VOTING POWER 101 - HOW to VOTE - WHEN to STOP - SIMPLE and EASY EXPLANATION
We will use a Boxer to explain this. That means, you are this guy:
Vote Influence
MORE STEEMPOWER = BIGGER INFLUENCE, MORE CURATION REWARDS
Voting Power
Boxers who fight for too long will drain themselves too much will take longer to recover. If they do not fully recover before their next fight it will make them weaker. They will not be hitting at 100% of their true potential.
Don't drain your Steem Power to levels below 80%. Your votes will have less effect the lower your Voting Power goes. Instead, take a rest. Go write that post you have been thinking of and let your Voting Power regenerate to ensure your votes and rewards have maximum effect.
The golden rule is 11 Upvotes a day for maximum effectiveness. Remember the more your vote influences a post the more you will be rewarded in curation rewards.
Every boxer trains for hours a day, they hone their skills and know when they are in peak condition for a fight. They prepare themselves and ready their minds in order to be as effective as possible. . Knowing exactly how many punches they can throw at what level of power to ensure they come out successful. Knowing when to take a breather before the next powerful blow can make all the difference.
Keep track of your Voting Power and how much your upvotes are worth. Remember, the less you vote is worth, the less curation rewards you will get.

Great information and easy to understand, now let me see where I can put you on my slider :)

Thanks, I like trying to make things easy to understand. I know I am not the best writer but using an analogy normally works when it comes to explaining. Thanks for the upvote, one of the bigger ones I got for this post! Hehe, thanks!
I try my best to be generous when I can. Glad to be of help, maybe I'll reward you in other ways as well. :-)
Appreciate it! I saw you resteemed! Thanks mate! Every bit helps. This post has baffled me with the amount of Votes vs Payout. At least it's helping people and gaining me some followers so I'm happy about that.

Resteemed...not even just for the vote...this is a good guide for people new to voting and good reminder to people how things have changed after HF19
You still get your upvote, not because of the promise. Simply because you are awesome!
I see 222 upvotes and just 12,99 pending payout for this post... I wish I could add another zero to that!
Yes, I am a little bummed by that. Because this info is only useful to the newer users, they already used up most of their Voting power and their accounts are small. So every upvote is pretty small. It's ok though. As long as the message spreads and people are getting helped.
Also, you can vote with less than 100% even if you don't have 482SP

Thanks!
I knew that ChainBB could be used for that, but I'm not a big fan (yet)...
btw. I got so frustrated that i couldnt use the slider that i bought some more steem :D
Me too. yesterday I bought delegated SP and... I was frustrated what I can vote only 100% for every vote... and then i start my research...
I'm not a big fun of chainbb too. but at least I can reward all my commentators
Thank you for this! I thought I had a handle on it until the Fork! This is a great guide for newbs like me. Re-steemed!
Awesome! Glad this helped!
