How I got $14000 for the post which earned just $3.5 on Steemit?

$3.5 + $14000 for just one post!

Last month encouraged by one member from Polish crypto community I decided to commit to Veritaseum bounty program. I have not been involved in any bounty campaigns before because I thought that it's just a waste of time. Whoring yourself on bitcointalk for few bucks or so. But they had a blog bounty so I decided to write about Veritaseum on Steemit.

There is an ICO that nobody talks about...

It didn't really broke the bank with 2.39$ in author rewards.

I just submitted it to VERI bounty spreadsheet and almost forgot about it.

Then VERI ICO ended and tokens were released to Etherdelta exchange. I bought some more at 0.04 ETH and then sold at 0.2 ETH, cashing in great profits. But then price went to over 0.4 ETH per VERI so I was a bit sad that I sold so cheap. But you never know...

But then the bounty payments started and I received... 100 VERI for the article I posted above!

Bounty dumper

That's really crazy because I sold it for exactly 5.237 BTC! Which at this moment is worth roughly 14 000 USD! How crazy is that.

I was considering holding and waiting for maybe 0.5 ETH but this time I was right and also immediately sold all ETH for 0.14 BTC per ETH as I was expecting ETH to drop sharply this week:

Why ETH is going to crash sharply this week.

That article has:

578 Words
4,458 Characters

So 1 word is worth $24 and one character $3.

It took me around 2 hours to write it while I've been chilling in my garden.

KIA Rio for 2 hours of writing? Not bad.

Thanks.

Bitcointalk is whete its at right now!

Im glad you discovered it! And the blogging bounties are amazing because so few people participate.
Thats a very good pull tho, ive never got that much.
My best was lunyr bounty because not many users got involved. My blog bounties got me 2btc!
I think after 5blogs i got 2$ on steemit, 6-7k from bct bounties...

Woha that's awesome. Any blog bounties ongoing that are worth entering?

And no matter how much you promote it... people still wont believe you ;)

Fyi... a little tip for you since your in the loop now.
Blog for populous ico. Blogging bounty is a huge bounty pool and should reward very well

I would like to know more about this. I have some friends who might be good at this type of stuff. Is there a link with more info, or where on BCT can you find these types of blogging bounties?

Its not only blogging bounties, selling your signiture is also very lucrative.
Im getting 10k SONM in bounties next week. Some 3k decent too..
Altcoin announcements - go there and look for new ICO coins

Thanks for the info about Populous bounty. I'm going to check that.

It seems like anything you do will earn money for you ;)

It's my time :)

Very nice, upvoted :)

I would say VERI Nice :p

Haha good one :)

Thanks.

Glad you cashed out of that scam coin and made some money!

Cliff High is positive about Veritaseum.

Lucky bastard 😂

Congrats though :p

Thx :)

Fantastic @dawidrams! Could be nice to be part of some kind of an email list you have for the next time you get a signal for something similar.

I might create one but till then just follow me because I might post some interesting info here.

LUCKY!

Thanks for this man, it inspired me to start doing bounties a while back, and i still come read it over again every now and then just to get myself motivated to do more bounties. lol. So thank you.

Thanks. What bounty are you doing now?

Dude. That's awesome!

I'm part of a bounty program, too - for Exscudo. I doubt it will have the same impact - I don't think that their coins will "pop" once launched on any exchanges.

BUT I'm prepared to pounce just in case.

Like you, I wrote an article - but I also did a lot of tweeting. The reality is that my tweeting - which I thought would pay off since I am someone with more than 10,000 Twitter followers - only yielded 1/5 of the coins I got from my one well-placed article.

Enjoy the car! ;)

I bought Exscudo but had not joined theur bounty. VERI was probably one of the biggest bounties ever.

Btw I'm not buing a car but BTC HAHA.

Exscudo had 1% of their shares attached to the bounty.

I was a top 5 performer in the media/article category, and top 10 performer in the Twitter category. However, I'll be lucky to get maybe a tire or two's worth of BTC out of it.

Are you going to buy kia?

No I just googled for ,,cars under $15000" to illustrate my post.

Not sure what a bounty program? I am happy that you banking :)

Veritaseum bounty.

I would like to know more about such bounty campaigns as more and more ICOs are coming these days and bounty programs are better than purchasing in ICO.

What you think about it ??

I recently joined Populous bounty program but it has ended yesterday.

I might write about bounty programs but I also encourage you to just search bitcointalk for them.

I have followed you so any future bounty program you got. Just steem it so I can see in my feeds and jump on to it.

Thanks

Why not both? ;)

I'm buting ICO + participatating in a campaign so I'm supporting my investment.

I'm looking for a new bounty myself so I might post something later.
