These are the tags (categories) where you can get the best payout per post!

As in every adventure I pursue, I like to take a look at the stats. They can tell a lot of things and if you know where to look, stats can be a gold mine. The same for steemit. There are a lot of statistics that one must follow, but I think that very few of you have ever thought what are the tags (categories) where the average payout is the best.

Disclaimer: I don't think that you have to strictly post in the category with the best payouts, as the value your post brings is your most important asset. So as long as your post is valuable, the steemit community will notice it.

Now, let's get to the numbers. I downloaded the official steemit tags table, put them into an Excel and calculated the average payout for each category.

Here are the first categories sorted by the average post SBD payout.

As you can see, the most popular tags with the best average payouts are:

• steemfest
• bitshares
• steem-help
• curation
• security
• introduceyourself*
• poloniex
• marketing
• beyondbitcoin
• anarchism
• stats
• steem
• economics
  etc.
