Hey there. It's based on Steem Power. More Steem Power = more influence / value in votes. It's not about the amount of followers, but the account which voted for you. If they have high stakes on the platform, you'll get more from their votes.

So its based on the votes on you get from people with the most steem power? Sorry for all the questions. I am just tired of writting hour long posts to get less money than someone who posts a meme

Lol value is subjective and there's luck/discovery matters too. Yes, it depends on what you want to achieve. You're gonna have a real bad time if you start comparing, seriously.. but it's something that we all learn over time around here.. I'd say, build your body of work here. Nobody's getting anything from other social platforms..

Oh ok. I just seem some people that have some consistancy to there blog post earnings. I guess Ill try different things. Thanks for the help.

Experimenting is always good :)

Hey kevinwong, but how can a newbie grow his steem power, if there is no big whale voting for him? Your account will always be low, doesn't it?
