It's Simple... Promote This Post To Get Your Post Listed On This Post!
Promoted Content Experiment
Since the cost of getting your content to the top of the promoted tab is already growing up and beyond $100 STEEM DOLLARS... I thought it might be cool to create a new type of post, a post that would promote multiple users content while sharing the promotion costs.

HOW TO

  • Starting at $1 STEEM DOLLAR - Simply Promote This Post. (Once Per User)
  • I will post the link you provide via a comment below
  • Posts will be listed from highest paid contributor and down
  • I will cut the list off at some point... depending on popularity.
  • Give me 10-15 Minutes to place your link on the list.
    PM me: @blueorgy on http://Steemit.Chat if you need help.

That's the idea, You're Up!

As I have been watching for Post Promotes I've noticed a lot of users trying to promote their own posts with $1 or less and I do hope they know even at this early stage in the promoted tab this little amount will do absolutely nothing to help "promote" their posts! You need at least $20-$40 to get on the front page and a low amount like a $1 will get you on page 40 or so (essentially buried). This post makes even more sense and possible future posts like it for users who would like to promote but can't afford the $100 price tag. Lets pool the effort and share the costs and get your post actually seen. Of course at a point if the post contributors get too large it you could be lost once again but thats something this experiment may find out.

This is a great idea, I'm loving all of these efforts to help post visibility :)
Low cost promo wont get you to the unfiltered front page, however it can get you visibility on lots of the category pages like /promoted/fiction , and I make an effort to support new user micropromotions I see go past on steemviz .

I've been trying to do a heap myself when I see undervalued quality content in categories where nobody else is promoting yet.. Sometimes you can get a post visible in 5 different categories for a tenth of a cent - feels like a pretty good deal to me :)

It will be more interesting if all people who promote this post to upvote each other post​. At least this time.
I already upvoted the people who promote this post! At least this is how a group must help each other.

haha, i was halfway through the list when I saw your post :) I learned a lot

It happened to me too today. I was reading someone post, and he writes me on chat that he Upvoted my post. Now you tell me this. Lol man.

Interesting idea and experiment, I'm in with a dollar... and I'm also looking for "test subjects"... :)

https://steemit.com/steemit/@cryptos/looking-for-more-test-subjects-no-i-m-still-not-kidding

If more people are sending the same amount I assume that the first sender will be listed the first. Or?

Yes I believe this would be fair

I will promote it to for 2.397 if you will give me and Upvote! I just want that you will upvote my post one time to see what happens! You can promote wich one you like from the last 2 posts!

Haha Sure!

OK. I'll play (though converting back from Steem in a dead market is annoying). Please add my son's post https://steemit.com/science/@herpetologyguy/this-is-not-a-prison-why-zoos-are-hugely-beneficial-for-animals for $3.25

This brings up a question, Do we want the user who paid to promote the post or the user who's post is listed?

I was sort of expecting his name (herpetologyguy) instead of mine. I'd have a minor preference for that -- but it's no big deal either way . . . . ;-)

Great idea hope you repeat that, spend all my SBD today for promoting my own post.

Interesting idea! To take part in this experiment I promoted this post with 4$. Please put my most recent post to the list using " The Breitach - a perpetual stone saw" as title. Thx!

Its up! & We are moving closer to the top of the promoted page already!

I promoted for $2

Here's a post you should promote!

In your post, could you title my post "A New Internet", instead of my really long title? Thanks.

No Problem!

@blueorgy, like the idea I will throw my hat in the ring for couple bucks because I will literally pay people to read this post. It's a big issue in America and only growing.

Very interesting idea, I may try this in due diligence, cheers!

well when you're ready just promote and ill get the link up ;)

unclear what happenes with the money from your post? are yousharing %promoting investment?

Promoting a post doesn't give it any money so...

no i mean. are you sharing the sbd in proportion to how much each invested? :)
Also, this certainly didn't go as planned! but at least we got an answer.

3$ for https://steemit.com/tag/@razvanelulmarin/note-to-self-don-t just becaue i think that's a cool idea and i'm curious as to what the results will be.

My thinking is this; needs to be clear what you do with the payout.

  1. You really need to read before you add the links so you know what you are promoting. refuse someone's link an return the money if needed.

Very good point!

Well... I can't return the money because it doesn't go to me...

Have to think about this one

unsure why you say that? you'll just deduct it from what the post makes.

Well seems unfair since I was thinking about splitting rewards by % to users who promoted the post

just because someone tries to promote bad content doesn't mean everyone should have to pay for it

Also say they try to promote with $100 and the post makes $10...

We also appreciate your idea! This is why we are on your list! Maybe with a little effort this could become one recognised daily service!

I upvoted all of you! (Don't worry, still upvoting with 90%!) This is a fun idea, and I hope we make it to the top! @blueorgy @shaka @herpetologyguy @prufarchy @knozaki2015 @razvanelulmarin @the-future @scaredycatguide @heretickitten @steemhost @steemswede

I like a good ol' fashioned experiment, great idea. Promoted for 3, Here's my offering: https://steemit.com/poetry/@prufarchy/although-original
