This is something that i have been experimenting with for quite a while and being in SA makes it a little more challenging to gauge accurately i guess. So thank you for this... will take the timing and equate accordingly. 👍
I made a post earlier tonight that had such good intentions but am feeling like the message has been missed by a few... and being an emotionally driven individual, it hit me hard. I know i need to toughen up... (not everybody is going to agree with you or share your perspective)... i am certain you must be able to relate. Just took it a little to heart tonight for some reason...
Would appreciate your perspective... (no filters either)

Well you should get upvotes at all times ;)
Thanks Jerry! As usual you have great tips and insight
Absolutely!!!! :)
Honestly, It all comes down to how much you have in your account more so then if you actually produce quality content. Unfortunately, I've only came across a handful pf people who actually produce quality content and they don't get the appreciation they deserve so to speak. I've seen to many people earn a lot for crappy content just because they have a lot of steempower and other people with high accounts tend to upvote each others crappy content. So I don't think it matters when you post, just get your steem power up then it won't matter.
@blackamine you make great points about the importance of how much we each invest Steem and the relationship that has with how much we earn because I doubt if I had not invested $30,000 in Steem Power when I signed up that the upvotes would be even 20% of what they are. I like that we each can see what each other has invested and contribute based on that also. While it is possible to start here from zero and a few have earned a lot doing that, it is much easier to start by first investing as much as possible and then going forward. I try to do as much as I can in the upvotable posts and in the posts I make to connect those following me with authors that are doing great work. @curie and @ocd are also doing this because we all benefit when the best posts get upvoted.
Thanks for the info Jerry!!! Do you know here I can buy steem using a cc in the usa
Yes... I appreciate what Jerry's saying, and in theory he should be right. However, sadly I think your comment is fairly accurate too...
@blackamine you mentioned that you need to get your "steem power up" and then it won't matter. What do you mean by that? Sorry if that's a stupid question but I'm new to Steemit so I am still trying to figure out how all this works. If you could clarify I would appreciate it! :) Thanks!
I just meant that the more STEEM you power up, the higher your upvote will be worth, which helps your posts to get recognition. You'll probably see a lot of post on here that are worth a lot and then read through the content and you'll be asking yourself "how did this person make this much for this?" it's most likely cause they have a lot of Steem Power, and others who have a lot of Steem Power will upvote there posts too..... I mean its cool cause you can earn more crypto (or SBD) than you originally invested so that's cool. It helps if your a girl too, so you got that going for you. But you notice that some of the big accounts just "circle jerk each others shitty posts" BUT there's some people who help out newbies by resteeming their post so I guess there's a balance. Sorry for the long rant. I just followed you BTW. Good luck.
@blackamine Thanks for explaining it a little further ( I didn't mind the rant btw)! And thanks for the follow! I will definitely follow you back! :)
Yes, great explanation, (noob here). I've seen a lot of "empty" fluff posts burning up the trending categories, then when you click on it, you scratch your head... I feel like the content I post is at least as worthy, but I'm new and it takes time. I completely get what you're saying @blackmine. And, ranting is necessary sometimes!
@jaynie I have the same struggle sometimes on my posts feeling like they did not earn enough or did not have much of an impact. What helps me is that when I write I expect 80% of the reading and power of the post will come at least 7 days afterwards from Google search traffic and readers discovering me later that go back through older posts. Like Facebook, Steemit makes it easy to focus on what just happened a few hours ago but unlike Facebook if our posts appear to do nothing in the short term, they might just be getting started in the long term. Many of the most helpful posts I have read were 3 months to 10 months old and just now I am voting up the authors!
@blackamine I actually don't think Steem power does much, or I don't know how it helps because I have around $3K SP in my wallet, over 1000 followers, a rep score of 51 and I barely make a $1 a post most of the time! Your content consistently does better than mine! Haha. With that said, I don't post on Steemit to get rich, or else I would be consistently disappointed lol. I do it because it is a fun outlet and the people and responses are really positive :) I will probably try @jerrybanfield when to post tips just to see if it makes a difference.
I upvoted your comment because I appreciate your perspective. Sometimes it happens. Take it easily..
Hi l am also in S A l find it difficult to get good upvote l just followed you can you please follow me back
