my ''strategy'' is to not worry about the voteswhat i have done and keep on doing which hasn't earn me much money or votes but in general a pretty decent amount (from facebook i would get 0 $) and some loyal friends along the way is to make a post once per day or maximum 2 days that i like the subject (without caring if the others would like too) while at the same time i manually upvote each and everyone i want.

I have made a deal with myself to only upvote posts that i read or at least read most of them and try to make useful and ''good'' comments. First ones come the people i am following and even among them i try to be fair and share a different % to a post that's just an image or a meme with an in depth post that took some hour to be completed.

After that i try to find other random posts if i have the time and upvote and comment too. I am open to help anyone and i give them suggestion via commenting and even sometimes i urge them to talk with me in steemitchat! To all those who send me upvote for upvote and follow for follow, just to inform you not gonna happen

i hope i don't tire you i type a lot :p i think those things are relatively easy for everyone to follow and at the end they will gain some votes if that's the only they wish for
