Why do I embrace the idea of fully organically posts?
It gets harder and harder to differentiate what the community thinks is a good post and what the authors thinks is a good post. Everyone can look at their work and say "Yeah, that should at least be 100 dollars". By promoting other opportunities for people to take different paths it is my hope to move people away from this market and start growing their account and posts in an organic and healthy way for the platform. While I do believe promotions has its uses for special scenarios, it is far from necessary for the average steemian
Without further a due let's proceed to the real part of the article, In each article, I will go into depth about 1 new opportunity to find extra payouts as an organic author!
This episode: Dtube
Since Dlive decided to leave us with our pants down many people are starting to look into Dtube. While Dtube does come with some disadvantage such as they are taking 10% beneficial from your post(more on that later) there's actually a good chance when you are posting a video that will come around with a big vote for your video.
Now, lets first clear up the 10% beneficial that dtube "steals" from your post, what is it used for? 10% might feel like a high number but before the hardfork they were actually taking 20% of your posts payout.
Before you go crazy, no, this is not some centralized tax system for using their platform. According to dtube, the 10% goes to reward curators, something that is heavily underrated on the original steemit. What they are trying to do is give curation more value by taking from the posts and give to the curators. It is actually an interesting experiment although I am not sure how well it is working out for them.
Personally, 10% is not that much when you think about it. But it can be quite a lot if your posts get high payouts. So paying for bidbots to vote on your Dtube videos could be a very bad investment for you(luckily we are not using bidbots here, are we?)
So why on earth would I post on Dtube?
Because of the vote they give. While you will not receive a vote every single time you post a video, it is indeed to my own experience relatively frequent. The vote you receive is usually around 20 dollars worth. I believe it is actually close to 40 or 50% of the time that I have received a vote from on my videos. (just look at my latest one, that one received a vote). Trust me, when you get those vote you forget all about the 10% loss.
I think it is at the point where Dtube has been giving some of my best payouts. Surely it is a bit of a dice roll if you get it, but still, it is a great way to mix up your articles with some videos instead. Allowing you to produce more content, get a bit more creative and possibly get a huge vote your way.
Nonetheless, a great way to boost your posts Organically
