Nearly 4 months ago - after countless hours of development - smartsteem.com was officially launched.
We kept innovating and improving over these last few months, but one thing is still untouched:
Our Fundamental Values
Empowering Quality Content
Our vision is and always has been: to empower quality content on Steem.
Regardless, if that content is published via Steemit.com, Busy.org, utopian.io or d.tube.
We believe, that post-promotion (vote-buying) is a valuable tool for every steemian; as it gives the content-creator the power to reach more users, future readers and also possible curators.
But we want to make sure, that only great content and authors are able to use our services.
Only Great Content Allowed
We achieve this goal with our whitelist-system by manually reviewing users who want to promote their posts via smartsteem.com.
Based on strict guidelines, which are explained in detail below, the user receives a rating between 0 and 3 stars.
Depending on the received star rating, a user is eligible for the purchase of different amount of votes. Because we allow every vote-seller to decide to which star-rating his votes should be sold to.
We also blacklist abuse-users, which prevents the use of all services from smartsteem.com, in addition with a report to @steemcleaners.
And in extreme cases, votes will even be removed from those posts.
Review Guidelines
We innovated and developed a set of guidelines to effectively review steemians - these are called SmartStars Guidelines, which every reviewer has access to.
These guidelines are followed and are also getting refined by our reviewers - which are motivated steemians who have reviewed already over 1400 users.
8 Reviewers - 1400 reviewed Users
Making sure that only great content & users get whitelisted is quite a lot of work. To do that, we have a growing number of reviewers who reviewed over 1400 users so far.
Of those 1400 users - only 740 have been whitelisted. And we still have over 700 users waiting to be reviewed.
Our vision is that every active steemian knows about smartsteem.com and has been reviewed at least once.
If you want to help us to achieve this goal, then please join us on discord:
Do you have what it takes?
Do you want to get whitelisted as well?
Don't worry. It's really simple.
Just go to smartsteem.com and click on login.
Afterwards, click on your profile-image and then profile.
There you will find a big, blue button - called: Get Whitelisted.
A click on it, will reveal our simple application form.
Afterwards your status will be on pending, until our reviewers have reviewed your profile.
You will receive a notification-transfer when this happens.
But you can always check on your profile if you have been reviewed.
If you are not happy with your result - don't worry. You are able to request a re-review after 1 month.
Simply ask us on discord:
Earn with SmartSteem
We are doing all this to ensure, that the votes from our vote-sellers and the steempower from our delegators are only getting used for great content, authors and contributors.
But we also take pride in offering the most profitable services for investors on Steem.
Which means: if you want to earn the most out of your steempower, then go to smartsteem.com and read our post Two Ways to Earn With SmartSteem: Do the Smart Thing!
If there are still questions left - then please join us on discord: https://discord.gg/srHEUuk
Disclaimer: This post has been up-voted via @smartsteem and all delegators have been credited accordingly.
@smartsteem you should also create a mechanism how to report some abusers are still bidding and promoting spams ,There should be communication between Bot ownership and steem community so that we do our effor to find the spammers

Nowadays, there are so many argument in #kr(korea community) about self-voting to earn steem in a bad way :(
To solve this proeblem, there is Steemmano in #kr. but it operate manually not smartsteem-like.
I think this will be a solution.
I will frequently promote this App to #kr steemian!!!

Hey @theskim, vote-selling is a great way to earn SBD & STEEM. You will also earn curation. However, it's important to note that we have already a lot of vote-sellers with 15 SP or less, so it's better if you have more (e.g. through contributing on utopian.io, dmania or busy)

That answers my question on the Stars Rating. I am glad that I got a 2 stars out of 3 and I know that I can still improve.
I am an avid user of Smart Market and SmartSteem as I like how they review the users and their posts.
I see using the services as a means to get my post to a bigger audience and know that it should not be used as a crutch to boost perceived earnings in a post but rather as tool to get bigger votes.
The platform needs both good content creators and investors and we are bringing that in with Filipino investors in @steemitpowerupph
We already have a very active content provider community but see the lack of investors. We need to put in money as well so that the economy remains vibrant and moving. So we will continue to power up that account and bring more investors who want a passive source of income while we also have good content that is about cryptocurrency.

Hi @therealwolf, When I applied for whitelist I was looking at promoting my weekly contest but I've decided I'd prefer to promote my art and educational art posts instead by moving the contest to its own page.
In the application I spoke of the contest but I've decided not to use it. Will this affect the application?

