When to Upvote a post ?

Upvoting strategies to increase your rewards !


So i do get question a lot on some of the strategies which I use when it comes to upvoting a post. Does the time of upvoting makes a difference ? At what percentage ... etc ... etc ... many questions.

I'm no expert but here are just some of the basics to increase your curation rewards and it seems to work pretty well for not only me, but by a lot of other people.


Minnows guide in upvoting a post for better curation rewards.

  1. Any upvotes before 15 mins of the post coming out gives about 99% back to the author ! It was once a myth .. and let me tell you its real ! Don't expect any curation rewards before the 15 min mark of the authors post

  2. Upvotes between the 15mins - 30mins - great news , the author gets about 50% of the curation rewards and you get 50% of the rewards. Sometimes people vote during this time period if they know for certain that the author would be receiving large upvotes.

  3. If you can wait for it .. upvote only after 30 mins you then get 100% of the curation rewards which is allocated for you.

  4. Use tools to check how much of the curation reward you would be getting. In this case you can use http://steemstats.com . It provides a rough indication on what your rewards gonna look like from your upvote.

  5. Upvote content which you think may be popular ! Let me explain in detail :-

  • If a whale votes before a minnow - minnow does not benefits and gets the normal curation rewards
  • If a minnow votes before a whale - minnow becomes happy cuz he gets a nice big meal from curation rewards

Curation Allocation Vote 40.02
Total Curation Per Voter0.080.060.21100.08
Author Payout401.70
Author Total Payout501.78

However if MrWhale had voted first, all the Minnows will not earn additional curation rewards apart from the less then 1 cents which they get from their own votes.

For a whale, its not much ... however for a minnow it does sums up to a lot accumulated over time / days .


How can I keep track of authors and auto vote them ?

You can use a few tools to keep track of your favourite authors. These are the onces I use :-

Alternatively, you could setup your own server and implement your trailing bot. It does not take a lot of technical knowledge , if you know the difference between a server and a pc ..... i guess you can handle it.

Here is the link on implementing your voting script by @inertia https://steemit.com/radiator/@inertia/drdoogie-rb-vote-trail-script

I was wondering how this works for quite some time now. Thanks for clearing it up!
Maybe now I'll actually get some curation awards :D

Very useful post for new steemy's

Wow, thanks a lot for sharing @steemstats.com, @bitrocker2020!

I already knew about @steemd.com and @www.steemnow.com, but @steemstats.com shows much more curation info.

Cheers! : )

Thanks for the link to the script. I am going to Vote Trail Script. I am going to give it a try :)

So if I post something and someone give me a upvte after 30 minutes, that means I don't get anything?

This is based on the curation rewards (25%). Not your 75% author rewards.

Oh yeah I get it now. Thanks.

wah, this information is very useful to me, it turns out there are differences in curation in giving value Upvote to others.

thanks for sharing

Yes there is 😉

Upvote gao gao.. Pay attention to those big whales' posts as well :) especially how much potential their post can get.

Thank you @bitrocker2020. Very clear and informative. #upvoted

thnx for sharing @bitrocker2020

Thank for that bitrocker!

Insightful, so many things to learn about steemit but am slowly getting the hang of it

i dont get all this can you explain more?

the time you upvote a post plays an important part on how much curation rewards you receive.

If you want to recive some more information you can look through guide tags. About steemvoter you can also find information in guids. I wrote about it here but in foreign language.
Also I recomend you to use steemnow this site can help you too. And don't forget about white paper

Me too.... still not able to understand those terms....
Trying everything to experiment.... not sure will it turns out bad......@pizzapai
Anyway feel free to visit my blog and hope to get some tips or help. Thanks!!

Sekarang tidak sudah, it stops here! Sudah belajar dari 师傅 mah..😂

It's me 😂😂
Lesson learned..
Thanks for the info..

Really good work and follow you, glad to see your post.

My upvoting "strategy" is simple. I upvote things, I like.

"Upvote content which you think may be popular"
Yeah, let's create an artificial community based around getting as much coin as possible, instead of rewarding good content.

I'm with you: I will never upvote something I don't like just to earn some money.

Sadly a lot of users will, and I think the way curation rewards work need to change to avoid this destructive behaviour.

good for you !

q very useful post thank you for the tips

Thanks @bitrocker2020 very valuable information. Let the curating game begin

ohh this is very informative sir.. i’ll be wiser spending my upvotes from now on

Great post . this is good information for receiving more reward thanks for sharing such nice i information.

Now this is the kind of important information which will help many Steemians, particularly newbies who have a tendency to Upvote everything at anytime. Thanks for sharing @bitrocker2020

https://steemrank.netlify.com/#/ can use this app to find top authors in Steemit. Is there any app like this where we can find top authors?

the details in Point 5 is good!

Great post bro as always. Finally a post that explains curation reward in detail. I understand how curation rewards work. Have been mislead to think that curation rewards are the same no matter when you upvote. Will keep it in mind.

Hmm, I didn't know about the right timing to vote, until I read this post. You're truly a life saver, @bitrocker2020 :)

Thank you for this tip. I understand it already.

Thank you for your explanation that you share. It is very interesting for me to understand what you've obviously right and as a motivation for me. May you be more successful for the future and the hope of many people. Amin

Thanks for sharing @bitrocker2020! :D

i upvoted this post after 15hours. LOL! how do it get me? haha

Hi, your article is really useful for the beginner like me and I'm still learning from @MaverickFoo who is guiding me on how steemit works. Thanks for sharing.

Ahhh...helpful read indeed. Tengkiu!

Excellent. It's going to get better and better with every post you share bro. I guess need to be quick on my feet to upvote before the whales do it.
Thank you for sharing.

Ok, this is super techy! I think I'll never learn!

woah, 99% back to the author if voted within the 15 mins timeframe! Lets say, if many minnows already voted before the 15 mins, and i voted on the 16mins, do i still get curation rewards, or all the rewards will be given to the author?
