It's hard not to upvote when I like something! I need a like button. I reaaaallly want to upvote this post but you just said not to upvote everything, haha.
Maybe I'll upvote it tomorrow...or hopefully, someone else will also upvote it... 'cause you shared some good stuff. Thanks SO much for checking out my first post and sharing advice and for offering help! I really have no idea what I'm doing.
Well, I guess technically it's my 3rd post, because I was trying to post on Steepshot and had no idea that it also posted here as well... and I accidentally posted the same thing on steepshot twice because I posted before I was ready.
Like I said...I don't know what I'm doing. Thanks again. You're awesome.
:) I find that my "like button" is commenting. But don't worry about your voting power yet. You're at 67% (check Steemd! I gave you that link).
You use 2% of your voting power with every 100% vote (meaning your normal votes; you can only vote at smaller percentages when you reach a higher level in Steemit) and it regenerates at 20% a day. This means that if you're at 100% and you vote 11 times in a day, you'll be at 98% 24 hours later. This means that ultimately, in the long run, you'll have to vote an average of 10 times a day to keep your power in a stably high level. I try to keep mine at around 80-85% since that means my votes give more money.
Your votes, for example, give out $0.005 right now. If you wait till you're at 95%, maybe they'll give out $0.009. It's still nothing, so you shouldn't care about giving them out at 90% or 60%, but try not to go much lower or it'll be really hard to do anything with them.
