Why do I continuously participate in this contest? Because powering up is not just an entry, it's an investment in my Steemit journey. So, you know, powering up is converting our liquid steem to Steem Power. It's an easy task with a few simple steps. So, let's see how it's done.

Power up process

---

• Go to your wallet and log in with the posting key.

Before Power Up

---

• The below screenshot shows my wallet. You can see the amount of Steem and Power I have.

• There's a drop-down menu in front of Steem balance, and you can see the power-up option there. Click it.

150 STEEM POWER-UP

• In the next window, type the amount you need to power up from the available balance, and use the active key to confirm it.

After Power Up

---

• It doesn't take long to finalize the process.

The importance of Power Up

• To Grow my account - Use this platform, not just to earn! But to build! As most of us start from zero here, there should be something to rise from all the other newbies. While creating quality content, we have to grow our account and show our commitment to the platform. Then we can grow our reputation, and show the community as a stable user.

• Greater Voting Power - With higher Steem Power, our voting power increases. It means we can support other creators better and as return, we can earn higher curation rewards.

• Delegation - We can use it to strenghten other communities, and self sustain.

• Eligibility for Opportunities - Responsibiltites like community curator, steem representatives, moderators, etc open with a certain level of Steem Power.

• High influence on witness votes

• To earn an interest!

STEEM POWER increases at an APR of approximately 2.75%, subject to blockchain variance. See FAQ for details.

So, I guess you get the idea!
