Thank you for making sure we follow the proper etiquette of asking a vote.
I would say it is common sense for every steemian to know that any post with effort and with purpose to inform us deserve a big upvote.
At the same time it is somehow discourage for any post to ask for an upvote.
Diligently it is important for each steemian to use sagacity and ask for upvote and follower.
To make it easier, advertise yourself everywhere and that way, steemian will feel naturally oblige to follow and upvote you.
Again THANKS @jerrybanfield for holding on and provide dedicated posts till May 2017.
Enough said !
Keep on steemit.
