where to start. hmm hmm

First of i just saw your post by pure luck :P and i wanted to give you some answer because you are a new one.

secondly do you have steemitchat? you can sign up by going next to your account photo at the toolbar and you will find it out. use the same name as here in order people to find you out easily. when you do let me know and i share with you some tips because it's easier for me too, to right there many things instead of here.

To answer your first question it really depends. Most people probably won't read and just upvote the post other will read half of it and fewer will read the whole damn thing :P
till now i am one of those who try to read everything they upvote :)
