I thought it would be fun to do a run down of some of my highest paid posts throughout time. Next month will be 2 years now that I have been on blurt. It has been a learning experience, and maybe not as lucrative as I had hopped at first for now, but with the current value of my account being around $2,200 it is not completely a waste either. If blurt ever gets back to the 4 cent mark where it was at the end of 2021, it will be worth in the tune of $22,000 which is a nice chunk of change.
To make this a little easier to sort out I have basically listed every post I have made that got over 1000 blurt in votes. Maybe this will help others see what gets attention and maybe some readers that were not around in those times will find the recap interesting. Most of the posts that made it over a 1000 Blurt are from well over a year ago, which means that the consistency of my posting was better and played a roll. Things that get good votes are travel, life milestones, blurt goals reached, controversy, bikini's and posts about my own life.
So lets get started my highest paying posts from highest going down:
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/settling-into-my-new-position
What can I say? This post is near the top of this and I think all we have to do is see the featured image to know why. You can't argue with that. But on another note it was a big life announcement for me and I would like to think people were celebrating with me.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/diy/@leifasaur/bummer-surfboard-repair-dude-part-1-the-disaster
I would say this one made it to near the top of my list for a few reasons. I really got in the part and made it sound like it was written by a total surfer dude bra. Also I got my DIY on with some good picture and doing something in the real world that translated nicely to a a good written photo story.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/greetings-from-the-beach
This post is near the top of the list and as you work down the list you will see some themes in the top earning posts on this list. This is a personal post about my life, my beautiful wife is on the cover photo and I go into my farm, life on the beach, and work. An update about life with some great photos. This was also during a period where I was consistently posting which also helps.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/another-week-in-paradise-a-focus-on-the-farming
This post features a fun picture of a friend playing on the beach, goes into beach life and a lot of permaculture design and farming. This is a great all around post when I was posting quite frequently.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/powerclub/@leifasaur/slice-of-heaven-in-the-western-region
This post was a very high earner of votes. It featured some good fun and great photos with greenery, fun people, and beach paradise.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurt/@leifasaur/aftermath-of-hf6-and-hf7-a-minor-road-bump
About the only thing that gets more blurts than bikinis and travel on blurt is things that involve controversy and fear. Many will not remember HF6 and HF7 but the vote weights really changed during this time and it took some time for things to stabilize. This hurt many of the big curator accounts for a while and perhaps took some vim out of some of the solid accounts like r2cornell. But in the end like the title says this was all just a road bump soon forgotten and much sooner than our latest rounds of controversy.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/a-monday-morning-walk-and-an-intriguing-little-trap
My photo walk stories always do very well. Especially if they involve nature and something a little off beat like this little rodent trap we found.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/the-chaos-of-the-impending-storm
This short photo story did very well with votes. But it captured some of the natural drama very well in a sequence of photos. Perhaps I can experiment with some shorter very vivid short photo stories also.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/a-life-and-farm-update-from-the-past-few-weeks
I personally think this is one of my best farm posts as I have most of the structure laid out and starting to plant and have sprouts coming up. It also provides some life updates and my wife is ever present.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/blurtafrica-community-curation
Beyond my first post this was my first highest paying post and a popular announcement of the start of my curation project.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/part-2-the-traditional-wedding-and-court-house-marriage
Well for anyone who has followed my blog this was a big day for me and one worth celebration for any of my readers so it is no question as to why this post would get some good upvotes.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/introduction/@leifasaur/hello-blurt-world
I think it helped that I was on the discord and a facebook chat before I did my intro post. @jacobgadikian also did an introduction to for me to many of the active blurt members at that time.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/another-garden-update-no-rain-for-over-2-weeks
When I was able to be consistent with my garden posts they were well appreciated. It is always nice to see green and life on the computer screen.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/sundayfunday-at-the-beach
Another beach and personal life post.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/a-rundown-on-the-last-week-and-a-half-busy-life-in-paradise
This post contains a little bit of everything, gardening, farming, urban exploration and parts of my everyday life. It is real and genuine and offers a glimpse into another world for some people.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/fes-leather-tannery
This travel post about Fes in Morocco has some great pictures of a place that really takes you back in time. Things have not changed here in about a 1000 years and I am sure it is interesting to people living in the modern world. It sure was interesting for me to visit but the smell was horrible.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/hotel-management-and-permaculture-design-in-practice
This post is the first one on the start of my farm and the post that started a lot of interaction with @practicalthought who commented this is the best how to post he has read. I quite enjoy this post myself some good memories.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/clarification-of-my-curation-of-blurtafrica-or-what-gets-my-vote
