That was the time when I decided to start painting and of course he mentioned that there are some people who also post their artwork. That was the reason why I had an interest.* *The first few posts were very hard, few cents and zero comments. At the end of the second week when we were thinking to leave the blockchain one of my artpost received an upvote from @blocktrades. Those of you who were from very beginning they know that such upvotes brought about 80$ and of course after weeks of cents that was a real reward.* *I think on Steemit the curators also waited and learnt who the users are and how serious they were.* *But such stimulus at the beginning is very important for newcomers and such big accounts should on and off visit smaller ones with upvotes or good words.* ![Unbenbannt-1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVPs6CTMTerdK7Wn1KcwLEwBJxQKAP31NkVhijhrGgTTi/Unbenbannt-1.jpg) ![Trenner groß.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQVjUTweTEM2sUDbVAZT8fnim9trUp5cQ474QMYJC7fAe/Trenner%20gro%C3%9F.png) *** ***How to become visible*** *** *It is important to have Steem Power if people want to be visible. It is not enough to earn and cash it out, the curators are there but there are much more people who around who need support.* *With the help of curators you can get visibility but also it can help you to grow and get stronger. It is important that those accounts then to support others and help community grow.* *From our side we used different way:* + We used bidvote such as minnowbooster and @randowhale1, he was sleeping but once his Upvote Power was full he voted those who set their vote for just 1 Steem! ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUrSW4bjwn2RPE3Zp94v1xe5KhWL7Zy5DdnjDnXnjtwSp/image.png) + Of course to boost you needed Steem, the users usually loosing rather than winning, therefore, very soon we just stopped it. + We learnt that it is easy to invest our own money and to buy Steem and that is what we did. @myskye shifted some old coins that were there without use, so we just decided to Power Up. + Powering up is only the way to be stronger and to get more from that. You see that despite of that we still Powering up. ![Unbenanghdfnt-1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcFfp4nyAq4PkSEWFiz4giYpvp3c6MYVxzSsp9PMiB18Z/Unbenanghdfnt-1.jpg) ![Trenner groß.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQVjUTweTEM2sUDbVAZT8fnim9trUp5cQ474QMYJC7fAe/Trenner%20gro%C3%9F.png) ***What is our Future?*** *Who knows where we will be in near or remote future. Everything can get changed. The life is busy, so long we have time for that we are here. As active member of Steem blockchain it is good to know that there are bosses who also interested in the success of Steem. People may lose their interests and leave the blockchain. If people do not see any progress, it is then just wasting time.* ![Unbenannt-1_4.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcs67pSJCFpZr4M7cCC5EAWR7sH51UjFeFWaKHpNMKLjQ/Unbenannt-1_4.png) ***Who knows how our 5th year on Steem will be looking like. Let’s see where we re in a year time.*** *** * *** ***@stef1 Power Up snapshot*** *** ![2021-08-26_103524.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUabWYwmE4VmaQCY7ZXP3uiz4xqfUuNKqSodNrnUbM1cV/2021-08-26_103524.jpg) ![2021-08-26_103603.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmR3HvRPYQSseVLxeZG3SHtcsx2UvuqVozjW1xRTtVMqxE/2021-08-26_103603.jpg) ![Trenner groß.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQVjUTweTEM2sUDbVAZT8fnim9trUp5cQ474QMYJC7fAe/Trenner%20gro%C3%9F.png) * *** ***CURATION TRIAL @worldofxpilar*** *** [![YaFx5Xh8dcRE2tjviA.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQXm4MrGTznEozoMuMkcENZm4hEyvshzNxuCct8LTSuVQ/YaFx5Xh8dcRE2tjviA.jpg)](https://steemit.com/hive-185836/@xpilar/steem-auto-owned-by-xpilar-we-give-you-a-brand-new-steem-auto-and-a-brand-new-world-of-xpilar-curation-trail) ![Trenner groß.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQVjUTweTEM2sUDbVAZT8fnim9trUp5cQ474QMYJC7fAe/Trenner%20gro%C3%9F.png) [![XTest-1ab.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXmznSXQiKav6brAMN3mmkJ5f1BbxHhaLd5qvLBH3VkGr/XTest-1ab.jpg)](https://steemit.com/@art-venture)
