Such a great article! I am an Engineering student and I started using steem in October 2017. I started with $0.001 per upvote and now I am at $0.15 per upvote, which is not much when compared with great whales in the steem sea. But, I started with $200 of Steem power and now my account is estimated at $1500. I followed the simple steps as mentioned above. Steem is without a boubt future !! to the moon!!
