Part III Includes My List of Bid Bots I Like and a Quick Overview of Steembottracker.com

Happy Victory Day Steemian! Today's post is going to be video heavy and text light because it is Victory Day and I spent most of my day at parades and other festivities. However, I promised you a post on bid bots that I use and why so here it is.

You can check out the video below for a comprehensive view, explanation and a brief tour of Steembottracker.com by @yabapmatt.

My Top Bot Services That I don't Use Steembottracker For

There are 4 services/bots that I use direct sends from my wallet to buy upvotes. I do direct sends for various reasons, but the number 1 reason is that they aren't listed on Steembottracker except for one. Here they are -

  1. Ebargains - Yes, you can find @ebargains on Steembottracker however, I first came across them as a Resteem service for 1 SBD and have used them faithfully every since. Why, because while I can't be 100% sure, I believe they increase my readership and exposure. They certainly increase my upvotes as I get a plethora of small upvotes nearly immediately after they resteem my posts.

However, the best reason is that they upvote my posts at over 200%. As we've discussed before, 200% is my breakeven threshold and @ebargains nearly always delivers upvotes exceeding 200%. Here is a screenshot of one of my recent purchases with them.

1.0 SBD got me a $2.11 STU upvote plus a huge resteem and a slew of other upvotes (albeit very small).

  1. Lays - @lays used to be listed on Steembottracker, but now only takes direct sends. I send them 1.0 SBD on nearly every one of my posts and have done so for several months. They always come through. They also post good articles and if they find you to be a "good, quality author" they will upvote you 3x's your SBD send. Apparently they think I'm a quality author.

  2. Goldenwhale - I like @goldenwhale because they are affordable. You can send them as little as .05 SBD and get a 200% plus upvote. I don't need @goldenwhale because I can buy from more expensive bots and services; however, I like "the little guys" and in the spirit of creating competition that would favor customers, I support @goldenwhale. Here is a screenshot of a recent purchase I made with .06 SBD.

As you can see from my calculator in the photo - 216% For those of you that are SBD poor, this is a good option because profit is profit.

  1. Qustodian - @qustodian is an awesome bot. Unfortunately, if you are not a member of Qurator (and why aren't you?) I don't believe you can utilize their service. If you are a "Qurite", then you should be utilizing it with every post because it pays great. Returns from @qustodian are in the 240% + range. The amount you can send is small with a maximum around .5 SBD, but with a great ROI. Another screenshot for you and a bonus from a recent post they made. My send was a net of .106 SBD with a return of .28. Well above the threshold.

Steembottracker Bots I Use

Here are the 4 bots I use on Steembottracker.com I have used them often and they consistently meet my 200% threshold. Occasionally, they don't make me money, but that is the nature of bidding.

Screen Shot 2018-05-09 at 22.09.33.png

@buildawhale
@peace-bot
@rocky1
@dolphinbot

With the exception of @buildawhale, all of these are affordable for everyone. @buildawhale has a 5 SBD minimum and @rocky1 a 3 SBD minimum, but I think both are easily accessible if you have been following my Strategies and using my Essential tools.

Here is the video - Enjoy!

Recap

I use these vote purchasing services and USUALLY I make a profit from doing so. You should be aware that this is not guaranteed and you could lose some money. I share this info because people ask and trust my judgement for some reason. This is what I do and why. You need to make decisions based on as much information as you can ingest and your own circumstances. Of course, I am always willing to help when asked so make sure to comment below.

While this is an informative post, it is NOT comprehensive like many of my posts. Therefore, I will be revisiting this issue with very detailed posts on Steembottracker.com as @yabapmatt has agreed to address some of my questions and help me simplify the material AND I will be writing a longer post only on @buildawhale as soon as I get all the solid answers I need to continue.

All the best to you and Remember! - If you're glad the Nazis got their asses kicked, Thank a Russian because they did the bulk of the work. Read my posts this week to learn more.

Will be back later to comment after I have time to watch the video. Wanted to let you know my first stab at delegation failed as you mentioned could happen, so instead of trying to be a market setter I put out the best offer on the market and got it within a couple hours of placing my order last night. Thanks again for dissecting my account and explaining everything. I love this slider.

