Earned $3000 in 4 days just for holding steem power, and $500 for blogging... niiiice :)

in #steempower8 years ago (edited)

It's Saturday morning July 23 and my wallet has 16,000 steem power, on Tuesday morning I had 15,000 steem power. I blogged about 10 times per day this week (too much, but got carried away having so much fun), earning an average of $2 per blog post, except for 1 blog post that earned $250, and generated 140 steem power on payout.

So this week I earned 840 steem in 4 days just for holding steem power, and 160 steem for blogging and curating. At $3.50 per steem that's $3500 in 4 days for having fun, that's GREAT. I should do an update like this every 4 to 5 days. It's a good motivator for anyone thinking about upgrading their steem power to earn money just for holding it.

I just got my first "mars-eve hustle" hit this morning too, and I can say yes, that felt great. I definitely went to check out that blog post and upvoted and commented on it, so feel free to hit me with your own hustle and I will do the same for you, but I will only upvote and comment if I like your blog post, most likely I will tho, cause it takes confidence to do a "mars-eve hustle", and that much confidence is usually tied to a great blog post. This coming week I want to scale back my blogging to less than 6 times per day... have fun :)

Why don't you share the love with some upvotes!

just because you said so

Love returned, though my upvote is less valuable then yours. I've been voting on your content the whole time though, its good! Keep it up man.

but then your vote is going up in value , and all votes are worth having... I am right ? I am getting used to this slowly I think.. :)

Your vote goes up in value only when you have more steem power. And it takes quite a bit for your vote to have any value at all aside letting others know you liked the post.

I blog for the fun of it too. I like to try to raise a smile. This is why I try to be a bit creative with my titles . "I'm a stripper in my spare time" don't you know :p

you go novagirl, I got mad love for the stripper in you

Hey Craig, a mars-eve could be considered paid marketing without an ad agency as a middle person. It can also be used to double reward people who have made a contribution I think is valuable. Especially when the creative person has non mainstream posts. See my Power of Minnows post. I for one have enjoyed your posts/videos. I think you add value to the steem community. I have read many of your posts. Thank you!

Vote with your steem dollars.

thank you very much for the 1 SD you sent me, your ideas are amazing, and I can see you will go a very long way in a short period of time, just keep doing your thing :)

(I'm a millionaire billionaire status because I own my time) I love this sh** Craig get you some man. :D

Awesome Craig, glad to see it working out for you. Holding Steem Power makes a lot of money, but it's not as fun blogging and posting. :)

That's really awesome mate!! Thanks for sharing. Motivation for the rest of us :)

I watch pretty much every single vid you upload bro. Cheers for being my Steemit teacher haha :) I recommend your stuff whenever people ask me about how steemit works.

thank you very much, I appreciate your time :)

That really cool man congratulations. The potential here is amazing i'm glad i am a part of this revolution. ill be up there with you soon enough.

Good job!
With the current interest rate, and frequent posting good posts, will get you in the top 250 SP Holder club really soon. You are almost in:

Nice to see all those social hustles evolving here. Thanks for sharing.

very nice indeed :)

Nice Bro!!! I think that you updating your info, gives people more motivation to earn more...Definitely for me! Crypto Is the "new" way to save cause it gives you more incentive to hold than traditional banking...Thanks for taking the time to share my man:)

Impressive. I bet you are on cloud 9 right now... :) I think that the mix of steem power and blogging is the best combination rather than one or the other. Hold on tight and enjoy your future on steemit. I would like one day to be in that situation and inspire others too .. well done :) ps how do you hussle that way? rather confused.. and too new to this oops...

you will figure it out, that's why it's a hustle :)

haha I hope so and I am sure I will... and when I do i will be back to hussle You :) then I can show you I learnt how to hussle... now goes on a hunt to find out how to hussle in the land of steem.... :)
So This i must ask... how long did it take you to start really working steem out? Ive been here bout 5 days now I guess... and things are slowly dropping into place.. :)

mars-eve is an internal joke for something that happened in the flow of this video.. enjoy :)

I love your posts Craig but you're wrong on this one. You didn't earn $3500 in a week until its converted to BTC or USD!

According to your scenario, if STEEM drops to low $1 (which as a trader you know that will most likely happen with STEEM in the short term), does that mean you will have lost $thousands that week? No! It's all just digits on a screen until it's safely out of the platform and in cold storage or on paper in your hand ;)

so when it drops to $1, and you and hoards of other steemers buy some cheap steem, it will sky rocket to $4.50, and then I will be happy I never put it in the bank, where I don't need it

Did you get those 3000 USD in your bank account ? If not then you haven't earned any dollar yet, just potentially earned something.

I have no use for it being in my bank account, I keep all my money in bitcoin, and I already have enough bitcoin, so the $3000 only has use for me as steem power to grow daily

So you didn't earn anything, because your initial post is a bit unclear, saying you earned 3K USD.
Some people are being misguided, thinking that people like you actually did earn 3 000 USD in their bank account, when in reality, nobody is getting USDs but Steem Power that you can't resell before 2 years and that will be worth next to 0 by then.

this system is more about having fun than earning money, the potential to earn money is just a bonus

I agree, it's fun. But i can see some people quitting their real job to steemit full time. Believing that they can make a quick buck posting useless stuff.

ok, you're right, I'm just a lousy scammer, you got me :)

It's fine, this is how the system is designed, to let people think that they are going to be rich to drag other people into the system to believe it too. While the big players cash out real cash to buy real stuff.

my last job was in 1999, that's how much money I have :)

If you need the money then why didn't you cash out ?

I would tell that person to earn enough money to live off for at least 6 months and have it the bank before quitting that job to do steemit full time. With enough steem power and time to blog, someone could do very well as a blogger on steemit

Cool! Continue in the same spirit.
Круто! Продолжайте в том же духе.

Cool.. Share some upvotes with me too. You will be bless. :)

that's great news Craig, well done!! keep blogging and sharing the power?!!

Interesting post. It's definitely a good motivator.
I'm curious, have you got to this point by just posting content or have you invested money of your own to get you off the ground?

Either way, here's an up vote from me.

most of my steem power was purchased or earned when steem was $0.29 cents per steem

Ahh cool. So jealous of the early adopters.
How about you share the wealth and throw me an up vote or 2 back? :D I spent ages making that GIF.

All of the clocks in the movie 'Pulp Fiction' are stuck at 4:20.

Ah, Movie trivia. Upvoted.

You cannot kill yourself by holding your breath.

The day I will woke up with a profit higher than 100 S$ I will give away half, that's for sure, until that day i will keep rocking on steemit with my tech news/tips and tricks. P.S: well done mate!

Motivation comes from within, I think it's great documenting for your own personal well being:) Sh.. forget what I think anyway lmao show us all the $$$ you make and have it might inspire someone it might make me compromise after long enough muhahah!

Way to go Craig! Your the man!

Well done you. I'm new haven't started writing yet as still learning, hoping to post my introduction today

I hope I also have a surprise one day when I woke up!
GG
