Like you, I am a "blended UPvote" person.
Having two steemians a week that I will UPvote 100% for the week, once every day' then I go about my business and give 10% here, 15% there, another 20% here. I watch my SP on steemworld and am constantly making sure I keep my SP between a 50-60% at the end of the day.
I let it re-charge overnight and start off the following day with around 90-95% SP and charge forward again.
I agree with all you wrote...that is my approach @goldendawne.
Keeping the VP up is difficult and requires discipline but it is well worth it.
I do not want to give someone an upvote worth .10 when it can be worth .60...the only reason it will be down is because I failed to discipline myself to vote in a manner that protects my power.
Plus, when doing like you are doing (as am I) with the 100% upvote to help more newer ones along, we see a greater impact if our VP is up. Again, giving them a vote at 1/5 what it could be doesnt serve them.
Discipline was the hardest part when I first was able to help so many people, but I have honed in on my UPvoting and SP.
Yeah...now comes the part of giving all that SP away. I havent done a lot (nowhere near what @wwf did) but am making progress...just delegated my third batch out.
Just keep passing it all on.....the compounding effect.
I did my third Golden Ambassador over the weekend and we announced it today. Hoping to keep adding a new one once a month now.
I don't let my VP drop below where it can charge back up in 24 hours. With the Debate Forum and the Stewards of Terra Mater, I want my vote to be as high as possible. But I also want to reward people for coming to visit and post meaningful comments on my posts as well. So does not give me much room to do much else. lol
I had 100% of my SP delegated yesterday, but I keep making more steem each day and so now it is down to 99. 8% and it will keep dropping until I find yet another individual to delegate towards.
We really are rewarded when we give. :) <3 Bravo to the two of you for working it through and paying it forward! whoooohooooo
It has taken some thinking to get to delegate to people. I was nervous, as you both know, but now I am good with it.
My plan is to keep doing what I'm doing, keep moving forward and upward and adding a new delegate every month so I can have 12 people in 2018, guiding and assisting new steemians.
Bravo! Good for you!
Young lady, you do a lot more than that. The @qurator account showers the platform with incredible upvotes that are extremely encouraging and you should be very proud. It's people like you that are essential for user retention...
Thank you! I am constantly on steemit looking for new members and quality posts. I love what I do for qurator and being a SOG for @fulltimegeek has been such a whirlwind experience.
Wow he called you "young lady".
That means I am a "young man" also. 😁
well, I am 49.. and have five grandchildren. Not so young here!
Hahaha, you're both young and enthusiastic in the eyes of all Steemians!
Right on your heels at 48...
