Steemit rewards February 2019
At the last day of the month, it is time for a new post about the rewards I got from different Steemit services and initiatives. This time it looks slightly different, since Steemreports.com doesn't report about the period after February 4th.
Voting distribution
Based on upVoters you can get insight in the upvotes you get for a certain amount of time. Below you can see the voting distribution of all incoming votes in February (and January as a comparison). It can be seen that the share of @steembasicincome has gone up quite a bit and @esteemapp is the new kid on the block on two. At the same time, the share of @steem-ua and @actifit have gone down. The first human curator is @fullcoverbetting with a nice 4.6%, thanks Peter!

Author rewards
The second important thing to take into account is the total amount of author rewards that I got during this month. Steemworld.org helps here, since you can see the rewards of the last 30 days on your account page there (see below). One disadvantage is that rewards are always paid out 7 days after you author a post. That means that the reward data from Steemworld are 7 days behind the Steemreports data about upvotes. To keep the calculation easy, I assume that the amount of upvotes by the different services are comparable for both periods. Since I post 4 to 5 times a week nearly all weeks, that should be pretty close to the reality.
According to the Steemworld data, I got 15.48 STEEM (Power) and 1.18 SBD in author rewards last month. Since not all my posts are paid paid out in the same way, it is difficult to exactly determine how high the rewards in STEEM were. For the calculation I assume that the average price of STEEM was around 0.3 SBD. That makes a total reward value of 19.41 STEEM (compared to 29.17 in January).
Results
In the table below you can find the results of the calculation for this month, including a recap from November and October. I only take the services into account that are among the five biggest contributors/upvoters (and Stax because it used to be in the top 5).
| Service | Share (%) | STEEM (Feb) | STEEM (Jan) | STEEM (Nov) | STEEM (Oct) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| @steembasicincome | 35.5 % | 6.89 | 7.09 | 9.30 | 10.68 |
| @esteemapp | 16.2 % | 3.14 | - | - | - |
| @steem-ua | 14.2 % | 2.76 | 5.54 | 3.06 | 2.96 |
| @actifit | 7.6 % | 1.48 | 8.08 | 1.67 | 0.62 |
| @upvoteshares | 3.7 % | 0.72 | 1.05 | 0.56 | 0.79 |
| @silvergoldbotty | 3.6 % | 0.70 | 1.78 | 1.53 | 2.41 |
SBI is back on top this month with still a big contribution to my author rewards. It however has gone down a little bit compared to January.
Esteem is new in the list. That is mainly because I started using the app about two weeks ago. Already now it can be seen that the upvotes by the account itself contribute a lot to my earnings. On the other hand, you do give the account 10% of the total author rewards (not subtracted in this calculation), so the net effect is a bit lower.
Steem-UA is in third place and has decreased a lot compared to last month. This is probably because I interacted less in December and January, which made my (relative) post score be lower most of the time.
Actifit has gone down a lot, from 1 to 4, because I posted fewer reports. Upvoteshares has gone down a bit in Steem, mostly because I posted less frequently than in January. Lastly, Stax has gone down because I reduced my delegation to them early this month.
Conclusion and further thoughts
Based on the numbers, I'd say most of the services are still working well for me. SBI brings in a steady income but has gone down over the months. I might delegate some more SP, but won't buy new shares. The Esteem app works very well and gives nice upvotes that are worth a lot more than what you pay them, so it is a win-win. Steem-UA is still a great service when you calculate the Return on Investment. Actifit is a nice way to make more out of your activities and turns out to be highly profitable (as long as your reports contain at least around 10k steps).
All other services (including @dustsweeper and @minnowbuilder, which are not in the list) still provide a, slow but steady, return, so I won't be changing any of those.
What do you think about the numbers? And do you have any recommendations for me? Let me know in the comments below!
Nice work. Glad I made the list. Keep that account growing.
I will. Thanks for your continued support!

You are welcome Erik. We small fishes should take care of each other.
Don’t know if you are using your phone a lot to post or comment but here is another trick!
I started to use Partiko to write comments on posts. Each comment does give you 10 points. These points can be exchanged into an upvote. An upvote will give you 5 points. And so on.
To start you will get 3000 bonus points. I will try to accumulate as much as points as possible next month and use the upvote on one post!
Here is my ref ID:

It all adds up!
Strange that you didn’t mention the delegations and the games like @drugwars which also generates an income!
Let me quickly see how I am doing on drugwars.

First transfer was before 17.00 days.
Your ROI per day is 7.61 % and you are earning approx. 6.15 STEEM per day.
I do use my phone a lot, so it would make sense to try partiko. I'll have a look at it.
Good idea to also include the games. So far I only looked at upvotes, so therefore I didn't include them yet. Will look how I can incorporate that next month.
Enjoy it!
Really works great! It all adds up!
