Minnow Tip Steemdunk Post Upvoting Save Time Increase Rewards

I started using @steemdunk's autovoting service a couple of week's ago and I am sold. This is a great program that is helping me be more efficient at steemit and I think it will help you too. The idea is to remove the chore of daily post upvoting while still doing it automatically.

A tutorial and other informational posts about this voting program are on the @steemdunk feed. Basically:

  • Choose who to upvote
  • Choose the slider percentage to upvote
  • Choose the minute to upvote

Done! Now you only need to upvote comments as you work. You have already used up your post voting for the day.

OR

You can save a couple of votes for daily use. It's up to you and how much voting you have scheduled.

Benefits of steemdunk

  • Helps support friends with a consistent reward
  • Gives decent curation rewards
  • Gives a nice @steemdunk upvote to my post on occasion - no more than once a day.
  • Encourages those I upvote each time to remember me kindly
  • Allows a slider to use even with total sp under 500
  • Saves angst of choosing what posts to vote for each day - this alone is worth it to me.
  • Saves time; removes a task from my busy steemit day
  • Saves time; gives me a place to check if my friends have posted without visiting individual feeds
  • Easy to set up and use

Tips to use Steemdunk Post Upvoting

  • Set people up for a low amount first. I mean low! 10 or 20 percent at first. As you start, monitor your power and adjust as necessary.

  • You can upvote 20 people on the free @steemdunk plan. This is a good amount and you will definitely need to adjust your slider down if you vote on that many – I do not.
  • For max curation rewards as a minnow – vote on less people at a higher percent.

  • Keep your power above 75% - better 90%.

To learn more about curation

  • check the curation tag at steemit for “how to” posts, results posts, and opinion pieces
  • join the curation league of @abh12345 – lurk and talk in comments if you do not qualify to join.

Here is who I’m voting on with steemdunk today, and why I made these choices.

All is subject to change. All my votes are very low on the slider right now as I recover from my initial exuberance. I believe I will soon be able to increase everyone at least a few points once my power recovers.

@bxlphabet
My wonderful son I worry so much about. His most recent post spooked him from coming back. He does not like to “splat himself all over the internet” like his mom. I hope he will return and I am ready to vote if he does.

@getonthetrain
Fantastic budget advice and how to make money with side gigs. I like to squeeze usage out of my money, and here I have a kindred soul.

@gmichelbkk
My friend in Bangkok who stays in luxury hotels for fun. I look and laugh. I’m sure he laughs just as hard at the hostels I stay in. Michel is a wonderful editor and sends me my weekly @jerrybanfield update, which I treasure and read every word. You never know what Jerry might have come up with and I might want to get in on it.

@howtostartablog
Alvin runs the dailyfoodphotography challenge I enter at least 5 times a week. This post is therapy for me and very difficult. Food is not my favorite thing to talk about since I was obese my whole life before now. But I know I should talk about food in order to help others, and Alvin’s wonderful contest keeps me on it.

@maarnio
My helper from the north pole, @maarnio's daily crypto contests teach me about the various coins. I have so far learned they are very diverse and that the crypto market is the wild, wild west. Go follow these contest too and you can learn this brave new crypto world, gain curation rewards, and possibly win in some of the contests. Each post has an explanation of the pricing trends and a video to help you understand what this coin even means. Highly recommended for crypto-noobs like me.

@maarnio's posts take 2 votes. The automatic post vote is done, but now you have to go to the post and upvote a comment if you want to be in the contest. Read the explanations, study the charts, and watch a short video. Now you will have some knowledge.

@majes.tytyty
An esl teacher who has some kind of gigantic library of resources that will take 1000 years to publish in full. He is posting some of this extraordinary work now and helping anyone who needs help with writing blog posts – English speaking or just learning. Go take a look and then remember to refer this page when you run into people struggling to write their blog posts and comments.

@mariannewest
Social media maven and homesteader, Marianne runs #freewrite with her bare hands. I’m praying someone soon delegates her some sp because she has a major with this excellent daily challenge. New people learn how to post at steemit with Marianne. She is a whirlwind gem and I love her the most.

@qurator
I just signed up with them – not sure of it yet. I'm supposed to vote and then they might vote for me - to be determined...

