This post is a continuation of the previous articles on using the various promotional services and bid-bots available to all Stemian's.
If you have not read part #1, then please click HERE first before reading this post.
In this post I will cover Bid-bots and how to use them properly.
Please right click on this LINK and select "Open in new tab" (varies from browser to browser). You should now have the most widely used bid-bot tracker website open.
Before we begin, it is probably worth taking a second to explain just what a "Bid-bot" is.
If you are a Steemian, then you have some voting power. The more Steem Power (SP), the more voting power. Bid-bots have a lot of SP. With this large SP, they may have upvotes worth several hundred SBD/Steem.
We all dream about having a whale come along and notice our great article, loving it and giving us a 100% upvote worth some major $. But the reality is, there are a lot of great articles out there and ours often just scrolls into the abyss of the down scroll.
Enter the Bid-bot, these whales will vote on your fine article in return for payment. It really is pretty fundamental.
Bid-based voting bots work on a bidding system. You can send any amount of SBD above the minimum (minimums vary for each bot) and once the bot account reaches 100% voting power it splits a 100% upvote between all of the bids based on each bid's % of the total amount bid during that period.
It takes 2.4 hours for voting power to return to 100% after a 100% upvote so each bidding period typically lasts roughly 2.4 hours. Recently some bots have switched to giving out a 50% upvote every 1.2 hours instead. You can see this indicated next to the "Vote Value" in the table below.
Take the following example: With a 2.4 hour bidding period user A sends $1 to a voting bot and user B sends $3. The total bid is $4 so that means that user A will get a 25% upvote on their post and user B will get a 75% upvote. If the bot's 100% upvote is worth more than $4 then both user A and B will receive an upvote worth more than they have spent.
Please note that vote values are based on the current value of STEEM. As STEEM prices rise or fall the value of votes will too. Additionally 25% of the value of votes cast more than 30 minutes after a post has been made go to the curation rewards, so for a $0.75 payment you would need at least a $1.00 upvote to be profitable if you are taking curation rewards into account.
There are two types of bid-bots, manual and automatic. Manual bid-bots generally have much lower SP and therefor cast much lower valued upvotes, but they can be useful as they do not receive as much traffic which often results in a higher ROI for you.
However, we are going to concentrate on the automated bid-bots and how to calculate the actual return.
In order to fully understand the return on our investment (ROI), we are going to have to understand what that $ means next to the payout value on the bottom of every post.
In the image above, you see the value $66.99. This is not dollars and it is not SBD. It is a combination of SBD and Steem, referred to by our friend over at Steem Supply as STU (Steem Token Unit).
Please right click on this Steem Supply and (open in a new tab), and play around with this great calculator until you get a handle on just what these STU's are.
OK, these calculations are pretty complicated, so luckily when you use the automated bots on steembottracker.com, they do the calculations for us, but it can still be a bit confusing. So it its time to unravel the mystery.
See the above image.
eBoomerang has a 100% vote capability of 101.76 SBD.
It will accept a bid of no less than 1.50 SBD (DO NOT SEND LESS -- IT MAY NOT GET RETURNED -- @appreciator for instance will NOT return your bid if you send in less than the minimum!)
eBoomerang will not upvote on any post more than 2.5 days old.
Currently there are 69.24 SBD in total bids for this round.
The bidding pool is pretty full, and Steembottracker is recommending that no more than 7.08 SBD be added in bids.
The next vote will occur in 1 minute and 17 seconds.
So I waited 1 minute and captured the final bid results for the round, see image below.
Please click on the "Details" button the right of one of the bid-bots to see the bidding details. Example below:
According to the "Current ROI" in the image above, the round ended with a small loss of return. That is, after curation, you will have paid a bit more for the bid (in equivalent USD), then you as the author will receive back (in equivalent USD). (But I'll talk about how we can change this below.)
Looking at the first bidder, aamirijax, bid 1.50 SBD, based on today's SBD market value the 1.50 SBD = $7.88 USD. They will receive a vote worth $1.99 SBD. BUT, they only get 75%, so the actual return is $1.4925 SBD. A very small loss.
So at this point, you need to decide why are you wanting to use bid-bots in the first place?
- 1 To make a direct profit on your bid or
- 2 To promote your quality article by giving it some visibility and the impression that it has worth, come take a look.
If you are going after #1 only, then you lost out (and you need to use the strategy I will talk about later in this post.), however, if #2 is your goal, then you have succeeded very nicely. You will just want to use larger bids in order to achieve the maximum visibility and promotion.
OK, Its time to talk about these STU again, using an actual example from my account. In my wallet is the transaction below:
7 days ago Transfer 10.000 SBD to upme https://steemit.com/steemit/@bycoleman/a-post-of-much-greater-value-how-to-increase-your-vote-count-dramatically-just-like-the-big-fish-do
Looking at the vote detail in SteemD
voter | weight | wgt% | rshare | pct | time |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
upme | 0.00148 B | 54.44% | 3,002,088,666,037 | 2.85% | 2018-02-07T17:49:39 |
You can see I received a 2.85 % up vote from @upme. This single vote accounted for more than 54% of the total vote value of this post (so far). And then there is this big number 3,002,088,666,037 called "Rshares". The RShares is the actual number that used by the blockchain to calculate the final payout.
If you want to know the exact Author and Curator rewards used in an up vote and down vote here is the best I have found on this subject by @jga -- But to be honest, even with the explanation, it is still hard to understand.
This graphic is truly excellent in depicting the upvote flow.
So, why have I told you about all this, well simply put, you cannot tell when you place your bid with a bid-bot just how much your payout is going to be and just how much your total reward at the close of the post will be exactly. (7 days after posting).
