RE: How Newbies Avoid Frustration on Steemit

in #steemit7 years ago

I'm on upvote timeout. One other thing I've learned recently is that you have to focus more on commenting than upvoting when you're new, or you'll run out of power! I came to this realization the other day when I saw that my upvoting people wasn't even giving them a penny. Then I took a look at steemworld and saw that my % was very low and that I needed 50 hours to be at full again! That's more than 2 days!

So until I build up SP, I'm being really sparing with the upvotes (mostly saving them for articles) and just interacting in comments. The only time I upvote comments are if I'm in a back and forth exchange with someone where they are really adding value to the conversation. Then to end the conversation, instead of replying I'll upvote their last comment to show appreciation for the entire exchange. I share this so that you don't run into the same issues with SP if you're upvoting a lot.
