How Do I Choose Post to Upvote
Well, this is just a sharing from me. I am definitely not the expect here. I may be wrong, so do comment and correct me.
Before I upvote any post, I will first go to check the balance of my Voting Power at https://steemnow.com
As you can see, my Voting Power now is 75.55%, which will be full in the next 29 hours.
Under normal circumstances, I will vote until the Voting Power is 72-76%. This is because every 2 hour my Voting Power will recover by 2%. So after 24 hours, it will be 24% recover, nearing or reaching to 100% again. For Friday i will vote until my Voting Power become as low as 40% because I knew that I wont be touching Steemit for the next two days, hence I have lots of room for my Voting Power to recover.
For every 2%, you can upvote 1 post. Then I will calculate how many post I can upvote on that day.
After that, I will go and choose my post using Steem Bot Tracker at https://steembottracker.com
There are a lot of Bot for you to choose from in Steem Bot Tracker. Some writer will be using a Bid-Based Voting Bot for the bot to upvote their post based on the bid they put into the Bot like an investment.
Then I will look for Bot that require a minimum of 3 SBD. Once I have identify the Bot, I will click onto the Details. This is what you can see:
You can see that @jwolf is bidding with 40SBD for the post https://steemit.com/financial/@jwolf/wall-street-movies-you-have-to-watch
I will then click into his post and do some evaluation:
This post is 4 hours old. I will consider to upvote this post because it had past the 30 minutes, hence 100% of curation reward will goes to the curator.
Then I will check on the Post Value & number of upvoter before I decide to upvote:
This post have 84 votes & $340.90. In this case I will not upvote anymore because there are some whale already upvote this post. What I am looking for is a post that is low in value at the time of upvote before any whale. So the best is below $5 for what I think
For example if the value is $5 now. You know that after some time, when the Bot upvote this post the value will go up by another $40.
Let me give you another example where me and @tzeching upvote the same post. Our steem power are as such:
Our Steem Power is so low that it may have no significant effect on a upvote value. After voting, I check our potential Curation Reward using https://steemstats.com
With me having a higher Steem Power, but my weightage in the upvote is much lower than @tzeching and she has a potential of getting 0.001SP as Curation Reward and I will not get anything in return. You may ask how come this happen.
The reason can be found here in https://steembottracker.com/curation_calculator.html
@tzeching upvoted this post when the value of the post is only $0.23 . While @timlee upvoted this post when the value already $41.90 as shown below:
So this is a little idea for you when you upvote someone else's post. Have fun earning with Steemit.
@jody.potato @peixsley @tzeching this is exactly what I share about with you all today.

well written, I don't get into the technicals but I get your idea of it... I vote good contents and sadly, my VP has been low for the last few days due to votes given to post related to teammalaysia CNY events
For me it is simple. If I like the post, I vote. I liked how detailed your process is, so have a vote...
