
Author reward = $ 11.25
Half sbd / Half steempower = $11.25 / 2 = $ 5.6 SBD and 1.7 steempower
After using 10 SBD you get around 5.6 SBD in return.
I have done these calculations after doing a lot of experiments. You can check for yourself.
These steemit whales wants more and more people to join steemit but at the same time they don't want you to grow or atleast don't let you grow. They'll just take your SBD and will give a drop or two for that.
yes you are right buddy...but the question is then what to do...if we do not send them sbd the how could we boost our post...? no other option...:(
That's a good question and i don't have the answer. Steemit is actually a community where rich is getting richer and poor is staying poor. and the difference is widening. just because of the lust of the whales, it seems the community is going towards a dead end. i had a few friends who joined here after i made them to join here but soon after wasting 3, 4 months and getting nothing they just stopped wasting their time here. I think the big reason why Steemit is not exploding is because it has become a profit making machine for some and thats why after wasting some time, the minnows just quit.
yes you are absolutly right..i too felt the same that the whales here are king and the newbies are just wasting their time to get the upvotes from the whales who doesnt even give a look on any newbies post...what i feel is if anyone wants to grow on this platform, he/she have to invest in it by buying steem power then after getting upvote power they can survive here..but its not easy to buy the steem power as its soo costly...

I'm trying a similar method, but with humans. I offer free SBD to people who help increase my exposure. I don't make more money than I spend, but part of the deal is that they have to follow me. I am gaining followers, helping them grown and hoping that I will benefit by posting decent information later on down the road that will make me money.
