Exactly the more Steem Power you give yourself by purchasing Steem and powering it up, the more each vote is worth that you make! With my investment of about $30,000 I can essentially pay myself $50 a day on Steemit just by voting up my own posts and comments in addition to what others do! Instead of paying myself out, I usually try to vote every comment up and vote lots of other people's posts up because this tends to build goodwill that leads to my posts getting voted up too! I voted your comment and mine here to demonstrate!
