RE: It's your vote, here is one method, but it is a long read - - - One way to Maximize your Votes Power - - -
Wow! You really thought hard about your voting strategy. I feel like a need a voting coach now. I've been rather haphazard about it so I started using Steemauto to let someone else do the voting for me. Even then, you have to decide how to choose the settings and it can result in very little return.
I'm voting about 20 to 25 times a day now, I think, and my voting power is always around 35 to 40%. Would it be better to vote less frequently with more power?
Since you are spending a lot of time on curation, have you thought about starting a trail on Steemauto? I would follow you. Maybe I can already do that. I'll have to log in and see.
Right now I'm only following @buzzbeergeek. He seems like a really nice guy and I'm happy to support him.
I was told that the lower your vote value percentage wise, the lower your curation reward. I do not know at what point it makes a lot of difference. I myself do not understand it that well at all. We are dealing with two different percentage numbers. One is the percentage of your vote power remaining. That's easy to see on steemworld.org. The other is the percentage at which a vote is cast, (using the slider). Most of the whale accounts I have looked at keep their Vote power levels up in the high 90% range, and then cast lots and lots of votes at a small percentage like 2% or less.
So I sort of base my voting on that standard. I try to keep my vote power above 85% and most of the votes I give are at the 20-30% range, depending on steem price, I like to try and keep the vote value I give at about $0.02 cents, so the person receiving will get a reward, and so I will get a curation reward from giving the vote. It gets hard and is sometimes a balancing act especially when I really do not understand it very much.
I really do not know anything at all about curation trails. I do use a manually controlled curation trail from @thehive, they will put 3 post in the discord hive bomb room about 24 hours before they are going to go vote, so the members can go cast a vote before and get a slightly better curation reward. So that is the extent of my knowledge on curation trails. If I ever get too much SP to where I can not keep up manually on my voting, then I may look into them, but for now, I like to know what I am voting on.
Here is the link you want to look at for finding some one to vote follow https://steemit.com/engagement/@abh12345/5av4at-the-curation-and-engagement-leagues-steem-prizes-and-steem-bounty-available
Look at the curation league. Those people know how when and who to vote for. Me I am just all over the place. Asher is very good with figuring out the numbers and letting us know how well we are doing. vote wise or engagement wise.
