The easiest way to earn on Steemit is to be amongst the first write relevant comments that provide value in some way, on posts created by Steemwhales or Dolphins.

(Unless you hit the jackpot and post a $30,000 post... not easy)

Why?

Because, being Steemwhales or Dolphins, their upvotes are worth real money. Sometimes cents and sometimes whole dollars... but always something.

(In case you haven't heard, a Whale is just someone holding massive Steem Power and a Dolphin is someone holding a decent amount).

How can you find these posts before anyone else?

By using this tool --> Steemitx.com along with a list I have put together.

Steemitx.com is an awesome tool created by @discombobulated (please click here to upvote him and contribute towards his time) which is based on the original code by @roelandp (please click here to recognise his work too).

Method:

1. Open Steemitx.com in a new browser tab.

2. Paste in my list of Whales & Dolphins

3. Watch the right side of the screen for notifications about New Posts by the users.

4. Jump over to that post, read it and if you genuinely like it, then upvote it and write a comment that provides value by furthering the discussion (you can't fake that part guys, it stands out like a sore thumb).

Real Example:

I found a new post by @andrarchy:

I didn't comment because I was just using it for this example... but I came back 8 hours later and...

The post got some decent attention and the first person to comment (intelligently) could have earned a decent commission.

My list includes everyone over about $3,000 worth of Steem from the Richlist.

Have fun and don't forget to upvote this post if it helps you!
