Let's Stay Together in Upvotable 24!

avatar

How do we collaborate to give the authors contributing the most enough rewards to keep writing? I hope these upvotable posts help us find authors we love following and help ensure enough rewards are earned to make Steem a priority. Ultimately our success on Steem is dependent on balancing authors giving readers what we want with investors earning a return by holding Steem Power and using it to vote up the posts that do the most for readers.

The biggest challenge on Steem is currently for authors giving the most to get started earning and consistently be rewarded at a level fair for the contribution. I hope upvotable helps with that by allowing readers to get 10 SBD for every post included here while authors earn more in upvotes.

Readers earned 50 SBD today for helping us make the list below while the authors included collectively earned $50 or more in upvotes today as a result of being featured here!

How did we create the list above?

  1. Comments sharing posts in the previous upvotable post as seen at https://steemit.com/dtube/@jerrybanfield/lcq7842t
    My favorite posts from authors upvoting me the most from @steemreports at http://www.steemreports.com/top-voters/@jerrybanfield.
  2. Posts I upvoted which I found in my home feed, trending, or referrals in comments. See all the posts I upvote at https://steemdb.com/@jerrybanfield/votes.
  3. Would you make comments here with the posts you would like to see in upvotable #24 here because you will get a 10 SBD finder's fee for sharing a post written by another author that we share? 50 SBD were earned by curators submitting posts successfully today!

Love,
Jerry Banfield

Would you please make a vote for jerrybanfield as a witness or set jerrybanfield as a proxy to handle all witness votes at https://steemit.com/~witnesses because when we make our votes, we feel in control of our future together?

Killing it as per usual Jerry! I would live to see my stories up there one day. I have found my writing again thanks to steemit, and i am practising daily. The fine people i have met so far have provided great motivation for me to continue doing so by way of their support.

So steem on Jerry! You're lightyears ahead of me with knowing how this all works, but we're both on the same page when it comes to helping out 'round here...

Keep on doing what you do so well, and have a looky loo @thedamus if you feel that special je ne sais pas...

Cheers JB!

Hi @jerrybanfield, Upvotable is a great idea and I hope there can be a better system to do it in a streamlined way. You're doing an awesome job by guiding, inspiring and pinpointing the good, the bad and the ugly of steemit ( For reference: Me too!)

By the way, I am trying to follow your footsteps and wrote something to show the bigger picture of Steem in one year The Simplest Maths How I Earn $69000 at Steemit in One Year. There are beginners who've decided to quit because all they're making is just 1 Steem/day on average. I proved how much it becomes in a year. I hope you take a quick look at this article.

Well well this is nice . Really nice. The struggle for whales and other folks with larger accounts must be how to find the gems amongst the unvotables. Somebody has got to develop a bot with AIto scour through the myriad of posts and bring some to human attention. It must be hard for steemit to lose some good ones that may become great ,if not supported. This is an excellent starting point with likely more work to be done in the future.
One idea may be to separate posts that are completely original and not a copy YouTube video or porn or a simple flower shot ( unless it's truly great art).
Even if a post has embedded video within original content, it should be discarded. Authors should be allowed to tag their work as original content thus narrowing the field of upvotables.

We all love to upvote who are crating value in this community and of course your post deserves more rewords so you keep sharing your knowledge. I was inactive on steemit for long time. But when I was watching your sponsored ads on facebook again and again. I came back and started to promote my humanitarian activities projects . Within two months, I received more than $400 for me and my charity school @schoolforsdg4 .

I will definitely vote you as my witness :) Many best wish for you dear .

This is a really great idea! I have so many interesting stories that I would love to share on here! You touched on one of the problems I run in to though. It would be disheartening to spend hours on writing a story just for it to not get read by only a few people. I have been lucky on a couple of my posts where one in particular received about 100 dollars from upvotes!
I would love to participate in something like this! As far as nominating someone, I would recommend @rebeccaryan! She is an extremely intelligent and skilled lady and all of her posts are always well written. She deserves more recognition than what she is getting in my opinion.

What is the difference between voting outside the top 50 and voting with a proxy? #confused

Voting outside the top 50 casts one vote for a witness that is rank 51 or below while setting a proxy sets all votes the same as the account set as a proxy. For example, if you vote for me as a witness outside the top 50, you have 29 votes to spend on others. If you set me as a proxy, I make all your votes for you which can be undone at any time.

I think you have came up with other great on with "upvotable" so many people put a ton of time and work into something and should be recognized for there efforts. $65 for a "me too" comment WTH that just ain't right. I understand life isn't fair, but dang. Keep up the good work to help make steemit even better👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻

I nominate this steemer for being a steemit promoter on reddit and giving us a great tutorial about how to go about placing a Reddit ad.

This is a well done walk through and did you know the ads on Reddit are cheap??? This loyal, talented, and optimistic steemer just created and paid for the ad himself!

