RE: Dreaming of 'earning' a living just tossing about on steem..... or roll on $5 steem!
Looking at your numbers, you have been doing very well for last 7 days which skews the monthly amount, it could be because of a large bid not averaging out.
My goal is to have Around 10 SP(well steem + sp) per week per 1000 SP. That's around 40 per month. So For active (daily) bloggers expecting around 30-50 / 1000 per month is normal. If you have a lot of fans maybe double that. I've tried months doing nothing and 10~15 SP per 1000 per month is normal in those cases (vote selling enabled and some commenting / blogging activity). It would vary more depending on curation.
The above is at 50/50 rewards, but I eventually bid the rest in which gets around 5% more than just going 100% sp. I usually use the earnings to mess around with dapps, so I would probably be better off going 100% SP for rewards, but let's make things interesting ultimately it is good as long as people are abusing.
You also have a ratio of curation to author rewards of around X8 ~ X12 ....
I've been keeping track since end of January which was the last time I purchased steem and powered up (asides from bid power-ups which are constant). I'll share last week or Sunday 14 of 2019 with you:
Week 14: 7/4/2019
account value: $2,819.98 ~ This is according to steemit, I wouldn't sell my account for this much.
Total SP: 5567.1
Liquid: 1.7 STEEM | 1.84 SBD (SBD is X 0.40 or whatever dollar value of steem is, this is fine unless you keep hundreds)
Coming rewards: 146.6 (I just check incoming curation and author rewards on steem world, author rewards are double at 50/50)
= 5719.3 (+57.3 from previous week)
As you can see it was almost exactly at my target of 10 SP / 1000. I blogged every day of the week. I am happy with this amount. But it includes curation, too. My curation was better than 1 / 1000 sp (around 7 SP total), but probably 1 / 1000 sp if I didn't self-vote (lol). My goal is to get it to 1.5 / 1000 SP.
Wahay! Welcome to 'steem trackers united'!
You know I had never considered looking at my rewards per 1000 SP. That's something interesting I'm going to start doing. I don't sell my votes, but I do use @ocdb to buy them, which is what makes things complex working out what my actual earnings are - I had to rely on manually tracking back through my wallet as steemdb for some reason didn't record all the transfers for the last month. Then I just held the price of steem constant at current prices.
If yer buying steem with the SBBs and powering up, surely it doesn't make any difference whether you go 100% SP or 50/50 - I prefer the later as I'm finding more and more uses for liquid steem. (Most recently I need to put a contract out for someone on @drugwars).
So if I was earning at your rate, 10SP per week times 11K = 110/ week = 440 SP per month, = around $200 per month with steem @ $0.43 which is what I use above... very similar. I'd be impressed with 1.5/ month. Then I could survive off steem @ $3.5!
@cryptoandcoffee is something of a curation guru if you want to improve those rewards btw.... slow and steady is a great tip if you use auto voting I picked up from him.. i.e. just check and change timings for a few people in one go.
The skew is probably me using ocdb more in the last week, and I did have a nice (non ocdb) $10 upvote from someone in the last week.
Also a good time to buy in don't forget... unless you're waiting for the bottom?
Thanks for the comment, very valuable!
