So, quite a few people have "resteemed" some of my posts, and I am grateful. The question however is "does it really help all that much?" I suppose if someone is up to level 74 the impact on resteeming would be much greater (more subscribers to give a thumbs up). I'm still not to sure about the resteeming initiative. For instance on one of my posts 2 people resteemed my article and the paid out was only another few cents. My advice... Make some friends on Steemit with very high levels. More opportunity to get more votes up. Good Luck.
Another question I have, does it count against you when you resteem a lot of posts? Tell me your thoughts and stories about resteeming.
Life is Good, take hold and go for it.
I used to do almost no re-steeming. My main goal is for people visiting my blog to read what I write, not what other people write.
However, I've been doing more re-steeming lately. Some articles are just too good not to share with my followers. When I re-steem a good article, it helps my followers who otherwise may not have seen it.
It also helps reward the author. If my followers see and vote for the article, the value goes up. Re-steeming is a kindness, particularly to minnows.
😄😇😄
Thank you for sharing valuable insight. It's really helpful especially for beginners like me.
great words ©creatr! You earn my follow, up vote and resteem :)
Yes awesome way of putting resteeming, earned my following also!
Thanks for the reply. This helps.
thanks for your advice :)
Thanks much for the post sandara
sorry i cannot upvote right now because my steempower is too low 3 days make it full..promise i vote for you as soon as i can !!!
@twinner recently resteemed one of my posts and it made a big difference. Established steemers who are selective with resteems are probably the key.
This does make sense. Thanks.
@crowe - That's one big question in my head. I think it does make a difference to creating more "brownie points" but I'm yet to try and find out!
Thanks for the post. I'm learning as I go too. Cheers.
It works and let us see what change you get from me resteeming this post. Maybe nothing changes, but I'm betting it you will get a few upvotes from strangers. @crowe, Steem On!
I'm a follower of @runridefly , and now I'm upvoting this post. Imagine that :)
Thanks runridefly. I appreciate the resteem on this post. I'll be anxious to see the results. Cheers, and thanks again.
Second that one! :)
You are going to be able to know if reesteem works 'cause you are going to be resteemed a lot!!!
We will see. That would be interesting to see the stats if this was resteemed a lot? Thanks. I am following your blog now. Cheers.
@crowe , resteem❤ is sharing works of others to your followers if you wanna support their work. I do it when i see creative posts which are still undervalued. While curators often upvote and resteem posts to increase the payout so that it would earn them a handsome curation reward..
Ah, that is where curation rewards come from. I see. Thanks.
that makes sense. but how much does really a curator get the share?
Depends on the SP the curator has.. The more voting power the curator has during voting and voting weightage he uses the more he earns curation reward if the post goes really well.. I've seen curators (whales and dolphins) earning more than 2k sp in a week just by curating posts.
isn' t it a win2 solution for dolphin and whales, they help others to get better payment, and they get more SP in return?
but of course on a good post.
@ekavieka They are helping the minnows a lot. It's because of them ,most of the time minnows get what they expect from a post to their satisfaction.. Hahaha. Win2 situation is because most of them have invested in SP, so curation reward for them is like interest of that SP. So, I'm never jealous lol
hehehe yes they are. i forget that part. LOL
thank you so much for your explaination. that answer alot.
You're very welcome ;)
Resteeming can make a difference, mostly for the original poster. A resteem reaches a new (at least partly) group of followers, so the post is wider and longer visible. For the resteemer it gains not all that much, from my experience.
I dont mind if people resteem, if its done from honest interest. Only if I see people who resteem lots of high upvote posts, because they think they can participate on the high payout, I find it a little cheap.
Well said .... if it's done from honest interest ......
This has been my experience as well. When I see people resteeming 20 posts in a row It makes me wonder why? I'll simply try and focus mainly on my posts. Cheers.
I have resteemed a few times and I am not sure of the effect it has on me. I do not see the advantage of resteeming and would appreciate it if anyone could let me know what they are?
Thanks
When you resteem, you are putting that article on the wall of all your followers. So new people see the article with more possible upvotes. If more people upvote, the payout pie gets bigger, therefore, your slice of the pie becomes larger. Hope that helps.
Makes sense. Thanks uvas.
Yes the pie gets bigger but more people get a part of it so does my share get that much bigger?
