Here are some key points to know about UPvoting. rewards and times to best UPvote-
See this link to read the entire post and article with recommendations.
UPvote before 15 minutes you give 99.94% to the author and get 00.06%
UPvote after 15 minutes you give 50% to the author and receive 50%.
UPvote after 30 minutes you receive 100% curation reward.
Hi @goldendawne, can I piggy-back onto this question. I've read an article explaining what you just said about the timing of upvotes and I've kept it in mind while I've been upvoting, and still nothing. Actually, I did get a handful of manual curation rewards in my early days on Steemit, but nothing for the last 11 days, even though my Curation activity has steadily increased since day 1.
And, the value of my upvote did go up for a bit and is now back to zero, even though I use steemworld to watch my voting power and keep it no lower than 79% at a minimum. Could both of these problems be related to me having low SP? I've finally gotten mine above the original ~15 that was delegated to me, but since they take that back as mine grows, it's still hovering right there. I just figure I'm doing something wrong, and hoping you can shed some light?
I had just been thinking to myself the other day how great it would be to have someone you could hire as a consultant to look at your blog and give you feedback, and then I find you today through @asapers and you are offering this for free! I realize you may not still be offering this since it said it was for yesterday. But, if the offer still stands, I'd love any critiquing @coachjj. Thank you!
Good morning!
I scrolled through your page, comments, replies and posts for a minute and I do see some UPvotes coming in sporadically through your comments but most have replies with many having no UPvotes. So, you are interacting with people and they are responding; so no problem there. It just seems as though the UPvotes are slow coming in for you... for now.
I am by no means an expert with SP, voting power and how the breakdown of the payouts happen. I have read many posts explaining the payout amounts and (author/curator) rewards and still have a difficult time understanding all the ins-and-outs.
I learned early on NOT to pay attention to my wallet; as it will become addictive and overwhelming- as I think about the posts, comments and payouts versus the dollar amounts and SP building up in my wallet.
I really wish I could help more with the understanding. Maybe this article can help more. Midway down in the reward pool distribution section is explained and gives an example; including how it has to do with who votes before or after you.
Thank you @goldendawne for taking the time to go through my page and give me your thoughts. It's funny what you said about:
When I was newer, you're right, I WAS obsessive about it. Lol. But, at some point, I got so busy with my friends that I started to forget about it, and that's when it got fun!
I know you hear it so often how thankful we are off your help, but I hope you realize how much it's truly meant. It's just amazing to see all these people here, who give more than they take.
You're very welcome! I enjoy sharing what I have learned so far. Having someone to bounce ideas_ off of can really help motivate too. If you get confused, then frustration looms.
Agree on the bounce ideas thing. My natural tendency is to isolate. I think I'm bothering others if I ask questions. But, more often than not, people enjoy helping others. It's still hard for me sometimes though to put myself out there.
Oh please.. never hesitate. I am more than thrilled to be able to share my knowledge with you all.
I am the queen of being a hermit but steemit has definitely given me more of a social game. I can flutter in and out, be social and make friends. You'll be amazed once you get right in there and get you hands dirty.

Hi @coachjj, its nice to meet you and I'm glad you found this through @asapers resteeming the article! We plan on coordinating many activities with @asapers and they are a great fit with our people at #newbieresteemday!
I think this is the first time I've met you, so I'm giving you a "newbie nickel" (the $0.05 upvote) as a way of saying it is a good comment and thanks for being here and participating! :)
Its nice to meet you!
Thank you so much @davemccoy! That's super sweet of you! I'm happy to meet you guys and looking forward to learning more about what you are doing for the newbies and hopefully getting to know you more through the discord group!
Same here @coachjj :) ... i look forward to connecting deeper with you too!
I think its cool that whenever I come across someone with a "coach" in their name that they are a "good" person! One of the biggest role models in my life was my college baseball coach. :)
Have a great day!
Oh, I LOVE that! I had no idea when I took the role of coach, the kind of opportunity I'd have to speak life into people. I realize now it's what I am called to do, and it feels amazing!
I agree... To me one the greatest experiences I've known was when I was one of the coaches once! I coached my fraternity football team, and to this day those guys still call me coach!
