Everybody got Steempower, Votingpower and Voting weight - Steempower * Votingpower * Votingweight * Voteposition = Voteworth
After 7 days there is payout of the post: 75 % goes to the author (author reward) 25 % are shared amongst the upvoters (according to their voting worth)
there is a punishment of 3,33 % for every minute before 30 minutes after posting (for the curators - not for the author !), that means if you upvte a post 10 minutes after it was published you will receive just 33 % of the curation you would usually receive, after 20 minutes 66 % after 30 minutes the whole 100 %
and further:
Hello @mshadn
Welcome to Steemit !
most important thing: do good posts and just up to 4 in 24 hours span not to come in zone where your reward is shortened ! (1-4th post 0 % punishment, 5-8th post 25 % punishment, 8-12th 50 % etc...)
second important thing: as newbie with low Steempower it is recommended to upvote yourself as much as possible (your own posts + comments + replies)
third thing: watch your voting power: https://steemd.com/@mshadn
one vote costs you 2 % and every 24 hours it will recover 20 %, so you can cast aprox 10 votes per day !
fourth thing: follow and metion @cleverbot and @banjo in your posts or comments, they will give you additional upvotes (aprox 1 or 2 cents per post) - but please behave and do not exhaust them in a missusing way !
fifth thing: if you have some SBD in your account already use boosters like @minnowbooster and @morwhale and @drotto to boost your posts a little and to get broader audience...
to understand all mechanisms in Steemit deeper, I would encourage you to read through
and
You just have to click those links, they will lead you to the pages, where Steemit.com and how it works and how to be successful is described.
a more coprehended form of the facts you may find here:

https://old.steemfollower.com/?r=4617 this one is very nice to get the best out of your voting power as beginner ! (this is one of the best pages for beginners !!!)
as some of the posts are nearly one year old, some services might have stopped !
a very good compilation of all available services you'll find here: http://steemtools.com/ and https://steembottracker.com/
so now it is up to you my friend - good luck and steem hard !
If you have more detailed questions, feel free to ask, but please try first to gather as much information on your own because it is my time and my nerves I am spending on replies like that - don't get me wrong I really like helping people but I do not like laziness and repeating the same topics again and again and again ;-)
with @banjo and @cleverbot you also can have little conversations -
they claim to be Artifical Intelligence but in truth they just mix up previous replies...
but this is funny from time to time to some extend and you will earn some cents -
but please don't exploit them - other people also want to benefit from them ;-)
as soon as you have some sbd in your account make sure to follow @drotto and to send 0.001 to 0.003 SBD with the your posts url to @drotto - it is a very nice way to double your money or even more
same thing with @speedvoter (up to 0.02 SBD)
and use https://www.minnowbooster.com/vote-selling/?ref=39639 - starting at 0.01 SBD
posts should not be older than some hours for @speedvoter, 48 hours for @minnowbooster and I guess up to 5 days for @drotto !
you will find even more bots here: https://steembottracker.com/
at some you will have a ROI + some % win ;-)
If you have questions, feel free to ask !
Have a nice day !
Say what you were going to say.
That's interesting.
