I don't power up all my Steem to my personal account, I devote some to my project account and some to my wife's account.
I also sell delegation to @randowhale and intend to increase the delegation over time. Today I started vote selling on minnowbooster. I upvote every faucet I find to get paid on it. I do most posts through busy so I can get the boost. And I may soon be offering a paid review service that comes with upvotes and resteems to qualifying posts.
I realize some may frown on some of these activities but I have big plans for Steem and I gotta become a bigger fish to accomplish these plans. I am currently trying to build as much Steem as possible and I have faith that it will pay off. There are big opportunities here for early adopters and we all need to do our best to get in position.
Steem truly is the wealth building opportunity of a lifetime. As @taskmaster4450 says, if you have to spend some do what you gotta do. But try to save as much as you can. And maybe think about putting some to work for you if possible. This could be a life changing decision.
Great post as always.
Keep Steeming!
