Hey buddy, that video was amazing, if I was there I think I would have had to empty out my wallet and give it to the guy, that was truly amazing.

While it looks like the posts are earning I think I spent more money in steem dollars to get the upvotes and promotion than I earned so I think I lost $5 or $10 on each post. That said I've been noticing my followers growing and have some bigger accounts following so I'm kinda looking it as a loss leader. I figure whatever builds up in steem power is my profit, anything liquid in steem or steem dollars i'm just gonna spend it all on promoting my posts. hoping in the long run my posts will start organically performing better and it will be worth it.

I've never really gotten into the inner workings of steemit and all the apps too much but discovered this cool site today that shows you upvote bots, how they are paying out and allows you to bid right within the app. just tried it today so much easier than always having to google to find a steemit article about what good upvote bots to use, then you use some and get nothing for it. this site is pretty cool
