what is your Voting power -a Beginners Guide in the Community

When I started I did not really understand what it is Voting power.
I would read posts and up vote for them one by one.

Does up voteing a post cost you money?
the answer is No. It is free to post, comment, and vote on content on Steemit.com. You might even get paid for it!
After you upvote on post, steemit platform returns you money and if you one of the first upvoted in a post and the post succeeded you can also get paid for it.
Now, what is important to know . Every member of the community starts from 100% Voting power. Each vote drops 2% from your Voting power This power comes back to you over time. On an average day you get about 20% which means that you have about 10 votes per day and what is important is to make them in differences, that is after your power rises you can vote again (recommended).

Where you check how much voting power you have? you can use tool such as https://steemd.com/@youraccount
