Hi Richard, I think this is a great idea.
I have invested all I could afford (0.1 BTC) into Steem Power . I got 17.016 SP once I became familiar with the concept and my #introduceme post is here.

I have also converted all my payouts in Steem Dollars to STEEM. It seems that the posts about Steem itself make a lot of money but I'm fairly new to the concept and don't want to regurgitate content on here. I am genuinely looking to add original content and add value to this network, for example see my news post from Wednesday https://steemit.com/news/@jholmes91/why-the-bank-of-england-s-attempt-at-avoiding-recession-may-make-matters-worse
This is the type of news content I want to bring to people; educational, informative and based on current affairs.