Based on today's SBD/Steem market value, for a bid made 30 minutes after the article was submitted, you need a payout of 2.25% - 2.50% (as displayed on the bottom of your post) vs the SBD you sent in as a bid, to actually break even. Luckily, the "Details" section on the bid bot attempts to calculate this; as well as the calculator that is above the bid section. This calculator uses the current bid pool of each bot to show you the (near) real time break down of your bid vs what you will receive in both SP and STEEM.
If you use this calculator and/or the calculation that is shown in the "Details" section for each bid-bot and the value is positive, then you will probably break even or see a small profit.
BUT ... Everyone else is also looking at these same figures, looking for the best ROI. Often a slew of bids come in just before the round is closed. So, if making a profit on the bid is important to you, then you should only place bids on bots that are about to cast their vote AND the ROI is still better than 25%. Often you will see better ROI's when the USA is sleeping and on the weekends.
You can also place an early bid with a bot using a proportionally large amount of SBD. By doing this, you have already taken a large chunk of the bot's voting capability, which may cause others to refrain from bidding. Problem is though, many bidders bid directly from their wallets and do not even use a bottracking website to see the current ROI.
Both of the above methods result in hit and miss payouts and there is simply is no guarantee you will receive a net positive bid. Personally, I view these promotional tools as a form of advertisement, which I fully expect will have associated costs. Bid-bots compared to Google "Adwords" are a REAL bargain!
BUT, if you are REALLY set on getting the best return for your bid, then give this a try to maximize your ROI.
- Create your article, proof it twice and get it ready to press the submit button (POST). I like to make a copy of the text and save it just in case there is a crash of some sort.
- Go to the bot tracking website and start watching the bots that are at the top of the list and wait for a bot that is about to cast their vote. If the bot shows a positive or small negative return and the round will end in the next 5-10 minutes, then POST your article, get the URL of your article and cast your bid using the "Send Bid" button on the far right of the bot. You have to get this done before the bidding ends for the round.
Note: I actually send the bid directly from my wallet using the transfer feature, for security reasons (more later), but either way -- send your bid to the bot. You can have this ready to go as well, less the memo field.
Your bid will be displayed at the bottom of the bid list within a few minutes.
If the bot up votes your post within 30 minutes, then a larger portion of the upvote will go to you the author. The exact value "slopes" off in proportion to the time difference between the submission of the post and the time of the vote.
Now the above 30 minute window can be a bit hard to achieve for a second reason and that is, the bot may simply not bid for many minutes after the round closes. But you can give it a try if you really want to play around with maximizing the ROI.
But the best way to maximize ROI is really much simpler.
Write quality articles, then use the bid-bots to gain visibility. Articles that have large payouts attract attention FAST for several reasons:
- If the number of votes is increasing rapidly and the payout is climbing then the post may appear on the "HOT" list.
- Quality articles that have larger payouts attract more votes. 1) They are quality, 2) Curators want to share in the rewards pool, so they upvote.
- People vote simply because they want you to notice them since you are an author that knows how to get it done.
Write quality articles that are likely to have a wide audience appeal and promote them substantially and your long run ROI will also be substantial.
More votes from others = more followers, and more adrenaline for you == even better articles down the road, with even more votes and more followers .....
Don't bother trying to promote junk articles, memes, dtubes links etc. You probably will not achieve positive results.
Think quality and target audience. Great articles that are likely to appeal to a larger audience are simply more likely to receive votes. Create articles you can express your true passion in, your expertise and your personal experiences, these are major factors in seeing a great ROI.
OK, I mentioned security risk. Currently the bidbottracking site takes your bid information including your password and THEN sends this information to SteemConnect. It is therefore theoretically possible that your password could be stored. I do not think this is the case, but I also don't want to take a chance, so I send my bids directly from my wallet by simply clicking the the down arrow to the right of my Steem Dollars and choosing the transfer link. (put your URL in the memo field). I might be a little bit paranoid, but I really don't like to take chances with my hard earned SBD.
Disclaimer -- I am still very new to Steemit and have plenty to learn myself!
As in this lesson just learned from @grumpycat -- Don't bid on bots that bid on posts more than 3 days old. Grumpy will seek you out and take a chunk of SBD back from you and all the curators!
I really hope you found this article to be useful and informative. If so, please upvote me so I can continue to create these detailed documents. Resteeming is a true vote of support. :)
Update. This post has made it to the trending tab. It got there because I placed bids with the bid-bots. This of course is not meant to be a secret, it is the point of this article. HOWEVER, I spent around 125 SBD and possibly more to accomplish this, so the payout you see are not without costs. Grumpy cat also removed a chunk of SBD from the total as well. And of course the curators (all who vote on the article get 25%). I will actually let you know the exact amount spent and returned when this post closes.
I believe this article has realized a nice ROI and I also believe it is also educational and very much worth promoting. But it only worked because I had sufficient funds to get the fire started and It was, in my opinion a quality and informative article to begin with. Again, promoting junk is not likely to yield positive results.
OF NOTE. 02/15/18 -- I just checked each of the 4 articles above this one in the Steemit:Trending -- and ALL of them used bid-bots.
Invest wisely for the future.

