Iβve been thinking about the system of SteemIt. Iβve seen that with HF19, my vote pool gets really fast depleted, so this is no fun for being a minnow without giving at least 1 cent, and also being under 500SP one canβt choose how much SP he wants to use. After 20 votes you lose the ability to send the maximum amount. Through some other interface, I managed to get the percentage down so to vote more people during the day.
As I see it, HF19 brought us the possibility to vote more people for the same amount as in HF18 only tuning the voting power. This is a very good option.
I know already that a minnow shall post and comment not vote, but it is such a good feeling to press the upvote button and to see that number change. My account was very low on power, so I needed to change it:
So I did my 1st deposit on SteemItπ:
Why I did?
- To validate the concept. I am strong believer in it and also think that you have to put something in, before you take something out β
- To motivate myself to do better work, impovered by the line above β
- It is a good investement β
- Will raise my SP, so therefor more votes can be given a day β
Proposed to myself to deposit weekly so that on the long run the account will grow. Also one year, no cashouts.π€
Every minnow should put some small amount in the platform just to be committed to bring more value.π―
Wow. Thats the spirit. I like you Zeal. When i first joined without making anything on the website, i made my first deposit knowing that i will be earning big very soon. And indeed the site has been so good to me. Now at full power. I can upvote someone to 45cents or so
Thank you @tj4real. It is nice when someone more experienced drops by.
I see you are the self entitled Africa Ambassador. I'm thinking about a minnow mentorship program where an experienced Steemian takes care of a little minnow. Would you be interested to join the mentor side?

You're not saying bad. I will take in consideration future deposits on Steemit.
I saw your upvote power, it changes some 0s when you hit the button.
It does may friend, it does. Till end of the year I want to be a dolphin. Dolphins are smarter then minnows and have a better sex life π€£π€£π€£
Congrats for the courage. May you get a lot more back!
Great to see you're a believer too @alexvan!
Like John would say:
"You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one"
Unfortunately, the voting power is going down easily :)
You tell me :))
I upvoted now all to 100% but I see the rewards dropping. Next will normal 3.14% votes, then let's say 2,71% and last 1.61%(I think this is real geeky stuff)
Great advice for beginners!
Thank you @commstech, we all need to start somewhere.
Nice move, I like the "give-before-you-ask" approach, I think it always brings more benefits on the long term. Congrats and steem on! :)
@raluca, total agree with you. But it is also a risky investment if I start deposit every week, but no risk, no fun πͺπΌππΌπ―
I have currently the same problem. Being under 500 is no fun. Though i promised myself i will earn the the 500 mark before i make another investment. :P your win, take my full vote!
This was my plan also, but I said, I'm sick of it, it is not me. If I see a shortcut that is not hindering in the end, I take it. Also in real estate where most of my money is, I leverage. It is always better to be at the longer end of the lever.
:)

Yeap I think is a good investment :) I was thinking yesterday to raise my power :) So you are a good motivation.
I think it is risky, but why not. I got sick of seeing less then a cent upvotes. Not even the power for the click is not paid by that. Maybe if you think it is to risky, start with a small amount. And then you see. I plan to be a dolphin till end of the year so need to see how I split the deposits.
Nice example of how to grow fast on this platform! You can also trade cryptos daily on poloniex and turn your profits in SP. I plan to invest some $ in SP as well.
Do you do this? I would be interested.
I just started to trade on poloniex but due to the fact that I trade small amounts of cash (lack of funds atm) I'm not getting enough profit to be worth converting to SP. I intend to do this when I will be able to trade some bigger sums.
Informative
Very Insightful
Hope you had a great day!
___ Thanks for sharing mate :)
Hello @joinike, thank you, have a great day to
That's a great illustration. I am glad to run into this style of writing.
Thank you. I still have to find my way, but till now minnow and self development seems to be the winner
Great post man! Keep things consistent. You're looking strong. Keep it up :D
You can check out @ENAZWAHSDARB for the best Entrepreneurial content! If you appreciate what you see, you can leave a follow! :)
I see you've been flagged a couple of times. I wonder why?
Yeah man. It's so annoying. It was @Noisy who decided to flag all my content without any warning. My comments were looking a bit spammy at some stage, so he just came in and flagged and down voted all my stuff. He took away like $20 from my biggest post..
Plus, I did exactly what he asked me to do, fixed all my mistakes, and he hasn't been online ever since. It's so wrong.
It is a lesson, at least a 20$, which can bring you hundred fold back the money. He muted you perhaps. You don't want him to unmute and check again ;)
He does a good job teaching valuable lessons. Nuked some accounts, so you are lucky that yiu have rep of 39. @steemcleaners will check also this, for sure. If you do it again there is no come back.
I was ironic before, as I said I wonder why. I will focus after I finish this challenge into some minnow grow projects. At the moment I take some time each day and write some piece of advice for minnows, where I feel the drive, but where it is badly applied.
For you I have the following:
-on 1st approach never, ever use the follow me, never(I see your account, no need to shout it again)
-interact and bring value with the one you are trying to gain attention
-if what you say is interesting, people will follow you automatically
If you stick to this you will have maybe not thousands of followers, but hundreds of valuable ones.
Hope this helps you
I have 39 rep because I have made it all back. @Noisy dropped it by 8. So I should be at 47. Thanks for your tips.
Does something like this look spammy to you? Start with value comment, then something like 'Let me know what you think of my posts. I am very interested to hear you opinion!'
Maybe if you do it in the 2nd or 3rd comment on that profile would be good. The 1st time is to pushy.
Cool bud, thanks for your input. I will take what you say into account! :)
