I post my original art work, original photography, original digital Art. I was lucky to get a few huge Whale upvotes when I started ($50-$80) and powered up everything. I have also used @booster and @smartsteem for some extra upvotes which did well when Steem was at $8 .... I was exchanging my SBD for Steem when SBD was at $14 and made an extra 100% on those trades and powered everything up.
