In this video, I'll be teaching you how to automate your vote so you can earn some curation rewards during your first moments here on earth Steemit. This is one video I believe deserves resteeming, so we can take the rewards pool back into our own hands and keep it out of the hands of abusers!
Some links to help you get started:
Check Your Voting Power (VP)
steemnow.com will show you your current voting power. You can check up on anyone here. Just type in a username in the third blue panel where it says username. Fiddle around on the page to see what else you can find out!
Automate your vote
steemauto is the free auto-voting service I will be discussing today. It was designed by @mahdiyari. You may vote for him as a witness here if you’d like to thank him for his efforts.

Rules Of Voting
1. Vote for People Who Produce Quality Content
There are three ways to vote for quality content:
Go to steemauto.com and get on the curation trail of someone you trust whose goal it is to regularly vote for quality content
Vote “organically” for quality content you find on the platform yourself
Go to steemauto.com and automate some of your votes for users you know consistently produce quality content (be sure to watch the video above to learn how to set your vote settings)
A combination of all of the above
2. Vote All The Time
Whenever you vote, you are tapping into the rewards pool and pouring it into the mug of someone you believe deserves it.
If you don’t use your voting power, someone else will. There is a certain amount of reward in the pool. If you choose not to tap into it, that is more for someone else to tap into. So in a nutshell, if you don’t vote, then you are allowing someone else to decide how your voting power is used.
I don’t care how you vote--organically, on a curation trail, or automated--just be sure you choose to allocate your voting power in a way that goes toward quality users. This way, the money gets into the right hands. People who create quality content and curate well are the kinds of people who contribute to the platform and make it grow. When we reward them, they replenish the pool, they reward quality users, they become advocates for the minnows, they make this a fertile ground for success, and the world goes round.
3. Earn Money On Your Votes
If you want to earn money on your curation, be sure to vote for posts early on, but not before 30 minutes. I try to vote between 29 minutes and 2 hours of a post if I’m aiming to earn. It just depends on the post and where I think my vote falls in line in comparison to everyone else's.
One way to earn money on curation is to hop on a curation trail that votes for quality content that earns money. If your vote gets in the right hands, then it will land back in your lap as more in the reward pool to go around.
You will get a percentage of that pie, as 25% of the total end vote goes toward curators. So if you hop on a curation trail that already has a lot of people, you will not get much, as you’re last in line. Get on the trail of someone who does not have as many, and who you already trust to make good voting decisions. Check your wallet and see it grow. It will be only cents to the dollar, but it is an effortless way to increase your wallet size and your Steem Power.
You may also vote just for voting's sake. This is fine too.

So much hard work you put into this post! And all your video titles seem very useful too. Thank you, my friend. I will follow your content in future. I find that steemworld by @steemchiller is indispensible to my life on here.
I'm seeing @steemworld a lot. I'll check it out!
Thanks for the post. Quick question for you. If I upvote a post with a .25 vote at 1 hour and the post pays 100 STU what would my payout be versus I upvote a post at 1 hour that pays out 1.00 STU? So, as I understand, I will get my share (the amount of my vote) of the total payout in curation rewards (roughly 25%). Does it really matter what I upvote?
I think you are probably better off asking @sorin.cristescu. He's better at figuring out the math. I feel like I would probably screw you up. Thanks for asking tho. I'm happy to direct you to people who know more than I do!
Absolutely Awesome...
I love this post. So educative. Tnx @littlescribe.
You are welcome!
I'm resteeming this to read it again and again to try to understand it somehow. I'm new to all this and so am looking everywhere to find ways to have my posts read, mainly because I believe in what I say and that it has worth, maybe not to everyone, but certainly to the ones who are asking the questions that I have asked to the things I have gone through...
Thanks for the resteem! I am happy to help you get started. I host a discord channel where I offer free advice and assessments to new users. The link is above.
Thanks, I will go there and have a look and see if it helps me improve...
Well, it's just me and a few followers giving advice and having discussions. I can give you a free assessment and take a look at what you're doing that works and doesn't work. Most people find it really helpful. So I'm happy to take a look if you'd like. You can message me there and I'll keep in touch.
Then why haven’t you upvoted all my stuff yet! Geez big minnow give me sum lol
LOL. You just got a .40 cent upvote from me on your tarot card reading of your son's birth. Hope it goes well!
Thanks for your great explanation. :)
Hey, thanks! Coming from you, that means a lot, as steemauto.com IS your website and all. I like it better than the others. It's very clean cut, easy to use, the settings are simple to adjust, and it has a nice, clean look. So good job.
Thank you for this video! I appreciate the informative nature of this post for beginner users and users who are unsure how the voting pool works.
I think the abusers are banking on that fact. That's why I wanna get noobs edumicated.
I clearly haven’t been using my voting power properly thanks for the informative post I’ll definitely start tapping into the voting pool more often now! Learning so much from you glad I found your blog and started following you! Your my steemit Jedi master
May the steem be with you.
