In term of applications, try and use #esteem app, they provide upvote up to $1 presently, and when steem rises it can Upvote to $1.5 by just using there app. Though they take 25% of your post payout.
Also partiko and busy.org too, little Upvote though, $0.002 but you get a token for each time you use there app. Which can be monetise later. They don't take part of post payout. 😁
Delegate as little as you have to steemhunt, you will get the reward soon, trust me,
Also. Do same for clean planet, and some others, they provide reward for delegating to them, more like a passive income.
Ulog your day once too on the ulog site.
