Sfb contest: Feeling an upvote notification"

_{Edited with Canva}
Steemit platform is one of the social platforms that are different in its ways. Since it is built in web3 format, it works on an upvote and downvote system. Instead of getting likes like your regular social media platforms, you get a vote system which is financially important. Since the basics have been established, let’s get into the upvote aspect properly.

My favorite upvote notification is the upvote from Steem Curator 01. In the Steemit ecosystem, we have different rankings of curators. Steem curator 01 happened to be one of the top curators. He is literally the king of Steemit platform. If someone is fortunate to get 100% of his upvote, then you are made for life.

How do you feel when you suddenly see something that you were yearning for? That the same feeling I had when I saw this upvote. Literally, I was on top of the world and based in cloud 9. My happiness showed visibly that people who saw me that time can contact that feeling. I stayed on Steemit for more than a year before I received his first upvote. I couldn’t believe it at first but I was brought back to reality that it’s true.

In the issue of getting upvote notifications, I remember a phrase written in most of the weekly contests. The phrase reads “Vote are not 100% guaranteed”. With this, I keep crossed fingers about upvote notifications. Whenever I created a post, I just hope for upvote notifications.

For newcomers in the Steemit platform, sometimes getting upvote might be a bit difficult at first. But, it’s important to note this tips which might help.

• Ensure plagiarism free posts: In Steemit, plagiarism is a top offense that defaulters are duly punished. We all know that the opposite of punishment is reward, so plagiarism free attracts reward. Some newcomers might think that it’s hard to detect but I’ll shock you with a fact. Some community moderators or curators can detect it without using plagiarism checker. So, be careful.

• Avoid verbatim: using long words that is not easily transcribe is not good. Someone told me that you can make your post in a simple conversational language.
• Participate and engage in contests and challenges: To increase your chances of getting upvotes; participate in weekly contents or engagement challenges. Not just participating in it, try to engage in other user’s posts.

I invite @bossj23, @nsijoro and @usoro01 to this contest.