Ok, so watched the video. While not a fan of the bots, one of the reasons has to do with how they are taking advantage of those using their services (although they do send a lot of crap to the top of trending too). It is good you have found some that actually allows their users not to lose out. I will be curious to see if you notice a change in their availability now that you have shared the fact only a handful are not a guaranteed loss.

No worries bud. I'm been running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Crazy week so far. Talk to you soon.

Apparently they think I'm a quality author.

I do not understand this. My upvoting, shouting and cheering while I read your stuff is all just an act...

LOL Thanks for the good thoughts.

Hi and thanks about your articles. The problem with some bid bots is when you made a success to catch a good ROI on steembottracker and the bot doesn't respect the ROI annonced (still the case today with Promobot) Did you already have this kind of problem ? (for example, a ROI of 50% turns into a 10% loss !!)

You are absolutely correct! Thanks for stopping by and bringing up this issue. It is one of the things I hope to address as I correspond with Steembottracker. This is exactly why I only use the bots that I listed. These are the ones that haven't burned me in the past.

Thanks for your answer. I need too to contact Steembottraker (with yabapmatt ?) because some bot are not correct and stole too easily money (no respect of the ROI)

Excellent post as always

as minnow, i must be certain with bots, no mistake is possible to me...

i agree with @achim03 , too many users are using bots and the result could be a disaster.

To obtain reward, you must receive nearby 300%
oryou just only obtain SP reward, All minnows like me will must be careful about it or will lose too many sbd . Remember (upvote x 0.75)/2 , if you paid sbd 1 and obtain sbb 2.5 , then (2.5x0.75)2 = sbd 0.94 and equal in SP .

to minnow, the best are:
drotto, coolbot, minnowsupport (free) , earthnation-bot (paid 0.70 and get 0.28 every 8 days), voterunner

range 0.100 - 0.300 are very hard to get a 300%

0.500 - 1.000 a little easy but no to much

if you want SP, all right, no matter too much % , but is you have a few sbd, be careful

bye

Thanks @victorsilab for adding some minnow-level support bots to the list. Good information for those that have very little SBD in their accounts. It's always good to get feedback from you on these topics. All the best my friend.

I really know nothing about this topic so thank you for breaking it down for me! Really appreciate the content you create :-)

Thanks for stopping by. I'm happy that I'm providing a bit of a service for others. Let me know when/if you ever have questions. All the best.

I've used bots quite a few number of times and things didn't go well.. But with this post, now I know which bot I'm going to use for my posts

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Please check in with me and let me know how these strategies are helping (or if they're not). I hope to hear from you again soon.

Hi @energyaddict22,
I've tried to use upvote bots that are listed on steembootracker but I can hardly find anything with a positive ROI at the end of biding time. I believe that the demand in upvote bots is so high that there is simply not enough offer.
To find bots that are not listed, seems like a better alternative to cover the investment. I'will try to get started with Qurator, now that I have enough steem. Their bot seems great to start with. I've also made good experiences with @tipU which gives a 210% upvote and also the @earthnation-bot which offers a 400% upvote 1x/week to minnows only.

Great points @achim03! Earthnation does a really great job at supporting their members who are relatively small. I was unaware of @tipU and will have to check them out. Thanks for adding to the conversation, I truly appreciate it.

Happy Victory Day and really thanks for your efforts after busy day also, and i was waiting for this post because, in first post you mentioned about the EBARGAINS and you advised you will advise about this service in later posts, but that day only i tried out it and literally speaking for 1 SBD we are getting around 2.20 SBD upvote and with free resteem and with great curation trail, so in my opinion it's an complete package. Thanks for advising and keep doing the awesome work. Wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂

Thanks for commenting and I'm really happy that you are finding practical uses for my posts to help you grow. All the best to you, my friend.

Welcome and thank you so much. 🙂

Very good article....I did not know about lays and goldenwhale. Thanks!

Good deal. Glad that I'm providing some useful info. Keep in touch and let me know how things are going.

Very good post....with this post just learnt about bots.....

Good deal. I'm happy that is was helpful.
