Learning how everything works on the Steemit platform by using the community has been a lot of fun these past 60 days. In a way it is very similar to the the video game Minecraft which was an immense success because the community was in a way the tutorial.

Steemspectacles is a websites that shows you who your biggest supporters are. I try to do my best to keep track of this and give support back where I can. You can see where your own votes go out to on Votes info

I started to use steemvoter to automate my voting so the ones supporting me get automatic support back. You can keep track of new followers at Steem Followers. I try to have a regular look and visit each one of my new followers. The first number I look a is how many people they are following. if this is too high, I honestly don't bother unless they have really good content. I try to keep my voting power above 80% so my upvote is actually worth something and use Steemd to track this. Steem FTW can be used to track how long it takes to regain your voting power.

I'm using @minnowbooster as a good way to use SBD to power up some more.
is this reliable then ? when I have quickly skimmed across this it seemed rather scammy! if it works then amazing for us :)
@minnowbooster works great. I have only used it a handful of times but each time they give me an upvote within 2 minutes and has been worth more than the 1 sbd I had to send them. Do keep an eye on how much voting power they have left though so you get more than what you put in. Definitely recommend giving it a try!
These services tend to be reliable and I believe it's the best way to convert SBD into STEEM POWER.
I only use it on posts where I have the rewards set at power up 100%. Some things that might be useful to know to maximise the return. Make sure to have a look at the @minnowbooster voting power. (it was at 50%+ when I used their service on this post and it gave a 8$+ upvote for a 5 SBD price.Also make sure you use the service within the first 15 minutes so the curation rewards go to you. after 30 minutes will lose 25% of the vote towards curation rewards.
So 5 SBD is good for around 8$+ of Steem power after 7 days and you get some extra post attention as a bonus. If anyone knows where to get a better deal please let me know !
Thanks for your 60 day update too.
I think if people are not sure how to use Photoshop they can always use canva.com and use the logo design template on there to give them a decent size for your profile photo as I think it is 500 x 500.
Thanks for the link !
I'll have a look at it
No worries like and your welcome too!
@costanze awesome post! I was considering doing a post similar to this about what all I had learned/questions I still have but you pretty much covered everything I needed to know. I will definitely start using some of the tools you provided. Greatly appreciated!
Good info dude, random question are you looking into doing Grand Sumo betting at all?
I never heard of Grand Sumo Betting.
My main focus in betting is on the major Soccer leagues and some US Sports.
ah I gotcha, the event is called Grand Sumo, it's sumo the sport not like a website lol.
I love this! Very helpful! Thank you very much for this info! :D will save me a ton of time :D
Thank you for sharing what you've learnt. These tips are very useful :)
Very informative. Best wishes for future.
Thanks
