As you will learn there are a few problems with steemit, and a few people on steemit. Coming from Facebook, you may have hidden habits you are unaware of, just auto reflex actions. They will fade in time. Most important thing, is it is your vote, and don't let anyone try to tell you you have to vote for me or for this or for that. It is your vote, no one else's. Some people will try to offer advice and strategies on voting, but those that are offering advice will always remind you it is your vote.

Getting started is not an easy thing to do on steemit, it has gotten better there are helpful groups and people out there to help onboard new users and to give them a leg up.

Since you are a trader and investor, one of the things you want to check out is @dustsweeper. As a new user a lot of your voters are going to be from the smaller accounts, and dustsweeper can help prevent the potential of those rewards being dusted away and turn them into profit for you and for the person giving the vote. If after reviewing their postings you have questions I will try to answer them.

Enjoy your stay on Steemit, if you run into issue or problems and I can help I will certainly try to help.
