When you are first getting started it is hard to grow your SBD and STEEM Power, but here are a few ways you can do it.
I have been delegated 1,000 SP to help new Steemonians find Steemit Success. Over the month of September I will be posting daily about different strategies, tips and tricks to help you become the best Steemoninan you can be. You can start at the beginning if you want.

When you are first starting out, there are a few great ways to earn some SBD. Here are a couple suggestions.
Contesting
When I first got here, I competed in a bunch of contests and even won the ability to do these posts with a bonus $1,200 in allocated SP because of a contest. When I first got here I won a few of them and got some SBD. I lost some, but had a great time doing it.
Here are few accounts to follow if you want to try a contest.
- @Papa-Pepper - This guy rocks. He runs some of the best and highest paying contests on Steemit. You have to give him a follow.
- @ArbitraryKitten - She and I started around the same time and she has grown into a powerhouse on Steemit. You need to follow her because she does all kinds of cool contests.
- Want to try the lottery, check out this account. I won a lottery a while ago and got some SBD. It is worth a shot!
- I am a huge fan of Nanzo Scoop and if you like Soccer, he has some great contests that he runs himself. He is just a great person to follow and I highly recommend him.
These are just a few people and accounts if you like contests or want to give one a try. When you first getting started, it is a great way to get to know people and possibly win some SBD. Keep an eye out for contests when you see them!
Replying
One of the very best ways to make some SBD and get your account growing early is to reply to some of the more established Steemonians.
Search for people that have a rating over 60 and give honest feedback and add value and you will likely get a vote in return. Not only will this help you build up your account, but it will get you noticed by some of the bigger dolphins and whales on the site. You can't fake it though, you have to give good replies and actually read the posts.
It's Not All About The Money
When you are reply and posting, it isn't all about the money, but making SBD and STEEM is important to growing your account and power on Steemit. The more Steem Power you have, the more your votes are worth. When I first started out, I converted almost all of my SBD to Steem Power to help grow my account.

I didn't focus on making money, but just got involved in things that had the potential to earn more for my time. If you do the above things, you will see your earnings increase early and give you a jump start on building your STEEM Power.
