Steem Investor Guide: How To Make Money With Steem Power

Message:

Dear Steem investors, welcome to the Steem blockchain. We are 44 thousand active Steemians who post regularly valuable (and not so valuable content) to this marvelous ecosystem. This entire system depends on the voting power of all Steem holders. However, if you just let your Steem sit on an exchange or as liquid Steem in your Steem wallet then you will not be able to reap the fruits of your investment. This article will show you what to do with your Steem to get the greatest rewards for your money.

Power Up Your Steem

Steem is no simple pump and dump coin. Steem is the biggest social experiment in the history of mankind! It is an opportunity hub that connects people and creates financial stability for its participants and their projects. With the Steem Power that comes from vesting your liquid Steem for at least 13 weeks into the ecosystem thousands of peoples lifes will be changed and you can earn incredible returns for your investment. You will never loose any of Steem Power when you interact with the Steem blockchain mechanics. You will only make more.

To do so send your Steem to your Steemit account. If you haven't created one yet it will take a few days via Steemit or pay 6 Steem for it and get it immediately. Just use the withdraw function of your exchange and enter the name of your account. When it arrives you can go to your wallet and click on your Steem. A dropdown will reveal the Power Up function. You will need your Steemit password or your private Active key which you will find in your wallet under permissions.

1) Curation Rewards

The first big way to earn Steem for investors is by simply upvoting articles on Steemit, Busy, ChainBB, DTube, Utopian, dMania and many more. These are all websites that access the Steem blockchain in a different way. Check them out, they are all great. Find the content you like and upvote it. You will find a voting slider that allows you to control the upvote weight. 100% will be the biggest vote you can make which creates a Steem Dollar amount depending on your Steem Power amount. Find out on SteemWorld how much yours is worth - I bet you are surprised!

When you upvote you will burn 2% of your voting power which will generate in 2.4 hours. That means you can and should use 20% of your voting power every day because that is as much as you regenerate each day in total. That equals 10 full 100% upvotes or many more with smaller percentages. You will earn curation rewards for each upvote depending on many factors. 25% of each post is designated for the curators. You will share that with all others and get more of the pool when you vote early and the post gets plenty of upvotes after you.

2) Curation Trails

If manually curating is too time consuming for you or if you trust the judgement of others better than you might be interested in curation trails. You can use tools like Steemauto to automatically upvote the posts that the leader of a trail you are following is upvoting. This is a popular mechanic on Steem and can be very profitable when you follow someone like @cryptoctopus or use the new 1UP curation system.

This will allow you to create even better curation rewards than doing it manually and just create a nice passive income of new Steem every day for you. All you have to do is collect your payouts and at the same time you can support great curation projects and the people who profit from them.

3) Vote Selling

Yes, that is indeed a thing and people are using this heavily to promote themselves and even make some profit with it. As a stakeholder of Steem Power you can use services like @minnowbooster or @smartsteem to sell your votes to their users. They will automatically send you your payouts and other people can use your upvotes to achieve greater visibility on the Steem community. On top of that you will still earn curation rewards.

4) Delegation Selling

One of the amazing features of being a Steem power holder is delegating your power to others. It allows you to keep your stake but temporarily allow someone else to use it and earn curation rewards instead of yourself. This has become a profitable business for many Steem Power holders and Minnowbooster and Blocktrades offer automated market places for that.

You will never loose any delegated Steem Power and you can always undelegate it again. keep in mind that your Steem Power will take one week before it returns to you from the moment you undelegated it. This helps to avoid gamification with that mechanic. During that time nobody can use your power. A popular field field for delegations are bid-bot holders who sell their votes in public bids several times each day.

5) Delegation Sponsorship

One of the finest way to use your Steem Power is by delegating it to a sponsorship program of one of the new Steem platforms like Utopian, dMania or DTube. They will use your Steem power to upvote the contributions to their platforms and help to grow their users. Utopian.io is the leader of this system with nearly 4 million delegated Steem Power and a return of 20% from the contributors posts. Check out this video for further instructions.

