This is a great project that enables newbies like i to know more about steemit,well my questions goes thus

  1. How can i get more followers that upvotes my posts
    2.how does earning on steemit works
  2. What are the advantages of being a member on steemit
  3. How wont i spend much on subscription before earning my reward.
    Thanks

Welcome to AMAWED, @bollutech! Thank you for your questions. I like the way @surpassinggoogle responded to your questions. To add to all what he has stated, my response to question 1 would be to sincerely willing to help others who are in need of assistance. Find people in your niche, read their posts and leave valuable comments there. There are lots of advantages of being on steemit. Let me paraphrase what @surpassinggoogle stated. You had a vision and a life before steemit, bring your vision and life unto the steemit blockchain and sell it to as many who believe in your vision. They'll help you run with it . A little caveat, though would be for you to first work on building a good reputation here. That takes a while. So, don't hurry. Personally, it has taken me (@maryfavour) about 6 months to build my reputation to about 60. My response to question 3, if I understood it well, is that you would't need to spend much on subscription . Maybe you mean data subscription. Well, there is nothing good that doesn't come with sacrifice.

thank you so much , i so much appreciate your answers to my question by emphasizing more on what @surpassinggoogle has stated.

Hi @redfishpillar that is very true nothing good come from a silver plater there must be a lot of sacrifice on it interms of time,money and energy capacitated by persistent.

It is free. Don't pursue it. Draw it in. Shake steemit, influence it with you, you vision, your presence, your substance, the spanlessness of your mind. It is like real life. If you are girl, catwalk that walk and halt the room, cos you walked in and your presence filled it. So pace thing, mine with your mind, grow in your substance and shine. financial earning will meet you half way. If you had a vision before steemit, play it out on the blockchain! you have mirrors in the form of reputable great minds, feed off of their feedback and keep building that dream or keep your dreams alive in dream-bits and rehearse them till fruition. This is life!
Tap in to this too. #steemgigs or #steemgig. Hone your expertise, while playing a role in potential history by helping other steemians bring their dreams into fruition. make connections, build the impossible, innovate. You didn't have an enabling environment? Now you have one in steem. I just gave you one million. Read between the lines. Apply foresight and you will see these things. There is no competition if your vision is staunch cos you will be above the competition.

See vid by flauwy:

Thank you so much for this .... I will keep moving it till it make more sense

I never really read whitepapers or materials when it comes to steemit but again we are all different. I am better with understanding concepts. Perhaps, you can apply that too. It helps you grasp things faster even with limited information. Just apply logic and your understanding of humans and life!

@surpassinggoogle i'm following you to get inspired as a mentor ..learning from you to become one of steemit veteran in some months

That is very true @surpassinggoogle logic application and understanding of humans and life in general can work as well.

Thank you very much Bro for your upvote and support @surpassinggoogle be blessed sir.

Hi @surpassinggoogle indeed this is a very inspiring and motivating advice for real

This is a laudable project,my question goes thus: How is the reputation point calculated and what significance does it have on earnings on Steemit.

Edited:

Just like the two people i tap motivation from: @surpassinggoogle and @maryfavour of @redfishpillar had said my friend, Its a Human Factor!

That is: i have confindence in @redfishpillar cos the director @maryfavour i trusted whole heartedly!

However, the Upvotes you get per post and your interactions via good comments increases your rep. Now with a High Rep, it means you have earned Steemit Trust and the People on Steemit.

Thats when newbies look up to you irrespective of your wallet and you have a great responsibility not to dissapoint them and encourage them all you can.

If you have a High Rep and executing same project with someone with very low Rep, people trust you the more and tends to support yours than someone yet to earn People's trust. One love dear Friend!

Thank you so much!

Most welcome.

Thanks a lot. Much love.

A good question i will like to buttress on once Our Host Responds...

Thanks, @oluwoleolaide. So glad to see you here. I have responded already. Please, help buttress my point. Cheers.