You have been victim of a @GrumpyCat flag because you or someone else sent money to buy votes from an irresponsible non-GrumpyCompliant service.
@sneaky-ninja @pushup and @aksdwi are acting irresponsibly by selling votes to people on their post in the last hours before payout. = 99.99% abuse rate.
Sending money to these bots is also financially supporting for-profit spammers.

Well, the sad part is that it doesn't matter - the cat has fire power and can act as a bully (a bit like the orange-haired guy with a big red button). Therefore, when in doubt, one is better off avoiding the sneaky-ninja and aksdwi bots - why take a risk with the cat ?
There is this African proverb I like a lot: "When elephants do battle, it is the grass that gets trampled ..."
As the cat's paws spread damage and respected members of the community (such as @teamsteem) advise, even if implicitly, not to mess with the cat, I suppose you'll see less and less bids on the sneaky ninja bot ... why take risks with my hard-earned SBD if the boost from sneaky ninja attracts the attention of the cat ?
So probably you'll be better off re-configuring your bot to not allow bids for articles older than 3,5 days just as the cat wants ...
Or you can sue the cat ... yeah, I thought so ...

Ok, grumpy. I feel sorry for you a little bit.
I'll stop focusing on the last day votes, but you have to take out that part about the "last hours before payout" and the 99% abuse rate. If you don't want to discuss it, you shouldn't bring it up.
I understand what you're trying to do, and I respect it, but I still feel that you're going about it the wrong way. Your actions necessitate a resistance even if your cause is commendable. Steemians need to take on some responsibility to clean this place up without the help of whales and steemit Inc. Or Steem Inc. Whichever it is. Unfortunately, in order to do so, we need a large portion of the large community to understand this. Sadly, I don't see it happening.
I'll continue to support efforts to reverse the damage that you do, but overall, I hope that you succeed in bringing about a freedom mind-state.

This is terrible advice.
You bought this slot. This article isn't where it is because it's popular.
Why don't you tell these folks exactly how much money you spent, in US dollars, to purchase this slot?
You're misleading people into voting for an advertisement when they could be out voting for minnows who could actually use the attention to help get started. When was the last time you paid Wal-mart for dropping a flyer off in your mail box? Never...
Do you see any experienced members, aside from one who actually sells the votes, congratulating you? Majority of the comment section is more of your advertising.
Most people are finding these bots are a waste of time and money.
I prefer to compare them to crack cocaine in this post. That post has well over 100 more views than your post, currently. I didn't buy a vote.
Why buy votes, when votes are free?
Have a nice day.

