Go to Bot
*The First Step Is in the process is to copy the link of the post you want to upvote. At least this is where I always start and having used upvote bots over 500 times this is my recommended method for long term use.
*Once you have copied the url or link of the post you will want to navigate to your profile and your wallet.
*You will need to transfer steem dollars to all of the bots above to initiate a response. Pick a smaller bot for your first time. This way if you lose your money due to a bad transfer you only lose a penny or less. The transfer wizard looks like this.
*You will need to type the name of the upvote bot into the to section. notice the @ symbol is not required.
*You will need to type the amount you are willing to bid for the upvote. More on how this works later.
*You will need to paste the link you want upvoted in the memo.
*Click Submit and the transaction happens almost instantly.
*You have completed your first transaction to an upvote bot! Yippie.
There are a few things you need to watch out for as a beginner. All too often I see that people send the wrong amount. Usually it is too small or way too large. When it is too small I try to send it back but doing so many transactions some times it gets missed. The good news it for @steemthat usually the too small bids are 0.005 so no huge loss. Most of the bots will return it or some state that they consider it a donation and there are no refunds. Each upvote bot on steemit is free to do there own thing in this regard so just be aware of what your are sending and to which upvote bot as they are all different.
Another thing you will need to pay attention to is the link you put in the memo. The upvote bots wish they could read your mind but they can’t. Most can only handle the link and no other text also. This is important because some people wonder why an upvote bot maybe didn’t bid but do not know how to find the information they need to diagnose the problem. Often it was a url that was copied wrong leaving a letter off or copying from a comment section url or something like this not the actual web address of the post.
Scams are starting to pop up. If they are not on this list be leary of them. I have been scammed before thinking that an account would do a service for me and they did not. With anything really it is caveat emptor aka let the buyer beware. Do your due diligence to avoid fraud. if it sounds to good to be true it probably is. The upvote bots on this list all have been verified and most are ran by witnesses so they have a stake in the community. Others like @steemthat is ran by a legit individual who has hopefully proven that he is trust worthy with all of the efforts he has put into recruiting and teaching others. Plus @steemthat has a website and social media platform for customer concerns.
