@terrycraft Hi im desperate to figure something out so here goes. I want to make it clear that I understand as a newbie my upvote only carries 0.01 and that its best not to allow my steem power drop below 80% in a 24 hour period. What I do not understand is after exchanging for more steempower why after up voting just once my steem power goes back down to 15 where i started and then i completley lose my weight to vote. After 3 weeks of literally sleeping on the safa at night because I have gone out and spread the word as a social media marketer. I also have about 9 people that have been waiting nearly a week to get verified. i know mine took two weeks but holding sometimes interest for that long is very challenging so im trying to share pre education before they come on board and I am personally having a one on one with each one to check that they set their intro up in the best way possible. It is really difficult for newbies to get help here. We are the future blood of this platform. The more of us that get looked after the bigger and better this is for every one. We dont even have chat rooms for help here because of past spammers. Your help would be so appreciated I have reached the point where I literally feel like crying and im a grown man of 42 but maybe its because of all the hard work I have put in behind the scenes as well as just been my genuine self here and looking to help others :)
