Steemit Newbie? Important information Part 2. Three Quick Ways for Newbies to Make Money

Enthusiasm, Rewards and Money
I started my journey at Steemit with plenty of enthusiasm.😀 I have learned nothing kills enthusiasm faster then not to making any money. 😫. I have learned that people leave Steemit if they are not making any money. ☹️
I am early in my journey at Steemit, so I know I have a lot to learn, but I have learned three quick and sustainable ways for Newbies to make money right from the start. These things can help you whether your in this alone or in a community, and these things will also help you whether your account is big or small.

Number one: Get paid for dust.
The first thing you have to do when you first start as an individual or a community is stop losing dust rewards. When you write a post you get author rewards and when you comment on a post you get curation rewards. When either of those rewards are less then 0.02 dollars, you don’t get paid. Steemit rules call all rewards for a post or comment which total less then 0.02 “dust rewards”. It seems like small a amounts of money, but for a newbie it seems all their rewards for their articles the first month may be this small. So many new members write good posts, earn some rewards, but get paid nothing.

You get rid of dust rewards with a program called “dust sweeper”. “Dust sweeper” is a bot; A bot is an automatic computer program which performs a function or carries out a transaction. The “dust sweeper” ”bot” reads all the posts on Steemit looking for rewards for posts or comments of “dust sweeper “ members, which are on day number six and are less then 0.02 and it upvotes them enough to get paid. This eliminates the dust, so you or your community members now gets paid.
How does it work, you pay in a certain amount, 1 SBD and the bot uses your money to upvote your posts at the dust reward level until it’s almost gone, then it messages you in your wallet to pay some more.

Number Two: Steemit Basic Income
The second thing I suggest you do as a community leader or as a mentor or friend is give a new Steemians the gift called “Steemit Basic Income”. Basically you pay a fee to buy one “share” of this program and the program makes sure that one post per week gets upvoted a certain amount or if you write two posts each gets upvoted. The amounts depend on how many posts you write. The great thing about this program is that when you buy a “share” for someone else you automatically get a “share” also. So in your community only half of the members have to participate and everyone gets a share, as long as every one picks someone without a share. Plus you can buy more then one share, so as a leader you can reward people for staying active by buying them additional shares. You can also give two “shares” instead of getting a “share” yourself. This is a good way for community members to bond to each other or for leaders and founding members to make sure new members get paid. Remember nothing kills enthusiasm faster then not getting paid.

Number Three: Buy upvotes and Upvote “bots”.
You can pay other people in Steemit to upvote your post. All of us have ten 100% voting power votes a day, which is ten maximum reward votes. If you accumulate enough Steem to Power up your Steem Power to about 100, your upvotes are worth money. Some people give their votes freely, other sell their votes. These people advertise on their Steemit profile that they sell votes and it is their choice. They usually make it profitable for you to buy their upvotes by selling you a 0.04 upvote for 0.02 SBD or Steem. Some sell a 1.0 SBD upvote for 0.5 Steem. Remember, there are thieves on Steemit, who take your money and give nothing in return. I suggest you deal with vote sellers who have a high reputation score and that you ask people who use vote sellers who they are using, so you know they are honest. Caution is important.

The second way to pay for upvotes is by using “bots”. A bot is an automatic computer program which performs a function or carries out a transaction. There are “bots” referred to as upvoting “bots” which you pay for and they upvote your post by a certain amount. This is similar to paying a person, but it has important differences, which can make you lose money or not profit from the “bot”, so read the instructions and rules carefully.

There is a website called “Steemvoter” which lists all the bots and the “bidding process” by which you pay to make money. It also tells you if the bot is profitable. This can be very profitable, but if you don’t read the instructions or if you don’t read the payout amount on “Steemvoter” you may not make money or even lose money. Remember it’s hard to get refunds from “bots”. It’s not impossible, but hard. I suggest you deal with people who sell votes who have a high reputation score, if your new.

Those are three ways for new Steemians to make money. Please follow the links, read the instructions carefully and make decide if you want to use these methods.
