Tips to get GOOD Upvotes?
These days I earn so little from Steemit.
My upvotes are received mostly from newbies (Thank you, you know who you are!). Not to simply give a pat on my back, I am pretty sure my writing is not that bad too.
But, I am NOT alone. I have seen some talented newbies having tough time getting upvotes too. And knowing newbies, their steem power is relatively super small to upvote others.
So how can we help one another grow and possibly earn better?
I have heard about the Powering Up part, perhaps there is some truth there. Will read up more on this.
And just to understand what kind of postings gets good upvotes, I then glanced and read through other steem posts from steemit. Some posting, as simple as just a normal question gets high upvotes. Some write lengthy postings gets good upvotes too.
I understand that everyone has a certain preference for articles that they read but do you know that you also get certain people that will continue upvoting for you even if your postings are meh?
It’s true! Not sure whether it is intentional or bots works but yes you will see name names pops up in the votes. And you get more votes from those whose Steem Power is really power (so the power up steem have some truth).
But some Steemians with powerful Steem Power only upvote certain Steemians they like, how? Lols.
Anyways, for some of us ladies, knowing that most of us are pretty new to the platform, we recently set up a Whatsapp group and use the group chat to exchange links (for upvote support of course!) and to post up questions about steemit that we are not sure about.
It’s a great move nonetheless, although the upvotes are still small we will continue to support one another.
Oh by the way, I just learnt something new today, upvote new posting 30 minutes after they are posted. It was said that all curation rewards earned by voting in the first 30 minutes after a post is made will be shared with the author.
So, if you vote immediately after a posting is made, then 99.94% of the curation reward will go to the author. If you vote after the 15 minutes mark, then 50% will go to the author. Any votes made 30 minutes or later, then 100% reward will go to the curator. This only applies to the curation rewards while the author still gets at least 50% from the total rewards.
I also learnt something about putting the right hashtags. So I am putting them below just to test if they really work. I will let you know in the next post if this experiment works.
Apart from Powering Up steem, what else did you do to get a good upvote?

So who is Angiechin28?
Angie is a Mom with a mission (with a 10 year old daughter, 6 overweight cats and an overgrown baby man, ie: Hubs) is the Founder of SHEbloc.com (coming soon!), the first online platform in Malaysia that connects & empower Women & Moms to affordable online learning, shareable contents, job opportunities, resources and go-to market opportunities to earn side income/sustain via tried & tested channels.
She discovered Steemit by accident after reading a friend’s posting on Facebook and decided to check it out because she’s too curious (not kaypoh ahhhh..) to find out exactly how it works. Since then, she never looks back.
Since she loves to post up her ramblings and contents (current fave is Facebook & Instagram), she might as well earn by doing so by posting up on Steemit’s platform and best of all, it’s the only online platform that she knows allows ANYONE to earn cryptocurrency by creating and posting up contents, by voting or commenting other people’s contents and so much more!
Bottom line, whatever you do on the platform, you will earn. How cool is that?
So, what are you waiting for? Sign up for Steemit already, it is FREE and you’ve got nothing to lose but an awesome opportunity.
Current tagline: You live only once, take the leap and discover where it brings you!

I did power up recently. to power my SP so when I upvote people no longer chicken egg. But also got to watch out my voting power %. So many things to learn here like going to School of Steemit eh? Thanks for sharing this :)
Come lets learn from each other. I love the term School Of Steemit @iamjadeline!
yaya i totally agreed with you, so much things to learn, even giving a vote also like encyclopedia-thick book to read....
Hahahaha!
Steemit make us more study more harder then we working
Yah, understand. Support needed and 1 upvote from senior is what we looking for. All we can do is to continue to post good content and hope it got the attention. It's an encouragement when you see senior upvoted your post. Meaning they see value in it.
But senior supports senior mostly these days..lols!
I wonder where you get your facts from to make such blant claims ? Everyone here on steemit will upvote each other provided you have good content and also you have engage with them. For starters these people you call "seniors" i would guess you are referring to the "whales" won't know that you even exist .. and you expect a vote from them ? so please get your facts straight before making such accusations.
I believe seniors would want to upvote every post if possible but they cant because of the increasing number of new members and posts daily. They will have to read through the posts and upvote only to the posts with good content to provide encouragement. I think their time is also limited, so they won't be able to read all the posts.
Let's enjoy this platform and improve our writting skill using this platform. So many good positive articles so little time to read them all.. LOLLL
ADD OIL!
Yes too many for them to scroll up and read.
Hi @angiechin28, good sharing for the newbies here (me newbie too :D)
Do you know about steemnow.com where you can check your voting power? Like right now my % is 85%, so even if I upvote your post right now, it will be 0.00 so I will have to wait 18 hours until 100%. I'm still learning about this too, just wanna share with you all.
Thanks for the info @joelai! I think I checked mine via Steemworld. Yes, upvote me later please :) Lets learn from one another!
Yes yes, we upvote each other ya!
Can, join our whatsapp group 0182007998, I add you up.
Ok, will whatsapp you tmr. Thanks ya!
Hey Angie, thanks for another good writeup. These days i only check out postings when my voting value is not 0. Otherwise it’s painful when you want to vote but cannot. Hehe part and parcel of being a newbie. So many good posts, so little steem power. Thanks for the 30minutes tips, really something new to learn every week.
Dont get discourage, I am sure someday we will get there. Continue learning together.
I won’t! One day at a time. Meanwhile we just enjoy the journey.
Thank you for the tip. It's really helpful to me since I also got low upvotes and also I'm a newbie here. Just started steemit 2 weeks ago. I just followed you @angiechin28 and hoping to get more tips And more information from you soon. 😊
Sure @christney! Will do more research and post up so others can learn too.
@ocd @originalworks
nicely written.
Ladies, I got this from @zublizainordin, "So many UpVote without care for timing. It is 31 minutes after the post published. Ends after 12 hours. Some ladies UpVote 10 minutes, 1 hour, yesterday, 6 months ago. Be smarter. 31 minutes", he has a good point on this.
Curator pun i tak sure.... complicated.......😰
One of the most important element here in Steemit is to engage with people. Start going to other people's post and leave them a constructive good quality comment... Make new friends. Not just stay within our own comfort zone with friends we already know. Expand our friendship to the outer world slowly according to our own pace. We, Malaysian, are very blessed to have our Team Malaysia. Do you know we already have more than 500 members in our home team? Supporting each other is important, but VOTE for VOTE is NOT a healthy way to grow in our Steemit Journey.
