Hi there, I'm only seeing one post by you (this one)...be sure to make the most use of tags when you post to help others see them. For example, I see you used the 'introduceyourself' tag for this post, but you could've used up to 5. Since this was a question, you might've added tags like 'question' or 'help' for example. Upvoting is a bit of a complex topic. Be sure to read the quick start guide here: https://steemit.com/welcome#Upvotes and here's another post that might be helpful with other questions you might have: https://steemit.com/steemit/@intelliguy/steemit-faq-frequently-asked-questions-common-myths-and-misconceptions

Basically an upvote is a button to show you like something, and you should only use it when you really do like something. :) Take some time to research how Steemit works, and don't worry about getting upvotes at first. Focus on making good content and tagging your posts well and the upvotes will eventually come. Also, read other people's posts here and interact with them...upvote others and leave nice comments for them. :) I hope this helped some. All the best!
