If you have only a small amount of steem you need a different strategy when upvote. You should upvote only some really good articles, and you should vote when it has only 1-4 votes. Also you should only vote for posts you think will get a ton of votes.

But the best way to earn STEEM if you make good original content.
I hope it helps.
Thanks for the hint. But - stupid question - where is the upvote button? Take care, juergen
