RE: UPDATED Steemit FAQ - Section: "Voting"

in #steemit • 8 years ago

Great post, thank you so very much for clarifying some points I was a bit vague about.

Over the course of the last few articles, I have tried to find a way to "PROMOTE" my articles, to give them more exposure and get higher rewards, but I don't have a "PROMOTE" button on the right hand-side at the bottom of the articles, do you happen to know why I am not "allowed" to promote my posts whether they are old or totally new? Thanks a lot for the offer to answer questions relating to anything Steem, it is very appreciated!

All for one and one for all! Namaste :)

    Question @eric-boucher
    Your above reply above has 2 votes currently, yet it is recorded at $0.00.

    I have noticed this on my blog as well. I have posts that have 6 votes, yet my actual post is worth $0.00 for the past few weeks. Can you or someone clarify? I am very new here.

    Thanks :)

    Very good question! The more Steem Power someone has, the more this person can leverage the total amount of Steem in the pool to reward YOU or themselves for this matter, for the work or interactions you have with this person. Thus, if a lot of people without much Steem Power vote for you, you might seemingly have nothing at all, only fractions of a Steem Dollar. Yet, if a person with lots of Steem Power votes for you at a high percentage of their power, you may end up with over $13.00 for one vote! I hope this helps you understand some more the intricacies of our platform?!.

    Namaste :)

    Are you trying to promote the posts after the first payout? If so, that isn't possible.

    No, I was trying to promote it from the get go, but I simply don't have the button that would allow me to do so, neither can other people see a button there either. So, I'm stuck not being able to promote article for which I spend 5 days and over writing! Grrrrrr... Any idea who or what i can do to solve this?

    Thanks a bunch for your quick reply, it is very appreciated, namaste :)

    Must be a bug. I'd post it in the steemit.chat #dev or #witness channel and see if they're familiar with that bug.