@steemiteducation
I post to this tag and hope to be picked up one day in their resteems. If not, as a former university professor and teacher in many settings, I support this initiative to get tutorial content on steemit.

@sydesjokes
Colin pays for actions on his feed so I vote, comment, and sometimes resteem his cute, funny, or inspiring thoughts throughout the week. Now at least the voting part is taken care of. I have friends I talk to over there there and I drop my tutorial links when I can, since a lot of people are over there.

@watertoncafe
A friend indeed – just starting at steemit – quite the investigator! I learned about @steemdunk from this source and will remain loyal :)

@world-travel-pro
My friend in cheap world travel is my friend in person too. Dan spent a few months here in Thailand and we are now family. Dan is a superstar content creator and we can all learn from studying his beautifully photographed travel posts. @world-travel-pro is always the biggest hit when I tweet his posts. Budget travel done right with lots of adventure thrown in.

Automating difficult chores is a great idea at steemit.

We have a lot to do here and voting can almost disappear from the To Do list with @steemdunk. I has really felt the stress dissolve over the last couple of weeks using it.

Upvoting was taking me a lot of time and mental energy, but now it’s painless. I have certain people I upvote and that’s that. I catch all their posts and support them, I visit daily or every few days, and interact where I upvoted and see how they are doing. So much better than the old days of watching the clock and searching for my friends.

Thanks for putting this together @fitinfun!

You're welcome! I love this service and pass on the tip to everyone I can. Now if I can get people to keep their power up, we might have something!

I was thinking about autovoting. Finally I got it. Thansk @fitinfun, This tutorial is very helpfull for me.I acheived a lots of experience that i never knew before ..

Yes, you most definitely should since you are busy creating good content. Start small - it is easy to add people quickly, change percentages, and delete people once you are set up. Just be sure to keep your power up. Keep going - you are someone who can succeed here.

I found another guy doing English teaching :) https://steemit.com/@ghasemkiani

Thank you so much for everything!! The votes, the shout out, the support!! I will certainly start following everyone you mentioned - well, some I do already follow. And the Qurator is for real. I have been using it. You registered, right?
Lot's of love to you....... voted, resteemed and loved :)

Aw! Yes, I feel like I just got approved with them, so I'm giving it some time to kick in. Please let them know of this post if you have any way to do that. This is a good help for new minnows.

If you are there on qurator, YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE. At least set them up with a 5% autovote so you are in their higher tier.

Love you right back, Marianne. I know I will be freewriting again soon. I have #freewrite on my prayer list to get you a sponsor or two, so they are on their way. Have a wonderful Christmas :)

You are the sweetest!! I am going to share your post in tomorrow's prompt!

You definitely convinced me to try steemdunk with this helpful post. Thank you!

You're welcome. Start small and grow over time so you don't blow out your power like I did at first :)

Exactly my goal :)

Thank you so much for this wonderful blog. ..so helpful! ❤

You're welcome. I know you will be happy if you set this up. The random upvote alone is worth it.

Will definitely look into it & use it! 😊

Wow, I am honored to receive a spot on your vote list! I am still voting manually, but I might have to check into steemdunk as I do find myself limited in time nowadays.

Have a great Christmas!

You should! I know you will feel the stress disappear as I did. So glad to be connected and I really love your interesting posts :)

Merry Christmas to you and your too !

And to you as well, Happy Christmas Eve Eve :D

The idea is to remove the chore of daily post upvoting ...?

I don't know how it is a chore to up vote posts you enjoy reading...?

I don't want to upvote posts just because of an of author.
On the content, yes.

(P.S. I don't want any bots of any kind, by choice, on this site.)

I stopped using any upvote bots because of this, even though it reduces my bank balance - well soon to be bank balance... lol

Long term, bot services are a negative aspect,( I think), not a positive one - for steemit.

I totally disagree with this one - I'm doing 4 posts a day and 30+ comments. My time is too valuable to keep checking voting percentages and waiting for minutes to pass and randomly trying to figure out what to vote for.

Now I am supporting people I believe in with a regular vote. I already know I love their content. I was voting for them already, but I only caught them once in a while and I had to put time into that effort.

If you read what I wrote, I use my voting list to visit my friends each day. If they posted - I can see that by my vote and so I go comment on the page. No more do I have to visit pages to see they did not post yet. Whew!

