Powering Up - Account Builder Post #5
Being that is the plan we took all Steem and SBD currently held and powered up the account. As of today thanks to a couple donations mentions in the 4th Account Builder Post the @pifc account is now up to 13.099 SP. I'm happy with this initial growth and looking forward to see what we can accomplish over the next few weeks.
Still not looking for direct delegations yet. SBD or Steem to use for powing up, votes (lots of votes), SBI Shares, and maybe a Dust Sweeper gift.
Posting Every Couple Days
Right now the plan is to post an Account Builder Post every couple days. So if you use an autovoter you know that you will be giving a vote every other day give or take. Think this is a reasonable amount of votes to ask for during the power up stage without really effecting anyone's voting power to much. If someone wants to vote more then this just look at the comments made by pifc and there will be plenty to vote on.
Steem Basic Income
Quick reminder for anyone that has SBI shares you can get an increased vote from SBI by giving votes to their posts and comments. Currently they are giving a 100% increase in your vote power if you upvote at 100% power 16 times in a month. It's all calculated on a rolling time frame.
Now if you only vote at 50% power for 16 times you will get a 50% bonus to your vote. Vote at 100% 8 times and it's a 50% bonus to your vote. To be clear that bonus is a multiplier. That is if your vote would have been worth 0.02 and you earned the 100% bonus then your are at 0.04 per vote. This can really add up based on how many share of SBI you have.
Are you looking to get more SBI shares? If so you can always purchase SBI for @pifc and for each share you purchase you get one at the same time. This is a great way to give as it's a win-win for whoever is giving the shares.
Dust Sweeper
Was thinking that as I use this account more to allow for increased growth there will be some dust votes created. If anyone is interested in doing a direct donation for @dustsweeper account that would be great. The votes from @dustsweeper are slightly profitable so any amount given will allow for a small added bonus over the amount you give over time.
I wrote about Dust Sweeper in case you don't know about the service offered by @davemccoy and @danielsaori.
Thank You!
As always thank you for all your support in helping get this account off the ground and expect the next post to come in a couple days.
I would suggest splitting the voting power and giving 5 upvotes a day to people in the pay it forward contest. You want and need these folks to upvote this page as often as possible and share it. It will grow faster than simply upvoting in this manner. You already have a base for visitors in the contest.
50/50 is more realistic to what will happen as I can't help but to upvote others. It has been suggested to me a few times that I should target 100% self vote until the contests start. The biggest issue is the votes are dust so unless someone uses Dust Sweeper the votes will be wasted.
So I still can upvote from my main account to those who comment here and that will actually pay out vs the .002 cent vote give or take that PIFC has right now. Either way doesn't make much difference as 1 extra upvote from someone equal to the voting power you have probably is equal to 4 weeks of self voting for pifc...lol.
Startup @dustsweeper account should be on the way, I know it will help.
Thank you! It already arrived. They are fast!!
When you start using the account to comment on smaller accounts, and they give you a vote it will help build both pifc, and the vote giver, by giving them a curration reward. A win win. I am not make money hand over fist from it, but I am making and getting more rewards than ever before, so I am very happy with it.
The small votes add up over time. The part I like the best is knowing that there is a set amount I can expect to come in from each post.
To me it would be ideal for there to be over $1 in SBI rewards per post. This will take a ton of shares, but at that point giving away a share per post becomes a break even deal....or close enough due to curation. So doing small simple comment style contest for a share will be possible.
Sprinkling a little dust for you to get upvoted...lol.
You will really see the effect when the @pifc account starts to visit all the new user pages, and gives a vote, and leaves a comment, and then gets a thank you vote and comment back. They add up pretty fast. Thanks for the vote, my advertising tag worked. ;-}
So the this comment is protected by @dustsweeper is just to let people know it's ok to leave you a dust vote? Did they suggest that or did you come up with it? First time I noticed it...great idea!
Something I thought up yesterday or day before, trying to get the word out unobtrusively, and I liked how the red and green worked out, like a christmas season colors, so giving that extra little spark to it
Might have to steal that idea from you! I like that it confirms to people that the vote won't be wasted after spending so much time telling people that dust votes aren't counted.
Feel like Dust Sweeper should pay you a marketing fee for putting that on every comment ;)
Nice job @bashadow. If no one has told you yet today, you really are awesome :)
Thank you, just trying to help where and when I can. I had a tad extra so helped get started.
Followed and autovote set.
Thanks for the information on SBI voting; I've changed the percentage in steemauto because of it.
Once you have enough shares it really can make a difference to get a 100% bonus.
Just learned that 200 shares with a 100% bonus is worth a $1 upvote if you post daily, or $7 per week split up if you post less/more. So this is a good target to hit for SBI in my opinion.
Again a great idea of @thedarkhorse!
I'll support @pifc as good as I can.
Steem on!!!
Thank you sir! You have been a supporter for a long time and it's appreciated.
