What can @booster do with $10 SBD?
The sole purpose of this post is to see what @booster can do with 10 Steem dollars. I will be posting this blog and immediately sending 10 SBD to the @booster account.
Voting Bots - booooooo hissss?
Every day i read posts regarding how ethical voting bots are, why you should/shouldn't use them on your posts, someone else's posts. 'They are killing the platform', 'Self up-voting is low, get some real followers!'. Perhaps. One of the Steemit lords has recently had an apparent dig at @randowhale, so maybe the time is nearing the end for such ways to boost your blogs. Meanwhile, make the most of them in my opinion.
Rewards may vary
Most bots have a variable payout. Their Steem Power varies due to time of day (number of users sending cash to them), and they may also have additional calculations which vary the payout. You would hope however, that you gain a little monetary value for your investment. What you do gain is an up-vote (or more than one if the bot has a trail) and this up-vote is a reputation boost. I would consider this as just as important as the cash boost, in fact, if a break even on a bot vote, that will do me as i've just been reputation boosted.
The other bots
I use these bots on myself, and others when i see fit. My favourite is @lovejuice because of the idea behind it. See a post from a follower in need? Send them an up-vote via @lovejuice and let them know you are thinking of them. Love it.
@bellyrub
Probably more to find? Let me know if you see one!
Prepare for launch
Ok time for lift-off, lets see how we fare!
I'll be watching closely to see if can spot the exact value added by the @booster.........

And so here it is. the Post was at $5.11 before @booster, and now with a $10 SBD stake, we have $15.45.
$.44c 'profit', - 25% of the post value not coming to me = $2 cost for @booster!
That's not looking great really is it? Posted at 12:35pm GMT, a 'quite' time for the platfom. Think i'll have another go with a different amount tomorrow...

i made a booster-test last week where i don't recommend to bid more than 10 sbd for a vote by @booster. the ideal bid is something between 5-7 sbd, depending on the bids made in that round.

try to be one of the last bidders. check how high the bids are. are they at 12, 15, 20 or more than 20 sbd - don't bid! @booster won't be cost efficient at these levels. last week i found a very good biddinground, i bid a little bit more than 5 sbd and got a vote about $ 10!

@booster, @discordia and @bellyrub are voting in rounds for bids and it's very important to know how high the bids already are - so check out steemd.com. here for example steemd for @booster <- klick.

all these vote-bidding bots are becoming useless when too many users are bidding, and most people don't do their math...
I am sticking to minnowbooster (always an almost guaranteed 100% ROI) and rando (usually min 20%ROI)

Well, I personally use @discordia. It's better than most of it. But I think that in return we always recieve low value when we get our payouts. So, using them is not a wise choice but yes, they help to get us more exposure.

Exposure and a rep boost. You can't really put a monetary value on that. $2 SD for the service though seems a bit steep!

all self voting bots do is a small movement to minnows but for bigger amount ,i dont think its useful...steemit platfrom is way too complex to get huge traction.Either this got to be simplified or some one else will come with a similar platform but simpler

What are the complexities to you?
In my opinion, It's really not that hard to:
Sign up
Write content
Buy/Sell Steem
These are the basics but main things you want to make straight-forward?

The blogs u write needs to be promoted. There are several tools available. So those people who get well versed in these tools and spend time can be successful in this platform. U can argue that content creator needs to learn and spend time. But for the most folks who r consumers who donot have time or willingness to use the tools will get turned off from the platform due to reward system. These people wud be perfectly fine to use a non rewarding system like reddit but not paid platform

My Dear, i may be new here, but i can certainly say you dont know how effectively u can use a bot, just remember the higher amount u put, u will never get a better ROI, rather u just split that amount in two/three posts and just see the ROI will be much better, the graph of using money vs return from upvote rises, reaching a peak and then decreases, no matter how high u put into a bot, so as per my understanding you should put like 2/3 sbd in a post and then see the return will be more and of course the timing is also important. Timing in the sense when steemit is most active, dont use the bot at that time, because most of the people at that are rushing to use the bot, so at that time return will be certainly less. Of course apart from this different bot has different parameter to upvote, but with little research you can explore the trick. Thanks
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Thanks yes, time of day is important. I wasn't aware of ROI being better for a smaller amount with regards to booster. I usually send 2/3 and have had a much better return. Maybe i'll do another test with $5 and then $2 at the same time (12:30pm GMT) and see.......

I have also done several experiment with @booster, if you see the last two day's performance of booster, then it is different(worst) from what it has been before. But still it ia ranking top of the list if you compare with others, my worst experience is randowhale, people says its good, but i dont even get the breakeven. But with some analysis and research we can make it booster. Again i would suggest you not to go with 5sbd rather next time try with 3sbd, i am sure it will work.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Thanks man. I think @randowhale breaks even for me most of the time, but yeah most of the bots give you back what you put in (in $) if you get the deposit amount right. However, a $10 up-vote might boost you into 'hot' and will add some mVests/Rep.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
If you want your post to be in the hotlist , and/or mVests/Rep, i would suggest, go for 3 sbd @booster, 1sbd@minnowbooster, 1sbd@treeplanter, 0.5sbd@lovejuice,0.25sbd@bellyrub,[email protected] these altogether will get u that much amount against what you got today from @booster with 10 sbd and with this technique u can also reach your target. Thanks

I didn't know about @treeplanter - thanks.
@discordia seems ok too.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Yes @discordia i have heard its Okay, but i have never tried, tree planter if you put 1 sbd then u are certain to get 1.5 for sure, not much but very precise return just like minnowbooster, but with minnowbooster the problem is that per week we can only go for 7 sbd, so 1 sbd per day. Lets see, steemit is getting popularised very quickly, so we may see some further development of bots, which may offer a competitive market for steemian. But the the problem is that if we heavily rely upon bots, then we are nullifying the very objective of steemit, so i think we should focus on rich content along with that we should go for bots to give it push, if we realize that our content is really very very good and it should be put into hotlist. Thanks

Sending you some lovejuice because I am still regenerating my sp low. I'm with you brother, someone even commented on my latest post
She said that, and she preached to me about writing quality content and commenting others? LOL. Go have a look at my reply to her.
BTW booster is cool. It gives the 2.5 hours delay which is just fair. @promoted is also nice because the SBD gets burned. Anyway, each has its own advantages I guess. Let's find some balance around here.

Make them illegal and that would solve the dilemma on if to use them or not? Until that time, I think I'll continue for the reasons we have mentioned the last few days. I still think it trumps upvoting your own comments all day, and I don't think that will become illegal anytime soon.

Self up-voting comments, and still be good to 'promote' your own 3 hour masterpiece? It's tough to know what's right. Maybe the big players will leave if they can't gain easy interest on their huge investments? Maybe it would mean more interaction and better content.

Seems best to go for 2 - 7 $ Although the tools i've seen showed no profit on those at the time. Minnowbooster and randowhale look the best financially at present. A $10 / $20 booster bet will attract un-quantifiable attention though!

I spent 10SBD on @booster for a post and got about 6.2% upvote (big loss) maybe due to the time frame...for now minnowbooster is the best I used however its only 1SBD max ...I understand that we just want to use these bots to boost our posts however when booster sends in upvote after 2 hours then what is the need? cant they make it to upvote before 30Minutes after post is live?
