Authors get paid when people like you upvote their post.

Sort Order:  

It's based on Steem Power. The more power the person voting has the higher the reward. One whale with a lot of Steem Power can give you hundreds of dollars in one vote while others with little or no Steem Power give you nothing.

Your earning potential decreases dramatically after 5 posts a day I hear. So does your voting power after 20 votes.
