I notice the many Steemers are not up- voting there own comments and posts. It is a good practice and always to your benefit to do so since you will receive value to your account just as if another person/people had up voted you. I myself over looked this for quite a while.
Reminder: Always up vote you own comments and posts!

good tip for the beginners.
thanks. i'll do that from now on.
upvoting your own comments feels always a bit sad to be honest.
I only do it if I feel it's important to highlight eg. in scam/content theft posts
Don't feel that way. Your not gaming the system. It's just the way the system works. You will purposely put yourself at an unfair disadvantage when the system is meant for to be used this way, and most will. I definitely would not recommend frivolous comments just to up vote yourself,....(.one won't get very far with that scammy type of practice)..... But thoughtful comments should be up voted, at least by yourself. Remember this helps others see your comment
no shame here. all about earning steemssss. :)
that's not how it works
Are you sure about that. That is exactly what I thought before doing some research last night. That is why I want to let was many people know. I don't want anyone to be disadvantaged. It does feel self serving I agree, but it is not. It's just the way the system works. Think of it as certifying your post. The effect is miniscule and believe me, you are not gaming the system. I would never encourage that. I've been a big fan of Dan and Stan Larimer and and their work I since the early days of Bitshares. Only doing the little I can to help the platform as there are not a lot of clear instructions at this point in development.
I meant that's not how you should use it.
on a technical level you're right
There is a good thread on the topic here. There is a benefit to upvoting your comments (not your posts) that someone pointed out, which is that it helps put it higher in the order of other comments. If you feel that your comment has a lot of value to the post and should be seen, then it doesn't seem super selfish to try and get it higher.
Upvoting your own posts is a little different though. The only purpose of that is to make more SP/SBD for yourself.

Thanks for the advice...
Anything for more steem :-)
Plus, voting up your own comment could potentially push it up higher in the comment section. Sometimes it's even pushed to the top.
Nice post.
I just upvoted all of my recent comments. Thanks for the heads up. Brand new to steemit, so I'm trying to learn the ropes. Is it kind of like liking your own post on facebook? ;)
Thanks for the tip :)
Once you up vote your own post it begins to raise not only your account balance in most cases but it also raises the curiousity of the community and almost by default this get you more engage and possibly a higher payout.
Thanks for voting on my latest post @james212 . Can you refer that post, thanks and have a nice day.
Thanks for the tip!
