I should also say, I haven't been watching my feed much on Steem lately - been much too busy. But, I do catch an occasional video of yours on YT still. Good to see you're keeping on doing what you do.

All organic growth too! That's growth to be proud of - by your own sweat equity.
A couple of tips to accelerate your growth a bit more: It's great you're responding to commenters on your posts. You could try commenting on the posts of others more too. Ideally, you want engaged followers (not just bulk follower) because engaged followers will upvote you more.
Instead of selling you SBD post rewards and then powering up the STEEM into SP, you might consider using the SBD to promote your post via an upvote bot. That will increase your ROI over the SBD->STEEM-SP method you're currently using. An easy bot for beginners to try is MinnowBooster - they give guaranteed ROI - granted, not high ROI, but still more than selling the SBD for STEEM (then SP). And, using this method, you get more visibility for your posts too.

minnow booster was following me for awhile, i guess i was supposed to transfer steem to it? didn't know

You don't have to do anything, but if you send it some SBD (not steem) and inude your post uri in the memo, then you'll get an upvote.
