Free Steem

in steem •  7 years ago 

This is not only an invitation for anyone to add steem to their accounts, but also a question as to why EVERYONE is not participating in this simple and easy way to help yourself and, everyone else at the same time.
As you can see: https://steemit.com/@brimax/recent-replies
everyone that comments on my posts gets a minimum of $0.03 because I ALWAYS upvote replies. It takes no effort, encourages other Steemians to comment and vote and rewards your wallet.

What I don't understand is why isn't EVERYONE doing this ALL the time? It just seems like a no brainier to me.
So comment, get Steem, and tell me why you don't upvote comments?

Authors get paid when people like you upvote their post.

I like upvoting!

Well you know I do!

Life is a team sport. Good post.

I concur, thanks Brother.

You are right. I preach the same thing but don't always do it. I need to practice what I preach. Followed and Upvoted!!!

Keep on steemin..........

I use Steemit to blog and hope to earn steem power for contributing and commenting.

Keep at it, thanks for commenting.

Looks like the pic was worth a nic....kel


Thanks man!

Your welcome

I upvote everyone I comment to.

I wish more understood that

upvoted and following you.

Thank you Brother. My point however is to upvote comments, not just the original post. As you can see by me up voting your comment I send a nickel your way.
Thanks again!

got yah.

I just did some new posts.

I will make note!! Mostly thus far I have just been learning the ropes 👼

Welcome to Steemit, enjoy!

ok - upvoting and replying to test the statements made in the post :-)

As you can see my up voting your comment gets you a nickel. Thanks for checking it out.

I also always try to upvote all comments on my posts. Currently my upvote is worth about $0.13 so come and get some Steem ;).

On my way, had to send you a nickel first!

A great idea! Read and followed

Thank you, up voted.

ok i will check it out.

Appreciate you taking a look

You forgot to tell them that they should probably upvote as well.

Baby steps. Thanks for commenting, I'll do a follow up post showing what this post paid out versus what everyone combined got from me up voting the comments.
Stay tuned.....

I like your style, up-voted and followed!!

Upvoted and followed as well, feel free to resteem!

I upvote and comment usually follow if I do either of those then resteem, and try to upvote if someone comments on my post but Im still low on the totem pole to give anything yet on upvote except maybe a .01

Gotch back on the upvote and the follow. Thanks for the resteem!

It drives me nuts people comment on my post telling me good job but they still don't bother to up vote. I don't get it I almost wonder if they think they need to pay to up vote.

You get my upvote!

Thanks! And please swing by my blog and if you deem my content worthy up vote it!

I surely will

thanks for the love pal, i will do my best to follow your lead here... blessings to all

Thank you Brother, Steem on.....!

I need to do a better job of this. Thanks for the reminder. Upvoted and following for more community building tips :)

Much appreciated. Up voted, was already following! Thanks.

hmmm, I do like what you are suggesting but in my very limited experience people don't always upvote comments
but you are free to encourage me :)
I am quite new to steemit

It's small, but 4cents per post can add up, thanks for commenting!

Yes, not sure why. I had the same thoughts these past few days

Share those votes!!!!

you're a great person

Well thank you kindly

i am very big at upvoting all my comments on my posts , pay those who reward you with there votes comments and time, it feeds the system. good post quote

I like that line: "pay those who reward you". Upvoted!

Well said @brimax

Thank you very much

I do my best to upvote everyone who comments on my posts as well. I would like to appreciate everyone's participation, as well as encourage the growth of our community.

Agreed

Well said my friend. Upvoted!

Thanks @brimax! Glad to see someone who shares my view as well :D

My pleasure. Glad to see a lot of us are on the same page!

All I can say is you are completely correct. I enjoy other's articles and opinions; that's what makes this such an interesting platform. I upvoted and replied, but, I could not resteem. I will spread the word though, this would've helped me tremendously in the beginning!
Thank You BTW :)

Thanks kindly. I believe you couldn't resteem this post because it is so old. There is also no benefit in up voting it either. Once a post is 7 days old it will not pay out anymore. But, I did upvote bother your comments and they will pay out.
Thanks for stopping by.

Okay, finally made it down through all the comments and WOW! Talk about a poster ad for what a wonderful, helping, and giving community Steem.it is...well here you go.

x No begging for votes or money
x REAL, thoughtful comments
x Numerous others already doing the same as you
x Plus, the number of Steemians willing to follow your lead
x I'll start doing the same, although please be patient, my votes aren't worth nearly as much!

Thanks to all who commented, what great inspirations :)

I appreciate your comments.

I do it too, as long as the comment actually says something and is not a copy/paste job. My votes are worth even more, so it's easy money

Your up vote counts extra cause you're a guitarist!

That's one thing I can testify!

