HOW TO SET UP AN AUTO VOTE BOT | Save time by automatically giving chosen people an up-vote!

I have been hearing people talking about about their "auto-voter" or "upvote bot" and had various discussions about the morality of whether we should be using bots and responsible allocation of steempower. While there are valid arguments both for and against, ultimately, most people lead busy lives and we cannot sit on Steem all day upvoting. So this is where the benefit of the autovote bot comes in.

I didn't actively look for one for quite a while as I thought an autovoter bot would be some kind of code or script that would need to be "run" and would be quite complicated to set up. But alas its 2017 and some lovely person has created one with a browser based front end that make that much easier for people like myself who avoid that stuff where possible.

Jerrybanfield has also put me on his autovote bot which is awesome thanks @jerrybanfield. I will show you how to add people to your autovoter and save some time back out of your day!

Go to https://steemvoter.com/

Click "Rules"

Add the Steem account name in the top left box you want to automatically give your upvote to when they post.

You can then also edit your vote power percentage. You will know what this is if your upvote is worth over a certain amount, you get a slider from 0-100% to choose how much upvote power to use on that post. Keep in mind that everytime you give a vote your power for that day depletes by an amount. You may want to only give out 6-10 X full power upvotes per day or 12 - 20 X 50% votes and so on.. You get the idea.

I currently have 8 people on my auto upvote and my vote power usually stays above 90% +

You will then also want to choose the amount of time after the person posts for the bot to upvote. This is important as 30 minutes after posting is the prime time for getting the best rewards, however you get higher rewards the earlier you get your vote in, especially if the person usually gets a lot of activity on their posts. I go for 25 minutes to ensure Im in early.

If you want more info on your voting power, you can go to https://www.steemnow.com/ and enter your username to see things like;

• The value of your vote at different percentages
• Your daily curation rewards
• Your daily author rewards

I hope this post helps you regain some time back in your day. If it helped you and provided you value in teaching you something you didn't know, please give me an upvote, of if your really feeling the love, put me on your autovoter!
