RE: ▶️ Minnow Motivation🐟🐟🐟: How to Survive your First Month on Steemit without giving up

in #video7 years ago (edited)

Good Evening-

Thanks so much for you "calm" helpful video . I am trying ( however only investing a small amount of time daily) to understand the upvoting process. I get it in theory... However I don't understand how often I can upvote .... For instances sometimes I can give 2 cents and MOST times even after being off steemit for 8 or 10 hours .... I can vote but not give any money . I realize this should be SIMPLE ... but I must be missing something! Any way thanks for the informational video . I am not a blogger and doubt I will ever have a big following .... but I will keep trying to post interesting "short" posts about my re-selling business and NOT too many cat photos . Best to you!

Haha, keep the cat photos coming. There is a niche for that for sure.

About the voting process: You burn 2% or your voting power with each upvote. Every 24 hours you regenerate 20% voting power. That means you can upvote 10x each day to keep an equilibrium. As soon as you hit 500 Steem Power you get the slider that allows you to upvote less than 100% each time (confusing: not 100% voting power but 100% upvote which burns 2% voting power). Then you can upvote more often each day with smaller upvotes.

Since you have such a small Steem Power it happens sometimes that you upvotes don't show any higher payout number. Don't get bothered by that because your vote always counts. There are just fluctuations of the upvote pool and the steem price that make it look like nothing. It is never nothing so keep upvoting. As soon as you have gathered a little bit of Steem Power you will see your upvotes all the time.

Thank you, for taking the time to explain! have a great week!

Take a Tip! for your great comment!
