I think buying upvote is not the best way for us to make money in steemit and because our money will be lost during the payments later and this I have ever calculated and a good time to buy upvote is when the price of sbd or steem is rising, then it's a good time and a little chance that will make us lose money and what if we buy upbote to make our posts enter in the category of trending is very good,
because maybe we are promoting our project and will very much see about our post.
for a new steemian my suggestion is to make a quality article and often comment on some pope's post is the key to success in steemit for new steemian and continue to work it is a business success in steemit
this is the answer from me, may be useful for all of you
