I am newbie and also your follower from today. I can say something from understanding steem in 8 days.
Yes, You can earn by upvoting.
Your "Curation Rewards" page under tab "Rewards" shows you how you much you earned from upvoting comments and posts.
How to figure out from there?
It shows how much SP and SBD you earned from a particular post.
As you know from which post that income generated from. You can check the rewards separately in both the sections:
1.Curation Rewards (your earning from upvote you made on other comments and posts)
2.Author Rewards (your earning from your comments)
Hope my theory could be utterly wrong.
But I feel you may get some bells ringing to figure out more accurate than me.
Correct me if I am wrong. I love to learn more about steem.
Hi, @chandu91, you can also see the detail of your rewards by looking on www.steemnow.com, a tool developed by the clever @penguinpablo.
Oh, so what you are saying is that author awards include things you write both articles and comments you write both on articles and comments you write on comments?
And curation awards are for up votes you make on articles and up votes you make on comments?
