RE: What's Up With Steemit Society?
"I just immediately signed up for Steemit when I heard earn. No questions asked."
Haha I think I googled "is steemit a scam" first but I pretty much did the same. I don't have a ton of skills that anyone wants to pay me to use but I can go on and on in text lol.
Oh wow thank you for sposoring me. You didn't blow your money. I have been quietly buying shares for people for a while and now my second largest upvoter (usually) is steembasicincome. It isn't a life changing upvote but it does work out to a pretty okay upvote if you have a nice handful of shares (I sponsored you for two more this week, speaking of). Right now, I think I get about .25 on every post so if the price ever goes back up, that should work out to a pretty good vote.
Congrats on getting paid for your hard work.
Wow thanks for sponsoring me! So you can repeatedly sponsor someone, right? I think there's like 100 limit to shares or something. I have to read about steembasicincome again.
I don't fully understand how they calculate the upvote but it is based on your number of shares and how often you post plus a bonus if you upvote posts from the steembasicincome account (they only post like every two days so it isn't spammy or anything).
You can have 100 shares in each pool. There are like 9 pools and 9 accounts so if you have 100 in the steembasicincome pool and you get another 5 or 10 you would get a big vote from the pool that has more of your shares and a smaller one from the other pool. So you would get a 5 or 10 share vote from an account named sbi3 or something plus your big 100 share vote from steembasicincome.
It is a bit complicated though and I don't really understand it completely but it seems to work. The votes aren't giant but they always seem to come through and they always make sure that I get a minimum payout on whatever I post.
Some people run easy contests to win shares too. That is where I got a good portion of mine. Those might be worth checking out if you are bored and just clicking around on the internet to kill time or something lol.
Okay when I was reading about steembasicincome last night, it was kind of hard for me to understand haha. But you explain it well! Anyway, now I see that I have an upvote from steemitbasicincome, maybe that was from you guys. They also replied that I didn't blow my steem lol.
I just realized that I shamelessly announced here my good deed lol. I just hope to attract more people to upvote, some writers I follow are not posting anymore.
I have bought you and keniza like 15 or there abouts each and maybe 10 for a few other people and a handful of single ones. I know I have seen someone else send off for shares for you too though but I can't remember who it was. I buy them for people who I talk to a lot. I figure I can give more that way than I can with my little upvote.
So it is good to invest more in steembasicincome then? Hmm, Ok I'll put more steem. I don't have a lot to upvote these days. I need to find some time to search for more authors. I checked out those you recommended and I put some of then on autoupvote. Sometimes I get busy that I don't even use my upvote.
It doesn't pay out a ton but I think it is better to spend the 1 steem on that every now and then than it is to gamble on a resteem or somethings. There are probably easier ways to make money here but it lets you help a person while you also help yourself a little bit.
This is good.
