Hello @byltc,

I don't do upvote-for-upvote or foloow-for-follow. That is not how steemit was intended. What you do is spamming and therefore by definition not okay!

Here are two posts with helpful information on how to interact and make money on steemit.

Maybe they can help you get on your way and make some money along the way. They sure helped me!

But never ask for upvotes! Just make good content, interact and contribute and the upvotes will come

Steem On and Have fun!
