ForTheLoveOfBands has now been actively upvoting and curating quality indie content for about 7 weeks. Let's give you another update :-) It's great to see this much engagement and new delegations are coming in almost daily. That's awesome!

1. What is #FTLOB worth?

Due to the drop in value of STEEM, our upvote is worth a little less than last week, but thanks to last weeks delegations by @cinelonga, @jeffandhisguitar, @nakedverse, @rizkydemora, @samprock, @spawnband, @davenavarro and @ralfdee our total SP has increased!

@ftlob's combined SP is currently 2,419.40 SP ( 172.61 + 2,246.78 ). A 100% upvote with 100% VP is currently worth $0,47.

2. Tiers, delegators and users

The #ftlob tag is free to use for everybody, but your rewards will increase if you delegate, follow or otherwise engage. The table below will explain all different tiers and upvote percentages.

**The percentages are subject to change, as more Steemians use ftlob. We'll update you in future posts about this or you can join our Discord for updates.
**If you're somehow placed in the wrong tier, contact us on Discord
***Maximum of 1 upvote per day per account

If you want to continue to get upvotes in tier D-0, make sure to upvote our posts at least 7 times a week at 100% (or $0.03) :-)

You'll also climb the tier ladder a bit in the process, it's all about engagement so it's important to reward you for it. Just check our blog daily to make sure you don't miss a post. You can also become a fan of FTLOB via Steemauto.com. Simply click 'Fanbase' once logged in and search for 'ftlob'.

Set upvote percentage at 100%, you can leave 'time to wait' at default. We won't post more than 2 posts a day, so daily limit doesn't really matter but if you only want to upvote once a day, set it at 1.

We'll check via MySteemitFriends.online whether you've actually upvoted our posts.

3. How to get an upvote and our attention?

• Follow @ftlob;
• Add #ftlob as a tag to your music related posts. We don't upvote non-musical content;
• Add a link to our Discord to make sure we don't miss your post. Feel free to invite your friends (see rewards at the bottom of this post) :-)

Also, a few times (mostly) a week we publish a Daily DTube & DSound Discoveries series highlighting awesome new sounds recently published by Steemian artists. Interact with these posts to earn $INDIE and to be on our radar for future series.

4. How you can increase your rewards

Anyone using the #ftlob tag, will receive a 01% upvote. Become a Fan to receive a 05% upvote and if you choose to delegate to @ftlob you'll receive even bigger rewards (see table above) + 1 $INDIE token per 1 SP delegated. e.g. 50 SP equals 50 $INDIE distributed monthly.

Simply enter your @ username at SteemBotTracker to manage your delegations and add new ones. Please note the amount you enter, is your total new amount.
