I am noticing that people don't know about the voting power and keep upvoting people, thinking that they will upvote them in return, without saving their voting power ! You have to know that the voting power you have is limited. Imagine you have 10 upvotes per day, but when you upvote the first time you give $10, then after that if you give another upvote directly you will give just $9 and if you give 10 upvotes one after one, you will use up your upvotes and even if you upvote people, they will get 0. But if you upvote once every two hours, you will give each upvoted post $10.
The thing here is not in the number of upvotes you give, but in its value. If you give someone a good upvote, it's even better for your curation reward, so you will earn much more from that. Steemit gives you 100% voting power that you can use in about 50 hours. After each upvote you lose about 2% from your voting power, so you give less steem for that. That's why I think the best option is to upvote once in two hours to give more and get more. Also when other people see that you are using all your power, they will be happy and may reciprocate. I always check my voting power here : https://steemworld.org/@clixmoney . I can even see how much voting power I get from people.
So, why do you want to give other people nothing and get everything ? Learn about steemit, you have to understand how it works before asking or begging for upvotes. You have to give in order to get. If you are upvoting your comment to earn the visibility, upvote also the post ! I noticed people with good power upvote their comments and you see that the comment made more than the post. Don't be selfish. I saw also people not upvoting others at all, but asking and begging for upvotes. You have to know that you also earn from upvoting and it's called curation reward.
I think if your upvote is not more than 0.01 , it's better for you to upvote only with your 100%. It's much better for you and your followers. There are a few websites that can show your voting power, the one I gave above and these two :
This one https://steemd.com/@clixmoney , and if it's down, this one is much better : https://www.steemnow.com/@clixmoney , it can even show you how long you have to wait to have 100%.
That was my posting section. From now on, I will divide my posts into 3 sections : the posting section, the contests and givaways one and the promotion one in the end of each post.
Here is the contests and giveaways section :
In my last post : ☼ NEW MILESTONE ☼ I promised to give away 0.1 steem or steem dollar to the best comment that I choose. So I will choose the one who upvoted with 100%.I will send him the reward, you can check the proof in my wallet and in the picture bellow :
The reward was sent to @longming.
So keep commenting me and upvoting with 100% and I will always reward one of you.
I will always give away 0.1 steem or steem dollar for every single post that will bring me about $1 upvotes. I will giveaway 0.2 steem or steem dollar if every single post brings me aboout $2. So the more I earn, the more I'll give. Help me reach $10 from each post and I will give away 1 steem or steem dollar for each written post ! I may also reward people who will resteem this !
The questions I will ask in this post are :
Do you think it's important to upvote with 100% ?
How often do you upvote others ?
You can delegate steem power to me if you want to earn with the group up to 100%. Help us tripple upvotes for people, these are links to delegate : 100|500|1000|5000|10000| or you can choose any amount to delegate here : steembottracker.com.
Yeah a lot of people go by the percent vote that was given but that's almost irrelevant it's all about the value of the vote.
I'd rather have a 1% vote from someone with a bit of steem power and knows how to maintain a high percentage of voting power.
Instead of a worthless 100% vote from someone who doesn't have much steam power and let's their voting power regularly drop to 0% by spamming 100% percent up votes to everybody.
You are right, people are spamming like crazy and they think if they give a lot of upvotes they will get a lot of worthy ones. Funny lol ☺
This is an awesome post, I really appreciate you! I am understanding more now.
I am glad you are. ☺
You need a degree in steemit to understand how everything works
voting
curation
payouts
Why a degree ? everything is clear I think. Can you explain what is the difference, how you understand each one ?
yes, I think it's important to upvote with a good voting power.your articles are good. I upvote 4 or 5 times a day only when my voting power is greater than 90 . thanks for giving such a nice opportunity .
you are very welcome, I like your comment. ☺

Thanks for the pointers. I was wondering how I could track my activity with regards to votes and the like and didn't know about the steemworld.org link. Also, good explanation of how to maintain voting power, how to maximize its avlue and the etiquette around using voting power.
I am glad you like it.
When I first joined Steemit I had no idea how the upvoting system worked. Like you mentioned in your post, I was upvoting for the sake of people noticing me and following my page.
It wasn't until I did some googling and watched some videos on Steemit on how to properly use the platform. The platform makes total sense. We want to create valuable content on here that is of use or has done some kind of purpose for the reader.
I am an artist so I look at mostly art related posts. There are some fantastic outstanding pieces of art out there. I want to ensure my voting power get distributed to proper art and I am happy to reward the artists with my voting power.
Thank you for the reminder of why our voting power is important in the steemit community!
You are welcome, the good thing also here when you use the tags just by adding this to any word # , for example #art #artist , and you will find the related posts to your topic. ☺
Thanks for this post! Upvoting is making sense to me now after reading the post. It is not only about making money on steemit, it is also about becoming a good community member here. Thanks for sharing with clarity.
You are welcome, of course steemit is not just about making money, that's why we try to work maximally right and fair with people.
thanks a lot, I like it, very nice. ☺
Can I use you page divider?
I think yes :)
