OK time to see if passive income from delegation works! Still figuring out Steemit. I started out posting on Cryptokitties. Didn't really gain a big following. Most of people that generated views and upvotes were running giveaways. I played the giveaways for awhile. Won a few cats but not much money. So then I've spent some time paying bots for upvotes. Reinvested everything in more upvotes. Got my posts up to $2 or $3 per post. But realized return on bots was hit or miss and mostly miss. Most of the growth in my payouts was due to actual Steemit users upvoting me. So now delegation. This is really my second try. Last week I delegated to a user advertising an upvote restreem service only to look in his wallet and see no payouts! So that was a week of waiting for my delegated steem power to come back. So I investgated more and came up with @whalebuilder. 1) there is a bot on steembot tracker 2) there are clearly described payouts from his wallet 3) there is enough SP delegated to him to give some comfort.
Wish me luck! Bring on the divvies!
