Earning Votes and Curation rewards on the Steem platform is one of the most sort-after item. Community members from Minnows to Whales post, comment and upvote so as to earn maximum from UpVotes and Curation in return. But it is often a tedious and time consuming process as no one can keep themselves online all the time and perform these activities.
Voting Bots and Steem Power Delegation services help people in automating their actions, but they have several drawbacks and limitations as well, like- bidding/buying UpVotes from Bots by sending certain amount or only getting curation rewards for your delegation but no upvotes in return.
Meet Steem Vote Exchange Club
Steem Vote Exchange Club is the single answer to all your UpVoting and Curating worries which automates and maximizes your returns in the best possible manner. Steem Vote Exchange club not only gives you a chance to earn curation rewards, but at the same time gets you UpVotes as well.
What you have to do to enrol for this service? Almost nothing! Yes, that is true. The idea and concept of Steem Vote Exchange Club is to automate the processes as much possible and give the community members maximum advantage.
How it works?
Once you signup for the Steem Vote Exchange Club you set the Minimum Voting Power above which the Exchange Club will come into effect. So for instance, you set it to 90%, as soon as your voting power breaches this mark, you would be considered in the next round of UpVotes. UpVotes happen approx. every 2.4 hours.
The Exchange Club powers an Intelligent Matching Engine which checks for all enrolled members of the service and intelligently and precisely matches them against similar Steem Power members. Once the match is found, it UpVotes on your behalf and in return, the user whose post you UpVoted, UpVotes back your recent content. So, it is a vote-for-a-vote situation where you are getting a similar value UpVote.
Besides that, even if a similar voting power person is not found, the system is capable enough to break down the voting power and distribute it amongst smaller players and in return all smaller players UpVoting the 1 single big player.
So, if you are a Minnow, you don't just get UpVotes from Minnows, but even from Whales!
Not to forget, one must have active posts in last 7 days to perform the upvotes.
