RE: Hey, I'm ClaryFeyArt, a mainly digital artist, and I'm now on steemit for better or for worse.
Hi Clarisa, welcome to Steemit, I joined this year and love it ! It takes time to get used to it here, but one thing I have found is it is good to post consistently and make comments on posts that interest you. hope you have fun on here, good luck !
Thanks! I still don't understand the upvoting system, but I will learn eventually haha. Hopefully I can start posting regularly!
Ha ha ! Don't worry I'm not sure I fully understand upvotes, you get a curation reward on the posts you upvote and the % you get depends on when you upvote, starting at 10% then after 15mins it goes to 50% then at 27mins it's at 90%, so yes it's confusing. At the early stage try to limit your upvotes, as you probably don't have much steem power, if any, you want to build up your steem power so your vote is worth more. Hope this helps a little ? I might have these figures wrong as it changes all the time, but at the early stages I would say limit your upvotes and grow your steem power by posting regularly, good luck ! Have fun !
So, the more I post and contribute, the more value I have and the more value my upvotes have?
Yes, you are picking this up faster than I did, also when you upvote your % of what your upvote is worth goes down, then gets replenished over time, so it is worth trying to keep your % above say 70% by not upvoting for a while. Hope that makes sence ? Good luck !
