I do upvote of course @cablezero . I do believe there is a bit of strategy to upvoting. I am trying to figure it out. So for now, I will up vote my own articles, and anyone elses between about 15 minutes but before 30 minutes from posting the article. But please do not be discouraged. I have been involved in Bitcoin for a little while, and find STEEMIT is also a likely success, so read some of my articles, it will help you to better understand. Thanks.

The time of upvoting your own article doesn't really count, because you receive both the author and the curator rewards. But you are right, if you see a trending article you should vote it before the crowd.
At some authors I even upvote it around 10 minutes to be in the first 1%, in this way I get only about 25% of the curator rewards, but from a bigger curator fee.

Got It @spiz0r I appreciate the info. Will keep that in mind.

Remember to check your voting power at steemd.com/@username so you get most efficiency from your votes. (just in case you didn't know about it)

I'm myself closing in at 1000 SP soon too, just after 3 weeks of being active here. :)

Thanks @acidyo both for the upvote and the info. I'm on it.

So, can I ask you: how much is worth your upvote when you are 99% charged?

@cablezero4 I am going to guess around .04 SBD and No Up Vote for the Article??

Thanks for the upvote @cablezero4

good point. He hasn't even upvoted his own content.

@himalayanguru I did upvote. Still waiting for your upvote of the article.
And ps. to all those that upvoted, send a positive comment so I can upvote it. It's the least I can do. Thanks