Thanks for your question, @blessedman939. The formula for calculating reputation is
((log10(abs(reputation#))-9)9)+25, which can be found on http://steem.cool/ . Well, the much I know about reputation, it doesn't really have singnificance on earnings. However, it does have impact of the visibility of your posts. The posts of Steemians with high reputation are seen and remain on top, probably in ''trending'' field of your blog than posts of those with low reputation. Steem power (SP) is what has direct impact on your earnings. The higher your SP, the greater your earnings. Similarly, the lower your SP, the lower your earnings.

Chai, you hit the nails

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it.

Awesome responses you have been fed with my friend. Wanna add something...

REP is also important because it draws people to click your posts. Certain people on Steemit believe that posts from high rep accounts are of high quality in content. And when more people click your posts and read what you have got, your chances if getting up votes also increases. And the more up votes you get, the more money you make. So you can see that there's hidden relationship between rep and earning potential. Thanks

@eurogee

Thanks.

Well, just the human factor mostly. In general, rep gives others a good feeling about you and sometimes, without checking your wallets, people may see you as whales cos your rep is 70. A whale however, can also have a rep of -4. So it is mostly the human factors, more like when you wear your lace agbada and people feel you own a bank

Yes, I understood you, tell me @surpassinggoogle, is it possible to raise my reputation as a commentator of someone else's posts? Thank you

Very much. May even faster than posts. Be constructive, innovative and sincere with your comments and you will draw people in. People are more laid back in comments and themselves cos it is interaction and many times impromptu. A post is more preempted

Clearly, the most important thing that would comment on the topic of the post, for this you need to carefully read the post and comprehend what is written in it, then also meaningfully comment. I hope I reason correctly.

Correct. Plus, standout! Read my last post

Thank you for your evaluation, I will certainly read your post, but if you have any questions, can I ask them in a post?

Sure thing. Look at my last post

Agbada and lace..just like a saying "aso nla ko ni eyan nla" but seriously, are you a Nigerian? Following you asap

Welcome to AMAWED, @serkagan! It is very possible to raise your reputation as a commentator just as @surpassinggoogle has stated. Very few people know you as a newbie and so might not be interested in voting on your posts. However, when you leave a valuable comment on the blog of a veteran Steemian, then you'll be known and probably that comment will receive upvotes, just as you have received from us here today.

Hahaha funny woman! I just know, i know Nigeria more than you but you are better than me at dealing with hot eba

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Lol, hot eba? Chaii, eba is not even my thing, give me pounded yam and egusi, then we can talk.

Thanks for taking out time to respond to questions here
Mama @maryfavour, e be like sey everybody wan become your PA o, me sef no mind o. Abeg employ me

Hahah, Can you write pounded yam and egusi in your dialect? Here is it in
Yorùbá, Iyán àti ègúsí

I was about to ask the same question. Glad you know much about my dear country. Not a fan of Eba though, i'll rather go for Amala with Gbegiri soup with my shirt off.

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate this.

Wow, you must have lived in Nigeria for a period or have Nigerian friends

Hahaha, don't lose yourself in that. Dig! You are my friend. I can learn a ton about you, just by your one-liners. I wouldn't need to have hung out with you for hours!

You truly have people figured out

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Please shift let me sit down, bring me popcorn and coke. So your reputation determines the visibility of your post? So how then will a minnow whose reputation is below par earn from his/her post? Any tips @maryfavour

Keep visiting people's pages and leave objective comments. As you keep doing this, with time they will come to recognize your username. As that happens...sonner than you think, they will begin to pay visits to your blog. This is how I came to know a Lotta people. I am still pushing, no dull moment

True...Thanks

Hahaha....alright, there you go, @jaynene with 96 cents , which can easily buy you popcorn and coke. Lol! Yes, your reputation is the major factor that determines the visibility of your post. Like @surpassinggoogle, CEO of @steemgigs , has stated, you've just earned from your posting your valuable comments. I'll explain something to you about steemit posts. Posts here comprise of both the ones you write in ''submit a story'' field and comments . So your comments too are posts! If you make valuable, constructive comments, you'll definitely earn. However, if you troll or spam people's blog pages, you risk getting red flags. My humble advice to newbies, regarding posts would be for them to focus more on commenting on veteran Steemian's post, rather than focusing of authoring posts themselves. You will be better recognized and draw attention of those esteemed Steemians when you leave valuable comments on theirs blogs. There is really a lot to learn in steemit. I'm still learning from experienced Steemians like @surpassinggogle and those with high reputation like @oluwoleolaide.

