Want to Earn More Rewards? Here's Something You Probably Aren't Doing!

in #steem6 years ago

Another one of my STEEM Guides is out, this time we're talking about underused tactics you can apply to increase your share of the rewards.

Throughout my countless guides I've given you tons of tips on how to increase your payouts, but most of them were being used by those who know what they're doing.

However this time I'm going to focus on underused techniques nearly nobody uses and that you can apply to try to get a leg up and make them work for you.

If that's something you're interested in, read below...

Check the Amount of STEEM in the Reward Pool:

For starters, you should check what is the amount of STEEM in the reward pool.

Whenever there's more STEEM there, it's a good time to really get up and post.

For instances, I read @dragosroua's post and @taskmaster4450's post on the rewards pool being at an all time high.

Here's the post by Dragos

This is exactly what I'm talking about, some times are better to post than others, and the times in which the STEEM ecosystem appears to be sleeping are the best!

On the other hand, since he launched that post and good news spread fast, who knows if that will endure, as I expect more people to post now.

Better get to posting.

Check how many posts were published:

On the same note, check how many posts are being published lately and try to see if you're on a high or on a low.

If there are a lot of posts being published, the rewards will be less than if there aren't many posts seeing the light of day.

So this is the opposite side of the coin in relation to the last header.

So there are two techniques on the same thought:

  • Ensuring the Rewards to be distributed are high;
  • Ensuring the Number of posts to distribute the rewards to are low.

These two happening on the same time, like currently, are a good sign that now may be the time to post.

Invite Your Friends to the STEEM Blockchain, But Through Busy.org!

Finally, did you know that Busy.org now has a referral program that pays you to recruit people to the blockchain?

We all invited our friends to STEEM when we experienced our first successes here, or if you still didn't invite a person then you'll surely do soon.

On the other hand, we usually invited them directly to steemit.

Now you can invite them to busy.org instead, by sharing your referral link, and you'll get 10% of their rewards given to you as well for a whole month - 30 days!

Inspire them to write and to give it their best, help them and ensure they succeed, and you'll get some sidetokens from this as well.

Now you can get rewarded for sharing the good news.

Try These Tactics Out:

Finally, there are some commenting tactics that I urge you to try out.

I've used them myself and I can ensure they work, but to what extents depends on your commenting style.

I've tried all of them, but you should as well as different commenting styles will yield different results:

The first way to comment is the "normal" one. You go to a post, you comment adding value and you leave to your next one.

The second way to comment is the first technique - quantity.

You do the same, but raise your daily commenting averages - this one is the one I've been using and recommending people... it fits my style, and some people with a bit less ease on the writing side may enjoy the next technique better.

This new technique is the Comment Bomb Technique.

With this technique you locate a fresh post that will hit trending and comment on it, ensuring you leave the best comment you can... but then you keep coming back to it and you drop an equally great comment on EVERY SINGLE COMMENT that post gets.

This technique works as well and yielded me great results, and I can see it working better for those who don't feel like they can get enough comments done on the quantity side and would prefer a more local approach.


In Conclusion

Each new day is a new opportunity to get more followers, more rewards and therefore more tokens.

Tokens will empower your account, and you'll grow alongside them.

Using STEEM the smart way is as important as working on it the hard way, so bear this in mind.

Now go on and make your ruckus.

yesterday i had my new record on SBD on one day. excellent. :)
now a Ned to work on my "Comment Bomb Technique"

Wow congrats man! That's great!!!

I've tried commenting on posts I knew were gonna end up in "trending" but I didn't think of coming back to the same post to leave more comments. It's really intelligent, so I'll try it.

Btw, I have a doubt. You advise to wait and see if there are a lot of posts being published or not and to post when there is a low flow of posts being published. But, how can I tel if there are "a lot" of posts being posted at a certain moment?

Well, it would be great to be able to analyze that... I certainly can't, I know if you're knowledgeable in these things you can "read" the blockchain to know that but I can't do it myself.

Thankies Rukka! I miss these posts. ♥ I've been applying on the comment bombs so it's pretty helpful aside from gaining more SBDs but new friends and followers as well.

Steem Supply Will definitely check on this! Aja!

Well, just stay clear of being branded as a spammer like last time :D

yeap! or else I would've definitely need to explain myself! Boom!

Thanks for another great set of tips, @spiritualmax. I am still going through your ‘old’ guides, and you sure have a lot of tricks up your sleeve ;0)
I wish I had known sooner about the affiliate program... But maybe it’s not too late. I might have an idea to still profit from it...

I use the ‘quantity’ comment technique all the time, maybe I can try to add the ‘comment bomb technique’ to my arsenal :0)

No problem for not knowing the affiliate link sooner, I published this on the same day or the day after it was launched :D

perhaps I will give the comment bomb technique a try... I have used something similar but not to the extent you suggest. I have gone back to the same post and conversed back and forth with a few commenters but not on all comments made...

Well, try it and let me know how it goes!

Congratulations @spiritualmax, this post is the ninth most rewarded post (based on pending payouts) in the last 12 hours written by a Superuser account holder (accounts that hold between 1 and 10 Mega Vests). The total number of posts by Superuser account holders during this period was 1087 and the total pending payments to posts in this category was $6191.73.

How cool... this is good news.

I have trying to get to post every 12 hours so that I can take advantage of the busy upvote as well as get me a bigger piece of the reward pool granting that I don't get as high as you but I do well moderately.

Oh yeah commenting and commenting bomb on a great post can be very satisfying and actually could net you a very good profit when you upvote another good comment and someone with a bigger value upvote comes along and comments there as well you get a bigger value to your vote there as a reward.

Im at 20-25 average comment and aiming to get 30-35 in. Don't know if I can manage 50 unless I give up working and going on on dates lol.

Yeap, I'm doing miserably on comments as well, but I'm kinda... well, I'll be honest I've been playing this new mod on free time and waiting for HF20 to come out xD

This is awesome. Thank you for sharing such great tips. I have already read the post of @dragosroua about the reward pool and I must admit I'm amazed. The reward pool this time is huge and it's best to keep posting to increase the SP.

Indeed man, get to posting and collect those rewards :D

Another great guide by @spiritualmax.
Did I mention I read your entire guide compilation. From #01-#26.

My life on steemit wouldn't be as without the knowledge I gained from them.

The comment bomb technique sounds interesting. I was thinking of something similar a couple days ago.

It's actually a technique I used to keep my posts alive on a forum I posted on before I joined steemit.

Wow... that means a lot! I'm glad you liked it and my guides. I hope to keep on delivering man!

Stay cool! Try it :)

I will.
I won 0.200 SBD in a contest recently, where I placed 5th on the log. It was contest where participants had to drop quality comments relating to a given topic.

There were close to 400 comments at post payout.
Imagine how much I would have made if I had "comment bombed" the post.

You'll never know :P

I guess I'll find out.
The contest is on again and I'm applying the tips.

I'll see how it works out by the end of the week.

I think the comment should reveal my vision and my sincere feelings after reading the article.

You think well ;)
