Lately I have been getting an up vote from a fellow steemian who has upvoted a couple of comments on his post - worked out to be around $3.00 for a comment, one week later and the payout I got was great.

0.958 SBD, and 0.897 STEEM POWER for kiwiscanfly

Just got approved yesterday! Interesting to learn all the nuances and practicalities. Thanks for the info!

Sweet - i am following you now - have upvoted some of your posts

Thanks! Following you too!

Yeah curation rewards are big part of Steemit.

Thank you so much for your advice!

I didn't know bout that thanks for sharing buddy

how long after a post is made do you vote for max effect?

when my voting % is close to 100% for max effect - i am always checking my voting % on that steemdb site

how long do you wait? asap? ten minures? half an hour? a whole hour? I have read somewhere that the time does make a big difference to the payout as well

i am not 100% sure, it used to be that for optimal effect and reward people would say vote at the 20 min mark, but now i hear people saying vote whenever - will have to do some more research..

I have read a few different ideas, was trying to pick your brains, thanks

If you upvote a post within 30 minutes of it posting, your curation reward is penalised. If you think the post is really worthy of the early upvote, you need to weigh up the benefits of being "first to vote" against the early voting penalty

Thank for your help

Good advice. following.