Thanks, I have learnt a lot from here today. And 90 cents for coke and popcorn for this Buhari regime, nne, e no go do o. I go soon run comot when I hammer for steemit..lol
Thanks for this anyways. Today is my most interactive day on steemit especially with Nigerians

You just earned. Learning is the ultimate earning!

I have been asked by friends on how to withdraw my SBD.
How can i do it,i have read of many tutorials to use bittrex,blocktrades,poloniex,bitpay,localbitcoins and many more.
I have never found a comprehensive tutorial to do it.
I am from Uganda

Welcome to AMAWED, @jaraumoses and thank you for your question! So happy to know that you are from #Uganda. How is Uganda today? I will link a youtube video of mine of how to withdraw STEEM, not SBD (since you'll first have to convert to STEEM). Moreover, you can leave SBD's in your account and use it for exchange for services in @steemgigs.

I will be waiting for the video link so that i apply the principle @surpassinggoogle taught us in a recent post.

I will watch and learn,apply/do(convert my personal Steem to cash)and then teach(write a post and explain face to face) my fellow Ugandans i am bringing on board.

The Learn Do Teach principle is very powerful here on Steemit.

It's really good to know that you'll soon been on-boarding your community in #Uganda to steemit. Awesome! I can't wait to welcome them! We really appreciate your contribution here and in steemit in general. Keep the steem flag flying, brother!

@jaraumoses, here is the link to the video

Well that is where research and doing a post, you just may provide the first resource on the entire web answering your question. Utmostly, converting steem to bitcoin is always easy. So you simply need a bitcoin wallet that affiliates with banks in Uganda or have a bitcoin ATM sent you or look for stores where bitcoin is sold or have a trusted person, send you cash using western union etc. I don't know if remitano covers Uganda. @oluwoleolaide knows better. Try payza, or skrill. i am sure they cover Uganda

I just checked, remitano covers Uganda.I will have to read more and make a post.
Thank you for the post idea and sending me to remitano.
I will be making a post soon.

Great you can link me to it when done!

Wow... This will be an interesting session. Have taken my sit. Your such an embodiment of passion for Steemit. I trust this will help newbies a lot. Thanks

Hello @eurogee of the #Euronation. Welcome to AMAWED. Yes, please take your seat and feel free to ask your questions and assist in responding to questions. Thanks.

This is more like passion for humans, steemit and beyond. If you were surpassing google before steemit, surpass it on and on, on steemit

Now i know what the name is all about. I've really learnt a lot from you today.I'm going to be hanging around more often now.

Which is more significant

Steem
Steem power
Steem dollar

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Building your steem power is more significant to me

Steem power is the heart and soul of your account :)

Thanks for the contributions
Now I have gotten my answers

@olarewaju, I am glad that your question has been answered. Please, pay close attention to @surpassinggoogle's response to your question. He is a veteran Steemian with a lot more experience that any of us here has. Enjoy that steemit ride!

@maryfavour

Depends on you for the most part. Steem and steem dollar are spendable. Steem power gives you a voice and makes you CEO of steem.
https://steemit.com/steemit/@papa-pepper/grasping-a-better-steemit-mindset

You are CEO!

I have a question that may seem strange to you, if anything excuse me, can I ask Steem power for a loan from the community, well, is it told for 3 months to strengthen as a private owner, do I return after 3 months?

