RE: The EASIEST way to get paid consistently on STEEMIT.

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

The EASIEST way to get paid consistently on STEEMIT---is to sell votes as a bot, LOL. Yes, this is the current situation of Steem. People prefer selling votes or vote only for their friends, instead of discovering good content and voting them up. The rules need to be improved for sure.

Sort:  

He bought $300 in votes on this post. Now, he's losing money after curation. Too bad. But, the whales he gave it to meantime, will just do it again in 2.4 hours, over and over and over. without risking downvotes or being a part of the system at all. That's the real reward pool rape on steemit right now.

Of course you can you always decline payments to the curator.

Huh I'm not sure about that. There's a 25% curators reward portion built into every post on steemit.

we need better bot system

Thats true, if has the sectret to get paid for the post handsomely, why has promoted this post by spending $s

Okay, so what can we do to get noticed on Steemit? Well researched articles aren´t the way it works. People are upvoting each other.

"Once upon a time, good communication was simple. You wanted an engaging web page, so you wrote as interestingly and concisely as possible what you wanted your reader to know. 100 words maybe? 150 perhaps? 200 tops.

Once you’d got it right, you could leave it there for ever, knowing the people you directed there would get your message.

Then along came Google.

A ‘serious’ web page, the geeks decided, was obviously one which had 500 words plus on it. And to be considered a ‘serious’ website, clearly it needed to change every day. No serious website would just leave the same old words there, surely?

So, if you wanted Google to direct searches to your site, you had better follow the advice above, and fill your website daily with meaningless blather.

And so, in the blink of an eye, the internet was brimming with crap.

And clearly, it’s getting fuller by the second. Mostly with articles about content marketing, many of which provide illuminating tips about writing good content – you know, choose an interesting headline, check the spelling, the most effective form of content is something called an “article” (yup, really)."

What´s the purpose of good content here on Steemit? It´s not getting discovered at all unless you promoting it. But you can´t do it if you are having no money at all...

There are some things you can do. Check out my dolphinschool server on discord. Take a look at the bootcamp lessons channel. There's ten days worth of assignments in there designed to help. I've done well here for two years, but lately it's a different story. https://discord.gg/mrGyae

Thank you very much. :)

You're welcome, that's what it's there for.

your post got my attention.jpg

I will check into this... your comments got my attention..
THANK YOU !
:-)

Your choice, delete your spam reply to my comment, or I can flag it and knock your 24 to a 22.

I don't know how else to deal with it. That one had a link to a sketchy article and I'll be damned if I will let someone get scammed, like happened to several this last week, our of their accounts on one of my comment threads.

Thank you that was very nice. It is great to see the experienced users helping watch out a bit.
New little fish don't know about the scam links and how to watch out.

I think that way is not good, people will make a bad post and buy votes therefore the writers and the content is very good will be lost spirit if must buy upvote

Yes I totally agree with you! Steemit has to stay a social network which is only supporting quality content! :)

The rich will hold all the power.

Too late, they already do and the smaller fish are renting their power to them also.

Stay? Are you under the impression that's what happens now? Nope. 3/4 of the top payouts are buying votes.

!00 percent correct. Very few morals here. Some are treating it like a business or a profitable sideline. They are big enough and don't care. Do there 3 or4 posts a day and put a bot on it and job done.

As far as business, i have no problem with that. But, it doesn't excuse taking profit without earning the votes

Agree. Problem is they are not earning the votes.

Can't fault them as they have worked the system out.

Except, that is not exactly "the system" it's working around the system, which is supposed to allow community input on which pieces receive reward. Anyone that wants to earn here, should be subject to it. Sorry, I don't agree.

You did know the post you are reading only made ten ding because he bought 300 spd worth of votes.

I've just got my account and was browsing trending articles. I've should have read the comments first.

I'm new to steemit, how does one buy the votes?

You can try smartsteem.com. This is just one place, there are a few now.

I probably would not have known to look at that either

So make friends then ;) True I upvote friends, but there are just a few I can upvote every single post with a clear conscience, others post content from very good to lets put a cloak of silence over it. Oh and you forgot to mention those who vote for themselves:)

I read you are supposed to upvote yourself! I'm a noob though, is this not cool?

Yes I am not comfortable with upvoting myself but I'm usually the only one voting on me lol so ...

It's a controversal topic. I would say it's ok to upvote your own posts, and your comments only if you upvoted the post you comment in, and only if its a meaningful comment.

Thanks for the knowledge!

And in fact it is highly recommended by many people who post here. I think the main thing is if there's a general agreement about something like this then it's cool. If it's understood that you vote your own post up then great. It's when some take advantage of it.

Thats right. Make new friends...

I feel this platform will be tainted in the long run lol

It's already tainted by people like @HAEJIN!!!

The idea of it being tainted either now or in the long run assumes we can predict the future based on how things are running on Steem now. Isn't more steem generated as more users come online? And wouldn't that mean that more dolphins and whales will be created as we move forward and steemit grows?

If not, you can bet your wallet that someone will figure out a way to either improve Steemit and make it better. Or, someone will create a more balanced system with more egalitarian rules.

i really hope it wont. I just discoverd this platform lol, and hoping to get some good stuff out and maybe make some money in the proces :). Maybe they can fix some of those problems in the future, bots and stuff.

Sad, but true. We need to ACT SOON. This is exactly what prevents people from using Steemit:
The first thing they see is botfarms raking in their money for low level content.
If we let this happen, Steemit will die out and there will only be bots left, jerking off to each other virtually.

On the one hand I agree. But we live in a world of bots so they cannot be escaped. I think the question is how do we integrate with them? Do we embrace them and use them to "augment" ourselves?

@steembasicincome might have the answer you're looking for. As for Steemit, it can be whatever we make it, but it's as far from Facebook as the Internet is from the real world.


Time is Art. In Life, all we have is Time. Why not make Art all the Time?

Thanks to their loyal support, I am able to create a passive income stream that funds my creative output and delivers this original content directly to YOU.


I think the main action required is to make sure that the value and good stuff exceeds the not so good stuff. That is what will make it a worthwhile platform and therefore keep it around and growing.

Well said man...

This should change. People vote for Good content. for better Future of steemit.

If such possibility exist, this makes the entire platform compromised.

One suggestion how such tactic could be reduced is :
Shouldn't there be some captcha or verification when people up-vote a post?

I already provided a possible solution to this problem in my blog, check it out :)
https://steemit.com/steem/@freethoughts/why-steem-may-need-moderation-and-how-it-could-look-like

Yes it's a complex issue.

Another side effect of having specific moderators is the whale wars that happen. People purposefully down voting another's content for reasons other than quality. Eg they don't like them or they are trying to make a point about using bots or when the vote is made etc.

Sad but true...
