Good day my fellow Steemians! I am a newbie to all things Steemit being about 2 months into this site. Some of you will know this trick, but others may not. I want to share what I recently discovered to help you maximize your Steem Power from your postings.
The standard way that your posts are awarded to the author after the 7 days is an author reward that is 50-50 split of SBD and Steem Power. This is the default it seems when you begin. For some this works well as they have posts that make a decent amount of money. And if they have a large amount of Steem Power they can focus on receiving SBD to help monetize and make some money from their efforts. All the following images are what you see when you create your blog post.
But, there is the case for newbie minnows like myself that start with the account balance of 50 cents and you have the rating of 25 that all beginners start with. After your intro post, your posts tend (at least in my experience) to trail off and decrease in amount of SBD/Steem generated from future blog posts. To build up the potential to monetization for your posts you need to also build up your base of followers and continue providing content (or have the luck of a whale upvoting your post).
But, I digress.
After the 7 days has past, you get you reward from your post and it is split roughly 50-50 between SBD and Steem Power. Then after your SBD is building, if you want to convert it to Steem Power you have to go through the process of converting the SBD to Steem and then convert that Steem to Steem Power. This is a long process and you have the potential of losing some value going through the conversion process. To avoid this, do the following:
Go to your rewards field of your post when creating your post.
Click on the field and select “Power Up 100%”.
Now when your content is posted your post rewards will be given all in Steem Power!
The advantage to making this change is that your Steem Power will increase a lot faster. And, if you are a minnow you will see your 1 cent upvote move quicker in value as your posts are converted to Steem Power! To know when your post is designated to go 100% full Steem Power, your blog/post title at the end will have the Steem emblem after it.
Thanks for reading!!! If you like this post please provide an upvote! And, if it’s really something special feel free to resteem the post! If you like the content I’m provide leave a comment and follow so you can get future updates and posts from me. Thanks again!
Thanks for the info, I did this myself going to see how it goes in the next few weeks. I hope you can follow and read my posts some time I followed you and upvoted yours :)
You're welcome @wylink. I noticed when you get a post and it's rewarded for say $5, that $5 is broken up into three chunks if you use the default option. That $5 will go: $1 or so to curators and then $2 to SBD and $2 to Steem Power. Those numbers are approximate. But, switching to the 100% Steem Power option you get the breakdown instead as $1 to curators and $4 to Steem Power. Hope this works out for your future posts!
thank you very much for the tip!
thanku informative for 50 50
You are most welcome!
Nice and useful post. Upvoted resteemed and follow your account. Greetings from Hungary!
Thank you for the reSteem @attilaloe
It's very useful article ... thanks for sharing.
You are welcome @alhasan
Great advice for everyone @drstevegilbert Thanks
Thank you very much @bigpanda
Nice tip! I have already changed it since my last posts to see what results. Btw, you shouldn't use the introduceyourself tag for something that is not for that; you can get your post flagged.
Beep beep. Hi @drstevegilbert! I am @tipU - a service designed to make sending tips super easy.
I also share my profits with the users ;) Click here if you wish to learn more!
This is a bot that posts when someone says tip?o_o
That sends tip if you write tip with exclamation mark :) but only if you made a deposit first - otherwise it will just inform you about its existence :)
the tip is .001SBD right? LOL I will check anyways :P
The minimum tip is 0.1 SBD :) Check this out:

I read it and now I understand. It's a nice service =)
You are absolutely right @fabiyamada. But, this post is aimed for the minnows in the introduce yourself postings though. Changing the reward section was never explained too much to me when I began. This is only meant to help the small folks looking to get their Steem Power up quicker. It'll take forever going the 50-50 route. Thank you for the advice. Hope this post helps you out with your future posts and Steem Power accumulation! Thanks!
I see. It's really helpfull :)

Ciao! I saw that you have been on here for some time so I thought I'd send my late regards. Have an upvote and I hope you will some day do the same!
Getting those upvotes on a new account can be a daunting task, believe me, so you could give Steemfollower a go. This exchange lets you earn up to 5x more steem than just upvoting by yourself! It's a simple and safe vote exchange that is free to use. I compiled this post to explain the system in more depth and it has become my most upvoted post yet.
Well written. Thank you!
