As content creators, you want all your contents to be given high upvotes so that you receive high rewards when it pays out after 7 days. But in reality this is not what happens, a lot of people toil to produce what they think is a master piece only to receive cents as rewards and if you are luck you get about a dollar for all the hard work you put into the creation of your content. This can be very discouraging and to remedy that, your friend and partner @ketcom, thought it was best we pulled our resources together in a common community and have the community upvote every member according to their contributions to the community and that was how @upvotebuilders was born.
Free Upvotes
@upvotebuilders got an early sponsor by the name @michealb, we love this guy, he delegated 1000 SP to the project even before reading about the complete details of what it was about, he knew it was for the growth of members and that was the drive he needed to take action. We are indeed appreciative of his gesture and will forever remain grateful to him. @ketcom sent in 30 Steem and part of that was used to lease additional 1,200 SP for 4 weeks to bring the total SP of the community to 2,200 SP. With this, we offered free upvotes in part to test the setup of the community auto voting system and sensitize the Steem community about the new kid on the block - @upvotebuilders. Additional 100 Steem has been received from @ketcom to lease more power and promote todays post courtesy @antobrige. He is definitely a shy, but you had to be mentioned, thank you. With that and current membership, we are expecting our SP to hit 7,000+. We need more POWER!
Free Upvote Continues But…
For now, free auto upvote has ended, but as a way of continuing with our quest to get more members, we will be upvoting members with 100% voting weight if they make a post promoting @upvotebuilders or get 50% upvote voting weight if you promote or encourage membership of @upvotebuilders in your post. This post @blueeyes8960/actifit-blueeyes8960-20190218t042750084z by @blueeyes8960 is a good example of promoting the community in her post. So, mentions like that get you a 50% voting weight upvote. A full post about @upvotebuilders gets you the full 100%. If we have already upvoted your post we will upvote one of your comments. To curtail abuse, each member account will only receive such promotional appreciation upvote once starting from after this post goes live. This offer is not forever, so act while it is still on the table.
How @upvotebuilders Works
Upvote
It is very easy, members delegate Steem Power to Upvotebuilders based on the level they want to belong to as regards voting weight percentage and every day you make a post @upvotebuilders will upvote your post.
Curation
Each member will also receive a share of 30% of the curation rewards received by @upvotebuilders at the beginning of the week (every Monday). So, be encouraged to upvote our post as you will gain from it from two different angles i.e. through your own curation and from community curation.
Membership Delegation Levels
All membership delegation levels will receive one upvote daily (every 24 hours) this is to curtail abuse of the system. There are 10 levels of membership based on your SP delegation to @upvotebuilders.
Level 1: 10 - 49 SP delegation - 2% voting weight
Level 2: 50 - 99 SP delegation - 5% voting weight
Level 3: 100 - 249 SP delegation - 10% voting weight
Level 4: 250 - 499 SP delegation - 20% voting weight
Level 5: 500 - 999 SP delegation - 30% voting weight
Level 6: 1,000 – 2,499 SP delegation - 45% voting weight
Level 7: 2,500 – 4,999 SP delegation - 60% voting weight
Level 8: 5,000 – 7,499 SP delegation - 70% voting weight
Level 9: 7,500 – 9,999 SP delegation - 85% voting weight
Level 10: 10,000 SP delegation and above gets you 100% voting weight
You can always increase, decrease or undelegate to @upvotebuilders at any time and we will adjust your voting weight accordingly.

You can see there are more spaces for early birds so please hurry up and get them filled. Thanks.
Two accounts @mhm-philippines and @j85063 are beneficiaries of the early bird gift but have already posted before the choice of the gift came up. This will be remedied. Thanks for your support.
