RE: STEEMIT - A GUIDE FOR NEWCOMERS
Im a newbie here on Steemit. Im still trying to figure out how to progress and understand how it works.
I joined some contests (won twice so far) and posts blog.
im not sure on how the UPVOTE works. can i click the UPVOTE mostly on what i see is a good content, does it have a limit to upvote? will i be losing something when i just click upvotes more often?
Also, can i UPVOTE on my own Blogs and comments? will it have any points lose or something on my end????
Hello @iamhaslemere
Upvoting good quality content is mainly what we encourage on Steemit just like they do in @project.hope community. How will you feel if no one upvote your quality content on Steemit? I'm definitely sure you are going to feel very bad about it, the same applies here. Always ensure you upvote "good quality content" that deserves to be upvoted as this tends to make the content creator publish more content on the steem blockchain.
About the upvote limit, there's actually something known as Resource Credit (RC) which tends to regulate your amount of upvote on every post you make and this Resource Credit also charges up with time. The simple summary is that "the more your Resource Credit (RC), the more chances of you upvoting people's content and the lesser your Resource Credit (RC), the lesser chances of you upvoting content on the steem blockchain". It's always advisable to make use of your Resource Credit wisely and start Upvoting good quality contents on the steem blockchain.
You can check your profile info including your Resource Credit level via www.steemd.com/@yoursteemusername.
You aren't loosing anything by Upvoting others but there's high chance of you reducing your resource credit in which you may have to wait for some time for it to charge up again. Also, in addition you tend to gain more curation rewards via steem power (SP) when you upvote other people's posts.
Smiles, this is known as self upvote. Well, I really don't have much to say about this but the fact is that if everyone were to engage in self upvote without Upvoting others, do you think you'll be able to utilize Steemit more? I'm quite sure your answer will definitely be NO.
I really don't encourage self upvote but I encourage Upvoting other quality contents on Steemit. Also, you can also join some curation trail and start earning cool upvotes for your activities on Steemit depending on the curation terms and conditions.
In conclusion, I suggest you grow your account more by interacting or engaging with others on Steemit by dropping valuable comments on people's posts, always create good quality contents, take part in contests just like @steemitblog suggested up there and you also stand a chance of earning cool upvotes. There's still a contest going on by @steemitblog where you can gain good upvote from @steemcurator01 and @steemcurator02. I suggest you visit @steemitblog for more info.
Thanks for your time and I hope you have a great day ahead with love from @hardaeborla 💕❤️💕💓
Big thanks! @hardaeborla very detailed answer to my questions. I really appreciate it big time!
upvote one for you! hahhaha
Hi @iamhaslemere welcome to Steemit Community. Have you joined the Newcomers Community ? We have this program where you will get to learn steem ecosystem and get reward along the way Lists of Achievement Tasks,Resources & Materials : Newcomers Resources. If you have completed at least Achievement 4 you can apply for our 500SP Support Program 500SP Minnow Support Program: Curation List - Updated 26/10/2020.
You can join @steemingcurators community too Steemingcurators we help each other grow in Steemit there.
you can check your upvote mana here https://steemworld.org/@iamhaslemere
you still have about 58% Resouce Credit left. If it goes to 0 you will not be able to do anything with your account and have to wait for some time for this RC to recharge back to 100%.
You are free to upvote your own post but this is not generally encouraged in an excessive manner, also with 14SP there is not much upvote value you will get if you self vote your own blog and comments. Your resource credit will drain fast if you frequently upvote and will take some time to recharge back.
My suggestion is to engage more with others, join #thediarygame 1000 DAYS OF STEEM : The Diary Game - Season 2 ends, Season 3..., the easiest way to get started and to get support from steemit curation account while it still last..
Oh great! This is very useful for me and to all newbies.
Thanks @kryptokannon for the advice. Appreciate it so much!
