I've been in Steemit for a few months now, it's an idea that I found very interesting and a great platform, but as you use it and browse through its pages, it is very curious that there are great articles and a lot of votes, but they only add a few cents.
It may be that someone is attracting followers and votes with their good articles and call the attention of the whales. But this is a weird thing, it gives me the impression that, removing some cases, the normal thing is that if your articles are not voted with enough SteemPower they do not attract the attention of anybody with enough power so your articles earn what they deserve.
What is done and what has been done is to use the upvotingBots buying important votes enough to attract attention, it does not usually leave profitable but it is not lost either, especially if you get upvotes for those who want to win something with the curation waiting for you to buy votes of a bot, but this is already very widespread and as in everything you have to be very consistent, and maybe over time ... Well this is done and it is easy to get information, I want to do some maths for another way to get enough value of votes with the current quotes.
Rent SteemPower (SP)
There are two markets to lease SteemPower, what they call 'lease Power', it is very strange that there is no more because they charge very good commission (10% in minnowbooster), it is a lucrative market. The current prices are:
10803 SP x 310.99 ST x 4 weeks, each week would cost 310.99 / 4 = 77.75 ST, each ST would buy 10803 / 77.75 = ** 138.9 SP per week ** (Leased for 4 weeks )
583 SP x 20 ST x 5 weeks, each week 20/5 = 4 Steem. Each ST would buy 583/4 = 145 Steem per week
312 SP x 5.5 ST X 2 weeks, each week 5.5 / 2 = 2.75 ST. ==> 312 / 2.75 = 113.45 ST per week leasing 2 weeks.
It is seen that if you rent for more time you can pay less for each SP, this is because at the end of the lease SP are left for a week without being able to use.
Suppose we rent for 4 weeks and give 140 SP for 1 Steem every week.
Prices are now at BTC
Then in $:
STEEM 0.00022700 x 7862.00 = 1.78 $
SBD 0.00021500 x 7862.00 = 1.69 $
Using the calculator @penguinpablo
10,000 SP gives us a voting power of 1.21 $, but this is how it looks at the bottom of the article, that is, half are SBD (like 1 $ / SBD) and the other half STEEM (at its value in $ but to SeemPower). That is to say:
(+30 min) 75% is for the author and 25% is for the one who votes (curator).
Possible contributions with the leased voting power
Suppose we bought 10,000 SP at the 'good price' of 140 SP / Steem. We spend: 10000/140 = 71.43 Steem per week, for 4 weeks (28 days) 71.43 x 4 = 285.72 Steem
$ 285.72 x $ 1.78 = $ 508.58 per 10000 SP for 4 weeks giving each vote at 100% => $ 1.21 (Steemit's $).
1.21 $ of Steemit suppose 0.6 SBD + (0.6 / 1.78) SP = 0.6 SBD + 0.337 SP each vote to 100%
If we change the SBDs by Steem
(0.6 / 1.0500)==> 0.571 Steem + 0.337 Steem = 0.908Steem each vote at 100%
Maintaining 100% voting power can only be done if you vote every 2.4 hours, that is 10 times a day.
Every 10 votes in a day we would get a total voting power
9.08 Steem per day and in the 28 days we have leased the SP would be 9.08 x 28 = 254.24 Steem in the 28 days.
We spend 285.72 Steem and get at best, today at these prices 254.24 Steem