Depends on which community you are intending to ask for and what are you loaning with. If you mean rent, yes. You can contact me in chat. I can listen to your intentions. Pacing is key. Mentality is key. Plus, there was life before steemit, that shouldn't change cos you met steemit. The question is not strange. People do loans on steemit but the ones i have seen use collateral. Build solid connections by means of interaction but of course connections require a history and elapsed time. Plus life applies, do the things you can do in real life on steemit. everything looks public on steemit but there is also a privacy paradigm. Not everyone is on steemit to earn, some people are here to stay anonymous. there are many reasons to be here on steemit beyond earning

You answered one of my questions!!!. If need be, I will contact you.

More about me, in my last post, in preparation for our talk. Which is coming soon. Another person stole your hours

I just saw your response. I will give a great look at it. If it answers all my questions then I can easily forget the dm. Its 2 am here.

Pls can you send me the post you made on how people can get as much as 10usd or more on their introduceyourself post. I need to share it. Thanks.

Quite right, please tell me when I can contact you in the chat, I will share what and how? And thanks for the answer @surpassinggoogle

Welcome to AMAWED, @olarewaju! Thanks for your question. Nothing beats steem power (SP) like @asbonclz and @jaynene have stated. Building your own SP here is key . Moreover, building relationships and communities in steemit is even more important.

I'm sorry for coming here lately ma, and I'm glad to see my proxy witness here too.... I was late because of the whatsapp base tutorial I was given LAUTECH STEEMIT COMMUNITY......

i'll be using this medium to introduce @bollutech as one of our product so far

Its my pleasure to be in this innovative community

I bet you gonna love it more bro

I'm already in for this and i cant just stop doing this cos i want to inspire and be inspired ...... Learning from people from other countries is really a great one for me .
Thanks @honourmaus for giving me an opportunity to be one of those thats learning here .

We are One Big Family bro.......

STEEM ON, PERSONALLY, I'M GONNA STEEM TO THE END

Great.

Thank you sir

It's okay, @honourmaus. The job that you were doing is very important to steemit as well, community building. That is where steemit is headed now. Our witness, @surpassingoogle and @steemgigs is my pillar of support here. I am even more happy that he is here for us and very grateful to him for this.

This is a very interesting initiative......

Imma stay tuned

Thank you, @honourmaus! Welcome to AMAWED. It's good to see you here. Looking forward to your questions. Steem on!!!

Okay, thank you for slanging

I've just seen this post as it was resteemed - thank you for bringing it to my attention.

I have been here for a month, and I feel like I am finding my feet, but I do have a lot of questions so will take this opportunity to ask one - is there any way I can delete spammy "nice post, follow me" style comments from my posts?

I hate them and would rather get rid of them!

😊

Nope you can't! for me, i would sift the bad for the good in them. Every time you take the high road, it is hard but it is a special evolution! But this how i tread

Ok thank you

Welcome to AMAWED, @coffeehub! Thanks for your question. Oh that experience of spams is always there from very desperate Steemians. I had a particularly bad experience a few weeks ago on this very blog where one @yoenelmundo and her curation trail members - 172 of them, flagged my post , because I flagged her spam comment. After that experience, I reported the matter to @steemcleaners. Anyway, to cut the long story short, I reported the abuse to #steemitabuse in steemit.chat and later on I got help from @patrice. Here is the link to that post, it shares my experience and how to deal with spam cases in steemit, https://steemit.com/spam/@maryfavour/when-you-think-you-can-spam-with-impunity-spaminator-and-sadkitten-comes-to-the-rescue

Hi - thank you for your answer. I will read your other post to see what I can do to help with the dreaded spamming.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

@maryfavour thanks for this amazing project. Didn't know a project like this exist on steemit from a Nigerian. I do see you on the africa united channel on steem chat. Please is there a channel for Nigerians? I will like to be part of your project if you will need an assistant like a P.A

Welcome to AMAWED, @sirpaul! Sincerely, I appreciate your commendation. Yes, there is a channel for Nigerians in steemit.chat. Here is the link, https://steemit.chat/channel/nigeria . I see you as already part of my project. Wow! a P.A.? That would be cool to have more PA's . @honourmaus is one of them. You would be most welcome to join us. Cheers.

