It can seem like slow going here on Steemit at first. But once you get a good momentum. growth seems to be exponential.

However, it can be hard to **get** that ball rolling. So here's an idea that you can try to start filling your wallet with some Steem Power and give yourself a good kickstart.

## Be a part of the Steemit economy

Do you have a marketable skill? Sell it for Steem.

When I really started on Steemit, I didn't have anything and I wasn't interested in buying any Steem to invests. So what I did in order to build up some funds was to sell commissions for avatars for Steemit currency. 

You can check it out here:
- [**New Commission, HERE! Get Your Own With STEEM And SBD**](https://steemit.com/art/@shayne/new-commission-here-get-your-own-with-steem-and-sbd)

That's just one example of a good way to snowball. One thing that I would do was to complete the commission and then make a post about it. That way I would have made some Steem off of the commission itself and then *also* have a good chance of making a little more.

**So that's it!**
