I review Tasteem, eSteem, share2steem dpoll and Busy - Current info is here!

My STEEM posts go through various dApps that I have found to fit since @fitinfunfood started up on Jan 1 2019. I opened this new blog to get my food and health posts off of @fitinfun which has more than enough topics of its own going on.

For my @fitinfunfood blog I use these dApps:

@tasteem 2-3 a week (should be more)
@esteem 5-6 a week
@share2steem 5-6 a week
@dpoll 5-6 a week
@busy 2-3 a week

I try to publish 3-4 posts each day here. I am happy with 3 and not happy with 2.

My goal is 21 posts each week. I rarely make it. Last week I published 17 posts here.

All of these dApps support your post ONCE in 24 hours. So it is no good to post more than once a day with them.

The exception is tasteem. They will support as much as you want to post in a day, but only 3 posts for each contest they run.

@tasteem is for restaurant reviews

Tasteem is my big winner on this blog. They run daily themed contests such as for types of foods or types of venues.

So in a week, you have seven different contests to post to. Post early for best results. A few examples of contest themes are "Takeaway" "Place for a blind date" and "Pizza or Pasta."

When I post a tasteem review, I get:

• great looking posts
• excellent upvotes from tasteem and other people who see the reviews
• Wonderful connections with other reviewers and the chance to see their interesting posts and food from all corners of the world.
• a push to get myself out the door and into the world.

The last point is very personal and special to me. I know I am a hermit, but I did not know how bad it really was! Going out to eat and creating the reviews have both pushed me way out of my comfort zone.

You can look at the last one I did to see just how true this is.

Wonderful Chicken Overload - Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

A bit of a downside is how much time the reviews take me. But I am happy to say I have been creating procedures and getting better and faster as time goes on.

Tasteem votes with a bot at the time you publish and then a manual curator comes through to check your post.

They are checking! So don't break their rules or your review might be hidden and your great vote might be removed.

On the flipside, they might really like your review and increase your vote! How cool is that?

Bad news though

Thanks to steemit and their new cloudflare firewall

Steemit and Cloudflare have teamed up to kill me

• I have barely been able to post on tasteem, and have wasted a ton of time trying in recent days.

Thanks to cloudflare, tasteem cannot communicate with the blockchain, and posts will not go through.

Tasteem is soon going dark for 3-5 days to do whatever it is they have to do so the firewall will not keep breaking the connection. It is not only me who cannot post.

So my great tasteem post payouts are gone for some time to come.

I have done two tutorials and reviews of tasteem. I will do a third when their upgrade comes out. Next week I hope.

@esteem

Esteem is my second highest payer and very reliable. If I do a daily post with this dApp I get their vote and trail votes 90% of the time.

Esteem has manual curation which I appreciate very much. Sometimes the curator does not get to you for whatever reason, and so the vote does not come in. Humans are less reliable than bots!

You need a post of 50+ non-spammy words for eSteem. The day I am short-winded enough to make a 50 word post is not coming soon.

I post 4 contest entries a week to the CCC tag with esteem. CCC has another contest, but I haven't entered that one yet.

CCC is a great place to post and so supportive in votes, sbi shares, comments, and great connections. Be sure to try it if you struggle to post on STEEM.

I also do my freewrites for @mariannewest and @freewritehouse on esteem when they are about food. I highly recommend you check freewrite out too for a great place to post.

So between those posts, and random food related contest entries, I have my 5-6 each week for esteem.

@share2steem

I use share2steem daily to promote another steemers posts on twitter. My tweet ends up on my feed - somewhat like a resteem. So I am getting two results for one action.

@share2steem has been a big win for me. I get "regular" votes from the progam on all posts. I get the "big" trail vote about once a week since I am also voting on the trail.

BAD BAD NEWS

@share2steem is broken now and will only post on occasion. I keep trying but often fail. At least it only takes about 10 minutes to do the post and see if it goes through. If not, at least I promoted on Twitter with my tweet.

The tweet always goes through. It is the interface to steem that is not working.

Unlike tasteem who thinks their dapp will be fixed in less than a week, share2steem has no idea what do or anyone to do it. The person who knows the guts of the program is not on steem at the moment and cannot be found.

@algo.coder Please come in! We need you!

@dpoll

I love dpoll!

I have been using it on my son's @bxlphabet blog (he is not here now) for a few months to excellent results and just started a couple of weeks ago with @fitinfunfood.

I am now polling about health and weight loss topics, and getting excellent response, information and interaction from my poll respondants.

I also get a vote from dpoll when the poll is manually curated by @bluerobo, who is my new best friend. He curates each few days, so do not expect the vote in the first day.

I am commited to 5-6 polls a week after I get cranked up, and very very happy.

Please check out the polls I am doing at this link and answer any polls if you are interested.

I have posted 6 polls so far and started on July 11.

@busy

Busy is the last place I post. I publish 2-3 posts a week there. This is when I need to get a "regular" post or contest entry post out the door, and have already used esteem for that day.

Busy gives an auto-vote based on the collective sp of your followers. If you see this post and do not follow my blog, please do! Currently my busy vote is quite small, but I am very glad to have it.

The more sp of your followers, the bigger yourbust vote.

Busy is being upgraded now and the current version is neglected. Go here to login:
https://staging.busy.org/editor

I often need to RIGHT click the login button now to get it to work.

In conclusion

I love my dapps and 2 of the best are down. I am looking at this list to find others:

Which dApps have the highest payouts on STEEM?

It that post were the top paying dApps on steem as of a couple of months ago. I need to update this, and soon will. We have so many changes going on here that it is hard to keep up!

Next I might try appix. I have tried dlike but found I did not have much to post there after giving it a shot.

And don't forget about PALNET!

We all need to stake our coins and use this tag. Further information is here:

Will PALCoin be my new best friend?

You might not be shocked to hear that thereare "issues" with palnet, so be sure to read that post, lol.

Do you have any dApps you use and recommend? I want to hear from you! I do not make videos now, but I am all ears for anything else.