@maryfavour for @redfishpillar project

☺ I'm already her PA sir..... Too many PA for her now I guess if she needs more, nice Meeting you @sirpaul

Nice meeting you too and weldone with the LAUTECH steemit community.
Nigerians needs to know how blockchain and cyrptocurrencies are gonna revolutionize the financial market and steemit is what Nigerians need.

You are absolutely right member, I'm a very easy going person so I think nobody will attack me even if I drop my number here online(07037447041) , i'll be glad if we can stay connected. My number will definitely be available for all ready-to-be-committed steemian.

I love steemit
Fact!!!!

I'll be glad to be in touch with you

Trust me, dear, @honourmaus. Nobody will attack you. I'm only concerned about security, that is why personally, I don't leave my mobile number in the open like this. I would rather leave my number in a private message, either in steemit.chat or on discord and delete almost immediately,

Hummmmmm, that's something fabulous...... Learning continue....... I appreciate having you ma.

Thanks

Thanks. I will contact you

You can as well join @redfishpillar on DISCORD via https://discord.gg/T2pPBZs

Thanks for this, @honourmaus, my able P.A.

Tell me @surpassinggoogle, I just started my way on and I want to ask if you can move forward if you comment on other people's posts? My posts are still not working well :)

It's what interests me the same.

Hi magnata, please read my response to @serkagan

Yes, you very much can. Just keep the comments engaging and show of your beauty as for posts, stay consistent, you can also be technical and stunty. Here is all you need in one post, with sample posts from the past. You will grasp. Too, see your post as your power, you voice, you legacy for generations yet unborn, your means to reshape the internet. Well, read this post indepthly and pay attention to the underlying life message in them. These are the best times on steemit. Pay attention to the earning on my old sample posts

How long does it take SBD to convert to STEEM using the steem wallet?

Welcome to AMAWED, @bat-junior! Thank you for your question. @surpassinggogle has already done justice in responding to the question. I am grateful to him for helping me out. Moreover, I made a video regarding conversion of SBDs to STEEM 3 weeks ago. Please, watch my youtube video which I would link now.

Thank you @aryfavour for the enlightenment

You are welcome, @bat-junior! Enjoy the steemit ride!

Here is the link to my youtube video on how long the conversion takes and how to do the conversion

If you are to trade it internally (https://steemit.com/market), there are always open trades, so it can happen instantly. If you want to convert it, 3.5 days; less time than it takes to build one ab. Moreover, you like them apps, so powerup them steem after you change em

Thanks for helping me respond to questions. If only newbies and some other Steemians understand what it means to have their own SP, I don't mean delegated steem power (DSP), they'll power up every 1 SBD that they've earned (after converting to STEEM) like I do most times, instead of cashing out through bittrex or blocktrades. Here is my record of '' power up'' from steemdb.com. It might interest them to know that 2 days ago I powered up 1 STEEM! Here is the evidence,

Hahaha, i speak of exactly this. Overtime it becomes clear, even on steemit, you own is everything. I tell boys, even a hardfork can alter all the help you get. Plus, there was life before steemit.

Very true. Your own SP is everything. Absolutely! There was life before steemit. Hope they get to understand that very soon.

Thank you Terry. You the best

Aside from providing high quality posts, what else can you do to make your post recognizable to many steemians?

Make it recognizeable to yourself and it will draw people in. If you tickle yourself, it is very hard to make yourself laugh. The moment you start to marvel at your own creation, you are doing greatness. Plus, it is not totally about high quality, there is also a behavior paradigm and the human factor, so build connections and this takes time, so pace things. People you see earning, had a history and may do sleepless nights behind the scene. Moreover build your own whale. You are ceo of steem, build your portion of it. Be leader. Bring your community here on steem, take them to greatness. Take your steem to the moon

thank you for a detailed answer. steem to the moon!

@redfishpillar thanks for organising this project.

