These are great tips. Especially the advice to get on discord. This was probably the best tool for getting to know people on Steemit, outside of Steemit.
Never let your SP drop below 80%
(I think you meant "VP" or Voting Power)
It's excellent advice, however this is the only tip I can't seem to follow. :-) I use steemvoter and support a lot of excellent steemians, plus I like upvoting posts and comments frequently. This means I can't seem to allow my VP to recover back to around 80 - 90, were it should be. What could be a $0.10 upvote ends up being only a few cents. Steemnow.com says I have to wait about 68 hours (!!!) without any upvoting to recharge to 100%. Maybe I should go on vacation for a while. :-)
