After reading @brimax's post "Free Steem", I figured that I would take a moment to reiterate what he's pointed out.
How to make more money
All one has to do is quickly hover over the trending tab and click to see that hardly are people commenting as much as they are simply upvoting.
Steemit as a website is a completely new and unique experience that has allowed individuals to garner rewards from curating posts.
Many people fail to take the opportunity to notice that when people comment on the posts that are being paid out high, many people (not all) tend to get a reward higher than that which simply upvoting would receive.

Comment on everything you upvote
If you don't comment on everything, that's okay - but comment on as much as you possibly can.
Commenting doesn't just get you rewards in the form of currency, it also builds the community stronger. A strong community that is actively participating with itself is able to progress cohesively rather than spread apart through divisiveness.

Not every comment pays large
Remember when you are commenting to be thoughtful and intelligent when hitting enter.
People want to know that you have read the content and that you aren't just seeking to be rewarded. The rewards are nice, but community is nicer. :)

Do NOT Spam your links!!!!
Let me say that again...
Do NOT Spam your links!!!!
Simple enough, really - but so many people do it. This is a quick way to get flagged and lose reputation. By not posting your links in the comments of other's posts you are also adhering to intelligent posting!
Keep these ideas in mind when browsing through your daily Steem activities. A strong community takes every individual. :)
