[Introducing SteemBoost] – The First Available System used for Boosting Your STEEM Story
SteemBoost is one of the most expected new tool for STEEM users.
You can use starting today this powerful system to increase the exposure of your #steemit posts and to discover new great authors in the wonderful world of blockchain. For the last 3 weeks we worked hard to write the code, test, retest and design and now we are ready for this awesome day! The launch day!
Here we are, ready to Boost some STEEM Posts, ready to complete the #steemtools with our work and most of all, ready to receive your warm welcome in #introduceyourself.
Due to possible misunderstanding of our platform we need to start with this alert:
!!! STEEMBOOST WILL NOT FORCE YOU UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TO VOTE FOR A POST OR TO COMMENT. IT IS NOT A VOTE EXCHANGE OR COMMENT EXCHANGE. IT IS JUST ONE DECENT TOOL YOU CAN USE TO PROMOTE FOR FREE YOUR STEEM POST!!!
SteemBoost - How does it work?
You create a new account on SteemBoost.com (We recommend you to use your STEEM username at signup - you will find out why at the end of the article)
You login in your new created account and you start using the Steem Booster!
When you are reading or sharing other SteemBoost users Post you will receive Boost Points. The Boost Points are the internal sharing points that you can use later to Boost your Posts. When you have minimum 50 Boost Points you can start boosting your post! When you want to give your Posts a Boost you will pay 2 Boost Points to people that are reading or decide how much you want to pay them for sharing your Post on Facebook. It is basically one fair deal:
You read/share others post, others read/share your posts!
To celebrate our launch, each new user will get 5 Boost Points at sign up.
The service just incentivizes users to read specific posts on Steemit, not to vote or to comment for them, you can of course do that if you like the post, but it is up to you and you are still getting a point just for reading the post.
This is the first version of the system and we hope you will start using it and help us test it’s functionality and report any bugs.
The features of the system include now:
- Reading Exchange
- Facebook Sharing
- Point Transfer
- Visual Graph Representation (for Hits and Points)
- Referral System (you get 100 Boost Points for each referred sign up)
SteemBoost is functional on any device. You can use it on any desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile.
Some of the benefits you will get by using SteemBoost ver 0.1 :
- Real STEEM users will now easily discover your posts
- More people will share your post link on Facebook
The next version will include:
- New membership features
- Other Social Sharing options
- Boost Points monetisation (you will be able to buy and sell your points for STEEM and Steem Dollars)

More than 5 Boost Points BONUS

You can use the support area from your account to send us info about any bugs or give us any idea about how to improve the system.

Explanation for high upvote : https://steemit.com/steem/@transisto/temporarily-pausing-my-anti-abuse-efforts-while-sbd-is-off-the-chart
The site won't let me sign up, but I do have a few questions:
How does this model differ from traffic-exchanges?
Do you need to vote to earn 'steemboost points'?
If its a vote-4-vote system, how does this create anything but spam for Steemit?
I don't know why you can not sign up. Please explain! The website is a dedicated traffic exchange but dedicated for steemit posts. We like to call it a "reading exchange". You can easily discover new posts that people want to promote using Boost points. You don't need to vote for Steem Points. You vote or share only if you like the content.
I am curious to see how this will work when multiple people get on and use it, but I guess it can't be any worse than occasionally shouting out your story on the steemit.chat post promotion channel.
Just as a question of clarification after testing a few things out. The only post I see on the boost list is this announcement post. Will this be appear as stream of posts once more users join? What will determine the order those are displayed to me? Boost points?
Thanks for the feedback!The system is fresh! As long as users will sign in and will post links, more links will be available!
6 HOUR UPDATE: After 6 hours from the fresh start we have the first update:
-You will get 5 Boost Points when you sign up
-You need at least 50 points in your account for your story to be listed on Steem Booster after the manual approval
-You pay 2 Boost Points each time another user is reading your post
-You earn 1 Boost Point when you read a story
-You need at least 100 Points in your account to post your links in the Facebook Share list. You will decide how many points you want to spend /share
-You don't need to vote for the story but you can vote if you like it (this is about discovering new interesting posts)
-Read our post and find out why it is important to Follow @steemboost
Thank you!
Thanks, great work, I will try it!
Register didn't seem to work. It says Account Is Already Registered On This IP. even though I opened it first time.
First bug detected! Thank you! Can you please tell me you OS and Browser used? Thanks!
Windows 10, Chrome.
Thank you! We will investigate and let you know when fixed!
@steemboost, It looks like this is good and should be tried.
but I am a bit do not understand.
Can you tell us a little more detail to me, so I can use it well.
I signed up and followed you but how did the fists user get to 50 points if no1 can share content before 35 reads?
Some users have a lot of points! In the first 6 hours we offered 100 Boost Points as a sign up bonus. Another option is to reffer new users. You will get 100 Points!
Great work! A healthy way to encourage user engagement =D
Thanks!
I like the idea of not forcing a "vote", if such thing was ever implemented I'd totally disencourage it. Now, this is a guaranteed way of getting potential real readers (aka: NOT BOTS) into my Articles. Love it.
