I was wondering what gets my reputation up, and had little cue. Thanks for clarifying these things . I really enjoying your videos . This is not flirting this is reality.
But I have a question : does reputation influence the Monstary income? I ve seen people with( minus 7 reputation) but still featuring in the “trending” posts on steemit
Great question! And no not necessarily. You can have a low reputation but still have people who are following you who have big accounts (money). The money you earn for your posts is solely determined by that. Also, if you have, say a $1million account, and you upvote your own post then you will earn a lot from your own upvote.
That's true. I saw someone with a -18 score rake in over $800 on a single post.
Thanks for clarifying. I personally worry to follow people under the starting reputation score (25) .. it feels something wrong over there ! However, now I think I shouldn’t judge the same again, maybe someone else ( big account) just did a mistake and flagged them. It’s worth to help them as we can then.
Although my style is to put it out there and leave it to the four winds to decide its merit, it was interesting to learn how those type of things are decided.
I like your ( four winds) expression :)
Thanks for the video man.
You're very welcome, I'm glad it helped! :)
I watched your video on YouTube. But upvoting on this platform. I am new to Steemit and have been doing some of the suggestions you have expounded on. I am finding that some people engage in meaningful conversation in response to my posts and give commendable suggestions or identify that they like it for one reason or another. Others may only have time to browse and upvote. I feel blessed for all of the interaction I have attained since utilizing this platform, as i chosen it over YouTube. I find that many Steemians with significant reputation levels and followers that are actively participating on their blogs present information similar to what your focus is. Do you feel that Steemit participants are also interested in everyday posts. In using everyday to describe posts, I mean, in posts that relate to activities of daily living? I am certain that you have many to respond to but, if you have the opportunity, please elaborate on my question. I appreciate your suggestions and hope that we all achieve Steemit success. Thanks
Finally somebody to brake it down for us the newbies , i've watched many videos that confused me even more, this one made it clear , reputation - reputation - reputation !!thanks Brandon
Are Steemit And D-TUbe Connected?
They're both user interfaces built on the Steem blockchain, so yes. They're just different websites/interfaces attached to the same data.
Ok Thank's!!
(49) reputation its good?
Yep, as I mention in today's video "If you're above a 25 reputation then you're doing the right things". Keep on organically building your reputation by posting content and commenting on posts.
yes that what i'm doing in your post but you forget to support me my dear @brandonfrye can you resteem one post of my blog
Your post resteemed
I usually like your videos but I thought this was a little long. I think it would have been better if it was half the time. Good explanation though showing the importance of participating in Steem.
Thanks @zhawk for the feedback. Unfortunately this is one of those subjects that is pretty indepth and I actually left a lot out on this video. The good thing is you really don't have to know how reputation works, but just know that it's there. Thanks again for the comment! :)
Thanks for the video. Thanks for taking the time to repond to commentors. I follow you, I enjoy what you do. Thank you.
As you said, at the end of the day, rep will come with quality contributions, however its always nice to see people like yourself opening a dialogue about this stuff because people do not always know what to expect.
Upvoted and resteemed.
Thanks @infidel1258, I appreciate the support and your acknowledgement about the time I take to keep the dialogue going here. It can be a lot of work but it's so worth it knowing that people are getting their questions answered. Reputation on Steemit is an interesting subject as it affects us all but we don't necessarily have to know how to work. Just keep doing the right thing and building organically. :)
Keep these coming! It great to have some explanations about the platform from within it!
Thanks @ngans, and congratulations for winning yesterday's comment reward. I always appreciate your comments and feedback. Much love! :)
Thank you!

Can anyone explain what this is? It sounds like something along the lines of an upvote bot but I am not sure.
Yes I’ve got videos on using upvote bots if you want to check it out. 👍🏻
