Your power comes from collecting payouts, so make quality content for a few weeks and wait. The dollar value is the amount of steem, sbd, and power, when the market value is figured. Just power up as much as you can. I dropped less than 50USD into my account, back in the day.
Just write as well as you can, and as often as you can. It takes a long time to get there, but being involved is key.
Who to upvote: @pastbastard of course!