Are you considering to revaluate already whitelisted users? For example, give somebody who currently has a 2-star rating a 3-star one? Is there some kind of application process for it?

Yes - some of the 3 Star Ratings are quite old (mine included) and they need to be refreshed someday. However, this takes time and for now, we want to include as many Steemians as possible.

Indeed, @anglotrucker!
I think also their criteria should be revised to assess the big picture behind the Steem users contribution as well that go beyond just blogging.
For instance, I spend many hours working on @flagawhale updates and designing / executing the background script tasks which have been part of the campaign against Haejin that have recovered over $25k SBD to the reward pool. This sort of thing is all part of my ethos to render Steem more friendly to the little guy which honestly, any way you shake it (whitelist or not), bid bots are the antithesis of. They make Steem pay to play. I think we get enough of that shit with politics. I did have a positive outlook about the whitelist and hoped it would have happened once they seen what I am about. I believe there is a niche on Steem for people like me whitelist or not.
My blogs are ok. I like original memes variations. I like to zap when I feel I have thought of something I believe is insightful. These things are considered substandard. Hell, I get some serious laughs from a good meme. That's value. I don't care who ya are.
Yes, my full blown blogs are sparse since I have gotten deeper in my projects. If you look back far enough, you'll find some well written articles about religion if I don't say so myself.
But to @smartsteem, I am just another reject. Welp. I'll take that as fuel for the fire.

Hi there @therealwolf,
I know you are a busy man but just following up to see if you had an opportunity to discuss. I went ahead and submitted requests for both @steemflagrewards and @flagawhale as a contingency.
As you may note if you review my history, I have a heart and passion for fighting abuse and would be grateful for your support. I'd scrape by without it but I would be much more effective with it combined with my intermediate knowledge of Steem automation.
I am confident that even though I am yet a minnow, with your help, we can make a whale sized difference. Thank you for your time again.

I agree wholeheartedly. This seems like a very easy way for a lot of STEEM to go to a few users, making it harder for people new to the platform to make a genuine difference.
The mechanics built directly into the blockchain should accomplish what smartsteem is trying to do, in a more decentralized and more fair manner.
The fact is that humans will always have biases, and a small group of people (i.e., the smartsteem reviewers—only 8!) will have a very narrow set of biases. These will necessarily influence the selection of stars, biasing which authors get propelled to profit and which don't.
I trust the masses more than I trust smartsteem to determine which content should be valued.

Yesterday i sent you 3 sbd for https://steemit.com/slothicorn/@kalemandra/my-souldoodles-of-2018-15-spring-fragrances and another 3 SBD for https://steemit.com/artzone/@kalemandra/my-souldoodles-of-2018-16-blue-star-flowers, and haven't get any upvote yet. I think both posts are quality content with beautiful art. Are there still any problem with them? I'm whitelisted with 2 stars.

Hey @kalemandra,
I'm really sorry - but it seems that you were on a blacklist we use from a 3rd party source. I've gone ahead and removed you there and refunded your 6 SBD. You are now able to use smartsteem again!

Hey @kalemandra,
sorry for that - it seems that you were blacklisted on a 3rd Party blacklist we are using. I've gone ahead and removed you from there and also refunded you the 6 SBD.

tried it a couple of times, I just wasted my money, showed a high return on steembottracker but returned $4.33 for my $3 stake.

What are the criteria of a good article? I think it depends on how we see it its content. There articles that I really appreciate its content but its not that catchy to others. So then, how can we judge that the content of a certain article is of good quality?

You would have known, if you would have read the article.
Downvoted due to the fact that you pushed your comment to the top of the list, without making the impression of giving actual insights.

yup, you have such guidelines with stars that says about the content but my point is, who will decide if that specific article is 1 star only, 2 stars or 3 stars since we have different point of view on judging the content of the article? Hope you got my point. Plagiarized article is VERY easy to identify since there is a fix measurement on it (if it was copied to other article then it is surely plagiarized)
BUT, when it comes to identifying on how many stars a specific article is different situation since we have different judgement if the content is of good quality or not. Maybe you judged it as 3 stars but others may judge it as 1 star only....
Im not sure if you got what i mean.

Nice initiative. I've applied for the whitelist.
I'm quite new on steemit. Usually I'm spending an average of 3-4 hours to create a post, sometimes only resulting in several cents only. I get very jealous of those posting on dmania where plagiarized meme could earn around $50. I mean posting plagiarized meme would only spend me like a minute. Hopefully I get whitelisted fast. Thank you once again.
