By paying a small amount of SBD, your post will be resteemed to 10,000+ people. It sounds a good deal, isn't it? Let's see how it works in today's steemit in a minute.

Service promotion messages

If you ever check your wallet, you should probably find quite some 0.001 SBD transferred from someone who you don't know. Yes, that the way how marketing works on steemit. The marketer send you the minimum transfer amount of 0.001 SBD for free to include a promotion message in the memo field. Here is a typical example:

Want more upvotes and followers? Then you need our resteem and upvote service! Get your post resteemed to 10000+ followers, a minimum of 40+ upvotes, and a @xxxx upvote! Send 0.700 SBD or 0.700 STEEM to @xxxx with your post URL as the memo!

Like it or not, you got the free 0.001 SBD in your wallet. From the marketer point of view, cost to reach 1,000 steemians is 1 SBD only. This is comparatively lower than that on other platforms. It seems like to be a win-win situation, isn't it?

Resteem service charge

It depends on the number of followers to be resteemed. Some service accounts may have as many as over 25,000+ followers. The range of service fee is roughly from 0.2 SBD to 2 SBD.

Resteem service scope

It was not long time ago, the resteem service was purely a resteem service. That was straight forward to resteem your post after your payment.

However, with more similar services come on board, they started to bundle other services together. In the above example, the service also include an upvote by the service account plus 40+ other upvotes.

In short, they will make you feel your post gets very popular that worth the cost.

Resteem service effectiveness

If you had subscribed any steemit notification service, or simply checking out the notification button on busy.org, you will find your post being paid for resteem suddenly become very popular. With lots of upvotes and further resteem by strangers to another group of strangers.

To share with you my own experience of using a certain resteem service in one occassion sometimes ago...

• The good feeling could last for 5 to 10 minutes. However, after the robots completed their works, it was deadly quiet again.

• For the upvotes received during that exciting period of time, the upvote values were mostly 0.000 or 0.001.

• No new follower found.

• No new comment found, except those congratulation messages from bots.

• Number of post views could not be verified.

After that , I had not performed any comprehensive data analysis. To be fair, other people may have a total different experience.

Conclusion

Even for the top service in the market, the 2 SBD service fee is not a big deal at all! If you ever did marketing on other social media platforms, you will find the lowest cost is on steemit.

It cause no harm to try it yourself. It is the only way to learn how things work on steemit. Should you find the service very different from my experience, I strongly encourage you create a post to share the details too. Be reminded not to mix up a couple of different services on the same post in order to isolate the findings of each.

However, if your objective was to at least get the service fee returned, you should think seriously before action.

Thanks for reading.
