RE: How to win at curation rewards and lose at Steem
Hi Asher if you want to earn curation you need to dodge the popular authors. The trap is the users that follow a $200 or $300 post. More can be made on posts with less rewards as they have fewer votes. You can still make decent rewards by curating properly, but it is not easy. Curation returns on your posts are normally not great lol, but that shouldn't be the aim. Engagement should be first and curation is the bonus.
Unpopular authors with good payouts are a good source. But you have to ask yourself, why are they unpopular? If it smells fishy, it's normally fishy, or something else, which I won't speak of :)
edit: ahh you've spotted that you can't earn much curation on my posts :) And this is with me not sticking a 50 cent vote on it at 8/9/10 mins. Sigh.
Very true, but also they could be just performing under the radar. I have no issues if it is a decent post and I know there is 100 Steem coming later. This will make up for the 20 votes that were average.
They could.... and they could also be a sock-puppet banging out multiple posts a day being voted by their chief delegator ;)
That would be the norm I agree. That is why it is best to dodge those as they don't really care if you are voting or not as they will never reply to a comment.
