DO YOUR UPVOTES COUNT?? DO YOUR UPVOTES MATTER ??

WHEN WILL MY UPVOTE BE WORTH A $100

I'm not going to talk about anyone, I will just share my opinion if my upvotes matters or not.

Two weeks ago when I joined this platform, I had read about curation rewards and how we get paid by upvoting people's post, this made me curious and wanted to upvote every post I saw, not considering the fact that I could pass the number of times required to upvote in a day, even though it might reduce my voting power.

The funny thing is that, every time I place my upvotes the amount which people earn does not change, it felt bad because I wasn't laying impact on this money and my upvotes seemed useless to me. Discourage thoughts started approaching my mindset, but at the same time, I wanted to do better in order to make my upvotes count.

At this moment, my upvotes worth a few cents, not good enough to make people earn money, but motivating to me because it's worth was nothing just few days ago. Now this are things I want to do:

I want to work and bring more people to this platform, and lay impact on this platform.

I want to work harder so that my upvotes will mean something to the new people I invite to steemit everyday.

I want to work harder and, never have to work for someone in my life due to this great opportunity steemit has given to me.

I want to work so that in a year or less to come, a whale or dolphin would say thank you for your impact on this platform

I want to work so that I won't have to go through too much stress inviting people to STEEMIT.

I want to work hard so that I can be able to make my way to steemfest2 and make myself proud.

To all the newbies and minnows out there, make sure you put in work in other to be successful here on steemit.

Please do not forget to upvote, comment, follow and resteem.

I think one thing we all have to remember is that not matter how big or small our voting power is, it does make a difference. If your upvote is only worth $0.05 cents, that's still something. When 20 people upvote a persons post at that rate it's a dollar. That may not be a huge amount, but let's not forget for most of us are doing things we previously did for free on Facebook and other sites. Also all of those small gains begin to add up huge. Look back at some of the post a year ago that made $1 are now worth much, much more. So you have the right attitude. Stick with it and don't forget to enjoy the ride!

yeah true talk, someday I will look back at this post, when my upvote will be worth more.

It will be in one month...i know we worked really hard the last few weeks

and i can tell u and me and @tj4real are all just kind of taking a break in a way we are all just seeing how much we cannoww make off our relaxing slow posts

BUT Tj really did an amazing post recently where he took photos of him helping the farers, we need more of that! we need to start sening solar chargers and smartphones with liek a month of prepaid internet to people and get them ona cycle of making enough mooney too cover their internet costs ...or just get them ffree iinternet using a few pprograms...

i know that we can get people to pay for steemit users internet in africa if we canget them the smartphones!!!!

As Craig Grant once told me: "Power up everyday for at least one year".

hhaha only works if your making good money everyday :D so it should really just be do FULL power ups everyday! every post do full power up ,

Nope. It's more profitable if you're making 50-50 and then power up the STEEM you're making.

this...coming from someone with 35 steempower...i have 1200 steempower
thats not true unless ur selling sbd for steem on poloniex then buying steem? hah wont be cheap thats actually more expensive

plus ppl upvpte fullpower posts more

and u mke ore fullpower because youearn on hat ssteempower, coverting sbd to steem to powerup coss u money to convrt that sbd to teem, ur wrong sorry, i think i woul know i hae alot more steempower than u! maybe u should listen to me and understand its more than ur eqation, ur not factoring in how whales see that a pot is full sp and their more likely to upvote it

got it?
now heres a upvote just for u 100 percent slder but onm like 4 percent right now sso u still et 3 cents!
even th im pretty sure youre wrong
but u might be right!
i dobt it tho, where did u hear this ayway is this common knowlege im not aware of ??
did they tell u this on soome popular post??? or no? cuz i do remember hearing that sbd so high that its better to sell them on excange but that wasnt taling about steempower

I heard it from a guy with 2700 STEEM Power. Plus I made a post powered up 100% and the final payout went from $20+ to $14 and I received only about 5-6 STEEM Power.

I really appreciate creative posts and look forward to seeing more of your content in the future! I just followed you, and I hope you'll do the same so we can connect and continue to evolve and learn from each other!

nice job extremely informative thank for sharing you have my upvote ...@mannyfig1956

try to upvote my comment :D we cans see you power

well now we know @xpency has a 8 cent upvote! haha but we dunno hat his voting power his here

https://busy.org/@xpency ok hes at 42 percent so he should have around 20 cents at full power

so that means he can probably give out 1 cent votes at like 30 percent voting power alll day maybe?

Anyway its REALy rewarding to have $1 votes like me..but i NEVER let them recharge! im ALWAYS handing out 1 to 3 cent upvotes at 10 to 20 percent vote power and im always at a low vote power

haha i just checked aIm at SEVEN percent!!!! 7!!

I am PROUD of my low voting power! because i barely evr giveout 100 percent votes i conserrve tem and so i can always give out hundreds of 1 to 3 cent upvotes all day long everyday

Good job bro, keep it going :)

thanks.

Again great article @xpency. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I will do the same.
Please consider reading this article https://steemit.com/steemit/@cryptogirl1/important-steemit-improvement-call-to-action I would like to hear your opinion!

you need more steempower to make your votes worth more

But the way I see it, I need some mentor ship from you. Your write up is interesting and wonderful. How do you do it

Great article 👊🏼
