Greetings Steemians!
In this post, I am sharing those experiences with you, which benefitted me a lot and helped me to be successful here.
When I joined Steemit on March 2018, I received 15 SP delegation from . I found it very hard to earn or make any impact here with such a low SP. So, I decided to power up. At first I bought 75 Steem in 10,000 INR and powered up. With this SP, I could earn liquid Steem and SBD which I sold in 5000 INR. Even after 50% disinvestment, I had 10,000 INR worth SP and SBD in my account. Later when the price of Steem dropped, I bought 65 Steem in 14,000 INR at 2.7USD/Steem. I made a mistake as in the few weeks, Steem price was $1.15/Steem. I should have wait for a few weeks.
However, I was not in a loss as now I have 24 Steem, 168 Steem Power and 29 SBD which roughly equals to 335 USD i.e. 23,000 INR, that is 4100 INR more than my net investment. Still, I have to get roughly 15 USD worth payout in a week. So, I can say investing in Steem is always profitable.
Benefit of holding Steem Power
- It gives your votes more weight which means increasing the chances of earning.
- Your chances of earning curation reward increases with more SP.
- Holding of SP earns compound interest. It means you earn even if you are not active on Steem blockchain.
Therefore, I recommend fellow plankton and minnows to buy Steem to power up. It will increase the price of Steem and so of your holding.
Some alternative ways to increase income on Steem platform
Steembasicincome
As per their post:
If you want to get involved, or to increase the share of basic income that you receive, enrollment is pretty straightforward:
Just send 1 STEEM to. Include the name of a Steemian to sponsor in the transaction memo (preceded by @). You and the person you sponsor will each receive 1 share in the program. You can sponsor any active Steemian, it does not have to be a current member.
If you're unclear, please check out our full transaction memo guidelines and then let us know if you have any questions.

Dustsweeper
According to introduction post:
If you have an upvote that is less than $0.0249, then your value will show either $0.00, $0.01, or $0.02.
will see those values on day 6 of your post/comment and upvote you $0.028 automatically so that you will get paid on the balance of those upvotes you already have.
There is no membership fee whatsoever, but there is a charge of $0.014 SBD for every dust vote we cast. That is half of the value of the upvote of $0.028. The way we keep track of it is that you send about 1 SBD/STEEM or more, we double the amount and keep the balance on hand. Every time we upvote your dust we will just take it from that balance. For example, you will get 71 dust votes before your 1 SBD runs out. When you get low on your balance, you will be notified so that you can top-up yourbalance and be sure you don't miss any votes.
