Thank you guys for coming back, sorry it took me so long to get back to this but I've been busy with my kids birthdays (my daughter's first) and my mother in town. And sorry I'm not the best writer ๐ more of a researcher and a man who loves to stare at charts.
Alright so I wanted to do a pt 2 after checking my rewards for a few days and here's what I've got.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?๐ฒ
So a few things caught my attention, for one, voting before 3 min results in the author receiving 100% of the reward.
That doesn't seem to be entirely true
Once I figured out what curating was I started following all the best bloggers and jumping on their posts IMMEDIATELY!! I was checking my phone every 3min as though my life depended on it.
What I found is that the reward isn't 0, it is small but not 0
As you can see there are some decent numbers there. But what I did find is that for the whales I got a much smaller reward as I placed my vote almost immediately.
LET'S GET PHILOSOPHICAL
If I am the first person to upvote on my post am I not also a curator?
So will I receive a curators and author reward?
COMMENT ON POSTS YOU LIKE
Seriously, if you took the time to read it (or slim through it) why not also put a comment? But not just copy paste:
Hey great post!
Good article
I love golf (when the topic is football)
So just take five seconds and think through a good comment, AND UPVOTE
A big mistake I see are people not uniting their own comments! Comments are organized in order of trending and most people don't upvote their own comments.
If your going to take the time to write a good and thoughtful comment you should make sure it gets seen! Just 1 upvote early on can put you ahead of the game!
Also POWER UP!! If your already in crypto currency and on steemit wht wouldn't you invest in yourself?
Think about it, the more Steem power YOU have the more YOUR upvote is worth, you can now have a greater effect on the posts you like and for yourself!
Never invest more than what your willing to lose
This concludes most of what I've noticed thus far, if I missed anything or if you have any questions feel free to leave it in the comments!
Thank you for coming to read, upvote, comment or resteem!! Any support is appreciated.
