When you are relatively new, it really doesnt matter. If you dont have a ton of SP in your account, your VP is weak even at 100%. So voting for most of what you like isnt the end of the world.
The key is building up your SP in whatever ways you can. If you dont buy STEEM, then it requires work to get known and get some currency coming in. It can be down....post, comment, upvote....that is the key to the system.
Thank you so much for this info. This is my third day on steemit and I am trying to help as many people as I can and myself included. It is such an honor to be a part of this steemit community.
Understood, I will start with posting once a day.
I totally disagree with voting like a fool when you first get here. Like you say above - if the minnows all gain by only a small percent - the rewards are big. I just wrote this post and I'm sending it to everyone who votes on my posts at less than 50% power. I will try to get them to vote less and raise up above 75% at least.
There is no reason for this wasted effort of voting at 20% power, and it uses the blockchain for no reason. No one cares about a .000 minnow vote. But even a .001 vote will grow over time.
Plus, people need to learn voting skills from the get go. I'm on a mission lol.
What is Your Steemit Voting Power and Why Does it Matter?