My question :
The total account value in my wallet seem to be reducing lately. It was around $64 2 days ago, and I checked yesterday but to my surprise I saw $57. What can possibly cause this?

It's always like that because of the volatility of cyrptocurrency market. If you have more value in your account that means the price of steem has gone up and if it's down then the price has gone down. You can always check the value from coinmarketcap.com or from the market place in your wallet

Don't worry, it will be back up. Account value is an estimate based on the value of steem. Steem price fell but it is back on the rise. Make sure to stay awesome!

Thanks for your response. I got it now.

Is it possible to rise posting some posts?

Yes it is. Ultimately, there are many things to do on steemit and steem. Look at the comment above

Thank you .

What does the number beside peoples username signify and how does one become a whale?

Welcome to AMAWED, @jeaniepearl! Thanks for your question. The number beside your steemit username signifies your reputation. Many thanks to @surpassinggoogle for responding to the second part of your question. Numerically, in steemit, you would need to have over 1 billion vests (>1,000,000,000 vests/ about 500,000,000 SP) to be a whale. Moreover, like @surpassinggoogle stated you need to have a whale mentality and be the best version of yourself. That is when you would see true growth. I hope this response and @surpassinggoogle's help.

Thank you ma'am
I followed you just yesterday and am already learning a lot
Keep it up

Great, @jeaniepearl! I'm glad that you are already learning a lot. Meanwhile, I would like to congratulate you again for emerging the winner this week for @steem-lagos' weekly contest for newbies. Keep the steem flag flying, dear!

Become a whale? You are whale to me.

The number has more to with a behavior paradigm: "mine with mind" and you continue to become the best version of yourself, the number rises. Basically, when a community of reputable great minds who aren't affiliated to you come around to vote on you for evolving aright, the number grows. in the world of today's stats still matter

I really appreciate,thanks for enlighten me
And that quote "you are a whale to me"
Such an encouragement
Thanks

Hello, @surpassinggogle! Welcome to AMAWED. I really appreciate your coming around to help respond to questions from newbies. I bet we would all benefit and enjoy your response to our questions from your wealth of experience as a veteran and esteemed Steemian. Thank you for helping me respond to @jeaniepearl's question and questions from others. Cheers.

Hahaha you are welcome! I spend hours in Dm, this works a lot better. Although, i don't talk this much except in the DMs but i guess it is getting to that point.

This is a very good idea because personally I have some questions I would like to ask.

  • How do I know someone delegated a Steempower?

  • If SP is delegated who gets the reward? The delegator? Or the person in use of the Delegated Steempower?

  • How do i get borrow delegated SP?

Well, you can find out on steemd.com/@harbysco and i believe other tools. i dont know if busy.org shows that yet but it is evolving. if you were delegated steem power, you will receive all the rewards. the truth is i do believe in what's your own cos the feeling is greater but if you want to get a delegation to raise your sp, i think minnowbooster.net has that tool.

Thank you sir, this reply is quite helpful.

I am just a week old here. There are lots of things I can't understand like having lots of votes, yet the amount earned doesn't go up. I also can't understand what VESTS mean. Thank you for the future answers.

Lots of votes with limited payout may have to do with the vest level of the accounts upvoting. so let's call it steem power, if you or an upvoter has high steem power, their your vote will distribute heavier rewards than those with lower power. too, when you account grows a bit to say "500" or "1000" steem power (not very sure), you will get a slider when you vote using steemit.com, so you can determine with how much percentage you want to vote. Some of the votes you may get may be at small percentages. Note that votes don't only help with earn, they also help with visibility, and that can trigger, more power votes. Ofcourse, you know you can submit me your post in a comment, i will visit

That's very clear sir @surpassinggoogle. Thanks for being helpful towards newbies like me. That's deeply appreciated.

when you account grows a bit to say "500" or "1000" steem power (not very sure), you will get a slider when you vote using steemit.com,

It is 500 steem power. I just confirmed that for you.

Thank you sir!

