The absolute best way to increase your Steem Power on here is to do the
Following:

Step #1 : Make 5-10 very Original Content posts each day. Especially Photography of the part of the World you live in. I find people want to see what other places look like - so I post lots of Nature Photographs from canada with a very short blurb on the area.

Post your Creative work - Paintings, sculptures, writing, poetry, Travel photos, etc etc

Only Upvote 5 posts per day to keep your Voting Power at 100 % - You are Voting too much and your Votes end up being wroth zero dollars. - Once you get to $500 Steem power you can adjust how much % vote you hand out. if you want to Vote on 100 posts per day you can set your Vote power to 1 %

Get paid 50/50 rewards so that you have some Steem Dollars to convert to Steem if Steem Dollars go up to $3 and Steem is at $1 or so....
