Leo Premium has been around for a while now and following the most recent post by @kahl I thought I'd give it a trial run for a month.
It's $10 HBD a month and you can find details about how to subscribe here - it's quite simple if you've got Key Chain installed, and simple enough even if you haven't (it's just a direct transfer).
Khal's offering $30HBD back if you don't like Leo Premium after a month, the big selling point being that if you post just 4 decent posts a month, you're pretty much guaranteed to get yer Vest back through votes from the @leo.voter account...
NB with well over 2M HP delegated, that account has a vote value at 100% of nearly $100.
It rarely votes about 20%, but even at 20% you're getting yer $10 back, right there! (Half of 20 = 10!) (That kind of MATH should be work an upvote alone!)
For me it's a win-win...
I'm what I'd classify personally classify as a third tier Leo user - I'm certainly NOT in the inner circle or one of the 'Leaders of the Pack' but I have had interaction with a few faces and have a reasonable 30K LEO stack, so I've got a reasonable chance of getting some decent Upvotes.
I also like writing about finance content and this sort of motivation is perfect for me, I've been looking for new ideas recently and don't mind steering myself to write on finance stuff for a little more cash.
But what counts as quality...?
This is obviously subjective, but I'd say there's a pretty low bar. NB I know the difficulties as a curator finding decent stuff to vote on, good quality content is so thin one often ends up settling for decent content by people you like instead.
And unsurprisingly based on my experience that's what the @leo.voter account seems to be doing.
Take as cases in point.. two premium members get regular upvotes...
Have a look at this post by a guy everyone knows and loves - @trumpman. It got a @leo.voter vote... it's really just his typical thing.
And he does his thing daily around the chain and gets regular @leo.voter upvotes. No disrespect to the guy whatsoever, he enjoys himself by putting out relatively short posts about topics that tickle his fancy, and usually not too serious.
Someone else who gets regular upvotes is @cryptoandcoffee, a different type of content to @trumpman's, what you'd call more classically about world and crypto finance topics and this stuff seems to get slightly higher rewards than the former's. But while his material is decent, it's not 'uber amazing' - it's still fairly short form for the most part and of the format 'something going on and here's some brief analysis'.
But my point is this: if this content is getting regular @leo.voter upvotes, then all it should take for anyone to get such curation rewards is around 200-400 words, some basic skill, a bit of critical analysis, relevant pictures and some appropriate formatting and you are in!
At the end of the day, there isn't enough content demanding all that VP ATM!
So get onto it, get that leo premium on the go! And if you've got the time, churn out some REAL quality, depth posts, you MIGHT get a phat vote.
