Steemducation: How to increase your posts payout organically

Ahh all these huge payouts with bots absolutely blasting people through the skies it is hard to wonder, is there any other way to get some gains from your posts here on Steemit without these steemyfied-vending machines?

If you look for posts that make you go above and beyond to payouts with 3 Scifres(or even 2), no there's no current way of doing that as a minnow or even dolphin, unless you buy your votes or found some whale that really liked you.

BUT there's a lot of ways to get a few extra easy dollars per post with little effort to be made and not much of an investment whatsoever.

Let me show you what gold nuggets even the poorest bastard on the steem blockchain can use to add some value to that sweet, empty wallet of yours.

1. Post from busy.org and add "busy" in your tag!

---

By posting from busy.org you will get a free upvote from @busy.pay usually worth between 0.30 - 0.60 cents (depending on the current steem price and his voting power).
It does not matter if you write on steempeak.com (like I do), when I am done writing, I copy it all into busy.org and post it there, because why would I need want an extra upvote on my posts?

I know it is dirty to do it like that, but we gotta use what we have to our advantage!
Use steempeak.com for its superior functionalities and busy for its wealth.

Genius.

Writing about travel? use @travelfeed and @steemitworldmap

If you write some kick-ass content these two wonderful projects will help you go even further and you don't need anything else but the talent to get their attention!

You might even get featured in their weekly "travel digestion" posts if you stand out from the crowd.

You will find that it is extremely consistent to get their support if you write some good stuff. @travelfeed has a really nice curation trail that makes it even more attractive!

@steemitworldmap requires a little extra work since you have to go to their map(you can find it on account) and add the location you are writing from. It's actually a really cool concept and I have personally received everytime I used the tag an upvote from him. Again, it does require you to put some work into your posts!

REMEMBER that both also require you to use their tags "travelfeed" and "steemitworldmap" if you want their support. But it is worth it!

Delegate at least 25 SP to @steem-ua (User authority)! OR to be the most efficient 100 SP.

---

So this new project is pretty cool and again, gives you a neat vote on your posts. if you delegate 25 SP it is maximum 1 vote a week. But if you delegate 100 SP you get 5 votes a week on your posts.

If you go beyond this it can help you in some ways but to my knowledge, the votes you receive will not get bigger.

Nonetheless, you should use it, not only is it super healthy for the platform to put some delegation into this instead of voting bots and it will really quickly give you some nice votes from @ua on your posts.

Become one hell of a kick-ass blogger and become blessed from @fulltimegeek

Okay, this one is not easy and this guy is really picky with who he adds to the list of his bot army. But can you blame him? he literally gives all his steempower to help out those who actually deserve it. If you have some talent in writing and are really persistent, you might get on his list and access to his bot army that will randomly hand out votes when they reach 100%. Most of his bots are at 3000SP but there are also some special once that is at 10k, 30k and even 100k. (Only noticed one of those so far).

How do you get on his list? do what you do best and produce as good content you can, follow him and write to him when you have something actually worth his attention. He will give you the fair judgment and with a bit of luck, he will add you.

It took me 8 months of stalking and planning to get into his list, so really, make it a long-term goal. (I'm sorry for selling you out @fulltimegeek), but for people who are serious about being a blogger on Steemit, this is a good opportunity to get!

Networking is still the key!

---

While these tricks will give you a good kick-start, it will be wise of you to not neglect networking with fellow steemians. Engaging in the community is the number one way to get anywhere, regardless of your content! While I am a voucher to put some work into quality content, it is indeed important to find the balance and spend some energy in your networking on the platform.

It is a mistake I made my first 9 months on Steemit and it is a mistake most of you also have done! Let's stop being stupid together and start being smart, shall we?
