The Fanbase feature on SteemAuto is designed for you to automatically follow and upvote your favourite Steemit content creators.
Problem is, I notice that some people are just leaving the default settings as they are. If you do that, then you are likely to get zero curation rewards. If you're happy with that, then fine, otherwise read on.
SteemAuto Default Fanbase Settings
The default settings on Fanbase when you add a username are:
Voting Weight is 100%;
Time is 0 minutes;
Daily limit of 5 upvotes.
This means that your upvote will arrive as soon as an article is posted. Upvoting so early will yield curation rewards of zero. The full formula is complicated and depends on other voters, but a good starting point is the default used on SteemVoter, which is 20 minutes. You can then tweak this value with experience.
Advice for low value SP accounts
If you have Steem Power of 200 SP, your 100% upvote is currently worth about 2.4 cents. So if you set the Weight at 50%, your upvote will be worth about 1.2 cents. So long as your upvote is worth at least a whole cent, then you should receive some curation rewards - not much, but from a low base it all helps to slowly increase your Steem Power.
Compounding your Steem Power may seem slow at first but it grows rapidly in the long term.
However, if you're a complete beginner with, say, only 20 SP of Steem Power, then your upvote will be worth ten times less, or about 0.24 cents. But if you start to decrease your Weight, you may not see any curation rewards at such a low upvote, even though it has cost you Voting Power.
SteemAuto has a handy feature to stop users generating miniscule upvotes. You may see some of your entries "Disabled" automatically. A text pop-up suggests that if you are seeing this Disabled sign, to increase your upvote weight.
In general, it really is better for you to use higher upvotes fewer times per day.
If you have to vote at 100% Weight because of low Steem Power, then you'll need to adjust the final setting: the daily limit of upvotes.
I would start with just 1 upvote per day per account and then adjust it to your personal settings.
So, if I had a small account, I would reset the defaults to, say, 100% weight after 20 minutes and 1 upvote per day per user.
However, if the person you are following has very few other automated votes, you could push up that time to between 20 and 30 minutes.
Now you can go practise these settings by adding @accelerator to your Fanbase!
One last thing...
Don't forget to look at your Dashboard and set the global "Limit on voting power".
You do not want to accidentally drain your whole Voting Power in one day! It happens.
I would set that to 80%, or even 90%; this really depends on how many manual upvotes you are making every day. The beauty is that even if you are away for a day or two, your Fanbase is still getting upvotes and you're still earning some curation rewards.
If you have already drained your Voting Power... then stop upvoting and go write some interesting articles and comments instead!
