### _This post is set to POWER UP 100% _ -----

I got to know Steemit from a friend back in 2017. I tried to share my contents back then but with the value of SBD continually dropping plus not getting the support which everyone expects, I lost my enthusiasm to share articles.

---

Steemit was introduced to me only as an income generator. I was taught only that I will get paid by posting quality articles. My mindest was that I need to post, leave a comment and interact with people within the platform until I came across the articles below by @dobartim of #steemschool that clearly explains how should Steemit and blockchain work.

--- From these articles of him, I quote the messages that hit me really hard. [The Best Option For Steem Promotion and Raising Values](https://steemit.com/hive-152587/@dobartim/the-best-option-for-steem-promotion-and-raising-values) >"If we get a million users who come to make money and sell Steem, the price will certainly not rise." [Connect With The Blogging Business Community And Gain The Trust of Blockchain Influencers](https://steemit.com/hive-152587/@dobartim/connect-with-the-blogging-business-community-and-gain-the-trust-of-blockchain-influencers) >"The point is that even poor users learn how to do business, because if they always spend everything, then they will never achieve great success."

These messages got me hooked to the thought that I still have a lot to learn about this platform. I continued to browse and found myself reading more of his great articles.

--- [Steem Investment is The Most Profitable For All Users - Power Up](https://steemit.com/hive-152587/@dobartim/steem-investment-is-the-most-profitable-for-all-users-power-up) >"Steem is not gambling, Steem is a social business network with the logic of business, and if we all understand how it works together then we will be very successful and rich."

Indeed an eye-opener for me. These articles made me think of the path I want to take in the future here in Steemit. Yes, these posts made me come up with a long-term plan.

---

Everyone wants to be successful here but unfortunately, not everyone understands nor bothers to know the logic behind this platform. How I wish that the true message of his posts will reach a wider audience as we must get to have the cycle to continue. I still have a long way to go and I am learning every day. If we keep on focusing only on the generating income part of Steemit, the time will come that it will just become part of our history and we do not want that. Well, it may happen eventually but I do not want it to happen soon.

----

These realizations made me get in touch with the good friends of mine @jenesa and @leebaong whom I know has the same thought as mine.

Steemit is a business and business comes with an investment. This is the message we want to highlight in our campaign to promote Steemit. We will not focus only on new users but on old users as well. Yes, our mini team's goal is not only to encourage users to sign up, post, and earn but we would like to also educate users on the value of investing and powering up.

---

We had a meeting earlier and that end up really well. Plans were set and everyone is excited to execute them.

It is time to think BIG to become BIG.

---

The meeting lasted for about 4 hours. We have clearly discussed our goals, future activities to attract users and other things we need to effectively promote Steemit highlighting the need to power up and not just merely earn.
