I Made $230 In 7 Days Just From Posting Comments On STEEM. You Can Too!!!! 👍👍👍
"I can't make any money here."
"The system is rigged."
"The Whales only circle vote."
"Nobody reads my stuff so I can't make any money."
Have you uttered these words? Did you say (think) them recently?
If so, then you might want to pay attention.
Two weeks ago, I decided to do an exercise. This was informal and I announced it to nobody since I did not want any interference. I always tell newer people that the key to success on the STEEM blockchain is to comment. However, I always did this without any accurate numbers.
The project started Sun 2/4 and ran through Sat 2/10. During this time, I did nothing except post like I normally do.
From Sun 2/11-Sat 2/17, I recorded all the payments that came in from my comments.
On Sunday 2/18, I tallied the SBD and SP, converted the SBD (for number purposes) using the SBD/SP rate posted on steemit.supply by @dragosroua and the price quoted on there.
There were two rules:
A. Post like I normally do which was verified by @abh12345's weekly report for @fulltimegeek's SOG report of roughly 100K words posted.
B. I was not allowed to upvote one single comment during that time so my SP had no effect.
A couple advantages that might exist:
A. My Rep is 66...personally, when I upvote comments, rep means nothing to me but some might give preferential treatment to higher reps.
B. I am on here almost 6 months meaning I do have relationship with some people from our interaction in the past. That said, there were a few votes I know I received from a couple heavy hitters that I never interacted with before.
I bring this up just to state it might be an advantage I have that a newer person does not.
Nevertheless, this is what occurred.
Over the 7 days, I earned 35.958 SBD and 9.020 SP.
Converting the SBD at the rate of 1.228 netted me 44.156 SP.
When added to the 9.020 SP, this brings my total to 53.176 SP.
At the time I ran the numbers, STEEM was priced at $4.35 for a total of $231.58.
I did this exercise to quantify what commenting can do. Anyone with under 500 SP should be using this approach. Even if you do not get 50 SP in a week, earning 25 should not be difficult. Quality comments receive upvotes from Whales, Orcas and Dolphins. Concentrating on this means you will not be posting the lame excuses I started this article with which, as shown by these numbers, are totally false.
Over the course of a year, using this payout, one will earn over $12,000 USD simply for posting comments. Of course, the naysayers will cite the fact that I have relationships with some of the people who voted for me, hence most will not get $231 from commenting right away.
Fair enough.
One thing I will guarantee is that if one posts comments like I did, that person will earn at least half of what I did. Plus, using this approach for 3-4 weeks will establish a lot of strong relationships. There is no reason why someone cannot be at this level within a month of getting started.
So there you have it. Based upon these numbers, there are 50 SP a week in the comment section just waiting for you.
Now you know the secret.

No doubt about it. Meaningful comments that add value are rewarded. And just about all you need to do that is be a real person!
Hehe :) . My first meaningful sbds were from comments. One upvote gave me 0.65 sbd, i couldn't believe my eyes cos then my posts were getting little less than 0.14 , and still do as at now.
But then one just have to keep at it. The comments section allows for interaxtion with people already in the system
Lady luck favors the one who tries. Law of serendipity. I am not lady luck but I gave you a considerable vote for trying.
Lady luck sure swung my way , hehehe :D. More screen grabs. This would be impossible without @taskmaster4450 . I thank you all for making my week.
Yes and you get hit up once in a while as @thing-2 just did....
Nice upvote there....
See, put up a comment and you never know what happens.
2.77 sbd . Woah, this is just great. I should screen grab this for a future testimony
Now up to $3.21
That is a better screen shot.
You will enjoy that especially if the SBD/SP split widens over the next week....
A nice payout for you.
Haha, am smiling from ear to ear. :)
Inspired by your post, I added some love as well.
Good luck appriciated..
Right
For those who's native language is not English it's much harder to do quality comment.
I'm for example can easily read English, but to give a substantial, smooth comment is much harder ((
Nonetheless, your point is valid for many.
Looks like another excuse ;-)
Comment, and you're going to win twice!
You'll get some $$$, and your new friend - google translate - will help you to improve your English ;-D
Well I'm six points lower than you in rep score and I got above $0.60 on one of my comments yesterday and that happens fairly often when I leave a well worded, meaningful response to the person's post or add something of value to it. Even when my rep score was lower and I was new I would sometimes get payouts over a dollar on comments back when STEEM was well below where it is now. SO I can definitely agree that commenting is a good way to earn but also to gain attention from the right people if you do it correctly (more than just a few words in the comment).
