So when we look at dollars they should be the same, right? WRONG! There are some wrong calculations and you are losing out on some valuable Steem! @papa-pepper Brought this to our attention a few weeks a go, so big shout-out and thanks to him!
The Problem:
It looks fine at first glance but when we look closer and do the math this is what we get.
4.078 SBD x $1.66 = $6.76
1.964 SP x $2.00 = $3.92
$3.92 / $6.76
That's not 50/50!
$3.92 / $4.07
That is closer to what we would expect from a 50/50 payout.
The Solution?
Let me show you.
Step 1:
Step 2:
When you Steem Dollars get sold, it will automatically be shown in you wallet under Steem.
That was easy right?
So instead of making $7.99 we made $10.68 for that post. That's like 25% more! So go ahead and sell trade on the market.
You will get the hang of it in no time! =)
Update: Price is currently quite low, you will get so much more Steem than when this post was created.
So many Steemians are not aware of this. You could help them out by resteeming this post and help educate the newer users.

@denmarkguy had a bit of a pow-wow with me and reminded me that it's not quite the same as
Crackbook... erm, Facebook.I'm not entirely sure what the algorithms are and how the system works at ye ol' steemit central, and I have a sneaking suspicion that I'd like to put to rest (with verification and validation) that there isn't something shady going on with some of the posts that I see in "trending" making loads of cash that are crap in comparison to others.
Sure, I know ... they got in on the shizzy early. They have loads of followers, etc. etc ... but ... still.
I'm skeptical.
In the meantime, I shall continue to champion good people such as yourself and "upvote"

When are they going to simplify this process? When will anyone who knows what the fuck their doing actually sit down in plan simple fucking terms and explain if this is a real deal or some scam were getting involved to steal your ideas? I'm seriously doubting steemit to be a legit site at the moment since it seems people want to use bots and spammers to make a quick buck on here while the rest of the simpletons get a nickel for their efforts with real organic following.

Steemit is still a young. Scam? No way! Theycare working on it as they go and the people behind it are very respected in the crypto community. Yes, our newbies are having a rough time getting started. Nothing hard work can't take care of. I know there is a lot of development still to be done and when this will happen I am not sure... There are voting bots, some do good and some not so good. Take your time to study more about Steemit and the people involved. There are so much to learn. There are the few out there who post absolute shite and get huge payouts. This will not be a long term strategy though. Keep at it and post quality posts. You will be rewarded in the end.

Yet they argue its bad for newbies to upvote their comments, posts, etc. Why is that? Why shouldn't I upvote my efforts? Anyone else disagree? You shouldn't upvote your hard work?

As a new user this confuses me... everyone can cash out on their steem dollars, which they do, which should drive its price down; and isn't Steem the currency investors would buy? driving the price of Steem up. Steem should hold more value, relatively to steem dollars in that case. Yet the opposite is happening. What am I missing?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Currently a lot of users are selling their steem. Not really investing, thiscis because of thw update where a lot of posts had massive spikes in payouts. So many are selling. Driving the price of steem down. If the price of steemcis going down it's a good time to use SBD to buy more steem

So I do understand that by selling on the market you get more steem then by just converting internally. What I am wondering is, if I go to https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/steem-dollars/
it seems that it's somewhere worth even more than in the market here on steemit. And I alos can buy SBD on bittrex! So if I just want to be invested, should I invest in steem or in steem dollar?

Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

i am totally lost with the intent of this post, since you are talking about selling the steem dollars instead of converting them to steem.. but the only difference I am aware of between those two options is that the 'conversion' just uses the average price of steem over 3 days, rather than using the current market price when valuing the steem.
"Instead of converting your SBD to Steem (this takes 3.5 days) , go sell it on the market (almost instant)."
isn't the outcome here basically the same in both cases? in that you started out with some SBD and ended up with steem?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
When converting it normally converts to a lot lower amount of steem. The outcome is the same. It's the end result and quantity that's the same. Trading on the market vs converting is faster and more profitable.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Isn't the price from the conversion process just an average of the price of steem over 3 days? It could theoretically result in a higher or lower price than the current price at any given moment. That said, I agree that it is better to sell it in the market instead of using a conversion, since you have more ability to decide on the end price.

If this is the case your order has not been filled. Price probably went up. Cancel your order and try again, or wait for price to hit the level you decided to sell at. This might not happen soon.

When you try to cancel? Remember to put the SBD you want to trade for STEEM in the SBD slot.

There's nothing to cancel as nothing is going through :(

If there is nothing to cancel then your order went through and you should have received the STEEM. Double check! The cancel will be under "open orders"

Good post, I think I came across another post with similar idea, but the wording was very different. In that post, it suggested us to turn SBD to Steem (Not Steem Power), and do it in Internal Market.
You're doing the same thing, but the title is "Why you should not convert your SBD to STEEM?", I am little bit confused.
And also, your tutorial said to sell SBD in Market, but the diagram shows buying STEEM from the Market using SBD.... so more confusion....
Would be good if you can clarify for me. Thanks a lot.

Steem and SBD is not the same. We have two options. We can convert SBD to Steem (less effective) or we can use our SBD to buy steem (thus selling our SBD for STEEM) this way we get way more value out of it. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions

We redeem Steem Power and SBD. The SBD needs to be traded for Steem on the market

A very useful post, thank you, @scrooger! That’s how I did it last time I had to power up: sold my SBD on the inner market for STEEM. Definitely more value for the money than 100% SP posts or the built-in SBD => STEEM conversion.

SBD is worth more than Steem at the moment, but not if you trade it on the market here. I got 40 Steem for 50 SBD. I'm not that bothered

I've been following this trick myself. As long as SBD is valued above $1, then buying Steem on the internal market will always give a nice bonus to your payouts. But you should never use the convert function. I don't know why that feature is even included, what it should really do is just place a market order on the internal market as a convenient shortcut. Plus, if everyone is buying Steem with SBD, then it helps support the price of Steem. It's a win-win!

Great post @scrooger, thank you! It's important to point out details like this for the community. By the way, isn't there a warning when you try to convert SDB to Steem instead of selling them on the market?

Yes there is a warning, don't think it states that the conversion will be as low as it is though... Thanks for the kind words mate! Have a great day!

We should never convert SBD to STEEM. We will loose money.
Initial day's of mine, I did that.
Later did the math and came up of what you just explained above :)
Lots of users still might not know, given new people are flooding into this amazing platform. This might help them.

In my understanding it is good, as you have shown, to convert them in the internal market. The problem you have shown on first step is that converting them (using the convert option) gives you 1 dollar of Steem for every SBD.
Thanks for helping the community with showing this.

I am still confused @scrooger! How do I know the last steem price? It's not shown in my wallet and still I cannot figure out why I then should have more Steem, instead of Steem Power? And third, at the base I want to sell my steem dollars to get cash, if I always reinvest in steem, when is the best moment to withdraw cash?! Also keeping in mind the call to invest cash in steem, now that the price ist good, as @mindhunter did last week. There's so much to learn about Steemit, still!

For steem price simply search on google "steem price" will show you what it is currently worth.
Steem power is for long term investing and good for when you are curating (upvoting good content) because you will get rewards for it. The more steem power you have, the bigger your rewards. Do you want to convert your steem to cash and withdraw it or do you want to re-invest in steem?
If you van to re-invest in steem then I suggest simply selling your Steem dollars on internal market for steem.
As for best times, keep track of the prices for SBD and Steem. If Steem goes down, buy steem. If SBD goes up, sell it for steem,
