ForTheLoveOfBands has been actively upvoting and curating quality indie content for about 5 weeks now and it's time to give you another update, as a lot of new delegators have started delegating and early ones decided to be (even more) awesome and delegated significant amounts!

New: if you have found quality music related content, add a link in the comments of this post (before payout). We'll review the content and upvote!

1. What is #FTLOB worth?

What do you get when using #ftlob, following our curation trail and/or delegate? Thanks to recent delegations, @ftlob's combined SP is currently 2,045.47 SP ( 107.01 + 1,938.46 ). Of course, if you choose to support and join our mission and delegate, your rewards will increase. A 100% upvote with 100% VP is currently worth $0,58.

*The percentages are subject to change, as more Steemians use ftlob. We'll update you in future posts about this or you can join our Discord for updates.
*If you're somehow placed in the wrong tier, contact us on Discord
****Maximum of 2 upvotes per day per account

If you want to continue getting upvotes in tier D-0, make sure to upvote our posts at least 5 times a week at 100% :-)

Just check our blog daily to make sure you don't miss a post. You can also become a fan of FTLOB via Steemauto.com. Simply click 'Fanbase' once logged in and search for 'ftlob'.

Set upvote percentage at 100%, you can leave 'time to wait' at default. We won't post more than 2 posts a day, so daily limit doesn't really matter but if you only want to upvote once a day, set it at 1.

2. How to get an upvote and our attention?

• Follow @ftlob;
• Add #ftlob as a tag to your music related posts. We don't upvote non-musical content;
• Add a link to your post to our recently introduced Discord channel to make sure we don't miss your post. Feel free to invite your friends (see rewards at the bottom of this post) :-)

Also, a few times a week we publish a Daily DTube & DSound Discoveries series highlighting awesome new sounds recently published by Steemian artists. Interact with these posts to earn $INDIE and to be on our radar for future series.

3. How you can increase your rewards

Anyone using the #ftlob tag, will receive a 03% upvote. Join our curation trail to receive a 05% upvote and if you choose to delegate to @ftlob you'll receive even bigger rewards (see table above) + 1 $INDIE token per 1 SP delegated. e.g. 50 SP equals 50 $INDIE distributed bi-weekly.

Simply enter your @ username at SteemBotTracker to manage your delegations and add new ones. Please note the amount you enter, is your total new amount.

If you want to upvote what we upvote (and earn bigger rewards), join our curation trail via SteemAuto and search for ftlob.
