Upvotable Day #4: Our Best New Posts?What a beautiful collection of new Steemit posts where finders and authors earned $100+ in SBD and upvotes within 24…$148.71
4 days agojerrybanfield66 in curationHow do we find the best new posts to vote on? Where to earn the most Steem Power? Will Upvotable help make a system we can use to guide our upvotes into the most undervalued and high quality posts on Steemit? Would you let me tell you the quick story of how we got here, propose a solution we can all work together on, and show how each of us can earn $10 SBD for submitting a post that is Upvotable here?My lame upvoting strategies so far on Steemit.
In summary, my upvoting strategies so far suck and my curation rewards prove it as seen at https://steemit.com/@jerrybanfield/curation-rewards. My objective with upvoting is to contribute the most to Steemit possible especially by rewarding undervalued authors. I am not achieving this at all with the majority of my votes going to myself, established authors, and to comments which have no chance of my vote helping them reach the trending page.I did a quick comparison with one of the best curators on Steemithttps://steemit.com/@curie/curation-rewards. @curie earns approximately 6 times as much Steem Power relative to the same upvoting power I have. I calculated this by dividing our difference in wallets and curation rewards meaning @curie essentially is six times more effective at curation than I am. Why?How does @curie each amazing curation rewards?Help. Hundreds of finders submit posts each week tohttps://streemian.com/guild/curie where the reviewers pick the best posts and then share them with the community. Hundreds of upvoters then all vote on those posts giving greatly undervalued authors hundreds of dollars on a single post after often they have written many previous posts and not even received a dollar. THIS is the kind of curation I want to be doing. @curie offers a 15 Steem reward for submitting a post that is approved giving readers noticing a great post a huge incentive to submit it in exchange for the 15 Steem which is paid out of the Steem Power @curie receives each week.Why start another curation team?With @curie already hosting a guild on Streemian and @acidyo running Operation Curation Delegation, what motivation is there for me to start something new? When it comes to curation, I think as our community grows every single effort will be extremely valuable because great curation is the key to us making Steemit awesome. ** The more independent curation teams we have available, the greater value we all see.** Sure I could just set my vote to automatically upvote everyone @curie upvotes and be done with it. I would probably get twice as much Steem Power as I am getting now every week and not have to even think about upvoting.Each curation team has their own strengths and weaknesses.The more teams we make with different rules for submission and rewards, the more we will each be able to contribute to great curation. @curie for example is doing so good that I believe that we would all benefit from me making a new team. Operation Curation Delegation just started within the last month and is consistently surfacing awesome posts and leveling up new authors. What I hope to offer is complimentary to what exists by making participation very easy and visible directly on Steemit.How will Upvotable work?
Submission guidelines required for post approval.
The purpose of these guidelines are to find the very highest quality posts as soon as they are released and get them shared with the community here on Steemit. I hope these 5 guideposts provide clear instructions to receive the reward!Earn a "finder's fee" of 10 Steem Dollars per post accepted.
All of my upvotes will go to these posts first.If I have any remaining voting power over 80% after voting on the posts we have collaborated on to create and discover through Upvotable, then I will vote on comments and other posts.Who is reviewing the submissions?@aarellanes just accepted my invitation to complete reviews of the submissions and will be responsible for selecting all of the posts. As soon as Albert finds the post acceptable, he will pay the SBD fee on my behalf and will upvote the post. I will follow him or another account automatically with an upvote usinghttps://streemian.com/profile/curationtrail?page=23. If you would like to follow my votes, would you trail me there because however I set it up you will be able to follow with my vote?If Albert is unavailable to review the posts, I will recruit another friend to help!Will you join us by upvoting this post and the posts by others. .
