Blogging and curating not necessary the only option if you Low on Steem power. There are options.

Guys i have been in steemit for few weeks now, spending 5 hours a day reading,blogging, curating, i have learned a lot.
Then i realised that there are some tricky things in steemit.

I am very low on steem power as you can view my wallet, never was able to afford any even, thought i can its such a low amount that it wont make any difference. Missed my chance when steem was 0.15$, but i guess most of us didn't knew about steem as it was not popular back then.

Now i was thinking how to change that, i mean currently you start with merely 3.00 SP (steem Power)
If you some blockchain person or you have your own youtube channel i guess you will survive, but what if not.
What if you are just an ordinary guy with ordinary job without crazy IT skills.

Now how many people in steemit can say that English is there native language like 1/3.
I see so your English is not perfect either and you struggle to write a good long post. You consume 5 hours by translating word after word, and in the end the post gets 4 votes what you call a massive fail.

OK the look there are few options to change that at least make you earn some little by little.
(There is no way to become rich if your posts don't earn a lot or you don't power up)

1. Lets try the first way without powering yourself.

So in the past 10 posts you have earned less then $10? If so stop posting, obviously not forever ,but at least until you get a brilliant idea what will guarantee you a good payout.
Try something else: stay in the new post section keep searching for good posts, once you find them read them if its really good one up-vote and comment it. Make a shocking comment that once everyone who read it comes down and see you comment think yeah well said.
This will consume you less time then posting, and probably will earn you at least 10-20$ a week. Not a lot, but its a start and if you are patient person like me it will stack up sooner or latter.

1. Now the other way involves powering up (Steem Power). Yeah you heard that right, but you can't afford more then 500 steem power? not a problem 500 will do for the start.
   Why? well as some of you know steem power grows just by holding it. If you have 500 SP at the start and you keep commenting and up-vote only the good posts you have commented, in like 6 months that 500 SP will turn into 5000 SP.

Note you can't give up after a week, but i you done so don't be afraid you haven't lost your money after 1 year you will still get around 5000 Sp just for holding it. The advise is to make it faster by being active in the society.

Thanks for reading hope it helped you to move forward again.
