50 Days on Steemit | My Experience
So 50 days ago I decided to sign up on Steemit just to get a better understanding on this STEEM cryptocurrency after hearing @jerrybanfield talk about it on his youtube channel.
As a semi-professional sports bettor, I planned on using steemit as a blog to post some of my bets and other sports betting related content. My Introduction Post quickly got 15 replies and a 0.17$ post reward thanks to @joele and @najs1crypto ! It did not take long for me to get totally hooked on this highly gamified platform and I saw big potential in what it could offer to the online betting community.
The 12 post combined after my introduction made a total post earning of 0.00$. Making money here never has been my short term priority and I did not even look at those numbers or get discouraged in any way. I did learn that voting power is essential and how 1 whale upvote is worth far more than 100 minnow upvotes. The first real supports I got was from @nicnas who is another serious sports bettor here on Steemit. As a way to increase my voting power I started participating is all kinds of contests and managed to win 26 STEEM and 49.919 SBD with these the last 50 days from contest hosted by @tytran, @sportspicker, @alimtl2011, @mohammad32, @jaki01, @artz, @nicnas, @miniature-tiger, @cranium, @sportsncoffee and @carlosdaniel
Thanks !
I bought 200 Steem and Powered Up to basically upvote my own posts along with 50 SBD to start hosting my own EPL Betting Contest to get more a bit more exposure on steemit. I started making some Betting related articles and received a 3.76$ post payout on my Gambling Psychology article thanks to @jaki01.
Starting my own contest was more difficult than I anticipated. Giving away 5 SBD with plenty of days to enter only reached 6 contestant including myself and a 0.26$ post payout. Thanks to @tzap90 , @hashcloud, @schumame, @lcst and @stickchumpion for participating ! Right now in week 5 the contest has grown to around 30 contestants with currently a 3.60$ post payout thanks to @flameburst and a contest prize pool which is currently 15.935 SBD.
Since steemit is extremely heavy on cryptocurrency content I also started covering Sports Betting related Blockchain projects and will be making a weekly update on the latses news in this segment of the market along with a portfolio update to track how they are doing.