You art welcome. Stay awesome!

I confirmed your doubt about the steem power, its 500.

What is the best way to exchange ideas about building new features on Steemit?

I wouldn't know the best channel or discord server but you can find some of steemit chat if your are there. On discord, you can start here https://discord.gg/ZtNTdaf but their are others. I think there are tags too or you can develop a tag using your post and start a conversation. @timcliff can answer this best. You can also build a feature yourself or with your team and submit it for entry on github. @timcliff knows these answers better

Thank you very much @surpassinggoogle for the helpful answer!

Some hours ago when i updated my blog by introducing myself to this community, at first i felt like why i'm here and whats value does this have to do with my reputation. And i came up with this questions .

•What is the effect of @cheetah comments on a newbies post
• Does that has anything related to the newbies who was a novice to the community

Cheetah always come to a post that was copied and pasted from another website without making a reference. Steemit emphasize quality and original contents.
As a Minnow, it's good to avoid cheetah as much as possible. Cheetah makes people avoid your post meaning less or no upvote.
Read more here

Exactly, but cheetah can also copy a post that wasn't plagiarized. For popular topics, you can have written it originally but still have shared the same sentiments with people out there regardless. Cheetah can still visit. Even if you never opened the internet, for instance, history with dates or food recipes even. Experienced curators know how to check this out and may still vote these posts. In my case, i understand concepts, principles, intentions etc, so i may still vote, plus experience, so i definitely look more intently and may vote

In the past cheetah used to flag and that could dent your reputation and incessant flags from it, could to your account being on a blacklist. Now cheetah is friendlier but still has effect as some voters have cheetah as part of their voting parameters and simply won't vote. More veteran curators look for things beyond quality when it comes to upvote. Basically, they read between the lines and may still vote. Overall, if your post is developed from a popular subject and online resource, it is essential to really study or learn the subject and write out your post in your own perspective. Proper paraphrasing is key, so that how your sentiments are related are the same as another person's. if you are bringing in materials from you own resource elsewhere, simply state beneath your post, that your post was originally published there, so that curators will have more freedom when it comes to votes.

Here is a bit of history:

Welcome to @AMAWED, @bollitech! I am glad that @surpassinggoogle, has responded to your question, using his wealth of experience here in steemit. So please, pay heed to his advice. My addition to his response would be a post I wrote about @cheetah some weeks ago. The post itself and comments there from the developer of the cheetah robot, witness @anyx, would give you a good insight into how @cheetah works. Whether, you are new or old in steemit, if @cheetah visits you too frequently, then you'll likely get a ban and that will be the end of your account. Here is the link to the post, https://steemit.com/cheetah/@maryfavour/when-you-incur-the-wrath-of-cheetah

Let me quickly add this, @bollutech. I detest plagiarism in all it's forms, which is why @cheetah visted in the first place. So, personally, I will not vote on a post that @cheetah has visited and if my bot in @steemvoter voted on it, I'll quietly unvote the post. ORIGINALITY IS THE KEY. Be ORIGINAL in steemit and everywhere.

Thank you so much @redfishpillar for creating a time to encourage , advice and help newbies here .

Hi @redfishpillar thank you for notifying a newbie like me in Steemit blockchain network about this initiative project called (AMAWED) wednesday Ask Me Anything definitely i will try as much as possible to take part in it so that i can receive some advice on how to grow on steemit and become a big fish indeed this is a good post Keep it up.

suggest me please a magic tag for all my posts. thank you.

Hahaha, this is interesting, however the word "magic-tag" can be a tag. You can create a niche around it. And probably someday I can use it as a tag too.

Use valid tags. You can also start your own niche tag and gradually build a community out of it

The second question is if my power steem is very low, can I upvote posts and comments with high balance, what are advantgaes and disadvanages of doing that?.. Also how can I increase my power steam again before the next 24 hours passing? Are comments may increase it?

Comment strategically and interactively.

Looks like I came late to this AMA session.

Indeed a useful project. :)
