The Final Tally is in And Commenters Are BIG Winners!

In one of my latest posts: The Old Dog Asks: Can YOU Succeed On Steemit Simply By Commenting? Meet @eric-boucher I wrote about how Steemers can get a good start toward being successful here on Steemit by COMMENTING.

Thanks to some great support, not only was the post quite successful but so were the commenters!

I added up the value earned on all of the comments and the results were very encouraging!

Here is The Raw Data!

Post Payout: $350.27
Total Payout on all Comments: $163.71 (not too bad!!)
Total value between the post upvotes and comment upvotes: $513.98
Commenting payouts to @eric-boucher $41.73 (one of Steemit's commenting experts struck again)
Commenting payout to @kus-knee $27.77 (add this to my post pay out and I can't complain!)

Is Upvoting Your Own Comment Ethical? Is it Frowned Upon?

This was asked by several Steemers based on what they read in my article. Here is what I wrote about it in the post:

Some good questions were then raised. Notice my response to one of them:

This little interchange was a nice sharing of ideas but it also netted @cryptokash $1.64 (not too shabby!)

What Do You Think?

Have you realized that commenting is a great way to earn on Steemit?
Are you beginning to get noticed by your comments?
Are you surprised to see the high total paid out for comments on some posts?

I hope that you enjoyed this post on being very calculating and then watching your comments add up!

Until next time,