I 2nd that motion. Here Here. Cheers.
As a relative newbie I try not resteem as I want people to see my post instead of scrolling through other people's post first. Since I have very little traffic anyway resteeming articles does not benefit the post being resteemed.
However if I was a whale with hundreds of followers then resteeming will have a huge impact on the post. My followers will likely upvote the post because they will have similar taste as I.
Thanks for the post marcusxman. I am now following your blog. Cheers.
I haven't blogged in while, but hope to start again soon, but thanks for following. I've also added you to my follow.
Resteeming is important to me because I want to spread messages about health and endangered species to name but two. I want articles to reach a wide as possible audience so I am very happy to be resteemed. I do understand that many steemers are motivated by payments and for them I don't think resteeming makes a great difference.
Nice topics you resteem. That is a great idea to help spread your beliefs. I am now following your blog. I like that you focus some on endangered species.
Thank you for kind comments :)

WOW! I wish it was at the $72 range. I'm still unsure how posts are judged? Thanks screenname.
I think resteeming does not hurt - but I have had similar experiences where resteemed posts receive limited attention.
I personally resteem some posts, perhaps 5 per cent of my submissions and mostly those that I really think highly of or posts that are supporting a charitable cause.
However, if a user is resteeming more than 3 a day, i consider unsubscribing. While it is sometimes useful - it is overused in my view. People want to hear from authors, not necessarily a resteem. Otherwise our feeds get spammed with content we did not subscribe to.
Some additional thoughts on Loving Thy Feed here.
ch @globocop
That is a great insight. I appreciate that. I will think of that when I do resteem someone's post. I am now following your blog. Thanks again.
I think it does help to keep the content fresh and near the top of the newly listed posts. Also, if I find a post that I think is useful and UNDERVALUED, I want to share that post so my followers can earn a little too. Maybe lets try Re-Steeming this post often, and see the effect. I'm sure some of my followers might agree and do the same. Thanks @jbcoin
A great idea. I'm game. I am also following your blog now. Cheers.
I believe resteeming is a good thing, it allows content that someone liked to have a potential wider audience which in turn could, (no guarantee that it will) allow for a larger reward to the author and the curator too.
If more see your work then statistically at least some may upvote it... Is this not good?
Great point. More added insight. I am learning. Cheers.
Even if the resteemed is a minnow they will introduce you t a few more followers
Very true. Thanks twirble. I am now following your blog.
Likewise:)
The way I see it is that steemit is a distributed courtroom and resteeming is the way of presenting evidence. It should really only be used to support ones own case and not just be a redirection to another author.
Excellent insight. I like the court aspect you throw into the picture. I am now following your blog. Cheers.
As written in my article a long time ago...
Thanks nrajesh
Resteeming can get profit both author and resteemer. When your friends like this post author get rewards and you can get notice from other peoples and may increase your follower numbers.
On one hand, I think resteeming does increase visibility. As I understand it, if I resteem a post that was published six hours ago, it appears as "new" in my followers' feeds.
That said... it also seems that a LOT of people are only interested in original content. They are less likely to click on a resteem than someone's original post. I also know that when I check out someone's profile and see that almost everything there is resteems rather than THEIR content, I'll most likely pass on following them. So I would use it pretty sparingly.
The only exception might be resteems that are helping a newcomer with their "introduce yourself" post.
A wise answer. Thanks for this post reddragonfly.
I see the "real" resteem as an appreciation of the author's work. Is my way of saying: I think is a great post, I took something valuable from it and I believe the other can do this also.
I see it as a recommendation and even if I don't know how much effect has on the earning side for sure there is a chance that at least one extra person will read it. This is good enough for me:)
I like this answer a lot. So many people out there resteeming everything and then there are people like you that use it sparingly only for good valuable posts. Thanks for sharing alinamarin. I am now following your blog.
Those that resteem are curators. It does help because every restreem can result in a follow or additional interest in your account. In addition, those that resteem have ability to act as a curator which can potentially earn steem. There are stories of accounts which engage actively resteeming top posts. If you have people resteeming your posts it's a great thing to have going for you on Steemit!
Great post way to get a conversation going on this basic matter made me feel a lot better about resteeming or not and what happens when one does.
that was helpful thanks, i have the same questions.
