How could we upvote to help steemit growth?
Hello steemians,
My thoughts on how we could vote to maximize steemit growth.
As steemit users we are all shareholders of the social network and we are all financially motivated to help increase steemit adoption rate.
How could we vote to help mass adoption happening?
More you hold steem power more you have responsabilities to use your vote power in a productive way.
To keep it simple i would split my 10 (at 100% vote power) daily upvotes into 3 categories:
1/ 33% of my voting power (3.33 votes at 100%) would go to new users account that procude quality post.
I prioritize posts with 100% power up because it show me it is the kind of user ready to invest time and believe in steemit long term.
To help adoption we need to reward new users, if they have a good first experience, get some decent rewards, they will probably stay on steemit, believe in the platform, keep posting talk about it to friends and finally we have loyal users and free marketing.
Basically, voting for news quality users boost adoption rate.
More you have steem power more you should decrease your vote power in orders to vote for a maximum number of new users per days still giving them a good average rewards per post.
2/ 33% of my voting power would go to post i really like because it feel good to rewards really good contents, friends and people we follow for a long time.
They are often loyal and old steemit users and usually get rewarded the most by post.
As results, best posters keep having great rewards wich motivate potential new users to create a steemit account and use the platform in order to reach the same kind of rewards.
3/ 33% of my voting power go to me. I upvote my post or my comments.
The goal is to show new users that you can personnally benefit if you buy steem, power up and hold.
More you buy steem more you believe in the platform, you take more risk than average users so you should get rewarded for your efforts.
It motivate me to keep investing more, hold steem power and keep powering up rewards.
As results, if a large numbers of steemians use this strategy it induce more buy pressure on steem price and less power down (sell pressure) then steem price should goes up long term wich benefit to all users.
Let me know what you think about this strategy as fans, users and shareholders of steemit platform.
Hi @Damarth
I think you are right, and I say i think, because although you cover 90% of the market with this, I have the feeling you are missing two essential target groups.
For a start there are the people who give relevant comments. Sure there are a lot of people who just say; "nice post" or "good stuff" and from a lot of them they are only here to just get an upvote or a follow from the content creator. But there are also Steemians who do read the content and give good feedback, or at least try to. I think these people do deserve an upvote, at least, that is the way I reward the people that really put effort in reading my stuff. In order to get my upvote of 8 till 20% you will have to upvote the post and put in a good comment.
Another thing not covered is i believe the people who have been writing their ass off for several months but do not get noticed the way they should. These Steemians also deserve some help as otherwise they may loose the faith in Steemit. On the other hand these are harder to find, as they have no special tag.
I totally agree with you, in order to get Steemit to a higher level you will have to use your voting power in a tactical way.
Steem on!
Thank you for you comments.
I do upvote for good comments, you are right i didn't talk about it specifically. In fact comments upvote would go in part 2/ Post i really like or add great valu.
I agree with you as more and more users sign in on steemit platform, upvote distribution isn't really fair because some great contents are lost into the flow of continuous new daily post.
I think in this case the missing part of my strategy is the resteem valu. Steemians with more followers should resteem good undervalued contents wich help their curation rewards upvote and good quality authors aswell.
We should Resteem more to help distribution to be fair enough :)
So what would you suggest to a new member who's inputing good content to do to get noticed either by people who can resteem or by people with enough steempower to make a difference?
Be patient and stay active.
Welcome news users, answer posts with valuable comments, vote, constantly discover people you like to share with...
Then you number of followers will slowly increase to the point where your contents is more and more shared and appreciated.

Hi Damarth - thought I would pop by to say thanks for the quick upvote on my recent 'Lord of the Steem' post.
What you say here certainly has merit - it is another means of spreading the love, which is of course necessary for long term Steemit success.
However, I continue to believe 'Community' is the future though - building communities of like minded individuals. Firstly to reward one another in the short term - and in the medium to long term it should encourage advertising revenue into Steemit as they can more easily target preferred community customers.
In the end Steemit needs to be able attract advertising revenue - otherwise as soon as the free steem dries up - it is over.
I have spent the last couple of months building up #teamaustralia and a few other associated teams - hopefully you can come by once in a while and blow us a kiss or too.
Thanks again.
SirKnight.
Yes steem will pass next level soo enought with developers who continue to improove steemit platform and our impressive new users adoption rate.
When steemit grow to 50M users + we can easily imagine more and more store adding steem or SBD as payment option, new revenue with advertising, steem debit card... I am really exited about steem future :)
I sure hope you are right damarth - 50 million users means I will be able to work here full time I reckon. Mate, seeing you took an interest in Lord of the Rings - I thought I had better fill you in on the lastest happenings. Enjoy. SirKnight.

@damarth can I get an upvote, anywhere?
Great post,
It's still very early days for steemit!
There's no doubt once more people hear about it, Steemit will grow like crazy :D
a very good friend
You can help and go say what you think of my photography :) this help a lot . I like B&W art
That s a good strategy!
I agree much more effort need to be put into outreach. I'll be working on this in the coming days.
Hello @damarth .. I agree with your ideas and strategy. I have try to do this this week and done it last week. But the problem now is there is no vote in my post. So I think I have some quality post. What do you think about this?
Me too i get less vote per post even if i have more and more followers. I am not really sure why but I think with HF 19 we can vote less often (10 votes per day at 100% vote power), maybe steemians also vote too often for themselves and less for others with the x4 rewards on comments vote.
I think steemit team should cap the number of comments vote at 3 per day at 100% vote power.
