Food for Thought

I have been a part of the steemit community for
two months now.
I have made many mistakes on this website as 
I tried to find my audience, friends, and niche. 
I have yet to try the Promoted area of the website to 
test its results for my posts. I might use this post 
to test the Promoted area.
 I have begun to use the upvote bots 
and any bot that I can find to promote my posts 
and of course ROI. Here are a few mistakes 
I have made and hopefully you can learn
 from me and avoid them if you
are a newbie Steemian. 

• Bidding up votes from bots are a risky thing. 
I think the bots have the  mind state that you are 
paying strictly for the up vote and nothing more. 
Although, you can make a small profit with up votes bots 
it is about how you bid. 
So, bid wisely!!!
 A horrible thing to do is pay for an up vote 
that will only match how much you pay for the up vote.

For example, you pay 10 SBD for an upvote worth 10 SBD.  
You have around 7.5 SP or 3.75 SBD and 3.75 SP because 
there is a 75% author 25% curator split.  
Organic upvotes are best because it is sincere or accidental. 
Best of all they are from someone viewing your post and it’s free. 
If a bot/someone with no activity on their History 
offer to upvote you for a fee because they see you are 
using upvote bots; ask yourself?  Is this a red flag? 
Why should they contact you and expect you to trust 
them and they are not willing to put their up vote on you? 

DO NOT POST B.S and expect everyone to upvote it. 
Some people will up vote it if it serves a purpose 
and even follow you. That is when you have 
found your true niche’.
