I just joined Steemit today. I am kind of confused on how the payout is related to the number of upvotes. That's why I am trying this experiment. As in the title, I will upvote 2 posts of yours for everyone who upvotes this post. Feel free to let me know if you have some suggestions!

P.S. Received a few upvotes after 40 minutes! Thanks for your votes! I'll make sure I upvote your 2 most popular and also in-the-money content so they keep attracting more people!

Thanks! Your "Lower Back Problems" posts are very nice!

More upvotes means more money in general, additionally the more STEEM POWER your upvoters have the more money you gain again, also the more STEEM POWER you yourself have the more money you get from upvotes.

So you want a lot of high SP voters + you need high SP yourself.

I followed you, you can follow me and we can upvote each other when appropriate.

Thanks! I upvoted 2 of your posts! I also noticed that some posts with many upvotes don't make any money. System problem?

Not really a system problem, but many people have low SP hence their vote contributes very little. In addition if the poster also has low SP hence the votes count even less.
i guess some people see this as a flaw in the system but in reality it is very difficult to make a better systems without opening it to bot exploitation.

This isn't the purpose of Steemit. May I suggest you upvote good content in order to improve the platform and contribute content in the form of posts or replies to get upvotes?

It's interesting to game a system by doing that, but it won't work as there will be people interested in the long term, who will flag (downvote) your post.

Thank you for understanding!

Thanks for your advice. Do you think buying more STEEM will earn me more influence on the platform?

Definitely!

Hey! I'm new. I could use it. Hit me up!

Just did! Let's help the platform grow!

First of all welcome to steemit. I found this link in one of the post i read comment section. https://steemit.com/steemhelp/@lehard/steemit-for-dummies-5-simple-steps-from-beginner-to-steemian-80-lvl-50-useful-links-2-edition
I learned a few tricks on there. Hope this helps

Interesting read. Thanks for the advice!

Doesn't works that way my friend. We can UPVOTES each other all day long. We gets nothing.
My UPVOTES only work at people that have Higher SP.
If I UPVOTES a whale , they will get $0.50 to $15 from me. But the other way around.
Does that make sense. 🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉

I see. In that case, how does one become a whale?

They put lotsa $$$ in it, buying the STEEM Powers.

One account I notice can do over $150 per upvote.
That account rarely do the upvoting.
Many can do like $0.20 to $1.00 but depending if they power up.
You need to gain their influence.
Read my previous blogs, I am not interested in the money at the moment, just building my Social Networking. Learning the new rope.