This is another post on my curation project and an update and clarification on what gets my vote. One of the great things about being actively involved with a community is that when you post also there is active engagement and a great result in votes.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/from-surfing-to-survival-mode-in-the-blink-of-an-eye
Who does not love a good story with excitement an potentially life threatening consequences. It always helps to have a happy ending which this one does.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/contest/@leifasaur/blurt-dad-contest
This was a very personal post talking about my grandfather who is now passed. He was a great man and there are some great pictures of the both of us here. You are missed grandpa.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/new-beginnings-beach-life
This was the post announcing my new job and move to the beach resort. Posts featuring me and my wife and our life have always done well.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/togo-voodoo-market-where-you-go-for-super-powers
This post just offers a view into another world most westerners would find absolutely foreign and crazy. But there is is in living color for everyone to read and see.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/merry-christmas-blurt-and-a-walk-down-memory-lane
This is a very person post that shows Christmas in my life going back all the way to child hood. I think that people on blurt always appreciate people who are genuine and can really share interesting things about their lives. Everyone can hid behind a user name and go off about politics, crypto, pandemics and things but it is another thing to let people into your life with no mask on.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/last-day-in-tamale-and-red-clay-studio
Travel posts, with lots of good photos and art are some of my favorite to do and they seem to be appreciated.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/i-think-it-is-time-to-take-your-daily-dose-of-beach-and-melanin
This was probably the first time my photography got noticed and started to get some good votes.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/sunday-funday-at-the-beach
What more do I need to say, sex appeal, swim suites, beach. This makes for good reading and votes.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurt/@leifasaur/the-sweet-spot-1-000-blurt-a-day-for-165-days
This post was a nice coincidence I had 165,000 blurt and my account was 165 days old. Blurt always loves to celebrate successes together and it makes for some good votes.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/abundance-of-free-mulch-a-blessing-and-a-curse
This post covers some unique farming practices plus another update on the farm and garden, my life and my wife.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/tamale-weekend-visit-day-2-the-art-market
Another post with travel, art and my personal life. These posts do well.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/travel/@leifasaur/a-blurt-adventure-a-few-days-in-ho-chi-minh-city-vietnam
This is an epic post showing off an adventure in Vietnam. It is a little out of my normal coverage area and focused on the city with still a little bit of nature. Once again a good adventure paired with the story is a good combo to get votes.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurt/@leifasaur/excitement-of-hf6-has-calmed-now-lets-sit-back-and-see-what-happens
This was another post on the challenges after HF6. Things changed a lot in the Tokenomics and caused some fear in the community. But after a few weeks the votes stabilized again and it ended up being a good move for smaller accounts on the platform.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/3-days-and-3-nights-in-the-sahara-desert-photo-story
This was my first really good photo story about my Christmas in Morocco Trip. I think that the success of this post on Blurt and Hive led me to adapt this longer style of photo story posts for more of my posts going forward.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/blurtafrica-curation-report-5
When I first started doing curation reports they had good readership and would get good votes. After time time they hardly got any votes so I discontinued from writing the reports.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/blurtafrica-4th-weekly-curation-report
It is interesting that the 4th curation report came within 1 blurt of the 5th curation report. Maybe I need to go back and review these and see if I did anything different with these than I did on the last ones that I did that did not get much of a vote.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtphoto/@leifasaur/the-napa-valley-of-india-wine-country
Another travel post with beautiful photos. There is a strong Indian community on blurt and in this post I was showing some of the beauty of India and I am sure that community helped to boost this post to reach this list.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/camping-weekend-the-volta-loop-day-2-and-3
More swimsuits, camping, travel and road trips, a great combo for a post.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurtafrica/@leifasaur/long-overdue-first-post-of-the-year
Another very personal post bringing an end to the year and the start of another.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/photoblurt/@leifasaur/tursday-green-color-challenge-fresh-greens-50-shades-of-green
Wow what can I say the challenge asked for green on a Thursday and I really over delivered on this and shared an abundance of green.
https://blurtlatam.intinte.org/blurt/@leifasaur/500-000-blurt-power-goal-reached
This post was on a major milestone reached within blurt. Most people like to see people reaching their goals and having more blurt powered up.
Wow am humble and the same time motivated. Two years of blogging here in blurt. For me I haven't gotten any post close to the 1000+ threshold but I believe am getting closer each day.
I could remember when i First started I was getting around 12-25 blurt per post and after two months to attract blurtbooster vote getting around,100 blurt I feel more excited to write and last week one of my post hit a great milestone by hitting 800+ blurt. The better I write and create relationship the more I see improvement on my post vote.
Your posts are good and getting better and your votes are growing too. Just stay consistent and regular and you will get there.
Thanks for the message am happy
