Hi Guys,

This is my 7th day on Steemit. Today is the 1st time I received my reward. It’s not much, but it’s a great feeling when I receive the payout.

The reason I share this is because I want to **encourage** new steemit members to  be more excited on steemit. It's worth your time, your hard work paid well by the community. It's a great ecosystem that you can find a lot of opportunities here.

<center>In related with this tool, please read an awesome post 
from **@jerrybanfield** related **[Autovote Strategy]( https://steemit.com/steemit/@jerrybanfield/the-hf19-maximum-curation-rewards-strategy)**</center>


**[Steem Bot]( https://s3.amazonaws.com/yabapmatt/bottracker/bottracker.html)**

Use this tool to boost your post ranking, get upvotes and increase your reputation & followers.

<center>![Steem Bot.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmShVQon17365uKTobZVcn5vjGx6eePovRzhJTuA86enqG/Steem%20Bot.jpg)</center>

Please read this useful [post](https://steemit.com/steem/@prizim/steem-upvoting-bot-tracker-shows-where-to-buy-an-upvote) that explains everything you need to know about Steem Bot

I personally also use this tool, not only for the above reasons, but also to reward my upvoters (my curators). Usually I execute this bot around 45 minutes – 60 minutes after my posting, to give enough time for my fellow steemians to upvote **early (before I execute the bot)** so they could get a pretty good curator rewards  from it. That’s why a lot of steemians use the previous tool **(Steem Voter)** in order to maximize their curator rewards by setting up  the “Voting Delay Time” prior the boosting time.

There are still many many tools that you can use to improve your steemit account. You can find it in **[http://steemtools.com/](http://steemtools.com/)**
