Promoting Posts - The Bad Way!

in #blog9 years ago (edited)

I just woke up and decided I'll open Steemit before getting breakfast. I saw a post of mine still hasn't reached a dollar ($1). I said "this post deserves some love".

So I scrolled down and looked for the "Promote" button. Maybe I'll spend 0.001 SBD on this! That will be a generous amount.

I'm on mobile, the screen looks like this:

Well, I thought I'm a very good mobile keyboard typist so typing numbers blind will be very easy for me to do.

I typed the numbers in. Nothing typed, I typed it in again. Strange, nothing shows up. I said to myself "Maybe it worked the first time". Clicked submit then logged in with a saved password then boom, I JUST SUCCESSFULLY PROMOTED A POST.

FOR 10.001 SBD! WTF?!

(That's actually a big amount for me...)

Also, I just found out that the 10SBD was a winning from the LEARN TO DRAW WITH FRIENDS contest by @tonyr, great guy. Thanks Tony! I really appreciate your support for our fellow artists. Expect that I will join your contest till forever. I had my dad and little sis join your contest too and it has been a very rewarding experience for us 3. Thanks!

My bad, don't do stuff half awake.

Praying the Promoted post will get enough attention to bring back that cash. Haha!

sad post :(

I lost 7.5$ here.

We learn from our mistakes :D

We do. Haha. Fingers crossed. Thanks for reading.

darn, that sucks.

XD I make stupid mistakes sometimes. Shit happens.

Let us know how the promotion goes. Is it worth using that function at all over here.

It's not. There are some posts promoted with 20$ without earnings. See @promoted's post.

Will, need to check, but maybe it's because it's poor content.

There's that possibility too. Or people just don't go there anymore.
