Maximize Your Author Rewards - Use 50/50 Split When Blogging
Due to the current value of Steem Backed Dollars, a unique arbitrage is available when receiving author rewards. Do yourself a favor and toggle the setting in the lower right corner of the posting screen so that it reads:
Default (50%/50%)
This way 50% of your author rewards are paid out in Steem Backed Dollars. SBD is intended to be pegged to the US dollar at 1 to 1 ratio. Yet, in the real world, SBD is worth closer to $2.
If you receive a 100% Power Up payout for your work, it won't take into consideration the actual price of SBD.
While SBD is riding high, take the 50%, use the internal market (or external) and sell the SBD into STEEM and then POWER UP from there. You will make yourself a tidy little profit and extra Steem Power!

Thank you for the post. It all so new and confusing, but fun.
I am just attempting to do my first trade on the market.
Whenever you have a question, feel free to ask, or google your exact question and you will find that a steemer has already made a tutorial for the process.
Gotcha, thanks for that.
Just little life hacks that work in our favor!
I just got my first payout today and felt like getting my first salary ever.
Right now I am still using the 50/50 split, just because I don't actually know what means. Thanks for the article and I understood more about this.
Good for you! Isn't it great, putting in the effort without expectation, and viola, found money.
Great post buddy, I am about to post this to Steemit Blogger Central for you, think the new people should see this for reference. Hope that hooks you up some, keep up the great work!!

Awesome! I'll check it out on twitter and follow you over there.
Appreciate the support, I will let this sit at the top for a little while to let it catch on for you. I have a few more posts to do but I figure this will help educate so I will let it rest for a bit to help you and others.
Good deal.
I am so new to Steemit. How often does this site pay?
It pays you seven days from the day you posted your content/curation. If you are active and earning rewards daily, after the initial seven days, it will pay you daily.
Oh ok. I am active daily, so this should be like clockwork. Thanks for the information. Enjoy your weekend.
I am late now. I didn't know that I could use my sbd to steem to steem power. Anyways, its a big help. Thanks for the info..
This way you don't have to convert your SBD and wait 3 days, you're also more likely to get a better price.
