Steem School EP 19 - 2 More Options to Get Cash With Steemfollower
In this episode, I will tell you what else you can do with all your Steemfollower points!
Yesterday I wrote how to sign up on Steemfollower and how it works. Essentially it is an advanced upvote exchange application where you get paid for your upvotes!
If you are not using Steemfollower already then I recommend that you read the guide that I wrote yesterday!
Let's get started with the most valuable time of all times...
SteemFollower Points & More
After using Steemfollower for a couple of days or months you will have accumulated a lot of points (also depends on your Steem Power).
A person that has a $10 upvote who uses that upvote 5 times per day on Steemfollower (5 upvotes a day are required to receive upvotes in return) will get more points than someone who only has a $0.01 upvote.
However, both persons get paid for their upvote, and not using Steemfollower means missing out on a good money making option!
Points = The amount of cash you will get in upvotes for upvoting other people!
Now you understand the points system, and to gather as many points as possible you have to vote every day and I highly recommend that you do that.
You can also vote more than 5x per day which I however not recommend because you also want to upvote people in your comment section and the posts of your friends and favorite Steemians!
Read my post from yesterday for more fundamental information about Steemfollower.
Using Your Points #1 - Promotion!
With all the points that you have gathered over time, you can promote your posts! On the right side of the manual curation page, you will see a promotion option.
You can select 2-5x promotion, I guess that means that you pay 2x-5x in points to get upvotes.
The posts with the stars that you see on the post thumbnails are promoted posts and the more someone pays for their promotion (5x is the highest) the higher they will be on the list.
A post that has a star with a 5 on it is very rare, however, that post would be 1st on the list and he would quickly receive a lot of upvotes.
And the good news is: He never paid for that! All he did was upvoting other people (for which he also gets curation cash of course).
So besides trading upvotes, you can also use Steemfollower to promote your posts! It is like buying yourself into the trending section of a tag.
Your post will be promoted for a day till the time hits 01:00 CET!
At that time (or later) you will have to upvote 5 other posts again to receive upvotes and to use the promotion function of Steemfollower!
Using Your Points #2 - The Steemfollower Market
To use the Steemfollower Market you just click on the market and send a certain amount of SBDs to @Mahdiyari (If I remember correctly).
I remember it being a super low amount of SBDs (0.001 SBD).
I don't know if that has changed, however, even if it would cost 10 SBD it would still be worth it (I hope Mahdiyari doesn't read that).
So what you can do with the Steemfollower market is selling your points for SBDs!
The best offers are always shown on the top and I highly recommend that you guys abstain from making your offers cheaper and cheaper just to be on the top because you will lose money like that.
Orientate yourself after the current Steem Dollar price!
if 1 Steem Dollar is for example worth 1 USD then you will want to sell points worth 1 SBD for 1 SBD!
You will not get the exact amount as a little portion goes to Mahdiyari (which he deserves for maintaining the websites and the market).
I sold points worth 10 SBD yesterday and I got those after they were on the market for 5 hours.
It will take longer to get those SBD through upvotes of others as a post naturally needs 7 days to be paid out.
And that was the 2nd option to get even more cash on Steemfollower!
Conclusion
You can use your points to promote your posts and to sell them on the Steemfollower market for SBD. I really like the market option because like that I don't have to wait over 1-7 days (depending on how old your post is) to get the cash for your points (in upvotes on your post).
Tomorrow I will show you guys a third option to make money with Steemfollower which is ignored by most people as it ain't easy to make money with it (but totally worth it)!
Get More & Higher Upvotes: Steemfollower
Convert your Bitcoin to EUR/USD (Europe): Wirex
SteemSchool Discord Community: Discord

This is definitely a great way to earn more. As you mentioned, you could even go on to make more money just by the referral program.
I wonder when did you start out on Steemfollower. You seem to have more points.
Also, if I haven't posted anything on Steemit for a week but just use steemfollower for upvoting others, how would I get back votes?
You will not get upvotes if you don't have posts to upvote, however, you can still gather points in case you start posting at some point.
Thanks. However, if I don't have the voting power for making 5 votes. How would I get points because VP is 0? Any thoughts?
I was never quite sure about the multiplier feature but have just tried x3 so am looking forward to the results. I have already seen a difference after 15 minutes! Awesome.
Cancel the 3x and take the 2x asap to lose fewer points and still get more upvotes.
Done Thanks
The mystery of the promote option is finally clear to me! I always wonder what it is, but I'm too afraid to use it because of my low sp and that red warning sign. To think I'm missing out a lot because I didn't use it. Now that I'm cleared about it I think I'll study that function some more. Informative article as always. Thanks for clearing up my confusion. Have a great day.
How many points do you have in Steemfollower Riovanes? And do you upvote 5 posts on a daily basis?
I haven't been upvoting daily this week as I'm trying to recover my VP so I'm out of points, but I did start again today. Speaking of which how much points do I need to get my post promoted? Thanks in advance.
If you have points you can use the promote function if you don't have points you can not use it, I don't know the exact amount of points required to use the promo.
My guess is that 2x promotion is possible with 2 points.
I'll be revisiting all your videos on steemfollower, very interesting stuff.
It adds a good amount of cash to your posts if used properly.
