Here in steemit platform, powering up means a whole lot and brings tremendous benefits to both the users and the ecosystem. In what sense I'm I saying this? It do not only add value to the blog while powering up but also helps you invest to earn from your investment.

Before any steemians has steem to power up, you must be active, hard working, show consistency and wait patiently while calculating what you will have at the end of the week or month and then know what to power up.

When I login my blog this evening, I saw unclaimed reward and I claim it with excitement. I decided to remain in my club status by powering half of my earning.

• This first pictures show the number of liquid steem and steem power available in my wallets.

• I went to the liquid steem in my wallet and clicked on the drop down menu and a pop up dialog appeared. I click on power up as pointed in the picture below.

• Next I did was to fill in the blank space by writing the exact amount of steem I want to power up. Then I click on Power Up option for the next process.

• After completing the process, then I confirm the power up process by clicking on the ok option

• Boom!! It is successful, so I returned to my wallet and see that my steem power has increased from 9,526.689 to 9,596.115 steem power. Waw,,oo this is great.

Important of powering up.

Powering Up is to assist newbies by dedicating part of my Steem Power to them. It also helps me contribute to the growth of a community through my dedication.

Steem Power gives you "curation rewards". If I upvote a particular post and that post is getting more votes than before, I definitely will get paid. This will help to increase the number of my steem without any investment.

Regular powering up helps steemians to build thier Steem Power in a very fast rates and also to earn rewards when we decided our Steem Power to any Community. With this, we can see that power up is a win win game, we are not losing anything, instead we gain a lot after Powering up. So it is advisable we make it our hobby to power up on regular basis.

My special thanks goes to Admin and mods of @steemit-iron chef for organising contest because it helps us to power up on a weekly basis.

I would like to invite @pandora2010, @dausi @chant and @max-pro to participate in this contest.
