Whenever you create a new post as a content creator after filling out your tag's, images etc you can see on the right side of your post sign, the 'Rewards' section. This made me very confused at first as i did not know what it was used for what power up meant, How the default '50/50' worked.
So withour further ado allow me to explain in the simplest terms what these mean:
Decline Payout : This is where u don't accept payout for upvotes on your post, highly suggest not using this option, it's like a facebook option kind of thing where even if your post is very popular you gain nothing from it.
Default 50/50 : This is where you share 50% of your total steem earned into steem dollars and steem power in a 50/50 proportion where if you earned 0.50 steem you'd have it as 0.25 steem power and 0.25 steem dollars, which depending on what you do can be good however i would go against it.
Power up 100% : This is by far the best choice for begginers as what it does is gives you 100% of your steem payout in steem power, so that you gain higher influence and since your starting post's have low incomes such as 0.01, 0.02, 0.03 steem there is nothing you can really do with that amount in Steem Dollars therefore it would be better to gain influence via steempower as this will make you more money in the long term.
Key Lesson : Use Power Up 100% if you're looking to grow on Steemit and are investing in the future.
