RE: The Cryptocurrency Markets are Receeding - 3 Reasons to Be Optimistic About Steem Anyway
One important thing is to remember to use your upvotes - vote heavier and more often, because most people don't do it enough. It costs you nothing, people love it, and you earn curation rewards.
You don't have to go overboard, but voting power that sits at 100% is wasted earning potential, if nothing else.
A good curation strategy can grow your SP at a 30% APR or better. But worry about a curation strategy later on, just look for things you like and smash that upvote button at least a dozen times a day.
Liberal applications of upvotes throughout your comment section can pay back more than SP (but that rate can be pretty good too).
Great advice, although I might argue that those with low SP (say, less than 5k) may be better off investing that time into content creation / engagement. Once you reach dolphin status tho, 100% agree.
You shouldn't spend too much time worrying about curation, I agree. But you should still do it. The lower your SP, the lower your rewards; but more is more, no matter how much you start with. And of course, upvoting thoughtful replies is just part of interacting with other Steemians.
Beyond that, it's not hard to find and follow a worthy curation trail. The trail I follow spreads votes across Sndbox, Utopian, and Curie content, among others. The votes and the rewards happen automagically.
