I really want to commend you for taking out time to advice newbies. Recently, I have been opportuned to meet with the Nigeria curators and some big boys here on steemit at the meet-up I organized in my school but I will never forget once ask them to upvote my post.
I advise all newbies to spend more time making quality post rather than going around begging for upvotes.
Steemit gives to you the same time and effort you give to it.
Keep steeming and keep growing.
