Get upvotes by commenting, posting, etc. Don't post just to post - post something thoughtful.
This is more like common sense: Avoid bad behavior and things that may harm the community in order to prevent your reputation getting lowered by the downvotes of others.
Yes. At 57 you're reputation is high imo. This could be damaged if you were to get flagged by a lot of people (or just one whale) whose reputation is much higher than yours.
The main thing I did, I think, is focus on other people's needs and I tried very hard to help as many people as possible by providing high-quality comments. Most people get on Steemit and somehow try to "game the system" but the best thing you can do is provide as much value to as many people as possible in your own unique way. This means that you get to know your own strengths intimately. You have unique strengths that no one else has. Use them, in a beneficial way, but without thinking of how that will ultimately be benefitting you. That, to me is the key. I don't always succeed in this endeavor because of the human tendency towards self-interest. But doing it as a practice, it does become easier.
Create original content, adding value to the community. Once you do that, your reputation will go up based on how many positive votes(upvotes) you get. You can loose it, meaning, your reputation will start going down if you get the opposite, which is how many negative votes you get(downvotes).
I think this question is much more likely to be phrased
"WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO MY REPUTATION"
or
"WHY ARE YOU ALL FLAGGING ME"
To which I would answer.
"Being flagged by somebody whose reputation is higher than yours, can negatively affect your own reputation. If a mistake has been made or you wish to redeem yourself, you could try reaching out to the flagger before the time of your flagged posts payout.
There are two methods:

Thanks Stellabelle, i will follow your advice#1 first.
Not that i am interested in, but i heard you can loose you reputation as well. But only from members with a higher reputation, is that true?