I have just commented a @steevc post from 8(!) months ago I was reading and although he had no way to profit from it he was still kind enought to upvote my reply.

ps. you don't need to do it again, just wanted to support your statement =)

Always happy to encourage comments with a vote

ditto, I always vote up good constructive comments on my own posts and those I come across on others' posts as well, though sometimes I go "a bit" overboard, and have to reduce voting power if gets too low lol

I've also had many people upvote my comments back as well, and sometimes I've earned more on those than from some of my posts!

Hi can you help me understand the vote thing?how many votes can you use and does it lower your power after each vote?One more thing,can you vote for yourself or is that taboo? Thanks from a noob!

The voting process will change a bit with HF19, but to better understand how it is now, and how it is expected to be then, check out this post: Pre-Release: HF19 Linear Rewards!

Thanks as always Brother for the repost, upvoted of course and still trying to figure out what to do for openmic this week!

My video got taken down. May do another

Patiently we wait for a steevec redo......

It won't be Supertramp as that seems to get you into trouble.

It is a shame it was taken down, considering youtube and artists allow revenue sharing.

They could have taken the money, but they seem intent on taking any songs down. That's a 'strike' on my account now, so I need to be careful.

I am pretty sure YouTube has a list of artists you can cover to be safe.

I upvote ALL comments I receive, and I follow everyone who follows me. It's our community effort that is so supportive. Thank you for the post 😉

Followed and up voted of course!

Thanks :)

You're welcome

Upvoting comments is probably my favorite part of Steemit! It's fun to give people a "penny for their thoughts"

I agree, thanks for commenting!

Always trying to upvote any comment I think is an articulated response to the post. And of course all the comments on my posts since those people are supporting me and engaging with me.

Well articulated and upvoted of course!

Thank you, will definitely be following your posts from now on!

Much appreciated Brother

I try to comment on posts I find interesting, not so much for the votes but to engage and build relationships on steemit

Upvoted, followed and look forward to a continued relationship.

Thank you!

Steem on Brother! You're welcome.

like @cristof I upvote comments that are more than just "awesome". Anytime someone take a few minutes to give a meaninful reply should get a few "pennies for their thoughts" Like you said it "encourages other Steemians to comment" and that's the part of this community that I really like.

Well said. Upvoted!

That seems like a great idea. I've just added you to my steem voter account so I'll be up voting your posts.

Thank you, and as always your comment has been upvoted by me.

I upvote my replies also. It is a great thing you are doing.

Glad to hear it. Steem on!

I do the same! It's a nice courtesy!

I agree. Upvoted and you are right, it's a courtesy!

Indeed!! Spreading the steem love and all that :0)

Yes sir!

Thanks for helping spread the word

I totally agree. I have even upvoted bots like cheetah, because I appreciate their votes (is that dumb???)!

Not dumb, and glad to hear it.

I do. Keep up the great work. I think people are conserving their upvote power. 15-20 per day.
I'm new so I don't have much upvote power yet. But I'll get there soon enough!

Glad to hear you are thinking about it.

I am doing it. Just doesn't seem to work on a comment. When I upvoted your post though it gave a few pennies. When I upvote a comment nothing seems to happen, financially.

Keep at it, you'll see your voting power increase. Thanks for commenting, this should earn you a few cents back!

Thanks, I love this place! You rock!

You rock as well Brother!

yeah, it takes time but you'll get there. the bigger jumps you see on the post sometimes come from other votes in between, as well as a certain "algorithmic gravity" that comes to play the more votes it gets

Thanks, Alex.

Hello, To explain why I don't upvote comments would be 'not applicable', LOL, because I do. However I don't always and thats because I want to save my voting power for really good posts.

Glad to hear that you are up voting comments!

Thank you for the steem, its more than I accumulated from some labor-intensive posts. 😊

And here is some more.....the power of voting comments is incredible.

I feel like its kindof laughing at my own jokes. But I recently started commenting a lot more and upvoting those comments. We'll see how it works out.

The key is not to upvote yourself, but to upvote the comments about your post. Thanks for stopping by Brother.
As you can see, I've up voted your comment which will throw some Steem your way.
Thanks again!

Oh shit! Thats what I get for not reading close enough. I'm an idiot. Yeah I like to upvote the comments I get and make a point to comment back. I figure if they took the time to read my blog and write a comment the least I could do is return the favor. Thanks man. For spreading the steem.

My pleasure. If you get the urge, feel free to resteem my post so we can get everyone on board.
Thanks again my Brother!

Done and done.

And upvoted again! Thank you Brother.

I upvote comments that--in my totally subjective opinion--deserve it. If I can tell that the commenter actually read the piece, that is, and had a comment that added something.

Actually, the truth is that I upvote almost everything, because if you took the time to respond, if it's anything more than "good job", that's good enough for me.

Glad to hear that you upvote almost everything. Upvoted!

Well, I wondered if I was doing something wrong, so it's nice to have someone else say that's what he does.

