RE: A Noob's Guide to Steemit
So when you vote on a post, think of it as an investment. You aren't going to get the money from your vote but you are investing it in that Steemian's post. You are saying you think it will do well and then if it does you'll reap curator rewards. So when you are browsing if you see a post that you think will do a lot better than it already has give it your attention. Vote, resteem and comment on it. Curator rewards aren't super meaningful to us noobs but they do add up eventually.
Just one more way to earn and build an account! Thoughtful commenting is probably the best way though as a noob.
Ahhh... okay, so I re-read the FAQ and it makes much more since this time. I wasn't understanding the separation of author (75%) rewards and curator (25%) rewards, and that the 25% is then further split between author and curator based on time of vote. I think I got it now. Thanks!
Yeah it's kind of confusing. I was going off old information originally when it was a 50/50 split and voting first was the most important thing. Now that's not the case.
