We all now know how easily running a bot can change from being easy to finding a way to keep the bot alive for another day. We endured many hard times over the last 2 months and we have come to a realization that if we work with the goal of keeping the bot up, we can achieve it. Over the last months when steem dropped from $3.50 all the way down to $.8, we learned many key things that we must implement in the future in order to make the stress a lot lower. Today we will be discussing some of the main components of how we plan to keep the bot up as it pushes full automation in order to achieve the most successful bot possible.

1. SteemBasicIncome Shares

I am sure you have all heard of steembasicincome(sbi). It is an upvote bot unlike any others, where there is a one time payment for a life time of upvotes. Paying 1 steem will get you about a $.01 upvote per day currently, however the shares are based off a % rather than a fixed figure. The ROI isn’t that great, taking into account that it is a bit over 1 year currently. However, by trading shares, one is able to cut the ROI time in half to 6-7 months. Over the course of the last month I have been seriously looking into and investing in sbi. The reason is quite simple. Once we reach ROI we are going to be gaining upvotes that we will never have to pay for, and can use the steem it generates to push our bot to greater heights.

With this in mind, we have come to the conclusion that we must have 500 sbi shares before December end.

Why December end? This is when the bot will be fully automated and is a good time away where it is still a reach but not impossible. Currently we are sitting at 57 shares with about another 10 waiting to be enrolled. This will bring our total to 67 Shares.

How do we reach 500? We have a few people that we have talked to that are very much interested in trading shares with us at a high scale (even though we can’t do much at once). Our goal is to be gaining atleast 10 shares each week by trading with one another. We also are running the sbi share promo as a way to pay for your monthly subscription. This will allow us focus accumulate a lot of shares while the bot is doing fine and isn’t in desperate need of the liquid steem.

Overall, with a goal of 500 shares we will be able to get an upvote of $5 a week at current prices, but potential up to $15 or more. This would be a very big boost, especially when we are putting only profits into sbi.

Automate

You guys have seen our bot have to take a few hours out of a day before just to revive VP, and we know it’s bothersome for you. It’s bothersome for us as well, but in order to keep VP at a respectable number it had to be done. With automation out, no longer do we run the risk of having to solely hope on 3rd party software but instead can rely on ourselves. This will allow no more missed upvotes, having the other software down, as well as notifying us how much sp we need exactly to not lose vp. All of this is thanks to automation, and with it our time can be much better spent. Currently, I spend about 7 hours a day working on the bot and making sure our clients (you guys) are happy. This can involve looking for more sp, making sure %’s are correct, making sure upvotes are happening and etc. Allowing automation to do this job for us, we are now allowed much more freedom to get to know our community better and tend to your needs easier.

Continuation of Higher Tiers

We have just added in tier 3, and it definitely won’t be our last tier. We are currently only able to target minnows as many of the bigger guys don’t care for these small upvotes. Well this is of course known, and as such we must try to increase our target audience. By adding more tiers, we can give you guys much more flexibility, thus allowing our bot to prosper more. We can easily be expecting 2 more tiers by December end, and will most likely be capping tiers at tier 8.

There are many other plans as well, but as they are in the works they will be shared as we ourselves have more information to gice out. Thanks for supporting IncinBot, and we hope you stay with us!
