the reward you get will be split up even you do know that? It depends when you vote with someone how the dividing will happen, so much to the writer so much to the voter. And the voter gets that in a percentage in sbd and SP. So it is not that 0.001 is really 0.001. :-) Out for that you have to keep in mind that this is crypto money, and has not got a steady price, so in januar I had like 2000 estimate dollar and now it is only 870 or something like that. Because steem went down, now it is on its way up again. And that reflex on everything. DO as much as possible contests, leave comments, never beg. And keep on writing good content so far I think I only can give you that advice.
