Wow... i love the contest.
Please more light if i want to invite or refer some steemit user about it.
I got resteem this.
Tell me more about "centerstage" and how vocalists will be "featured". :)
Sure! Here is a couple links to give you an example, this is @SoundLegion's exclusive, followed with the link to her winning entry post as well...
@Vocalists-Trail's winners feature post:
https://steemit.com/centerstage/@vocalists-trail/week-2-center-stage-feature-introducing-our-winner-soundlegion
@SoundLegion's Entry:
https://steemit.com/vocalists-trail/@soundlegion/vocalists-trail-center-stage-entry-post-california-singer-songwriter-shavon-bonnie-legion
OK, that's pretty cool. So Shavon got a nice fat $5 SBD upvote from @vocalists-trail on her entry post? And you created another post that featured a link to her entry post, and which re-presented her blog content, which also advertises the contest? That post made a lot more than her original entry post of just $6 SBD: it made $132.88! Did she get the SBD from that post too? :)
Yes! She created her own post to earn her own rewards, entered the contest, won the prize and then the following winning feature post by @Vocalists-Trail paid her 25% of post rewards.
Only 10 %? :/
Hi @limabeing
@SteemTrail is in charge of an array of different Trails on steemit.com.
Trails help communities grow one trail at a time, promoting many kinds of passions and the Steemit Community as a whole.
Admins share of post rewards are half of the SBD payouts. 50% is @Trail's.
Contest prizes are donated and paid by the sole sponsor and Head Admin of @Vocalists-Trail - @WishMaiden.
Remember @trail takes 50% of ALL SBD Rewards!
Perhaps if there were more sponsors for the contest, then the prizes would be higher! But for now it's just me, and I donate a share of my admin rewards to @Vocalists-Trail's contest prizes. I am sorry you feel put out by the amount I donate to winners.
Okay but, the artist did all the work. If you want to support artists? Why give them such a small cut? So lets say the post is "worth" 127 usd. After curation rewards (which the trail gets most of) you are left with split 92. Then after that you split again. 50% to this trail and 50 to you and the author. That leaves 46 usd . Then the author takes another split (im assuming more than half due to the number 10%)
And is left with what? 13 usd? That equates to about 7 sbd total on a platform where a post like that can be curated on its own and make all the rewards herself.
I'm not put out. I'm very much concerned that this predatory behavior will continue. We had this crap with record labeks and studios too! Just upvote the author and reap curation rewards. You do not deserver over 25 percent of author rewards for copypasting a ln awesome post filled with amazing work. Sorry. I dont think its your intention, but i hope that you consider how your practices are exploitative. I'm shocked a great artist and successful woman @soundlegion entertained this project. I'm not shocked it exists and I hope you hear what I'm saying and work with your ppl to make adjustments and actually give musicians a living wage on steemit.
Thanks for listening. Have a wonderful day!
It is currently 25%
My work is not just copying and pasting. I PROMOTE PEOPLE in many ways, not just on steemit, but in other networks and platforms to help drive even MORe traffic to the site. A lot of my rewards are spent and go towards exposure for @vocalists-trail. What do you want? I base prizes on what I can afford as I steemit is my only form of income. I am not rich. Most contests have sponsors who donate hundreds of STEEM to contests. So while I am busy trying to recruit new team members and sponsors I have to pay for everything. I am completely offended that my donations are not enough.
Prizes will increase as payouts do.
I have never had any complaints by anybody until now.
1 SBD is worth about $6.90 USD
So a prize of 5 SBD is worth about $35
25% of post SBD earnings is an adequate reward, given all the exposure and advertising is supported by an array of Trails and networks, giving exposure for not only your winning post, but also traffic to your steemit profile, increasing new followers!
...
PLUS 5 SBD winnings from the contest!
I am the ONLY SPONSOR of this contest. I DO NOT own @vocalists-trail.... As I explained above, it is owned by @trail and I am rewarded with half of the SBD that is earned, SP is not mine either. I am the sole curator and sponsor of @vocalists-trail and I have put A LOT of hard work into it over this past year, taking the time to curate, reply to comments and also run and personally sponsor all of the contests...
https://steemit.com/update/@vocalists-trail/just-to-let-you-know
I am the head curator, rep and sponsor for @Vocalists-Trail - which does not belong to me, it is a branch of @SteemTrail who help promote and support passions and the Steemit Community as a whole.
All SP saved on Vocalists-Trail is delegated to @Trail (run and owned by another party).
Admin rewards are half of the SBD post rewards and the other half of SBD rewards are @Trail's.
I am the only sponsor for @Vocalists-Trail, and I designate a share of my rewards to contest prizes.
ALSO
The fluctuating price of SBD and STEEM effect the value of prizes, for instance, 6 months ago posts paid a lot higher. So at this stage the prizes have been adjusted to reflect recent hike in SBD and STEEM value and appear less, but are actually quite similar to past USD value once converted.
6 months ago SBD was valued at approx. $1 USD each
But today it's valued at approx $7 USD each.
OK, this sounds pretty cool.
