Over the past days, powering up is a struggle for newbies to understand. It seems to be difficult in understanding terms and processes Steemit has offered. With it being decentralized, a lot has offered services for one's convenience - **Part of it is powering-up your SBD's**.
#
### There's a better way of Powering-up your SBD Earnings!
A way that it it offers zero transaction cost and will make you maximize your SBD earnings to power-up! This also comes to converting your **SBD's** to **STEEM**. I'll walk you through to make sure you'll get the whole thing. Currently, the **50-50 Payout option** is the most advisable because of **SBD's** market price value. That's one of the technique if you want to maximize your earnings to power-up, you need to use the **50 - 50** option first. Then power-up your SBD's by converting it to Steem.

I guess the **GIF** I made below will be able to walk you through to power-up your earnings.

- #### Sell you SBD for STEEM
On the **BUY STEEM** portion, which means your buying Steems in exchange of your SBDs. Type in the total of **SBD's** you wanted to exchange for **STEEM**. If you want to convert all, simply click  that **Available** label, that will automatically input all of your SBDs. Then click that **Lowest Ask**, it simply means that's the highest amount/ratio a Steemit user wanted to sell their **Steem to SBD**. 

The **0.833449** there means your **0.833449 SBD** is equivalent to **1 STEEM**.
