Investing long-term with Steem: Time as an overlooked parameter

Hello. Thanks for a great article. I'm still new around here and still a bit confused by those 3 currencies used here, but articles like yours helps a lgreat deal.
Anyway, I need to ask - how does "curating" works? Is it just replying to the post with comments? Or is this purely just upvoting/downvoting articles?

Curating is mainly about spotting good articles and upvoting them. Preferably before others do (that maximizes the profits). A percentage of the article reward (25% IIRC) go to the curators in order of vote priority and vote weight. If your vote doesn't have much weight then obviously curation rewards would be very low. My ~1500 SP give me ~3-10SP per week from curation, but I'm not very active in that regard and I use a lot of upvotes as "likes" in comments (which isn't really maximizing my curation potential). It could probably be twice that.

Thanks, its only my low amount of SP then :) I started to think I'm doing something wrong when not receiving anything at all. I guess I need to get above 3 SP I currently have any impact.
