Hello everyone today I'm going to tell you some rules you should know before you upvote. Upvoting is one of the best ways to earn rewards. But you need some strategies. Knowing when and where to upvote can make a huge difference. Here are some rules about upvoting for better results.

I recommended to upvote your own posts at least once a day, it will increase some visibility and likely to get more vote.

There is something known as a reverse auction. Here's the best and worst time to vote.
- Any upvotes before 15min you give 99% curation rewards back to the author and you get 1% of the reward.
- If you upvote between 15min - 30min after a post submitted, the author gets 50% and you receive 50% curation reward.
- If you have patience and you able to wait. Any upvotes after 30min you will receive 100% curation reward.

When a minnow votes before the whale, the minnow will have a good portion of the curation rewards. If a whale vote first, the minnow will get very little or no curation reward. source

Your upvotes will worth less the more you do in the 24 hours time frame. Every time you upvote something your voting power goes down by 2%. The recommended amount of upvotes is 10-15 a day.

A lot of people focus on upvoting content that is trending and has already made hundreds of dollars. The truth is you only earn a small portion of the rewards by doing this! So don’t vote on content that is already popular.

Timing is everything, be early to vote on a quality content. This is a Great site to check how much rewards you'll be getting from the upvote you made. http://steemstats.com

Oh really? Lord me I didn't know about the upvoting before and after a whale's vote. You know one think about Steemit community is that we learn everyday, just when you think you understand it all, you read a post and learn a few more things. Thank you very much.
That means the strategy is to find a good article that you believe will gets a whale's upvote. Upvote it before the whales but not to early so you don't lose your Curation reward to the author. This is interesting, now I know why am not making it from Curation.

Hi @vaansteam, have heard so much conflicting info over the last month, I want to make sure the people I vote for get as much as they deserve, so I am still doing my own research, but I really liked your post, some good info I think. Thank you
Well done @vaansteam, the precise and detailed explaination you shared is very valuable to newbies. We share the same opinion about the upvoting techniques or method to maximise the curators rewards. But when voting my own post, I will only do it after it has been upvoted by a few people. I believe that some people may get annoyed when they saw the author has upvoted his own post before everyone else. That's only my opinion.
Thank you very much for all these explanations, there are a lot of things to learn not to make mistakes and fortunately, people like you show us the way, this information is very useful, I record ^^
i just know, if i want to get a lot for a reward on my post, i just need extra sp, thats true ?
im stil learn about all of this, but i don't get understand yet, i get a lot reward from my introduce post at the first time here, and then i don't get it again, what i have to do ? can somebody learn me ?
This gamification of upvoting is one of the worst aspects of Steem.
Here's my (much simpler) rules. I upvote what I like to see more of and make sure I don't upvote too many things. I don't upvote as a method to make the most for myself, I do it to help the author of the post.
This post recommends not upvoting after whales have already or on posts that are already making money and are on trending. It then finishing by asking the reader for upvotes on this very post which has currently has BOTH of those features.
Obviously I'll be -- forever plankton
Jeez! Thank you for this....it's an eye opener. Sadly, I have never upvote any of my post before. I'm new to this platform and still have a lot to learn. Please, I just wanna ask why does my steemitpower keeps reducing even when i haven't upvoted any post? Please can you kindly response to this?
What a lesson and I am so glad to have learned it so soon in my Steemit journey. I was happily clicking away and had no idea that each click lessened the value of the next click. I went to steemstats and discovered that already I have dropped to 84% with my clicks.
So much to learn. I don't have time to visit Facebook this morning.
Highly informative post. Thank you @vaansteam!
But I do have one question (which I don't think has been addressed here).
What is your information SOURCE?
I'd very much like to know where you got those figures from. I am not questioning their accuracy, by the way. What you explain makes sense. It's just to quench my curiosity about how you figured all that out.
Thanks again for compiling this.

Thanks so much for this information. I'm really new here and feeling a little overwhelmed by all the in's and out's of Steemit - what to do, when to do it, how to do it, where to get info, and on and on. So this post is a huge help. Thanks.
