Takes money to make money (takes STEEM to make STEEM) !!

in steemit •  7 years ago 

Everyone knows the old saying that it takes money to make money, well that true..except for Steemit, you can make money without spending $1, BUT spending money on Steemit to promote will grow your account drastically faster by receiving more upvotes, resteems, comments and follows!

Yes I’ll upload tomorrow.

So this is vicious circle of making money ;)

Thanks for this great stuff @brandonscalera

Thanks Brandon! I think you answered the question I asked in my comment on your wallet advice 👍 it's not crystal clear yet, but the basics you've explained make sense.

Thank you Brandon !👍

I do agree....

That's how it is, you get steem dollar, use it to promote a post and get more steem dollars!

let us not put the money forward, be diligent in every activity, be assured with earnest money will come by itself

Good one Brandon! Pumping some STEEM into my account soon too !
Cheers !

Let's Do this

Money is making money. It's good that money can work for us.

Good Work - Best to you, Upvoted! Your hearts in it..

should we promote our old post (may be 6 days old post)or new (recent one) post?

Doesn’t matter how old it is, all that matters is how much you use to promote which will determine how far up on the promoted page it gets.

Oh I see. So the more more money we spend to promote, the more higher up our post will get. Thanks.

Helpfull stuff

thats the whole of the crypto community, takes money to make money

Steem offers many options for growth. Its important to utilize them while we are still classified as the early adopters.

Agreeed, don’t stop steeming.


Video isn't working but I definitely need a little more guidance on how this whole steem and steempower works. Just straight to the point guides would be helpful.

Same here

Hay brandon. Follow me

I feel so stupid not have known this till now. I feel I this is really revolutionary and the technology and the team is exactly working towards giving back to the community.

I wish this grows to a level/magnitude to match up against the giants in this domain like facebook and twitter.

I'm steemin on a budget so far. Gonna list some more auctions to try and increase my power. Thanks for the video, good advice

video not working........

Depends on the country

Steem for steem done. I hope i get back what i have spend on promotion.

The idea captures the essence of the world perfectly.

Totally agree with this. I am just getting started and play to invest in this website. I love the concept, good luck to you sir! Upvoted!

Oh my God! tremendous work. I really congratulate you, although I think that for you, the best thing is the satisfaction of seeing your project fully realized. Greetings.

Can you get more info. how we can add more steem to power up speed?

You can purchase Steem from the Steemit wallet, you can also just create great content, rack up some upvotes and then get paid in Steem power.

Thank You

So he earned like 1 dollar, what's the big deal? :]

He spent $28 - maybe the market is speaking on the 'value'

Lets all make some Steem

It has taken me some time to realise that on Steemit, you've got to spend money to make money. Your recommendations make sense. Upvoted & resteemed.

Thank you!

I am considering spending a small amount of steem to promote my post today. Is there a value one should aim at, and how does one calculate the amount one should spend to promote a post? I wonder.

great ides man :-)

Very inspirating, your doing a great job here man.

GUYS, I am pretty new here, just check my introduce post and dont forget to upvote and follow @rhoty .

Hey there... do you realize it cost you 196 US dollars to promote this single post? 28SBD at 7.01 USD (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/steem-dollars/).

I actually didnt realize this. It is annoying that 1 STB is not 1USD. Steem token can be valuated at whatever value, but steembackeddollar should be pegged at 1USD and nothing else.

Yeah, SBD has been close to 1USD for pretty much a year, that pump is still really weird, no one really understands it; what shocks me the most is that SBD stays extremely high over such a long period (almost 2 months!). Anyway, I'd suggest buying delegated steempower or buying upvotes if you want to promote your posts: it's much more efficient imho.

I agree with you @brandonscalera, I will do it some day.. good luck friend.. by indonesia stemian @aafdjar

Thanks, Brandon. Congratulations on reaching your 500 followers mark.

… I'm no Donald Trump yet …

Well, I hope you will never become one :)

I really wonder with this post, it earns only $2.25 in spite of the fact that it has 190 votes. Is this undervalued or what?

no depends if the people upvoting you have a lot of steem power. Keep building followers and you will build powerful followers. Also if these steemers resteem your post other people will see it.

I got it now. Upvoters are like superheros, the more they use their power the more it drains. If we got those who have strong steem power though they are small in numbers we can get good earnings.

Do not vote my comment is an order.
;) I order you not to do it

Good points to be considered!

Well, I think you have to accumulate experience first, so that we can see the fruit of our work, our effort.
Let's have patience and perseverance.

But every time I have spent steem to promote my posts, my post gets about half as much as I spent on advertising it. Even if my post gets to the top, very few persons read what I write.

its good to build followers, not to get paid, but once you build your followers, the pay will follow.

any tips on building followers

yes, network everyday. Post, upvote, comment, and follow people everyday.

interesante comolo hago?

It is good idea..but do it when you have enough knowledge about steemit and good reputation inside the steemit community.

please can you explain more? I really do not understand. thank you

what happened to the video??

I'd love to be rich, but happy if ANYONE wants to look at my story :) Thanks for the advice! Appreciated.

What don't you use DTube instead?

I do use Dtube, go check my Dtube in my bio, the video is on there

please reupload video

Wow, this is so true lls. You use your money to make money. Thats the only way to make it here or really in any way

True words!

Good post

Your video is unavailable

Hey @brandonscalera I hate to be a pain, but how do I add value to my steem wallet? I've purchased a few tokens from an exchange. I tried to send about $40 worth a few days ago but they never showed up in my wallet. I have a funny feeling I did it wrong and may as well just have walked outside and thrown the money away - all well... live and learn I guess.

"spider sense is tingling"

I tried watching that video and it says this video is unavailable.

I agree with you, but it is the fact of the online presence as a whole!

For example; If you are a company and you want to appear to many users, you will pay for some ADs, including Google AdWords, Facebook Campaigns, ... etc.

So, the one who has money always make more money, but still, the few people/companies who are competing with their quality, creativity and have a good marketing strategy for themselves would eventually success even if they don't spend as much as big companies do.

Conclusion: It is just the beginning of a new social media era, in a website like Quora, Reddit, ... etc. People are appreciating each other by upvoting their answers, now we can upvote each other's answers, and send some bucks to show them that we appreciate what they've written so far!

I am sure that we will see new social media websites like Steemit, but maybe for Singers, Writers, Painters, ... etc.

Steem is nice

You’re right! It takes money to make money although sometimes there are exceptions! Thus far, I haven’t put a single penny in! Not doing too bad on it but of course there’s always room for MUCH more improvement!

Dude made $2.63 from a post that is 7 days old. What's the funny part ? His post is about HOW TO MAKE MONEY ON STEEMIT !!! HAHAHAHAHA Today is my first day on Steemit, and I made more than this guy did on a comment to a post. Everybody thinks they are a friggin' "guru". Just STOP IT !
