Going Out For A Few Days? Get Paid & Make Your Votes Do "Good" Even While You're Gone!
I've just learned of a neat new way to have my upvotes voted while I'm away (like on a 3 day weekend or even vacation).
Its called "adding myself to a curation trail" and I can do it with ANY account that is set up with a curation trail. So guess what? I can earn money for myself and do "good" (even when I'm gone) with one very easy step! How cool is that???
The way it works
You sign up at https://steemauto.com (2 mins)
Once signed up, you find the account that you want to "trail their votes". (In my case I am trailing @newbieresteemday because I know they will cast responsible votes for newbies) ;)
Visual Steps
Goto Login/Register
Register By Entering In Your Info (hit register button when finished)
Get Code To Input Into Wallet (copy and paste the code)
Go To Your Wallet To Transfer A Message By Sending $0.001 SBD
Enter steemauto, $0.001, and your code (then submit transaction)
Go Back To https://steemauto.com and Log In... Then Click On "Curation Trail"
Then "Search" For A Trail (I use newbieresteemday) Note: don't use the "@" sign.
After Finding The Trail, Click "Follow" Note: default is 50%, need to adjust to 100% if you will be gone.
To Adjust How Much Of Your Vote To Trail, Go Back To "Curation Trail" (left menu bar) And Click It. The Following Page Will Appear - Click "Settings" To Change
Adjust Your Percentage Of Vote Allocated (use 100% if you will be gone)
Thats it!
Now you can go relax and have a great time, knowing your votes will be cast automatically in a way that you support! And you still get all the curation benefits too :)
Also EVERY VOTE COUNTS!... Even if you have little to no voting power, by using this method your votes will add up together and actually help the newbie that is voted on! So while it may look like you have no power, in reality you are contributing because your vote will definitely count!!!
That is cool! And I know because I was taught it by a great steemian named @coolguy123 who learned these "giving" ways from his membership in #stewardsofgondor! He is the creator of the #coolstewards program and delegator of 200 SP to get @newbieresteemday curation trail just launched!
psst... Here's A Secret: We Set Up A Curation Trail For "newbieresteemday"
Of course, we set up @newbieresteemday to be such an account. We have volunteers manning this account and voting only for newbies posting high quality material with a 45 Reputation Score or lower. And we will keep the voting power between 80 and 100% (NO OVERVOTING).
We would be honored if you set us up as your your designated voter and we promise to uphold our values of helping newbies and building a great community here on steemit!
Thanks for doing this @davemccoy, yes this detailed post was very much needed.
Thank you for mentioning me, happy to be part of #newbieresteemday.
Glad to see some positive responses.
I would urge users to help by resteeming this to make it reach more Steemians as well as join the curation trail as every small help (by joining curation trail and however small the VP provided) will be of great help for new joinees.
As usual, @coolguy123 is right!!! Resteeming this message is something that will help... So if you are reading this, then "re-steem" it! Lets let others know they can do this!!!
Steemauto is perfect for this:-) you have many more options when you are there, also use auto claim:-) is there any minimum % that newbieresteemday demands? I follow one curation with 1% can include one more with 1% . I use most of my vp since I’m pretty active:-)
For those of you who want to sign up with #steemauto its a smart idea. And remember not to over use your vp:-)
no of course we don't have any requirements... Any gift of your voting power is a gift... We are thankful for whatever anyone can do!
And yes... we have 3 members tr ained already @beeyou @mariespeaks @charisma777 who are handling the vote. They will keep our power between 80 and 100! And they will use the votes as described. The purpose is to help the newbies and give them a nice surprise when they have a good post!
Thanks for the comments Coach... and yes 1% is perfectly fine, we'd be honored! :)
Will setup this tomorrow:-) keep up the good job, and make the most of the days when you are away
yes exactly! I see some of my friends are gone all the time and they would love to get their votes counted and used in a positive way. I didn't know that even the small votes added up, but it does... that is aweseme!
And thank you for setting us up as a regulor too, that is awesome and very much appreciated too!
Hi @everydaycoach, thanks for the positive response. As @davemccoy responded, there is no fixed demand/requirement with regards to with regards to VP%.
Even a 1% vote from a person with reasonable SP will be of some value addition to the curation trail and final vote value from the trail.
And as @newbieresteemday account is a new one and doesn't have much SP, they are restricted to vote on some countable posts only and hence there is no chance of over use of VP of the users part of curation trail.
A resteem of this post will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much @davemccoy for this gem of information Brilliant one .
