just keep it going. You'll eventually get there. I'm slowly realizing that I needed to buy some steem via the lumen in order to make some more steem power. Also, submit a post every once in a while to @merlin7; she upvotes you based on how much SBD or steem you send, but she does do what she promises. Helps, too. And, there's daily SBD for life. Not much, but it adds up.