A big example is @maarnio. I do not want to miss his contests as I use his posts to learn about crypto. I used to randomly think to go look. Now I auto vote at 27 minutes and only have to see the vote on steemdunk, go read the post, watch the movie, and upvote a comment for the contest. And now I never miss one, so I'm supporting him in a more effective way.

Conversely, I'm on HIS bot and he comments on almost all of my posts and upvotes comments. We talk at least a few times a week on a few posts. I'm trying to get him to start dancing, but he's not having it :)

We are also friends and twitter and linkedin where we support each other with our posts. So getting the voting part of @maarnio off my plate is a huge benefit.

The vote bot is now also my #freewrite reminder etc, etc, etc...

I fully agree that setting a bot and never looking at what you voted for is wrong and detrimental. @steemdunk is a whole other ballgame (basketball lol).

It's that efficient accounting brain you have ! lol

Exactly! I'm not trying to scam or cheat or upvote stuff I don't trust. The people on my bot are all very high quality! And my brain has less stress. Win win!

i can't up vote ur post...??????????/

That seems strange. What is happening? You definitely need to be able to upvote me!

don't panic! - up vote done!

how is the trudge through crypto transfer mud, goin' ?

Very muddy still! I have cash for sbd being hand delivered to my son in sd, so at least that is off my plate. I have STEEM, SBD, bittrex (with 5 SBD in it) and coins.co.th. I have absolutely no idea what to do next.

If I manage to move the 5 sbd over to coins.co.th, how would I get the thb to me and how much will all that cost?

I feel the need to reach out to bangkok steemers and see if someone will trade me sbd to thb in a personal handoff. I think I can succeed easier that through this wallet thing. This action leads to photos and steemit posts, so I think I can find some one.

Do you know what this means? It is how I was supposed to put money in coins.co.th. I realize I'm supposed to be going in the other direction, but I'm sure it will still not make sense.

good morning, merry xmas!

i think the transaction costs are too prohibitive...

the other link?- try some small litecoin ? (i will be doing that, soon. have to go dig out some bank details. )

relying on personal transactions in bkk is all very organic and everything, but not a long term fix

lolol

Very true.... I need to get on this with more vigor.

no idea what this means ....

the mud seems to have abated up here!
8 hours ago it was brutal..

Thank you very much for mentioning me in the post and having me in your auto-voter. I am also recovering from a lack of Steem Power because I delegated 2k SP to jerry's bot last week... On my way to Pattaya in another 5-star hotel for the week end. Staying in hostels is fine, if I was alone it's what I would do because it's more friendly I think.

lol - I'm actually jealous as heck! Back in the day, I stayed more upscale just because I had my son with me.

I noticed that power drop. You threw yourself under the bus lol. I've been meaning to tell him I'm out because I don't do those voting bid things. I get anxiety just thinking of it. But he is still my hero and the reason I succeed here at all.

Pattaya with the fam!!!! What? A recent post by @world-travel-pro convinced me to never go there in this lifetime, and I'm sure he would not advise it for kids. I can't wait to see your post. Maybe you will be in a fortified castle :) Don't rent a jet ski and stay away from hookers and the men who run them is all I know of that place.

I don't like Pattaya the same, it's full of sharks in the streets. We always go to the hotel directly and enjoy their facilities there. Sometimes we go to a seafood restaurant. That's all. The advantage is to be only 2 hrs from home, but definitely prefer Hua Hin.

I saw your post and will get over there to comment. It's lovely! Not what I expected at all.

Sounds interesting, I'm going to give it a try.

Thanks for all these informative posts! Reading your stuff has been really helpful to me as a new user.

Aw! Thank you for the boost! I'm so glad to help. I'm trying to get some minnow power going here :)

Wow!!! Thanks @fitinfun, glad you like @steemdunk. Awesome write-up by the way, excellent explanation of the service and how to best use it to help make the daily Steem task easier. Best Wishes of the Season and a Merry Christmas to you.

You too! I am so grateful you gave me this tip! It's life-changing :) Merry Christmas up in snowland. I hope you get a white one :)

a very White Christmas thanks, lots of fresh snow and 10 to 20 below Celsius.

That's just how it is supposed to be!
