@steemsecrets": Hi precious steemit family, i am @maylyn09, a minnow on steemit but "whale inside" and i am speaking to you in the words of
Many would relish knowing what they need to do "with their steemit content", to attract votes from large accounts e.g whales and dolphins and isn't this awesome; but while the very popular knowledge is, "i have to write great content" etc..........; have you ever sat down to understand the underlying dynamics behind "an upvote"?
"Is an upvote all that free?"
Perhaps, if you identify this "dynamics" and establish what "an upvote" really costs or if it even has a cost....; you will do way-way better in attracting it, thus, speeding up your steemit journey.
So, imma tell you a few more things about an "upvote", that you may never get to hear of elsewhere, yet, could put you in demand, for receiving incessant upvotes.
I tell you, the solution to many challenges is in that "first simplest, obvious solution" but many times we jump to the Nth complexest solution, first. Yes, many solutions aren't in outer-space but we tend to go there alot.
"For attracting upvotes, the solution is very much down-to-earth". "No geek knowledge required!"
Hahaha, before you become tempted to be vexed at others, for not giving out their upvotes to you freely, even when you create the best content; let's tackle some scenarios, to help us see if that free-looking, simple click-action called an "upvote", is all that free?
First let's touch on that simple-looking "whale upvote". Look at this scenario:
Now, 
Listen to the possibly "many dynamics", that could go into this simple-looking decision-making; "to upvote or not to upvote".
Please note that "an upvote" not only distributes rewards; "it also brings a post to more visibility".
So, what do you think? "Will
A whale upvote can easily involve "a giant responsibility".
e.g
Considering this "a responsibility", a once simple-looking upvote, now becomes a more "giant action" involving "responsibility".
"It is no longer only about his preference or desires".
So here:
Then, this brings us to......
An upvote can easily represent your preference.
Now, if he cares about his "responsibility" towards many others, will he want to upvote such content, solely based on the notion that it was well-written and be portraying a misleading preference?
Will he upvote just a little, to bring the post to just minimal visibility, while also encouraging the content creator for effort? Or will he just "skip past" this time?
Bringing us to......
A whale has a giant reputation to guard.
What about his reputation? In many cases; "it is big!"
e.g
Hahaha while you may simply be looking to attract "whale votes", a whale might be weighing alot of other dynamics, within that simple decision-making: "to upvote or not to upvote" and there is more.......
That takes us to.......
A simple-looking whale upvote can have giant consequences for the whale.
"Hahaha, did you know?" While you relish getting the rewards and visibility, a whale who is upvoting you may be busy bearing some consequences.
Now, alot depends on the whale involved.
e.g even if "blue is the new red" wasn't plagiarized etc, what if it is fake news? What if it is too controversial and the whale likes to stay neutral? What if it involves money-decisions and the whale cares "not to influence the community's decision-making" etc
When a whale upvotes, there are more eyes, thus, whales are likely to be more wary before deciding whether to vote giantly, smally or whether to skip past
"There are many more things than just valuable content involved!" Yes!
So let's touch on one more......
The bigger picture!
Whales tend to look at the bigger picture more. Many of them may favor steem growth over momentary emotions or the luxury-look of content.
And steem growth constitute alot of things....... e.g It can involve "what should trend during a particular period"; the state of the steemit community; "growth in particular niche or industry" etc
e.g
On Feb 14, a whale may envision that a simple "meme" containing "a tomato" is more technically-positioned to do well in attracting "memers" to the steemit, if such post trends as opposed to a well-endowed post saying "blue is the new red" etc
Overall, speaking of "cost"; the cost of a simple-looking upvote; "i can tell you, that it is not all that free!"
You see, even in the case of "a minnow", there is a cost!
e.g being a new account and keen on accruing steem power or curation rewards, a minnow may conserve or reserve his upvotes, for posts that he perceives to be likelier to trend, inorder to maximize the use of his "10 daily 100 percent upvotes" quota.
You see, in general, each administered upvote depletes "voting power", giving "an upvote" additional value as something to cherish and thus, "a cost".
If an upvote was so so so "free" afterall, why bother or stress to look at content; "you might as well give as many upvotes away as you want, freely", but hey there, "an upvote has a cost" and perhaps, "the bigger the account, the huger the cost".
You may never get to hear of this INTEL elsewhere because "no books" involved but this is something to ponder over: "when you understudy a whale in relation to how to attract their upvote, apply the "bigger picture" and understudy even the tiniest elements".
Many times the most utmost substance, is findable in the very tiniest elements. This applies to life success and success on steemit, for sure.
And before i leave: if you can establish the true cost of the "particular breed of upvote" that you seek, you will attract it more effectively.

Note: We will celebrate each minnow as whales and whales as whales, for Each one will learn while teaching this rare knowledge and will become "whale inside" after each endeavor as we build a shareable library of the fastest-rarest "Steemit" speed-up knowledge in the most assimilateable sweet bits.
Then, "fulfilling success" we will attain!
Knowledge dispensed is "life knowledge" underlyingly and this applies on steemit and beyond. Please see the other releases on @steemsecrets if you haven't.
At the end of each exercise, each participant will be "whale inside" on steemit, in the ocean and in real life.
Follow @steemsecrets, so that you never miss out on any release! Contact us to share in the celebration by featuring on our channel, else we will be contacting you soon!