Glad to hear I'm not alone!

I really do not get people chasing votes. Isn't steemit about good content? If not it will soon end up like facebook. Desperately upvote and like for the sake of a like because I like it. (like what?)

Thanks for the comment. I haven't thought about it as "chasing" votes, rather rewarding those who do vote.

Research curating here. Some people make a lot of money here and don't post any blogs.

I do it also! Upvote everything I read or at best try to...

Glad to hear it. My point was to upvote every comment someone makes about your post. Thanks for commenting, it got you some Steem!

Yeah provided the reply is useful in some way I upvote all replys, its just polite isnt it... I get more from comments as I dont blog a lot.

It sure is. Thank you!

Thanks for being a good citizen of steemit!

And thank you!
If you like this idea, feel free to repost...

I occasionally upvote comments, but you're right, I should do it more. Thanks for this reminder!

Your welcome and thanks for commenting, it just made you some steem!

I'm new to Steemit but from the moment I joined and started posting I realised it was a no-brainer to up vote all the comments on my posts (as long as they make sense and actually relate to the post)

Well said, I agree! Upvoted

Everytime I log in here in Steemit and what I see on my feeds that captures my interests I do the upvote, commenting, resteeming and following the author 😀😀💖💖💖

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Glad to hear it, and for your efforts your comment has been up voted. Thanks, and feel free to resteem the Free Steem post.
Thanks again.

Resteemed already! 😀

Thanks again, much appreciated

My pleasure! 😀 God bless.

Thanks to you, too :-)

Yes I also vote up everyone in my replies. It makes it clearer for me to know which one I read and which I did not. :)

That is an excellent point and what started me doing too!

Gonna check more of your posts in the future ;-)

Much appreciated and I look forward to it! Upvoted

I am here .. see your total went up when I upvoted you haha

Yours to by $0.03, thank you and you are welcome!

As a growing newbie, I've learned commenting can be a great way of earning and gaining exposure. I upvote comments for that reason alone.

Glad to hear you've picked up on this idea so fast. Steem on my Brother!

A great plan to built our community. Thanks.
I up vote positive and engaging comments too.

Glad to hear it. If you think this idea is positive and engaging, please feel free to resteem it.
Thanks again Brother, and of course your reply has been upvoted!

You're most welcome. Thanks for the upvote too, much gratitude and resteemed, bro

Thank you kindly!

You're entirely welcome :-)

I am not only commenting,
But also up voting,
And following !
=]]]]]]]]]

Up voted, followed you back. If you like this idea, feel free to resteem!
Thanks again.

I always upvote stories and comments!@ Upvoted every comment on the page! am new and learning!

Glad to hear, the long term rewards are great. And welcome!

Thank you!

Thanks for being here on Steemit. I'll upvote and follow you. Take care and feel free to do the same for me if you want to.

Thank you. Up voted and followed. Feel free to resteem!

I will :) Thanks and take care. Blessings from Belgium!

Thanks again....🙂

Great post! Lets upvote! :)

Thank you, your comment has been upvoted!

I also upvote all replies even if I dont reply to all. 🔝

Upvoted. I always do it, if not i simply forgot.

Another true steemian helping the community. Thanks!

When I tell my friends about Steemit this is the main feature that I explain most of them as a large number of them are not content creators. I have had a comment in the past that paid out higher than the post I commented on, haha! I too try to always upvote comments, even if I have to wait till the nextmorning when my voting power rises again, hehe.

I'm happy to hear that, we can all help each other with very little effort.

nice, i like that concept
..and guitar pix, following

Thank you Brother. Upvoted and followed you back!

thanks

Same here.
I pretty much upvote every comment on my posts or others that I interact with too.
Steem on!

Really glad to hear it @hammaraxx, jam on...uh I mean Steem on!

Up voted every comment on this page =]]]]]]]]]
Let's everybody do that !!!!!
Resteemed !
=]

Great idea Brother. People helping people. Steem on!

Thank you for the reminder. I haven't been here long and am still trying to figure out how it all works. So all of this kind of info is very helpful.

Your welcome, and thanks for voting. Your comment has been up voted!

I've seen other people share this info as well and while earnings can be great, I feel like there is more value in upvoting really great replies and comments so that they are rewarded and so that the best content can surface.

What I would like to see is the ability to upvote and assign a weight or percentage to a reply. So you could reward all replies with a small percentage because they are at least making an effort to socialize, but then give a larger upvote percentage to replies that have more effort, thought and overall value.

Once you reach a certain level you'll be able to do that. As you look at every one else's comments they have $0.04 from my upvote. I up voted you at 25% and as you can see that alloted you much less. Thanks for posting, Steem on!

Haha, I appreciate the .25% @brimax. I'm not being sarcastic at all, I thought that was funny. Cheers!

Thanks brother, up voted this comment with 100% vote power!