Thank you @sbyse :) I'm glad you liked it too... I think it is an awesome thing to know. Now people that think their votes don't count can have them count even when they aren't even online... And when they are active they can just move it to 1% or 0% and then always manage their "power" (even if its small, it all counts now) ;)
Great post !I love the fact that there are new ways to move forward and lean on steemit
Thank you @vanemilano! I love that too... I'm on day 52 now and still learning so many cool things and ways to do good all the time! Its really amazing how creative people can be!
That's great news! I got 3 people to sign up to Steemit this month. I will add this to my incentives list for sure. Great work Dave and all the helpers of @bieresteemday. Go Steemers!
thats awesome @sweetjoy about signing up 3 new members! That's something that will help you as you all can work together on things and support each other with learning new things. Make sure they know about the tag #newbieresteemday so that can help them with their posts too!
Its a good way that you can also trail each other too... Of course I like newbieresteemday, but you can also set it up for your friends too. The good thing is that all the people that vote will have their power added together to count to the person that is getting upvoted. It makes every vote truly count!!! :)
ps... you missed the "new" in #newbieresteemday lol ;)
Great idea. I will join today and tell others! Great work Dave! Keep it up! Joy
Awesome @sweetjoy! And you keep up the great work too :)

You're awesome, thank you again!

I knew you would be, you are a natural.. I remember you feeding me your friends and just good posts... You're doing well @annamighty ;)
Thank you sir😀
I av resteemed,will also tell my friends
you are fantastic and I'm so glad to see you at 43
I discovered SteemAuto a couple of days ago. At this moment I'm playing around with the settings of both the curation trail and the fan base to make sure they don't drain to much of my VP.
I felt lucky I found out about it now, because in a couple of days I'll be in France for a week. I simply love the fact that I will not have to worry about upvoting and earning while I'm away.
By the way, you can also use 'Fan Base' to automatically upvote any author(s) of which you know the posts make good money. You can set it to upvote after x minutes (this depends on how popular the author is) and decide on the % of SP too.
Good idea to set up a curation trail for 'newbieresteemday'. I'll look it up and follow it as soon as I've finished my new post.
you were the reason that made me think to do this post. When you said you'll be gone, I realized that happens to a lot of people (that have a real life) ;) ... And then I wanted to explain it to you in a simple way so you would do it... so thank you @simplymike!
And btw, I know that I saw a few messages from you a couple of days back, and I have been meaning to get back to them and say thank you for "being all in"! Sometimes I have so many things happening that I say to myself, I'll get back to it... and then it just keeps piling up. I don't forget what you said though, and I wanted to spend the time to give you a proper response... I am so happy that I met you and want to be your teammate here for a long time!!!
Have a nice trip! And thanks for sparking this post!
and ps... thanks for thinking of using us for one of your curation trails... and fyi, we won't overvote (we are well aware to stay in the 80s)... ;)
Thanks.
And no problem. i know what it’s like to have so many things to do - lol
It’s nice to have someone one can rely on. I think I can speak for many people if I say: thank you for that :0)
:) that's nice @simplymike!!! thank you!
I hope you have a wonderful trip to France!!! And don't forget to come back, I'll miss you ;)
i love the concept and will add 10% myself! And of course the tag-lifter supports this message because you used @newbieresteemday as your tag! =)
I am the "Tag-Lifter" and you have been resteemed because you tagged your post #newbieresteemday
(source)
You have been resteemed as part of #newbieresteemday ... I made today my #newbieresteemday, and invite you and others to do the same. To learn more: Come Join Us!!! (Newbie Resteem Initiative)
thank you very much for the trail! :)
always great to be resteemed by the tag-lifter lol ... and glad to see your example! :)
I've not used this part of steem auto yet. Thanks for the great step by step directions. I have made a note of the URL so I can refer back when I need it.
yes... if you are familiar with steemauto then you are ready to go anytime you want. If you are gone you can find any curation trail to follow to meet your own tastes and needs! I really love the fact that is is doable!
One question that comes to mind @davemccoy . . . you knew what trail you wanted to follow but if we don't, how would we go about choosing a trail? 😊
that's a good question @gillianpearce... I know they list all the trails and how many people are following them. I think you can go through them and figure out what their purpose is by either they're name, their blog page, or by simply messaging them. I know what we are doing, so if someone would ask me, I would definitely give them and answer.
btw you can follow 100 trails if you wanted to... I don't think there is a limit. ;)
Thanks for the extra info @davemccoy. I've made a note. 😊
let me know if you find a place that aggregates this info!!!
Will do @davemccoy. 😍
Thx for the heads up on that. I'll be using that down road.
You're welcome @sminchow! Its a great tool and something people at our level don't know much about. I'm very glad @coolguy123 showed us how it worked because I will never let my vote sit idle again! have a great day @sminchow :)