In my opinion this is the future of many new platforms based on Steem and you should make plenty of use of this opportunity because it will create a massive success for the platforms and that will increase the value of Steem and hence your investment. Utopian.io is creating thousands of new open source contributions each week and has become indeed a utopia for many content creators like myself.

6) Self Upvoting

It is your stake and you can do whatever you want with it. That includes self-upvoting as well. If you post your own proper articles and upvote them that is no problem. But don't be fooled into easy Steem by upvoting your own spam posts and comments: You will trigger the massive wrath of other stakeholders and they will flag you and take away all your upvotes effectively annulating your used voting power which will result in massive opportunity costs. So don't do it more than you give back in form of good content. It is also not good for the growth of the Steem blockchain if you just use your voting power on yourself and hence not in your own best interest.

Conclusion

The chances to make massive return of investments with Steem are hidden in Steem Power. Trust into the cryptocurrency you have acquired and use its power to earn more Steem by fueling the ecosystem with your upvote power and help to build the future of financial rewards, social media and decentralized information. There is money everywhere. Power up and get your share of it!

The present

moderndayhippie (56) in poetry •  14 hours ago

Every morning as I rise,

I say thank you to the universe as I open my eyes.

I lay in bed quietly appreciating this gift,

of life and love and the amazing relationship.

To everything, the universe and all that we are,

Even though I struggle to realize why we've come this far.

I feel as though we have lost sight of the goal,

it is only to be happy, productive and fruitful.

To give and to share and to help people out,

is really what lifes' greatest secret is all about.

So, I do my best to appreciate the signs,

the beauty in nature and the events that align.

But there is a gift that comes twice each day,

it's the universes way of saying everything is ok.

Once in the morning for you so you may rise,

and once in the evening to let you know it's ok to close your eyes.

The sunrise and sunset, the fire ball burning,

this world goes round n round and keeps on turning.

Tomorrow may never come so make everyday great,

because the past is behind you so its already to late.

Today is the gift that we have been sent,

that is why it is referred to as the present.

Burning Tree

moderndayhippie (56) in goldenhourphotography •  4 hours ago

I am a huge fan of watching the sunrises and sunsets everyday. I feel there is something truly special about watching the world come to life and then peacefully drifting away after a long day. It is somehow extremely calming yet powerful to me. I see them as pieces of beautiful artwork made by the universe twice every day for us to enjoy and let me tell you, it is absolutely worth taking the time to stop and appreciate! It really is the little things in life that make this world so amazing.

Unfortunately I was been really busy and hadn't had the chance to eat anything all day, the sunset didn't look like it was going to be all that great tonight so I decided to go inside early and start making dinner. Well, I was wrong about the sunset as you can see. Luckily enough my mother knows how much I appreciate a great sunset so she snapped a picture of this one with her phone and sent it to me to enjoy since I missed out. It turned out pretty epic, the sunset made the tree look as if it were burning!

Thanks mom :)

The *Universe* may be trying to tell you something

moderndayhippie (56) in inspiration •  

Have you ever felt like the world is constantly working against you?

Maybe you feel like nothing ever goes your way, or you seem to have terrible luck with everything?

I use to feel that way all the time.

One day I realized I was looking at the whole thing wrong.

The universe wasn't against me at all, it was trying to push me in a different direction and I wasn't listening, so my life was getting increasingly more difficult the further I fell off my path.

Imagine the universe like an ocean, I was swimming against the waves, tiring myself out and not getting very far.

I thought the universe had it out for me. Then I realized, if I just turned around and went with the ocean, the waves would carry me effortlessly!

I had an epiphany: the universe was never against me, I was going against the universe!

And crazy enough the universes plan for me are much better than the life I thought I wanted!

So I guess what I am saying is sometimes you just need to look at things from a different perspective to realize how amazing things can truly be!

