I might have done this a long time ago if I'd known it would be so easy. There is this nifty website called Steemvoter that allows users to automatically upvote blog posts authored by individual Steemit accounts they want to support.
I definitely will have a use for something like this down the road so I want to take it for a test drive.
You choose the Steemit authors you want to automatically upvote by setting rules. Each rule allows you to determine percent voting strength and amount of time after post publication. Thirty minutes after publication is the time that allows the curator to benefit the most from curation rewards if the post makes it big and didn't get slammed with lots of very early upvotes so that is the time I'm using. And in keeping with my general philosophy of voting full strength I'm sticking with 100%.
With the basics of how Steemvoter works out of the way, here is where the fun begins.
Who wants to be automatically upvoted by wiser for a time (not determined but probably at least one month)?
I'm looking for small minnows, because I want my upvote to really make a difference. A small minnow has less than 2,000 SP. If that's you, read on...
Please post a comment here telling me why I should add you to my botvoting list. Tell me a bit about yourself, what you're hoping to accomplish on Steemit, what kind of content you post and why I'm gonna love it. Please share anything else that you think would make me want to upvote everything you post for the next month.
Here are a few other qualifications:
I have to like your content. I'll take a look at your past content and see if it's a good fit. I'm pretty open minded but I don't do NSFW, or horror or drug promotion, new age or occult, and there are probably a few other things I'll shy away from. I'm going for wholesome, creative, informative, interesting, positive... that sort of thing.
I'd like to upvote each author on average once a day. When I asked people to tag their posts with the wantwiserupvote tag I limited tagged posts to once a day and that worked very well. If you post twice in one day every so often I'm not going to fuss, especially if you've also skipped days, but please don't regularly create multiple posts in one day just to draw lots of upvotes. If I think that is happening, I'll just delete the rule that tells my account to upvote your stuff, so let's not even go there.
Although this isn't school and I'm not going to dock anyone for a misspelled word or wrong use of punctuation, you do need to have a reasonable command of the written English language. You also need to have minimal formatting to make the posts readable (no big walls of text, etc.). A picture here and there is nice but not required. However, I recommend it as it seems to draw more upvotes from other people. Steemit curators like pictures :) If you're using someone else's work for your images, please cite sources by providing a link back to the original content. In short, I only want to automatically upvote stuff I would enjoy reading... if I had the time ;)
Small minnows only. Less than 2,000 SP. My upvote is worth four or five cents. I want it to make a difference for you, give you that boost that encourages you to keep going.
This is going to be a learning experience for me. I'm looking forward to hearing from a few small minnows out there. If you are reading this and happen to have a lot of small minnow followers, please kindly resteem this article to get the word out to them. Thanks :)
