My Favorite Steemit UpVote Bots

in #upvote7 years ago (edited)

What in the world is an up vote bot?

It appears that some people with skills have create a way for an account to receive designated amounts of Steem or SBD and then go and cast an up vote for a given post or comment. If you are a complete noob like me then figuring this out is a challenge. Most of the bots give you very vague information or change it regularly. They almost all forget to explain in detail how to do any of the stuff that you need to do to get their upvote. They assume you know the basics when most people who would need to use their services are new or newer to the #steemit platform. In the next paragraph I will describe how to interact with most of the up vote bots that I have found thus far. If you keep reading below I'll put a list of my favorites upvote bots at the bottom.

You think you found an upvote bot now what?

Most of the upvote bots I'm going to share use the same exact method which is good news. The upvote bot will be a name just like any other account. My account name for example is @binkley. You might find my favorite up vote bot by visiting @discordia. This might make them hard to find as I have not found a concise list and how to on Steemit until this post. If you are sure you have the correct bot name then you will want to double and triple check the spelling. You are about to send some money usually SBD but some take Steem as well. Generally there is no refunds with any of these so be careful and only use reputable up vote bots.
Navigate to your profile picture and left click...

Then navigate to to your wallet.

Once in your wallet you will see on the right hand side Steem Steem Power and *Steem Dollars. and Steem Savings.

You are going to want to hover your mouse over the little arrow pointing down by the Steem Dollar amount. This will open a pop up with clickables. You should see Transfer left click this one. It will bring up a transfer wizard basically.

Now that you are in Transfer to Account you can move funds easily from your account to another account without any fees!

To me the best thing about Steemit! No Fees for transfers internally!
You will want to leave the "from text field" alone as this is you. You will put the name of the up vote bot in the To Field The wizard already has the @ sign built in so you will just need the name of the account the bot uses. This is the tricky part. Often their are so many names associated with the bot that people can easily get confused and send the money to the wrong account. Typos will kill you as most people will not refund your money if you send it to the wrong name. One that tricks a lot of people is @Randowhale. I simply stopped using because it was so easy for me to type @Randomwhale and not catch it. If you look at my account https://steemit.com/@binkley my name displays as Eric Binkley so be careful you are sending to @binkley if you send me donations for this post. And when your are sending to the bots be sure you are sending to their wallet address. Most Good Up Vote Bots Should Display This In Their Description/Bio.

This Is REALLY Important and no one tells you this but I will now....The memo text field of the transfer wizard is where you place the link to your post you want up voted. I navigate to my profile picture, left click blog then click on my post and open the page. Then from here I highlight the whole webpage URL and right click and copy it. I find it helpful to have 2 tabs open to do the transfer. One I use just for the transfer wizard and the other for double checking I have the correct bot name and correct post url to be place in the memo.

You could use my strategy to up vote other people's content from time to time not just your own. The strategy works well to get you more followers and more up votes on your posts. It can get expensive if using $2 @randowhale so some of the smaller ones is recommended for this until you build up some SBD. Some of the smaller upvote bots only charge like 0.100 so you can get 10 up votes for a buck. It shows people you care about the community plus people usually appreciate it and will pay it forward back to you or someone else. Giving Is Good!

Usually I double my SBD ......USUALLY But Not Always!

It really depends on how much voting power the bot has left. For new people this might not be easy to figure out. I found a quick way to get stats on everyone....I visit www.Steemd.com then I simply add this at the end of the .com/@binkley or whichever bot you are using. So www.Steemd.com/@discordia.

It shows me that my investment isn't going to be wasted if they have 100% power. Most split their votes between the people requesting. So you don't get their full SBD per up vote usually.Sometimes you get lucky or the guys or gals that created the bot will use their personal accounts to come by and visit also. Many are part of the @minnowsupportpreject or just super nice whales that care about the growth of the #steemit community.

This has picture has never been more beautiful ;) lol

Hi, thank you for putting effort to create such a good content. Upvoted and followed.

I read your post, watched number of youtube videos and read few other articles about steemit bots and Im still a little bit confused.
Assuming that Im just a new user with very few followers and Im planning to build some content (hopefully interesting).
Should I try to use bots as soon as post is being published or as late as possible?

Please advise

Many things have changed in this area. I would wait about 1 hour to allow my friends to curate and then call for the Promotion Bots. As curators share in the rewards of the total earnings of a post. The first day is highly advised now with anything beyond 3.5 days often being a notice to flaggers to examine your post as possible spam. Early is better and safer. Some have argued that using promotion services is bad. I don't know any great writer that would not promote their content.

Thank you for such an informative reply. I totally appreciate.

I have never heard of @treeplanter and @bellyrub. Will definitely try them.

Thanks for the list :)

Well most people don't know about them.

Thank you for the support. This post is my best one yet. I know it is controversial to use up vote bots but it has helped a lot of new folks grow a little bit faster than normal I think. The more demand for Steem the better.

Why are you trying to brainwash me?

Lol you are too funny.

I know right! So what do you care about the economic situation in England.

How bad is it over there? The USA isn't great like it used to be fairly fantastic. Economically speaking one could make a living and more if he or she worked rather diligently.

When will #steemit incorporate the chat to the side like the dreaded F word and now even youtube is doing it?

I'm a cop and you will respect my authoritah!!!
