THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME!

Its exactly how I feel, even with help I still can't get my head around this properly, how to vote more then 10 times.

If I follow 5 people and vote on their page twice for the day because that's how many post they put out.
Does that mean it's it? I can't encourage anyone else?
How can I spread my votes?

If you have any good ideas can you please explain, and in laymens terms. Thank you, because I want to learn some of your tactics.

The barrel is a good analogy of how I feel. Trapped and can't move my arms and hands to press upvote.

Most of us probably feel the same way... trapped in a barrel!

Right now, that is the joy of being a minnow. Once you reach 1 million vests (about 489 SP), you will get a slider that will enable you to make percentages of votes. So then people who post a couple of times a day could get say, 50% on each post.
At this stage, it would be strategic for you to buy some Steem and power up until you have reached that point. You can do that by either trading your SBD for steem on the internal currency market or by investing a little cash in steem on a market like Binance and transferring it into your account and powering up. You could also tell your nearest and dearest to post less often, or only expect a one vote from you per day. Right now, it makes sense for you to vote for people who are making higher payouts, as your curation rewards will also be bigger and then your account will grow faster.
If that's as clear as mud, let me know and I'll try and break it down

Super clear, thank you and makes perfect sense.
Thank you for taking the time to explain, the monkey is out of the barrel. But I dont know for how long.

Don't be shy to ask , Steemit is complicated

Check out http://steem.supply@username and https://steemd.com/@username to keep an eye on your voting power etc.
Best to keep it over 85% I think so yes, 10-12 votes per day.