Maybe the UNIVERSE is trying to tell you something too

TAKE OWNERSHIP

moderndayhippie (56) in motivation •  

Some people see what the thing they want in life and take it, and some people can only see the thing that prevents them from getting what they want. Success is your duty, it is your obligation and it is your responsibility!

TAKE OWNERSHIP of your shortfalls, take ownership of your mistakes, take ownership of your problems and then take ownership of the solutions that will get those problems SOLVED!

Take ownership of your mission, of your job, of your team, of your future and of your LIFE! And LEAD, lead in life, lead yourself, lead your team and all the people in your life, LEAD THEM ALL to VICTORY!

Don't just listen, don't just talk, DO. Put this information to work.

"Make TODAY count, EVERYDAY."

Get aggressive and attack life! whether its on the battle field or on the beat, or in the factory or on the farm or on the construction site or even the website, DONT hesitate, step! Step FORWARD and get after it. Make TODAY the day you make a change in your life for the better. Stop letting people stop you from your dreams! Take Ownership of the life you want and GO GET IT!

MAKE TODAY COUNT, EVERYDAY!

I made the decision to take ownership of my own life and change it for the better in January 2017. Since then I have listened to motivational speeches everyday for 1 hour on youtube. I know this sounds ridiculous but it helped me to reach all of my goals! Everything you need to succeed is already inside of you, if you listen to these motivational speeches everyday you will start to understand how to utilize the tools (you already have) to get what you want in life, seriously it works! But to get new things and new results in life you need to be willing to do things you have never done before, get outside of the norm, stop letting people decided how your life is going to be. If you take the steps to be in the right mind set, your life WILL get better.

I started taking ownership of my life first by eating healthy, which ultimately made me feel so good that I wanted to start walking everyday, which turned into exercising. As my body cleaned out the toxins my mind became free and ready to learn everything it could, like a sponge. Now I try to read at least an hour or two everyday, and the crazy thing is I use to HATE reading (not anymore). After that I learned all about money and then took ownership of my finances, now less then 1 year later and after living paycheck to paycheck for most of my life, I am getting ready to travel the world! If I can do it anyone can.

So stop listening to the haters and the naysayers, they don't want you to succeed because they aren't succeeding. Surround yourself with people who motivate you and support you, forget everyone else.

Wake up and start your day off right with a list of goals next to your bed so its the first and last thing you see everyday, and a dream of a much better future that all starts with taking ownership of your life!

Is Yoga Good For Anxiety And Depression?

rezoanulvibes (39) in health •  yesterday

We have a lot of responsibilities. And it's increasing day by day. Everything is getting faster. You are feeling stress. Anxiety and depression make you feel bad. Because of anxiety and depression you cannot focus on what you are doing.

So how does yoga help you to reduce anxiety and depression?

Yoga is always there to help you dealing with anxiety and depression. It can help you to alleviate anxiety and reduce the level of stress.

People who experience anxiety and depression often think about the future that something horrible is going to happen. Maybe they had a bad experience and they think it over and over.

Yoga reduces the level of your anxiety.

If you are always worried about the past and future, you are no longer control of the present moment. As a result, you cannot take initiatives to deal with the thing that you are worried about. In this situation yoga helps you to be in the present. Yoga teaches you how to take deep breath to reduce the level of your anxiety.

Anxiety may cause your body to tense up. You usually feel it in the shoulder, neck and back. If you do yoga, your body will be relaxed, more free and release that tension.

Yoga Pose

Yoga poses help you sleep better. Yoga increases blood flow in your body. When you feel like losing control, yoga puts you in a state of mind where you have more control over your body and mind. It increases self confidence.

Breathing

When you are anxious or stressed out, take a deep breath. You know it’s on your head. Calm down! Do yoga regularly. You will see impact on your life. Yoga helps you to be the best version of you.

Do yoga, relax, smile and always be happy!
