--- Hey folks, [@Techblogger](https://steemit.com/@techblogger) here with an important invitation from [@MinnowBooster](https://steemit.com/@minnowbooster). There are minnows out there that could really use your help and in this article I'm going to explain the challenge and provide an exciting opportunity for you to pitch in and help minnows with us! With whales dominating hot and trending pages and organized voting groups taking a large portion of the Steem reward pool these days, minnows have very few ways to gain visibility. One of the best ways they can do this is by using the MinnowBooster vote selling market to grab a little boost. MinnowBooster is and always be a service dedicated to serving minnows and helping them become more successful on the platform. We want to help each and every minnow but these days that is becoming increasingly difficult. Due to the massive growth of our userbase, we're completely out of votes to offer minnows. A lot can be understood simply by looking at this chart which can be found on the [MinnowBooster](https://www.minnowbooster.com) homepage: ![](http://image.ibb.co/h3xzyH/Screen_Shot_2018_03_01_at_3_27_09_PM.png) As you can see we need your help in filling in this chart with adequate vote availability in all SBD send ranges. Anything you can do to lend a hand will be greatly appreciated! Lets make March the month of Minnows and give them a little boost! ### How to use the vote selling feature with @MinnowBooster --- The following tutorial was written by a very talented author that goes by @ilyastarar. It and more can be learned by reading his complete @MinnowBooster guide which can be found here: https://steemit.com/minnowbooster/@ilyastarar/understanding-minnowbooster-how-to-use-minnowbooster-7-minnowbooster-services-you-should-know-about

You need to enable vote selling to @minnowbooster by sliding the button to green. Then you should authorize the bot to vote on your behalf. Then you can adjust the minimum Voting Power below which the bot should not vote on your behalf. Finally, do not forget to update your information. Too much to digest? See the screenshot below.

After enabling vote selling, you also need to authorize MinnowBooster to use your account to vote by clicking where asked. Clicking will take you to the authorization page. Click continue and enter your posting key to enable vote selling. Use active key only if you wish to use other services too.

Do not forget to click the UPDATE button to save your settings.

Let me share with you what happens after saving these settings. Whenever my VP is 75 or above, my account is used to give upvotes to users who send SBD and post URL to @minnowbooster. My vote is worth $1.30 at 75 % VP right now so anyone who sends upto approx 0.4 SBD to MinnowBooster can be voted by my account. For example, if someone sends 0.4 SBD to MB for vote and my account is used to vote on that post, I will get 85 % of the sent amount credited in my balance. In simple words, I earn 0.34 SBD from that vote.

I calculated my SBD earnings from 18 December to 19 January just from vote selling and they turned out to be 55.695 SBD. This was made possible because I had used another MB service (SP leasing) to get some delegated SP for four weeks for just 25 Steem. Through vote selling alone, I earned so many SBDs that it was more than triple of my initial investment.

Now you can understand why I am creating a complete guide of MinnowBooser economy. I have benefited massively from this opportunity and I wish to share each detail with you. Here is some of the information that will help you use this service efficiently.

By selling your vote, you earn 85 % of all the SBD against which your vote was used. Massive!

Since MB is taking 0.01 SBD as minimum bid on posts, you need to be able to give a vote at least worth $0.03 to have a chance. At current Steem price, at least 75 SP is required. Drop in price will increase the minimum SP requirement and vice versa.

A full vote will cost you 2 % VP. VP is the only cost you pay when your account is used for voting. Set minimum SP such that you can upvote posts from the authors you follow and the comments on your posts too. Dedicating all you VP to MinnowBooster is greedy unless you are unable to be active for some weeks or months.

You can view the history of your vote selling and even the posts on which your vote was used. Randomly visit these posts to check them for quality and if you see an abuse, report in the MinnowBooster discord channel.

You can always see your earned SBD balance on the site and withdraw it to your Steemit wallet.
