STEEM POWER 1000 - On The Way to HERO STATUS! The Steemit Experience II
Time and Money
On July 30, 2016 I decided that STEEMIT was worth it. It being my time and money. At this point I decided to make the move towards achieving Hero Status and transforming into a Dolphin. In my article, I explain that I had made it to 1000 STEEM POWER, by blogging and upvoting but mostly I bought the STEEM to convert to STEEM POWER. Here I explain why I wanted to achieve the magic number of 1000 STEEM POWER.
Today, August 3, 2016 marks the 4th Day of holding 1000 STEEM POWER. As you can see in the picture, on July 30, 2016 I had 1000 STEEM POWER in my STEEMIT account. I have posted approximately 9 articles. I have given out countless up votes while being somewhat selective and never dropping below 75% in voting power. I didn’t officially keep track, but I believe I commented/replied between 8 - 20 times per day while also being selective as to which articles I left comments on.
STEEM Power Gains
As of August 3, 2016 I now have 1036.5 STEEM POWER. I rounded the number for simplicity. That means that in 4 days I gained about 36.5 STEEM POWER. That math works out to about a 3.65% gain in 4 days, or just slightly less than 1% a day at .9%. So between some blogging, some up voting, some commenting and the interest earned by STEEM POWER, it seems I made a nice return.
By the time I post this and you read this, I will have doubled down and acquired another large batch of STEEM POWER. I will be 3/4ths of the way to HERO status. At this moment there are only about 537 HERO accounts out of the about 45,000 STEEMIT users. I am hoping to make it HERO #538 or so real soon. Hopefully I can help make a difference for the better here on www.steemit.com. I plan to be as active as possible and I also plan to spread the wealth as much as possible. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more.
Full $TEEM Ahead!!

Ha! so, you've got more than 1000 steem power, but you still give 0.00 every post. This is discouraging.
Are you upvoting often?
I do upvote of course @cablezero . I do believe there is a bit of strategy to upvoting. I am trying to figure it out. So for now, I will up vote my own articles, and anyone elses between about 15 minutes but before 30 minutes from posting the article. But please do not be discouraged. I have been involved in Bitcoin for a little while, and find STEEMIT is also a likely success, so read some of my articles, it will help you to better understand. Thanks.

The time of upvoting your own article doesn't really count, because you receive both the author and the curator rewards. But you are right, if you see a trending article you should vote it before the crowd.
At some authors I even upvote it around 10 minutes to be in the first 1%, in this way I get only about 25% of the curator rewards, but from a bigger curator fee.
Got It @spiz0r I appreciate the info. Will keep that in mind.
@streetstyle
Remember to check your voting power at steemd.com/@username so you get most efficiency from your votes. (just in case you didn't know about it)
I'm myself closing in at 1000 SP soon too, just after 3 weeks of being active here. :)
Thanks @acidyo both for the upvote and the info. I'm on it.

@streetstyle
So, can I ask you: how much is worth your upvote when you are 99% charged?
@cablezero4 I am going to guess around .04 SBD and No Up Vote for the Article??

@streetstyle
Thanks for the upvote @cablezero4
good point. He hasn't even upvoted his own content.
@himalayanguru I did upvote. Still waiting for your upvote of the article.
And ps. to all those that upvoted, send a positive comment so I can upvote it. It's the least I can do. Thanks

Good luck to the 537th place! :) You need to post some trending articles, and you are done!
@spiz0r Thanks for the up vote, it is much appreciated. I would really like to thank everyone who upvoted it from the bots to the humans, from the minnows to the Whales (@complexring). Thank you.
And I believe 537 is taken, it would have to be 538 and I just might have to do it.

@streetstyle
Oh and Holy Sh*t, I love poker (no limit texas hold'em btw) I just saw that on your blog. NICE!!
Me too. :) I made a living from poker around 2006.
Congrats @streetstyle! I aspire to the grand as well. My plan is comments, upvotes and an occasional post that gains some traction.
Thanks @cryptobro and thanks for the up vote on the article. Hope this up vote helps. Thanks again.
@streetstyle
Thanks for sharing your experience
Congrats!
@rigel , Thank you. Stay tuned for more. I am a bit eclectic, but it should be interesting.
Wow well done you for achieving that. Must be lovely to be in that position
@karenb54 Thank you. To be honest with you, it has been a lot of hard work. I have done a lot of what I like to call "homework" in order to be in the position that I am in now. And I continue to have a few endeavors that keep me busy. Anyhow, again thank you for the upvote.
Full $TEEM Ahead!
@streetstyle
I have been on here for over 2 weeks I've tried my hardest to get somewhere but still not moving I can only imagine the amount of work you have put into this, I'm glad is paying off for you.

@timsaid , I will if you upvote the article ;-D
