⭐ Steem Posting Rewards: How They Work

The Steem blockchain rewards users for creating and curating content. When you publish a post on Steemit (or any Steem-based platform), your content can earn rewards through upvotes from other users. These rewards come from the blockchain’s reward pool.

🔹 1. How Rewards Are Generated

Every day, the Steem blockchain creates new tokens and adds them to a reward pool. When your post gets upvotes, a portion of that pool is distributed to you based on:
• The amount of Steem Power (SP) the voters have
• The curation timing
• The total rewards pool available

🔹 2. How Rewards Are Paid Out

After 7 days, the post “payouts” are calculated, and you receive rewards in:
• 50% Steem Power (SP) – gives you influence and voting power
• 50% SBD (Steem Dollars) or STEEM – depending on platform settings and market conditions

(Sometimes the split can be adjusted depending on global settings.)

🔹 3. Why Voting Power Matters

Users with more Steem Power have a stronger upvote.
So, an upvote from a high-SP account can significantly increase your payout.

🔹 4. Curation Rewards

Not only authors—but also voters—earn rewards.

People who upvote early (before a post becomes popular) earn more curation rewards. This encourages users to find and support good content quickly.

🔹 5. Tips to Increase Posting Rewards

✔ Post high-quality, original content
✔ Engage with the community
✔ Build relationships with high-SP users
✔ Use appropriate tags for visibility
✔ Be consistent