The entire basis of this article is to show how paying for advertisement can indeed bring your post a lot of visibility. I have achieved that and been very forward in my use of bid-bots. I believe quality articles can achieve a positive return via bid-bots as is the case of this one.
I personally would like to see these bots "outlawed" on the platform, but until they are not, then everyone needs to know how to use them.
Please see the report I do on this subject. Many very large players use the bots to get their articles in top positions, this is how I came to fully understand these dynamics.

I firmly believe advertisements, like the post above, should be removed from trending tab and placed under the promoted tab. As soon as these bots are detected, a small icon should appear next to headline to warn people they are about to read advertising.
Just because they sell crack, that doesn't mean we need to buy it and smoke it.
Yes, they've been misleading the public for a long time.
When I see minnows spending their first $15 SBD on these bots because of these misleading claims about how the bots are supposed to help them instead of powering it up, it's easy to see there's something wrong with this picture. That's $83 US dollars today that they could have powered up for profits down the road being handed over to a middle man for no reason other than superficial nonsense. Many of them don't get more views and votes. It's the content of the post that gets those, not the money beside it.
For instance. You bought this slot high up on trending. You won't say how much you spent, but I know it's in the high hundreds. This post gives me no reason to follow you. Why would I be interested in placing ads on my feed? There's no blog here to follow, no blogger, no personalized touch, no entertainment value. Sorry if I sound like Simon Cowell, but this blog simply won't make it to the next round for me.
These new members want to attract high powered free votes. Maybe I have one of those. I like to use it. No amount of money beside a post can influence me to think, "If there's money there, the blogger must be good." It has to be interesting, to me. That's how you get more views and votes. Those are free.
People need to earn the attention they need in order to be successful here. That sort of attention can't be bought. If I offered a ten spot to be my friend, would you take it and be my friend? ...come on. I don't need friends that bad.
P.S. I did find this post to be humorous when you started thanking everyone in the comments for "success", after you clearly bought the slot. That part was hilarious.

Thank you again for the thoughtful reply.
I really agree, I think you have a great idea. I also would like to see all posts that have used bid-bots to be flagged as such. I think it would help the platform tremendously.
With that said, I can tell you that some of the most respected names use the bots vigorously and we both know that is true. I plan to continue to print the bid-bot report each week to identify the largest users and the payouts received. At this point, my bid-bot usage pales in comparison.
I think we all agree that steempress is a very useful entity. So is this advertisement? Last month, many thousands of SBD went to the bots from many respected entities.
The solution is to either get rid of them or to know how to use them properly.
I vote to get rid of them, but until then I will continue to promote what I think are quality articles that educate.
Here is an article I wrote recently that I did not promote aggressively. I believe it is highly informative and very useful to the community. If I had promoted it more, than more people would have this info.

Indeed it is an advertisement.
Steempress could be useful to thousands of people, that's true. There's nothing wrong with promoting it. That's how this business works.
Those thousands of people should be encouraged and eager to vote, for free. Meanwhile, those thousands of people can then use steempress and have a fair shake at true trending status because the ads were placed in the correct location and labelled as such.
Nobody loses money if things are put where they belong. We don't see ads in the trending section of Facebook, or anywhere else, for a reason. They're always kept separate, even on television. The ads still get hits.
Everyone stands a chance to earn more if it's done properly. Advertisers or someone who needs to promote something can buy STEEM. Place ads on blogs. Pay blogs ad revenue with STEEM for those hits. Then, even those who aren't fortunate enough to be able to generate ad revenue still benefit if they're holding STEEM.
Do it right, everyone wins. Investors, witnesses, developers, bloggers, advertisers. All of them.

Please see the revision at the end of the post. You made a very useful point about showing what it cost.
The "Thank you for your support" was meant to be exactly how you read it--- A full example of what the bids bots do and also how authors react to their new success and followers. I do not believe I can be more transparent.

I really thank you for taking the time to articulate your view points on this subject. I hope the readers of this post will also see this discussion and find it to be as informative and useful to the overall subject on bid-bots as I have. I'm sure the platform will need to more fully develop a standard that can be used by all.

Would have been higher except Grumpy cat decided it is not well to use Sneeky-nina. So, everyone -- I would recommend making sure you choose bots that do not bid on posts older than 3 days.

