Our New School Series: Lesson #1 How To Boost Your Posts Using MinnowBooster

We have decided to create a series of posts at approx. 1 per week to help our users learn about some of the fundamentals of Steemit and what to do and what not to do. We hope that users following this series that all follow our guide will start getting bigger valued posts, thus increasing exposure and in turn, following and number of upvotes. We decided to start our first lesson with the subject of: How To Boost Your Posts Using MinnowBooster. This method will get you an instant increase in value of your posts and will also increase the exposure of your posts.

Benefits of Boosting Posts for Promotion

#1: Extra Exposure & Visibility for Your Posts Steemit uses an algorithm to show "trending" and "hot" posts, here you will find the highest valued posts from Steemit in the relevant category. When there are low valued posts in particular categories you can actually have your post trending within that category with a small boost. This in turn will get real human eyeballs on your posts, thus increasing your chance of getting upvotes, followers etc. In some cases you may even find curator accounts upvoting your posts too! #2: Tiny Little Profit Using MinnowBooster will provide you with a tiny bit of profit on your boosts, for example: if you send $1 SBD then you would receive for example $1.3 SBD in upvotes (please be aware this is just an example and you must check MinnowBooster for actual profit %)

3 Simple Steps To Boost A Post Using MinnowBooster

You will need some SBD - you can either exchange Steem in the market or you can use blocktrades.io (buy Steem) button in your wallet to purchase SBD with either Steem or any other crypto currency like BTC, BCH, ETH.
Once you have your SBD you will need a link to your post, simply copy and paste the url from your browser.
Transfer any amount of SBD to @minnowbooster with the link to your post as the memo (posts must be no more than 47 hours old).

Important note: We advise you check https://www.minnowbooster.net/ before sending SBD as there are limits on the amount you can send. For example at the time of writing this post: $2.24 SBD is the maximum send value. Other amounts larger than this will be refunded, so make sure you double check first.

Whitelist Invite

MinnowBooster has a community driven whitelist which will unlock bigger upvote values for you (up to 100SBD) however you would need to be invited by an active member. Our admins are top active members of the whitelist and will invite you upon request. If you would like us to invite you then please leave a comment asking for us to invite you. We will of course only invite the best content creators.

MinnowBooster Account Sending Method

You can register an account on https://www.minnowbooster.net/ which unlocks all the benefits of MinnowBooster such as selling your own upvote and auto-claiming rewards etc. We do suggest creating an account as this way you do not have to transfer from your Steemit wallet. Instead you would deposit the SBD to your MinnowBooster account, then from your "balance" page you can paste your link to get an upvote using the available funds in your account. If you're a regular Steemit content creator then we suggest this method as it will also unlock other benefits too.

Try A Small $0.10 SBD Boost With MinnowBooster

Why not give it a try, simply do the following as a test:

Write a post and publish it to Steemit
Convert Steem or other crypto to SBD
Copy the url / link to your post from your browser
Transfer 0.1 SBD to @minnowbooster making sure you paste the link to your post in the memo
Wait 1 minute and refresh your post

Our Advice

The best advice we could give you for using MinnowBooster is to do the following:

Use your liquid Steem rewards to convert to SBD - saves depositing funds!
Boost every single post you write - even if it's a 0.01 SBD upvote!
Wait until around 1 hour after publishing before boosting your post - this will lower the curation ever so slightly
Make sure your posts are top quality content - this will gain human upvotes if you reach trending of chosen category

That's It For This Lesson...

Give this a try, you only have $0.10 SBD to lose! And check back next week for our next lesson!
