I want to share two important answers with you.
How do I earn curation rewards? When should I vote on a post?
1. You need 100 Hive Power to earn curation rewards.
"If your APR is lower than 8%, these could be the reasons:"

( Use HiveStats to find your curation APR https://hivestats.io/@ )
2. You should vote 5 minutes after a post is created.
"If voting at 0 min = 100% penalty, 100% of the curation stays in the pool
If voting at 1 min = 80% penalty, 80% of the curation stays in the pool
If voting at 2 min = 60% penalty, 60% of the curation stays in the pool
If voting at 3 min = 40% penalty, 40% of the curation stays in the pool
If voting at 4 min = 20% penalty, 20% of the curation stays in the pool
After 5 minutes, curator gets 100% of the curation earned.
The author always gets their 50% of the vote value."
Thanks to @achim03 and @tarazkp for these answers to my questions.
What are some other curation tips?
How can I maximize my voting and earn the most rewards?
Thanks a lot for mentioning my post!
The most important aspect about curation rewards, is to make sure is that your upvotes are always above 100 HP. It's better to give 10 x 100% upvote with 150 HP rather than 12 x 80% upvotes.
Thank you very much, I am trying to maximize my efforts on Hive.
Thanks for the intriguing post.
