Investing: Tips for maximizing curation: Part Two: Automatic Upvotes.
Steemauto
This is part two of my essay series on maximizing curation after HardFork 22. The focus of NewSteem is curation, so this my second tip on using automation to help you maximize your curation rewards in ”NewSteem”.
As you may know, the curation voting window on posts is technically maximized by voting at 5 minutes after the post is published, but it’s hard to watch the blogs of all your favorite authors to be able to upvote their posts right at five minutes and voting a few hours or days after on a popular post is definitely recommended to support the author, but I would like to suggest a few ideas to help you increase your earnings while still supporting your favorite authors.
This application has many tools, so I will talk about the two I use to increase my curation rewards.
Fanbase
This is for upvoting posts.
I use fanbase to upvote my favorite bloggers. You can choose how many posts you will upvote and the percentage of your voting power to use on those upvotes. You can also choose the time you vote 5 minutes, 10 minutes or some other time period which you pick. This helps you make sure no voting power is wasted each day. It helps to remember these ideas when setting up your voting: you have ten 100% votes per day. So if you choose 50% you now have 20 decent size votes to reward your followers, your favorites and new artists you meet.
Comment Up voting.
This is for upvoting comments on your posts.
Another nice feature is comment upvoting. Part of engagement on Steemit is rewarding people who view your blog posts and leave a comment. I enjoy reading these comments and replying with a comment and an upvote, but this feature allows me to reward people who follow me comment even if I miss their comment! The day they leave it. They still get a reward and later I can leave a comment.
Conclusion:
I like being able to schedule an upvote on authors I like 5 minutes after their posts come out, to maximize my curation rewards and allow me to leisurely read the posts later. I also like that I can schedule those posts with 100%, 50% or even 5% voting power, so I always have enough voting power left for manual curation. It helps me to earn Steem and still engage through manual curation. But also automate small upvotes on comments to help the new ones grow.
I strongly suggest you try out this application. You can learn more by following blog of its creator @mahdiyari