I've been earning pretty decent money this way since my first month here and some days I earned more commenting than authoring. And of course if you leave a good comment then that person is somewhat likely to go check out your profile...
I think that just goes to show that most people who upvote comments do not pay a whole lot of attention to rep score.
If the comment is something that intrigues people and adds to the conversation/post, they will upvote it.
Thank you for adding perspective and your experience in commenting @cryptokeepr, I'm new to Steemit and it helps to hear someone else confirm the content in the post
That's true. I have slept over the night and woke up to see people's signature on on blog. When I check out, there are people I leave comments on their post.
NEW Exchange! Opens in a few days! The next Binance! http://upcoin.com/?ID=ce32d476
Another benefit is gaining quite a bit more followers. I have not done any study, but I am pretty sure that commenting gains me a ton more followers than posting articles on my own blog. I also tend to find more people that I want to follow. I'm not sure there is any direct payout effect from followers, but they do seem to add to the conversation.
I would tend to agree with you @diggndeeper.com
There is no doubt commenting gets on recognized...also by some bigger fish. A bran new person most likely isnt going to interact with a dolphin on the new person's post. However, when one comments, the chances of interacting with someone like that goes up greatly (and gaining an upvote and follower).
For some reason people still are fixated in gifting their time and talents to that creepy creature named Zuckerberg... haha. Great post Task! I wish I had more time to write here on Steemit, I love it and the money is great too!
Yeah well you do a lot of your kind of "writing"...that code stuff takes a lot of time....especially when something crashes....
I look forward to the update on the update...hopefully that clears up the problem....I was so excited for the update and poor, my app was zapped (and not in a zappl way either).
Coinmarketcap should send you a thank you note...their clicks have to be up the last 24 hours since I am hitting their site ever 47.28 seconds.
I’ve done this too. I think I earned more commenting than posting. I also gained more followers fast by commenting.
Commenting with a worthwhile intelligent response is the key to early success on Steemit.
This is the grind, and those without deep pockets will almost certainly have to do this to both build relationships/followers, and gain those early SP prizes.
Your level of commenting is out of the ordinary and when compared to the average it is streets ahead. And so, this figure is huge and indeed I am looking at a quarter of this total for the past 7 days. Saying that, this is still in my opinion, an epic financial result which brings more than just that to both your content, and the platform.
Paid to engage, what could be easier! :D
I think that should be the new Steemit it motto @abh12345.
I guess I should have been clearer about post like I do...I was referring to the number of comments not so much the number of words. A new person could easily make a couple hundred well written comments a week when first starting out. There are times "conversations" take place within the comment section which adds to it.
I hope you are still enjoying yourself.
ahh! I'm with you now :)
I'm rested but clearly not up to full speed again yet!
Why not :)
Well i'm back at base in Mallorca, so I'll be around more while I plan the next adventure. Thanks for asking, and have a great week!
Hi! @abh12345
I really agreed with you on this
The best way is to drop a comment in relation to the understanding of the topic of discussion in a post. Quality comment does it all.
They sure do, thank you :D
As a newcomer it can be a bit overwhelming just starting out xD
Couldn't have worded it any better.
I always make sure to comment when an opinion worth saying or with something that I would like to express to the writer of the post.
Thank you for your tips.
I think the problem is people think they should just get money for free. It takes hard work. Making abgood comment is no different. You have to find post you are interested in read them then think and write a creative comment. This post is very motivating in that money can be made if you work at it. Thanks for the encouragement
Yes it does take hard work...although I find posting to be easier than many of the jobs I had in the past, especially part time ones.
But you are right, it isnt a situation where you put up a post and people hand you hundreds of dollars right off the bat.
It takes consistent effort and dedication.
Appreciate the guidance. I'm the new kid on the block (chain) and am absorbing all that I can in good solid advice. I try to make appropriate and well thought out comments. Even with what little exposure I've had, I can tell it makes a real difference. I've noticed, too, that posts such as yours that deal with steemit in a myriad of ways seem to get noticed and read and commented upon. I must also say that one quickly learns to foster relationships with persons such as yourself... not only to gain knowledge but to become active in an enclave or community within steemit. In my mind I picture the totality of steemit as an energy but within this metropolis of light I see smaller communities, villages, enclaves that are creating and developing their own energy and light. That seems to me to be what you are doing. So, in other words, I go to the light. BECAUSE I think this post is valuable to those within my own very small gathering (can't call us a village yet) I am RESTEEMING.