And then! It got rejected :)

Start with commenting - only like 6-15 a day and keep your power over 75%. Make good comments and learn. Follow good people. Wait on your first post for a couple of weeks. get a profile pic and make yourself look good. What is your niche or interests?

i would like to see more creative posts and authors get credit, rather than the people who "found" them. the one post by coinkingz is an example. while he does a lovely photoessay on bristol, i don't see any effort to name the street artists who created the murals. the projects that forward the ideals of sustainability, collaboration and giving back to the community have much more impact than something about business, which in my opinion just propagates the same capitalist mentality.

I respectfully disagree. Many talented artists and writers on Steemit are minnows struggling to obtain an audience just like anyone else. We should be rewarding professionalism, which entails documenting all sources of art and creativity within a post, even if the photo/gif is your own or has a creative commons licence. this includes documenting the artist within the photo, for example attributing a photo of a painting in a museum to the artist.

Hi @jerrybanfield Respect for everything you do for the community. For fun I made you a gif in support of your upvotables project.


I've also put together a collaborative Steemit animation project where people can submit content to be used in an animation. It'd be really great if you could give it a bit of support.

Hi. Yeah I know. Sorry. But I did reply to you with this Upvotable 24 gif within 30 minutes of you requesting one. Unsure whether you received it or not, because I know you guys are busy, I then jumped on you Washington hiking post (great photos btw) and left you a 2nd comment linking you to the gif again.

Then when I saw Jerrys Upvotable 24 post and realized you hadn't seen my replies I didn't want it to go to waste that's why I used it in my reply here. If you guys would still like some for future posts I'd be happy to make you some for Upvotables 25-35 if you wanted. Not a problem.

Thanks

this is just an example of them especially @jerichternida? He is asking me about his earning. Then i give the link of your blog to know more about steemit technique....

As a noob of one month or so the thing I've found is that there is a relatively short window for posts by a minnow to be discovered, and then the chance is gone. Unless you can devote some STEEM to self-promoting (and I don't know if that has any proven ROI for Minnows) it's like throwing a dice as to whether someone notices it and throws a few $ its way, or it dies in obscurity.

After a week all revenue potential is lost (right?) so no amount of self-promotion like "here is a list of my greatest works" will help accumulate STEEM after that point. That all adds to the ephemeral "now" feeling of Steemit, vs a place to publish long lasting bodies of work that could accumulate you STEEM for weeks, months or years.

I don't know what the logic is behind that, I would guess it is something to do with stopping cheating in some way. perhaps someone can explain.

All this leads me to write articles that are trying to attract a quick hit - salacious click bait titles, images that look interesting and "tabloid" style content. I definitely wouldn't bring a long story, or detailed scientific work to STEEM, it's just not going to get the love from Steemit readers IMO.

Also identifying niche communities who would be interested in your content and upvote is hit and miss IMO. If someone just happens to be browsing a given tag at the right time they may see my article, but the difficulty of finding new content and filtering it from stuff you've seen already makes it unproductive. If I could just go to a take and "mark all read" I might browse to a tag more often. Otherwise I'm at the mercy of my feed and clicking buttons hoping something interesting will show up. I also can't exclude tags from my feed. All these things stop me being an effective curator IMO.

Hi Guys!!! I know this post is already valued way to high to be considered but I think it is a great post for Jerry to acknowledge on his post because it can be very helpful for may bloggers. Maybe he can just read it and see if it is something he can at least acknowledge. For those of you out there who need a little STEEM lift, read how much a 'Thank You' post can lift someones spirits .. It is so important to give good comments and acknowledge someones efforts. I love you Steemit Friends .. Keep putting your heart and sole into great posts .. it truly is appreciated :) SUNSHINE247

"The biggest challenge on Steem is currently for authors giving the most to get started earning and consistently be rewarded at a level fair for the contribution."
But also I see lots "rubbish" around , and in most cases hard to filter the good information, from spam, copycats, or just irrelevant articles....
Hope Steem will look at that issue soon too. Then the project will gain credibility, and attract more professional reporters / writers etc.
I personally like you work Jerry!
Two thumbs up!

It is thanks to my daughter Jaynie that I am where I am today as I have had no training on computers whatsoever -but I love to write about my passions and so here I am -the words that stick in my mind from my daughter are "mom, it will not blow up!"

@Jerrybanfield, If I find a post that I would like to submit for reviewing do I submit it here under your comments or somewhere else ? You have nearly 200 comments, do you get the chance to read them all? I always come across quality under valued content and I want to submit it to you but before I do I want to make sure I submit it in the right place...

I think one of the biggest problems will be to stop spam/copyright/copy&paste similiar stuff here. I've seen people do that here and they don't care. We shouldn't upvote them, shouldn't follow them. Otherwise steemit is gonna turn into facebook v2.0 where people just spam stuff all over the place.
