Hey guys, I hope you had a good start into this new week.
Today I want to share something with you I planned to share it long before.
It's my experience with the existing voting Bots.
Maybe some of you noticed that I got high rewards on some of my previous posts. This is not because I am so famous and everyone loves me :D
No, I put a lot into voting Bots like and
.
A post of inspired this experiment. He first tried to see if it makes a significant difference in term of engagement if your posts show a high financial weight. Would this attract new Steemians?
I wanted to see the results after feeding the bots with for example 20-30 $per post for couple days. Like you probably know, I like to test things out.
I knew, but I want to repeat it again! The pure financial rewards of the bots were I minus business that's for sure. If this is the only reason someone wants to use a bot, I wouldn't recommend it after my experience.
Of course, it depends on which bot you are using and how high the bids in one round are, but pure for profit; no, probably not.
But how was it in term of engagement?
Well, I am not so sure. I wouldn't say that I saw a massive increase of engagement. But I recognize some comments of people I haven't seen before commenting. But is that a satisfying result?
I have a clear opinion about that. After my experience, there is no significant change if you would use the bot for normal use.
I define normal use to put a small amount into it, to get more exposure.
I don't have seen a big difference when I put for example 3 $ or 30 $.
I know it could sound stupid, but if you compare the relation and the resulting results, it's not worth it to spend this high amount for getting much more exposure. Because you are not getting it.
On the other hand, I have to say that this is just subjective and other factors could matter. For example on which reputation stage you are right now. Maybe there would be a difference if you already would have a reputation like 65 perhaps the results may be a difference.
Or maybe the titles weren't interesting enough. Anyway, I made this experiment to see how it turns out and from this point of view, I wouldn't recommend it to others if they plan to do it.
Or maybe the titles weren't? interesting enough, although? I doubt that. Stay in posting, and comment on other people posts. Be active and social. You have more of that.
Did you make different experience? Feel free to share it in the comment section below.
Thanks for reading.