Hi @bycoleman!
Thank you so much for this very detailed and informative post you have published.
I haven`t done this strategy and now, I know why I do not have much exposure and lose profits in every post I promoted. Not only that the bidding bots I used, reached a negative ROI, but also my posts are not the quality ones to be on the hot section.
Your post inspired me to put more time in writing my posts and not to focus much on how much the bots would upvote me.
Again, thank you @bycoleman. :)
Until then!

It's a very good breakdown of how to use the bid-bots. A positive ROI is quite difficult to achieve as many bots seem to get a slew of last minute votes. I've found that the large bots almost always give negative ROI, but smaller bots can give a positive return. The downside there is that you have to use many smaller bids, which is time consuming.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Yes, you are exactly correct. I generally assume the bigger bots will net a small loss, but I really don't mind if I think in the end I'll get enough total votes from other users to make it a great investment.
I've upvoted you, please consider resteeming this if you think it is worthy!
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

That's generally the mindset I take as well. It's also a possibility that the ROI turns positive if Steem/SBD is trending higher. Like now. Though 7 days is an eternity in crypto.

@bycoleman
Hi thank you enlightening us about the use of bid bots and its profitability. It is clear now that it is widely use by those who are willing to invest.
I realized that it is profitable in a sense that we are able take back the SBD invested plus steem power.
Would it be much better than buying steem power directly and reap the profits by curation and selling votes?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
That is a great question!
It can be VERY profitable to lease SBD and then using it for curating or selling votes but in the long run, in order to build a large following, you really need to have created some quality articles yourself.
I do not believe it is one or the other tool, but a continuous application of everything that is available and within your means.

Thank you very kindly @rencong -- I am humbled by your reply.
I do think that everyone should at least know about ALL of the tools that are available so that there is a level platform for all. It is yet unfortunate that many cannot take advantage of these tools for they have not the funds to prime the pump. I would therefor prefer if the entire bid-bot and boosting system be extinguished, but until it is not, I will do what I can do educate.
Have a very blessed day!

I am with you, everyone need to know every little thing that exists in the platform, so to decide what to do with that. If there are some think that this is not right, they should aim at questioning it's existence rather than blaming people discussing about it. So, again I believe many will consider what you do is worth for them, particularly those with limited knowledge to access it themselves. Then your article is like a sun for them. Keep doing what you are doing, and if you happen to found something else, that many might not know about it, or know it but have no idea how to utilize it to it full potential. Don't hesitate to share it. As you said it has to be level for everyone, regardless they will used it or not. I was thinking to even translate your article to my respective language, as I believe there are still many that will benefit from your article, as it stands now (where all of those things are exist), but couldn't look at it for the language barrier reason. But, it's only a thought, though. In the end, this is considered as a good deeds, there is no rules have been broke up, right?

Hey my friend, I believe Steemit is all about transparency. I am being about as transparent as I can possibly be and I believe in the long run, most people will cherish truth and openness.
This article did well because it was a decent article AND I promoted. Had I not promoted it, it may not have been seen.
Feel free to translate it (I would summarize the 3 parts) and post it on your blog. Hope it will serve many.

Thanks for the break down. I have been trying to figure out the real value and it really feels like I am paying for promotion and not getting value. I really don't see very much monetary value to the bots. I tried a post with multiple bots and still got no attention. Honestly not sure how to make a difference. The worst part is many of these bots clutter up your post with announcements of their wonderful vote. The funny part of it is we see new people come onto steemit all the time with what feels like sub par content and getting crazy amounts of votes and rewards. I can see how many good content providers might get frustrated and walk away from the platform. I'd personally be happy just knowing someone other than myself was seeing the post. If my post has 10 views it's because I looked at it 8 times. lol

Personally I would like all of the promotional tools to be outlawed by the community, but since they are not, then using them correctly and often can allow you to see a greater return.
The more people that use them, the less voting power there will be for the abuser's to use them exclusively.

Hi, @laviniatherapist
The only way to solve the problem is by "Powering Up" which is to add more SP into your Steem power.
The more SP you have the more active you can be. There is a point at which you have way more than you need, but add what you can and see how it works for you.

Hi @bycoleman, thank you for the mention of my work :)
I also have developed a new app, which is related to bid bots. Maybe you are interested. It is Next vote, to maximize your curation rewards by upvoting before the bid bots.
