PS: don't waste your upvote on comments unless you have 3 cents to give, any post or comment that earns less than 2 cents at payout gets wasted (it gets returned to the pot - so really is no point in doing it - you might see it referred to as dust.). Save your votes and use them on posts! :)
Thank you so much for that piece of advice- I didn't know that!!! Will definitely save mine for posts as I think it's going to be a while before I hit the 2 cent mark for one of my votes. Any idea how big you have to be? E x
That depends on the value of Steen as well as how much Steen power you have! A few months ago my 100% was 4 cents more than it is now and I have double the SP now than I did then!
Wow blimey... okay, that makes sense. I'll just keep hoarding SP and hope it grows nice and quickly then - I'd love to be able to play more with curation and making a difference to people who post brilliant content- but there's not masses you can do as such a small fry :)
OK! Just had a look at your score. You need to STOP upvoting for a while!!! You can see what your levels are here: https://steemnow.com/@eveningart
You need to let your voting power build up to 80-90% (preferably get it up to 100%). Everytime you vote using 100% you lose 2% or so voting power. It takes 2 hours or there abouts to get that back. The rule of thumb is only vote on 100% 8 - 10 times a day (once you are up to 100%) The lower your voting power the lower your vote. People don't mind if you don't upvote them (you are really good with comments and people love comments). We have all been there with the not being able to vote because our voting levels are too low, so no one will get stroppy if you don't upvote.
EDIT: use the link above to check your voting levels (and you can also keep an eye on who upvotes your posts, and what they are worth, etc). It is useful.
Thanks very much for this. I had been using this site loads... so handy!!... but have got a bit carried away voting this weekend! I don't have the slider yet so all votes are currently 100%... looks like I'll need to controll myself 😂
Yeah! Been there! By the way once your vote it back up to 100% there is a way you can get a slider... Busy.org is a flashy version of steem (on the steemit chain): it lets you have a slider even when you don't qualify on steemit. Have a look at it: https://busy.org/@eveningart (if you want to use it you have to give it permission using your key, but you can look at your page without logging in)
You need about 500SP to get your slider on steemit, so a way to go. I found out about Busy when I had 450SP. I was gutted I didn't know before! But that was when votes were worth more anyway (my 100% vote was 14cents at the time!)
Yes boss!! (See this is exactly what i needed!!)
LOL!

if you do decide to use busy you can find the slider in settings, you have to enable it:
